fore Justice A W. Alnier yesterday and

neighbours had q quarrel 10 which
he tried to use knife
upon her and said he
would be 6 single man before morning
Soon sitter hIs wife went home, and in &

The grosns OF the wife attracted passer-

head. dying jealousy WAS doubtless the
cause Of the deed.

balanced by tuft of white beard on his
chin, he stands impressiyely among bis asso.
eiates In the house. When he moves about
there is an appearance'of power in restraint
in his step and gestures. He would proba-
bly, be the quickest of all the members to at
tract attention by his personal appearance.
These men used to be very common in the
southern delegations, but there are few
enough now to make him conspicuous.
The latest insurance scheme is interesting,
but whether or not it will be popular remains
to be seen. A company has been formed in
New York to guarantee depositors In national
and State banks against loss in case they
come to grief in any way. It viii charge the
banks it guarantees quarter Of one per
cent. on their gross yearly deposits, and 1t is
said that many banks have already signifsd
their desire to be thus guaranteed. A rather
extraordinary feature of the plan Is the plao-
ing of O limit to the number of banks to be
insured in each place. The risk will be con-
fined to one bank in places whore national
and State banks do not exceed four and TO
one-fourth of all the banks In large places.
The company further ennouucea it's intention
of insuring no banks in New York because of
their large foreign or out. of-toWn correspond
ents There are three Thousand and forty-
nine national banks and one thousand four
hundred and thirteen State banks, and OF
these the new company proposes to guarantee
only about eleven hundred.

sleighing party. They performed an allegor-
| ical representation of Hindoo courtship
and subsequent marriage, with all the inci-
dents customary among peopls wounded by
Cupid's dart.
The serpeni-like elasticity of body which
allows these women to float, as it seems,
across the floor, and the graceful abandon
with which they enter the pantomimic delin-
cation of the play they are performing, must
be seen TO be appreciated, and language ep-
pears cold in q description. One Of them
wore around her neck rosary, and as It Is
supposed that women of this class are devoid
of all the pure attributes that distinguish
the gentler sex in all portions of the globe
to greater or lesser degree, it caused Won
derment among the foreign spectators and
investigation became necessary. The ROSARY
spoken of consisted of over one hundred
small wooden beads the size of a collar but
ton made of the holy basil, a low plant ga
cred to Sita, the wife of Rama.
We were told that this woman repeated
scores of prayers at morning, noon and even
ing, never less than seventy-five at any one
time, in a chanting, rnonotonous tone, which
became shrill and piercing at the end of each
prayer. the offer of ave golden dollars for
the article, whose intrinsic value was not
more than fifty cents, was scornfully refused,
and the old bag who supplied the music Inc
timated that sure destruction would befaIl
the dancers If the rosary was sold, lost or
stolen. This emblem of devotion was be-
ieved to contain the only redeeming quality
which would entitle the oastaway females to
claim of protection of the gods when their
race of life had been run
The home of the dancers was at Benares,
and they were at Bombay at the special de-
sire of high English oficiaI who had given
a company of European noblemen, then u
the city, an opportunity to see the Nautoh|
dancers, and We considered ourselves very
art, the more so as it was claimed that they
were the most proficient in India, and en-
joyed celebrity in that country equal to the
fame of any renowned dancer in Europe.
