COWBOY CHARACTERISTICS.
The Difference Between Cow Punchers
and Californians.

The Difference Between Cow Punchers
nnd Californians-
In tho east the cowboy beers n great
reputation rs q dead shot. Part of this
Is deserved, part is duo to romance.
But between the cowboy and the old
California miner there is great differ
cncc. The former Is more reckless
than tho miner ever was-especially
when he Is carrying u heavy load Of
liquor in addition to his six shooter
but 1t is doubtful If he has done as much
killing as the old miner. Tho latter
generally held off until he wns obliged
TO draw, and then he SOW to it that
every shot counted.
It is remarkable how nnny shots a
cowboy can waste without ever hitting
anything. a coroner might starve If he
depended on the hurdy-gurdy fights as
source OF income. Still many COWBOYS
are mighty handy with their weapons,
says the Chicago Herald. Among them
one will find about the same percentage
that went to be known as .'bnd mon"
rs can DO met with in any frontier COM
nunity. AS q rule the stockmen and
cowboys OF the west arc generous,
brave, law abiding lot Of citizens, ana
many never draw gun unless there
exists good reason for It Their pro-
miscnous shooting in the tough saloons
frcquented by the cowboys who happen
In town during "a roundup Is generally
good natured, wild fun, induced by i'm
billing too freely of poor quality Of
forty-rod- You see, tho cowboy
thoroughly enjoys show and noise.
Now with the miner it was different.
He had his claim and his belt Of gold
to protect, and he felt the rcsponsi-
bility of the charge. There was no
law to avengc any outrage, 80 in case
of any attempted infringcments on his
rights he was obliged to administer n
rcbulse in his own peculiar way, and it
was generally pretty effective.

CASTE in INDIA.
uindoo Travellers Who rero IndIscrect In
Their Associations.

uindoo Travellers Who wero IndIscrect In
Their Associations.
A "cause celebre" has just been coz
Guided in India, involving the purity OF
caste Of two young jams, who in the
Judgment of large number of their
fellows had contaminated themselves.
In 1850, says the New York Sun, Ma
hntta, the son of wealthy Jain Of
Nloorshcdabad, decided to visit Europe
with two Jain comrades At Bombay
some jams tried unsuccessfully to dis
suadc them. Soon after their start
their otfcnsc was alleged to have oc-
currcd-namcly, they lost caste by
taking European food with Europeans
On their return homo they found q
large section Of tho Jain community OPP
posed to their being rcadmitted to their
caste In the course of the dispute,
which seems to have split the jams Of
MoorsheIabad into two partics-one
Chutterput and some others published g
pamphlet setting out tho alleged enor-
mites of which the young men had
been guilty and arguing against their
publication and readnission to the
caste. Thercupon Chutterput and 9TH
ers were prosecuted for criminal libel,
and tho whole question at issue was
whether the religious or caste customs
of tho Jains had been violated by Ma
hatta and his friends or not The Judge
described the Jain community as one of
great antiquity, dating back to
or 0 A. D.. while their strictness
in regard to food, he said,
amounted to fannticism. Nahatta
himself said that he would object to
take rico at table where Europeans
ate meat, or 10 cat vegetables cooked
On served by Europeans or Moham-
mediums. He contcnded that while On
board the steamer he ate nothing but
vegetable food lin this he was corrob-
Grated by the captain) cooked in his
own utensils and on stove of his own.
lie avcrred that he took his own rice, on
which he lived between Bombay and
London, and that while In Europe he
lived on vegetable food cooked by him
self But the evidence aguinst tho
young man was pretty strong. While
in India they seem to have been
watched at railway observation-disclosures
and at hotels, and were seen to ees
eggs and other forbidden food; on
board the steamer it was proved they
ate at tho ordinary table, though they
did not partalSc of meat; and n waiter
at boarding house in Woburn place
gave evidence to tho Same effect as 70
their stay in London It appears that
after their return the relatives of the
young men. though not excluding them
from their houses, refused to eat
with them. and that subsequently ono
meeting of the jams exculpated them.
while another condemned thou, n
was also shown that resolution
signed by six hundred Jains was
passed, declaring the young men them
selves and all who should cat with them
outcast- The jury gave q verdict for
the defendants, on the grounds that the
statements in the pamphlet were made
honestly and with belief in their
truth, and that the defendants had suf-
ficient interest in the subject TO justify
them in publishing tho facts.

There is 4 prospect Of baseball war
in Roanoke. y large number of the
lovers of the gamo arc dissatisfied with
the way the present team is run, and
they are talking of organizing another
team. Wigmore, Beck and one or two
other members OF last years team are
in the city, but for some reason they
are not playing this year. The Roam
oke team, as it stands how, certainly
needs strcngthe ning and the manage
ment could not do better than to play
these old men, vino would undoubtedly
fill in the weak points. Beck is by far
the best base runner Roanoke has ever
had and he is also hard bitter, while
Nigmore fully demonstrated last year
what he can do. The Bedford City

is to be hoped that the home nine will
