Through Without Changing Cars

Through Without Changing Cars.
The regular transfer of all trains,
both passenger and freight, across
the Mississippi river by the Queen &
Crescent railroad, commenced yester-
day. The east bound passenger from
Shreveport to Meridian arrived at the
". & NJ. depot about l pm, consist
ing of coaches 438 and 443 and a COM
bination mail and express a 4l6.
The west bound passenger went down
to the incline at lao pm. and was
ira nsferred to the Louisiana shore
safely and withoutEdelay. Quite num-
Der of freight cars, going both ways
was also handled successfully. The
management should so arrange the
schedule that passengers could have
an opportunity to get meals; every
body does not have elegant palace

dents and superintendent.

Tn T.ife's Decline

Infrmities beset us to which our youth and ma
turity were strangers. Weakness Of the loins,
rheumatic ailments, dyspepsia, loss OF appetite
and undniet sleep, are among these. AS a
means Of counteracting the iniirmities OF age,
H0stetter's Stomach Bitters is unrivalled. IL
ouickens and enriches the sluggish and impov-
and Youthful relish for the food, and enables
the stomach TO digest it. 1t sOothes and invig-
crates the nervous system and checks a ten
Ieney TO rheumatism. It's Quieting action upon
the great sympathetic nerve, which connects
the stomach with the brain, results in the speedy
TanaTtmre If the restlessness by night and dis
Suietude by day, which are the reflected mani;
festations Of dyspepsia. 1t is a most eifectual
antidote to the poison of malaria, gives a health
5uI impetus to the action of the kidneys and

fJogindra Nath Bose In Times Democratl
Nowadays few educated young Indians
are seen to accept Christianity. Since the
year 1854, when Hindoo Theism acquired q
new strength from the accession Of the late
celebrated Keshuh Chunder Sen into Its
ranks christianity has been losing all
charm for the educated Indians. The mis-
sionaries are busy preaching the doctrines
Of christianity all over India, but few ex-
cept poor and illiterate men are seen to be
caught by their words The native chris
tians of India belong mostly to the lower
classes, who are perfectly incapable Of COM
pretending the highly philosophical doc.
trines Of christianity, and who have &C.
copied IL for some earthly benefit rather
than for the salvation Of their souls
Many OF your readers have no doubt
heard Of the Theosophical society. and Of its
leaders. Mime. Blavatsky and Col II. s.
Olcott, both Of whom are, / believe, well
known In America. The chief object Of the
association Is tho cultivation of what Is
called @Occult Science" Now, the ancient
Hndus had perfect system Of this science,
on which Sanscrit works are still eItant
The Theosophical society breaches the
reasonablensss and truth Of the Hindu sys.
tenn Of occult science, and has therefore,
succeeded In obtaining q large number Of
adberents In all parts of India
The parent society Is established In the
City Of Madras i'm southern India, while
there are numerous branches scattered all
over this peninsula The total number OF
the members must not be less than 4, 00O
or 5000 people-almost all natives OF the

and pay the utmost respect to the leaders,
especially to Mime. Blavatsky. The sight Of
o European lady and an American gentle
man expounding the merits of the Hindu sys-
tenn Of occult science Is unique, and has,
therefore, excited the greatest interest
throughout the country. The leaders Of the
society profess to be Buddhists in their re.
ligious principles. and are found frequently
TO expatiate on the superiority Of the re-
ligion OF Buddba- They also accept some
Hindu doctrines, such as that OF the trans
migration Of human souls. They have an
organ of their own, which Is called The
Theosophist 1t is a monthly journal, which
Is largely subscribed to In India by the men,
bers of the association and the general
public.
The Theosophical society has done one
great good In India-it has turned the at
tention of many an educated Indian to the
treasures which the literature of their
great ancestors contain. English educated
Indian youths have teen in the habit of
condsmning everything Hindu as unscien-
titic or super stitious, or worthless, and the
Theosophical society has been doing much
to cure the Indian youth OF this wrong
habit, and in this work / wish the society
all success
