V~icarious Offerings to Justice.

A student of life and manners in the
Punjab has been struck by the large pro.
portion of very old men in the Indian jails.
In the prison at Mooltan there were last
year II life prisoners whose total ages
were found to amount to more than LOO
years, two of them being patriarchs of
upward of 80. This remarkable fact is at
tributed partly to the great improvement
in the economy of Indian jails since the ex-
posure of their mismanagement some years
ago, but more directly to the prevalent
practice when a crime has been committed
of handing over the least useful member
of the family as a sort of ~vicarious offer
ing to justice.
On this point the inspector general of In
dian prisons observes that the confinement
which conviction entails is of course less
irksome to the aged than to the young.
Moreover" he continues, the people
know that Il specially comfortable place in
the shape of good food, ample clothing, a
special dietary, the lightest of work and a
society not entirely ~uncongenial awaits the
old man in our jails. A case has been cited
in which a man had been strangled. The
person to whom the crime, by his own con-
~fession, was brought home was a feeble old
fellow who had been paralyzed in both
arms for 20 years and could not lave COM
mitted the crime. But as his family all
said he did it, and as there were plenty of
"eyewitnesses," the old man went cheer
fully to Jail and lies there still.-London

The consequences of the scarcity Of do
nestle servants in Brazil. owing % the all,
clifton Of slavery, are described in the Brit.
lsh consular report from Rio Grandc dc
Sui. 1t appears that not l per cent of the
male or female servants will sleep in theii
masters house. They insist on leaving at
the latest by 7 o'clock in the evening and
will not return before Z or 8 in the morn.
ing. For this reason some houses have a
pane of glass in one of the windows taken
out through which the baker and milkmnu
pass their goods Oh their early morning
rounds without troubling a member of the
family to get up and open the door.
1t is said to be quite common for a good
cook to insist ON the family dining not
later than 5 O'Clock, in order that she NAV
be able to put the kitchen in order and 20
home early. If these or any other demands
are not granted, the servant leaves without
any notice, there being apparently no law
OF master and servant in Brazil. The
wages average e2 to E3 a month, with food.
and the servants, as a rule, purIoin enough
every night to provide Il supper at home.
These servants are all negroes or mulat-
toes and are nearly all freed slaves, but in
spite of all their drawbacks they are gen
orally preferred to white servants, who in
Brazil have nearly all worse failings than
the blacks.
