Decline Of Thuggism.

The natives of India are clearly progressing
and the knowledge of science is taking the place
of brute force. For many years the authorities.
have been engaged In stamping out Thuggism
and although there can be little doubt that the
terrible sect still ply their vocation when an
opportunity offers, the power OF the ORGANIC
alton has long been broken: 1t is not, however,
altogether defunct, and 1t seems that the
remnants Of the band have called in science to
their aid. A short time since zamindar of
thePatiala state coming to Lahore in the train.
made the acquaintance OF two travellers who
tngratiated themselves In his favor, and ali
three put up In the sultan's seria at Lahore,
aud prevailed on the zemindar to accept some
sweetmeats from them. On the zemindar eat
Ing the sweetmeats he became insensible, and
on recovering consciousness found his friends
h ma gone, taking with them all his cash from
ms waist.beit. At any rate, it is satisfactory
that the Thugs have taken to rendering their
victims temporarily insensible instead OF
strangling them outright. The drug used i'm the
sE% rs1ss1, ats must be one unknown in the
any capable OF producing Instant and
sS09piese lnsensihility without, apparently, any
BAD alter effects. The secret when discOyered
may prove valuahte one, for it would seem
that such sweetmeats as these would prove =
pleasant substitute for ch loroform.
