ONE MODE OF LIVING.
A Methodist Missionary's Experience
In misunderstanding Interview
with Rev. ]. A. Northup.

Rev. j. A. Northup, whose arrival in
this city with his family from India, was
noticed in the ARGUS week ago, has
been visiting among relatives here during
the week, and Mon day next will leave for
Iowa. Mr.. Northup has spent eight years
in the missionary fields of India. lie did
not go to that province as a missionary
from any denomination in this country.
| He went in the interest of the Methodist
Episcopal church. but as worker under
the Rev William Taylor, now missionary
bishop of Africa and he was paid by the
people of India for his work among them.
Mr.. Northup spent one year at Calcut>
ia, three years at Poora, two years at
Banglor, two years in and near Bombay,
and he therefor had opportunity of study
ing the people and their modes of living
sufficiently to enable him to give some in
teresting ideas conce rning them.
An ARGUS representative had the
pleasure of interviewing Mr.. North
up. and CLEANED the following
points The people of India MIR.
Northrup says. are sort of a mix
ture between the English and Eurasions
The Mohammedans and the Hindoos are
the names of the
| PRINCIPAL CLASSES.
The total population of the country is
253, 600, 000 of which 100000, 900 are
Mohammedans The latter class seem to
be the more civilized, although they have
a popularity in their domestic relations,
the women very seldom appearing in the
streets, and when they do they are thickly
yelled. The Hindoos go out free
ly, but are given more to idol
airy, holding the cow as sacred
besides having many other idols. Mr..
Northrup said according to some authori-
ties the Hindoos gods outnumbered the
population of the people. The Mohamme>
dams on the other hand are butchers.
They rejoice in beef. and often take pride
on feast days in driving the cattle to be
slaughtered past the doors of their Hindoo
neighbors. This is very often the cause
of serious trouble between the two fac
tions. The people of the province al
though as rule show the marks of civ
ilization, they are generally ignorant, and
poor as they have been for generations.
They work for little or nothing, some Of
the men keeping family on 80 or 81 pei
month. The food of the poor classe:
consists mostly of rice and "currie. which
is made of clarified butter, or mixture OF
spices, vegetables. herbs and sometime:
meats.
The people are generally given to indo
lence and idleness, the diligent ones
being the exception. The lines Of
caste are strictly drawn and ar
IDENTIFY observed. The servants even have
a rank among themselves cook viii

came up, said Mr.. Northrup, the people as
whole were in sympathy with England,
and had there been war, they would have
gone to the side of the Britain. The ma
tive princes offered the British Govern,
ment troops There were only few who
dissented from being loyal to the crown.
These were the Brahmas, who, having
had considerable education, felt compe~
tent and qualified to occupy positions of
rank above the common class. These
people were dissatisfied on this ground
only, and would have helped Russia with
one idea, and that. that they were to be
given place in the ability of the
country. The prospects of war occasioned
little excitement, and the people now fee
that peace is again assured

The court penalties are very severe. and

A LONDON MOB.

Serious Demonstration In the English Capt.
tai BY Mob of Unemployed Workmen
Finally Dispersed BY Strong Force OF
Police.
LONDON, February IA serious riot
occurred yesterday in the vicinity OF
Parliament street. A procession OF
5000 unemployed workmen accom-
panied by bands of music and
carrying banners inscribed with
legends denouncing the Government,
and demanding work, marched to the
buildings occupied by the local govern
ment board in Whitehall. A delegation
forced its way in to the officers of the
board, and demandad that a means of
relief be afforded them by the establish
ment of public relief works.
The officials present gave the delegation
q cold reception, offering them no en-
couragement whatever. This treat
ment SO incensed the mob
that what had previously been
but noisy demonstration at once as
sumed the form of riot. The few po-
licemen present attempted to restore or
der, but they were overpowered, and the
mob inva ed Downing street.
The men marched to the official resi-
dence of Mr.. Gladstone, where a halt
was called. Here they gave groans and
Kisses for the Premier, and the entire
Liberal Cabinet was roundly denounced
for their negligence Of the workingman
and his interests.
The Cabinet was in session at the time,
and the sudden assembling of the mob
caused the members great alarm. Mr..
Gladstone, it is said, at first thought the
mob intended to sack the building and
offer personal violence to him and his
colleagues.

lily reinforced and the mob was finally
driven from the street; not, how
ever until it had made an
attempt to storm the Admiralty and Home
Offices. Both buildings were freely pelted
with all sorts of missiles. The affair
causes intense excitement throughout
the city.

END OF a BLOODY CAREER.

Joe Brannon, Noted Texas Desperate,
Shot in Fight With Officers.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, February 16.-For
many years Dick and Joe Brannon have
been terrors in Western Texas. Their
crimes have been many and bloody. They
belong to large and desperate gang Of
outlaws. Joe was killed Saturday in
Hickory County, Mo-, while resisting ar
rest by United States officers. Their last
depreciation was in December last, when
Post-office and store in Barnett County
were robbed.
Deputy Marshal Bayliss, of Austin got
clue to the whereabouts of the Brannon
brothers by means of letters directed to
them. Last Sunday Baylis's accompanied
by Deputy Marshal McGee, left this city
for Hickory County. They proceeded to
Buffalo, Mo-, where they were reinforced
by Sheriff Burns and an attorney named
Roberts. They went on to Pittsburgh,
where the Brannons lived, being there re-
inforced by four other men. They rode
to within one mile of the house, secreting
themselves behind log stable.
About daylight the next morning the
young brother of the desperadoes came
out of the stable. He was captured and
put under the care of Burns. After wait
ing some time Joe Brapnon came to the
stable, and just as he turned the corner
McGee demanded his surrender. MCGEE
fired Immediately, as also did Brannon,
the two shots being almost simultaneous.
Brannon then ran around the corner Of
the stable, pursued by the posse, while
Bayliss ran around the other side and
headed him off. The firing then became
general. Brannon fell, exclaiming:
"Boys, surrender"
The wounded man soon expired, having
received thirteen wounds between the
belt and the knees.
