Our Joyous Northern Neighbor.

The Frenchman of Canada remains
essentially an Old World product.
Centuries of life in the New World
have not transformed his nature. His
transplanting has modified his man.
ners, given him new interests, sur.
rounded him with new conditions, but
III spirit he remains what his ancestors
were when they came to New France
from Normandy in old France. He lie
the same cheerful, optimistic, pleas.
ure-loving being that they were. In
many respects he is as simple as a
child; in others he is as cunning and
as guileful as any small trader on the
earth. The French Canadian cannot
live in solitude; he must have society.
When his American neighbor in New
England has finished his work in the
fields or woods, and has done the
chores about the house and barns, he
gets himself into q brooding frame OF
mind, and reflects upon his mortgage
until the threatened return of interest
day drives him to his dark bed room.
When evening comes to the Canadian,
he leaves his plow in the furrow and
greets the stars with song that his
forefathers who fought with Fontensc
brought over from the land that their
descendant still calls "la belle France. "
Their tired women are never too tired
To dance in the midst of cares and
labors 80 heavy and severe that their
like has driven hundreds of thousands
of the habitants into the United States.
The old custom of visiting, of great
feasts on the day set apart by the
Church to the saint who is the patron
Nof the parish, and on the family ami
versaries, are kept up as they are at
home. Here as there the race is the
atrical; the dramatic effects of cos.
tune and of conduct are still dear to
the heart of this Frenceman who has
never seen France. and whose people
for generations were born in the som.
bre forests of Canada, while he has
spent life OF toll on the fields that
decline to yield fruitful harvest to
his untutored and inadequate cultiva.
tion. BY the light of blazing logs in
the humble cottage, he and his neigh
bors are happy and cheerful after a
manner and to degree that would
seem to the grave New Highlander
wicked levity and mad responsibility.

The CasteS OF India.

Up to the breaking out of the Sepoy
rebellion in India there were no less
than 226 different religious creeds in
that country, each having numerous
following. There we're no less than
thirty-two grades of caste, and the
lines were so rigidly drawn that it was
almost impossible for one to travel or
do business. Even in the ranks Of the
troops maintained by the East India
Company everything went by caste. II

enough to the campfire of a soldier of
the first caste to cast his shadow across
