THE SEPOY REBELLION.
Causes Which Operated to Bring About
the Terrible Indian Mutiny.

Causes Which Operated to Bring About
the Terrible Indian Mutiny.
The causes which operated to bring
about the terrible Indian mutiny of 1857,
known as the Sepoy rebellion, were va
rious. The Princes who had been de-
prived of their powers by the East In
dian Company had been active in STIR
ring up general discomfort. The Brit
ish had raised and armed large native
force, which was drilled and commanded
by British officers. This force was COM
posed partly of Sepoys of Bengal, who
were by religion high caste Brahmins,
and partly Mohammedans, These
troops came in time to realize that
British power in the East largely de-
pended upon them for maintenance, and
therefore grew arrogant and displayed at
times a mutinous spirit. Good manage
ment on the part of the officers, howev-
er, for long time prevented an out
break, and besides, most bitter preju-
dice existed between the Mohammedans
and the Brahmin soldiers which pre-
vented their acting together. But it
was religious fanaticism that proved at
last the immediate cause of the trouble.
Early in 1857 Enfield rifles had been
substituted for the smooth-bore muslIets
of the native troops, 1t was
necessary, to secure accuracy
of aim with the new gun, to use
tightly-ftting cartridge, and this was
creased with lard that it might be more
easily rammed in. The manual Of arms
required that the soldier, in loading his
piece, should bite off the end of the
cartridge with his teeth. Now, to the
Brahmin and to the Mohammedan also,
the swine is an abomination. To touch
or taste the fat of this animal is defile
ment and sacrilege, and to the Brahmir
is total loss of caste as well. The de-
posed Princes had tried to stir up disaf
lection among the people by telling
them that the native religions were t.
be overthrown, the sacred institutions
of caste destroyed, and the people made
to adopt the faith of the invader The
introduction of the creased cartridge
seemed to be a confirmation of these
statements, and storm of mutiny broke
out. Although, as soon as the objection
to the creased cartridge became known
the native soldiers were allowed to pre-
pare lubricant in which there was nj
animal fat, nothing could stay the wav,
OF popular wrath. We can not tell YOU
how many of the Sepoys were put t.
death by being blown from the mouth
of cannon. According to some historian
large number were thus destroyed
The excuse given by the British 70
adopting this atrocious method was tina
the Sepoys care little for death, bu
were Mortified at the thought of mutila

Center of the United states.

Do you know the exact location of tho
center of the Union? Never thought
any thing about it probably. Well it is
marked by grave-that of Major
Ogden, Of the United States Army, who
died at Fort Riley, Kas., in 1855, during
the cholera epidemic of that year The
remains Of the Major were removed to
Fort Leavenwerth and buried in the
National Cemetery there, but his monu-
ment still stands upon little knoll to
the northeast of the fort-Fort Riley
and it lifts It's head towards the clouds
in the exact geographical center of the
United States. OF the thousands of
men who have been located at Fort
Riley during the past forty years, per-
haps not one in hundred knew or cared
anything about the oddity of his situa-
ton. The post is few miles east OF
Junction City, Kas., and was formerly
one of the most important in the United
States.-St Louis Republic.
