QUAINT AND ANCIENT CHARACTER.
The valley of Cashmere is about 10(
miles long and averages TWENTY-FIVE
miles in width, and the surrounding
mountains vary in height from 5000
to 10, 900 feet above the level of the
sea. 1t was formerly Mohammedan
country; indeed, all the natives are
Moslems, but at the conquest of north
ern India the British sold the province
of Cashmere to one of the Sikh
princes, a Hindoo, and it is now
ruled by a Ra,ah under British
protection. The nearest railway ter
minus is that of Rawul Pindee, where
Lord Dufferin received the Ameer of
Cabul. This place is some 1000 miles
from Bombay. From Rawul Pindee to
the ruined city of Serinagar is about
200 miles, which can be travelled by
easy stages.
Cashmere is favorite resort for An
glo-Iudian officials during the hot sea-
son. and about 800 English officers,
with their families, are permitted to
enter the valley yearly, but they are
regarded as the Maharajah's guests,
and are accommodated with bunga-
Most of these dwellings, which are
wooden structures, must have been
destroyed in the recent earthquake.
When l was in Cashmere l dned
with his Highness, or rather at his
Highness' expense, for he, strict or
thodox Hindoo, would not dream of
eating with beef eating foreignerl
The dinner was provided in the palace
in the city of Serinagar, and the party,
which consisted of all the European
visitors, lad es and gentlemen, arrived
about eight o'clock in their barges.
Armed cavaliers of the Arabian Nights
style were stationed at the doors, and
torch bearers illuminated the gayly
painted halls, making the whole scene
one of a striking character. The black
coats of the English guests presented
a strange contrast to The bright dresses
of our royal host and his attendants.
The Maharajah-that is to say the
Great Rajah-received the visitors in a
large reception hall, and was at
tended by the chief officers of
state. These entertainments usual
ly commenced with nautch dance,
but, in Difference to the wishes of |
lnc clergy present, tnlS somewhat |
questionable performance was omitted |
But we had the band. The Mahara-
iah's band is queer institution. The
Instruments are of the most quaint
and ancient character, probably the
same as those used by those celebrated
musicians in the days of the Prophet
Daniel. Some of the pieces played
we're pretty, the special favorite being
he popular tune of Taxa be taxa nau
"a nau."

HE HAD THE LAST SAY.
Two Lawyers Very Badly FooIoa h..
n Shrewd Third One.
Sacramento Bee.

Sacramento Bee.
Yesterday afternoon a number ~
lawyers in the court house were die
cussing the influence OF ''having tha
last say" on jury, and whether or
not the last speech was not the most
effective, when well-known member
of the bar related the following:
When Aleck Anderson and Charley
Jones were not so old as they are now
away back in the younger and purer
days of the Republic-they were
| great deal more ambitious than AT
present, and their efforts to get a case
and win it were watched with interest
by the older members of the LEGAL
fraternity. One tine three men who
had ''stood up" a cit zen on Third and
Main streets, and robbed him of all
his coin-were arrested. When the
time came for trail, Anderson was to
defend one, Jones another, and w B.
G. Keller the third. After the test-
mony was coSeluded, the three young
attorneys hSd consultation as to
who should first speak. Anderson and
Keller seemed afraid that the three
comb ned arguments would be so
lengthy that the elaborate efforts they
proposed to make might be interrupted
by the court, unless they could get in
first, and they were very much aston
ished when Jones smlingly and mag
unanimously told them to proceed, and
that he would take ''the last saw"
Anderson spoke first, reviewed the
testimony, and eloquently proclaimed
the innocence of all three prisoners.
Keller followed in a similar strain, and
pictured the trio as guiltless as babes
unborn. When Jones came to speak
he took an entirely different course.
He remembered that during the cross
examination of the complaining wit
ness he had admitted that only two
men seized him whilst the third stood
some feet away. The attorney took
up the testimony and dissected it, de-
claring that there was no doubt of the
guilt of the two men whom Anderson
and Keller were defending. He scored
the two offenders for laying violent
hands on good and peaceful citizen,
while his client stood horrOr-stricken
some distance away. James Goods
was district attorney at that time,
and when Jones had concluded he
SAID he did not see that there remained
for the prosecution to say.
He was willing to accept Jones theory
of the case. The Jury retired, and in
ten minutes returned verdict OF
guilty against Anderson's and keller's
men and generating Jones client
''Since that day." concluded the mar
rator, Anderson will never, if he can
help it, allow Jones to have the last

Slavery in New York.

Schenectady Star.
In the year 1899 New York State
adopted a gradual emancipation act
There were then about 10000 slaves
in the State. In 1917 another act was
passed declaring all slaves free on the
4th of July, 1921. 1t will be observed
that there have been no slaves, BY
law, in this State for forty-eight years
There were very few in 1927; nearly
all had become free under the act OF
gradual emancipation, passed in 179s.
1t may be proper TO remark thatman

vious to 1868. were in the habit OF

logs. Some of the br dyes are occu-
pied with shops, / Ike old London
bridge, which are extremely quaint,
although unsiehtly structures. There
are no cabs or carts or carriages in the
city of Serinagar, and therefore no
conveyances rumble along its narrow
dirty streets. 1t is a. wise dispersal
ton of Providence that wheeled con-
veyances have not been introduced in
the capital of Cashmere, for the people
would be too lazy to get out of the
way. The Cashmeree never walks nor
works if he can help it. In recent
famines they preferred dying to either.
And yet they are skilled workmen.
The manufactures of Cashmere are
well known. Cashmere shawls have a
worldwide reputation, although the
trade is not as prosperous as it used to
be. A Cashmere shawl has been sold
in Paris and London for 1900, and
even more. The silver and gold work
in bracelets and necklaces is perhaps
unequalled in the world, for it has pc
culiar unfinished style fits own which
cannot be initiated. The copper work
is very antique in its appearance. The
painted and inlaid wood work, erro-
neously called by Europeans papier-
mache, is also very beautiful. 1t is an |
interesting fact that the well-known
Cashmere shawl pattern, which finds
expression in all articles of Cashmere
manufacture, has its origin in the pc
culiar winnings of the river Jhelum
along the valley.
The women of Cashmere are re-
nowned for their beauty. They are
exceedingly fair for Orientals. In
former years they were seized and sold |
as slaves for the seraglios of Eastern
And even in modern days
the Cashmere beauty has found place

1t was a clear morning, and beauti-
full beyond description was the pamo-
ramic view as we wound along the riv-
er in its circular course. All around
the country was rich with verdure.
Rising at a distance were the snowy
ranges of the Himalaya Mountains,
many of them as much as $4,000 feet
above the sea level. To quote the
words of the traveller Vigne: '.Softness

From The Baltimore American.
A good story Of Judge Bond, OF the
United States District Court, is told by
one of his Western friends. 1t occur
red IN Boston in 1877. The two went
to call on a medium. They were shown
many wonders, and at last the Judge
was told to write list of names on 9
slip of paper, which being done, he was
instructed to run his finger down the
list and stop when the accustomed rap
on the table was heard. When he got
to the middle of the list violent blow
was struck upon the table. Thereupon
long conversation ensued between the
Judge and the materialized spirit, in
which were rehearsed many astonishing
facts (most of which the Judge had in
geniously managed to drop in the OPEN
ing of the conversation with the medi-
um). Finally, the exhibitor suspected
something, and the spirit" abruptly
departed.
Then the Judge fell into a brown
study, from which it was difficult to
arouse him. Suddenly looking up he

tone of establishment and convic ton
"This is the most remarkable thing I
ever dreamed Of. almost doubt the
power of Omnipotence to equal it."
"Ah," says the medium, II can show
you greater things than that" Fur
Their conversation ensued in a similar
strain, when Judge Bond burst out
with: "But tell you, sir, L challenge
the Almighty to do such a thing. Why,
sir, can you believe it? I left that gen
tleman not twenty minutes ago on the
steps of the Parker Housep At this
the medium became naturally furious
and exclaimed: II told you to write
the names of the dead men on that
list" NO." replied Judge Bond, with
4 look Of childlike simplicity, "you did
not; you told me to write the names of
friends, and did so. There isn't the
lame Of a single dead man on that
ist." 1t is needless to add that the
Judge and his friend departed without
ceremony.

THE CAPTIVE BIG BEAR.
An Ugly. Dirty. Savage With M
Romance About Him.
Cor. of Toronto clone.

/
The capture of Big Bear and the council
lOrs who shared the personal fortunes of the
flying monarch was very tame affair.
Sergt. Smart and eleven mounted police
men, who were on duty at the Carlton
ferry, were informed by Mr.. Carson, who
had been in charge of the Hudson Bay COM
pany'S store at Carlton before its deStrue-
ton, and for several weeks had been camped
.On the north side of the river, that Big
Bear had come to his (Garson's) camp, and
was then on an island near the ferry.
Sergt. Smart and his men easily effected
passage thither. and the chief, with eleven
of his men, were at once disarmed and made
prisoners. They did not offer the slightest
resistance, and were badly frightened. Big
Bear, who is a 60-year-old coward, was
especially funky, and hurriedly disavowed
his participation in the Frog Lake massacre,
saying the whites there were killed against
his wishes by young men whom he could
not control. Without much delay Smart
took his prisoners to Prince Albert, where
Supt GagnOn of the mounted police had
been left in charge by Col. Irvine. To Gag
non Big Bear said he was making for the
United States, and was desirous of getting
there that he might make peace without
being pursued by troops. The correspond
ents found the old man prisoner in the log
prison near the Hudson Bay store, his son
Is years old, and one of his councillors

cumber being the aggregate of Gagnon's,

hresented as far as possible removed from
phat of his fellow-chief, Poundmaker, when
tn similar circumstances. With William
mckay of Battle Ford as interpreter Gen.
Middleton had an interview with the pris-
oner. Middleton appears to much adv an
tage in talks of this sort. He doesn't sh axe
hands with the criminal. nor encourage him
to deliver meaningless rhodomontade. He
asked him his name, and then why he had
stayed on the warpath so long, To this
the Big Bear replied that he did not know
the whites wanted to make peace. Asked
why he kept the McLeans and other prison
ers so long. Big Bear replied that they were
not prisoners, but had Joined his people of
their own will and he had saved their lives.
Big Bear will be sent to Regina for trial,
and the capital of the Northwest territory
promises to become very Dublin in its
judicial importance-criminal jurisprudence
entirely.
