The Widows Of. India.

Lady Dufferin's great plan for the
improvement of the condition Of wo.
men in India has met with the encour.
agement it deserves; but we are sadly
ignorant Of the real position of Hin,
doc woman. In India the Education
Committee state that there are twenty.
one million widows, and a large pro.
portion of these are children between
i've and fifteen. A Hindoo lady. heE
self emancipated from the bondage ol
her caste, has written to the Times o.
India in very forcible language on the
subject of enforced widowhood, and
painting in sadly true colors the terri
rible position which widow holds liz
1ndia-it is q positive stigma. The
sight Of one draws forth a curse from
the orthodox Hindoo, and she is de.
graded to coarse food and menial worh
in the household. A man may marry
many wives, and probably does; but {
woman, once widow, must remain Sc
all her life, be she a child Of tende.
years or woman Of sixty.-LOndo'

The Cities Of the World.

1t will hardly be thought that there
are not on the whole globe fifty cities
containing 100000 people; but such
is the fact, and any one may convince
himself OF it by consulting a geographic
cal dictionary. 1t would seem at first
that there must be at least 200 cities
OF 100000 population; but there is
not one-fourth OF the number. OF
these Great Britain has about 9;
France, 3; Italy, 4; Germany (proper),
5 or 6 China, some 9; India, 8 or 8,
and the United States, according to
the latest census, 8 or 10. It's some
what remarkable that country only
100 years old, should have as many
(if not more) large cities as the oldest
lands; but it is not improbable that,
before another century, we shall count
as large q number OF cities of 2OO,-
600 inhabitants as there are now
IN the whole world. New York
ars may look with a certain dis
lain upon towns OF that site, but
when they remember how few there
are, their disdain should be modified,
if not converted into respect. We are
all inclined to think that old and ia
nous capitals. like Cordova, Granada,
Cadiz, Florence Venice, Padua, Yer
ona, Bologna, Warsaw, Cracow, Ant
werp, Chen, Rotterdam, Leyden, Leip-
sic, must be very large, though they
really have no more than from TO-

is very little after all. It's millions
are not near SO numerous as it would
seem that they ought to be, and the
bulk Of these do not come within our
idea of civilization, any more than we
come within their idea oft. The more
we know of our small world, the more
insignificant it appears.
