US; for there is young gentleman we

can never consent to.
why, look you, madam, y replied the
doctor, gravely, being among all his

Thc Contradlctorr nrahmin.

The brahmin Is bundle of extraordinary
contradictions. Witness him buying a Load
of wood from pariah. He halls the un-
fortunate creature, who, setting down his
burden, edges away while the brahmin ex-
amsnes it. The hrahmin then moves away.
The pariah approaches the wood, and with
his hand before his mouth, lest his breath
touch the person Of the august purchaser he
concludes the sale No pariah uses the pub
lie highway made by British money and un-
der British supervision while noble brahmin
passes. Brahmin youths are heset from their
birth with tedious restrictions; the dignity Of
their race and their own dignity is a theme
which never tires with their parents. Per-
haps their only luxury is thar of taking snuff,
and In this even the law interferes and laws
down a certain age when they may begin. to
bachelor this pleasure Is prohibited; snuff
taking can only begin with natrimony. san
