vious to the Sepoy Mutiny.
st. Louis Star-Sayings.
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 q numerous
following. There were no less than
thlrty-two grades of caste, and the lines
were so rigidly drawn that it was almost
impossible for one to travel or do busi-
ness. Even in the ranks of the troops
maintained by the East India company
everything went by caste. Ii soldier
of second caste walked near enough to
the campfire Of a soldier OF the first
caste to cast his shadow across it, the
fire had to be put out and rebuilt on an
other spot.
Out of regiment numbering 800 men
not more than 100 could use the same
vessels for carrying water or cooking
food. Up to the same date it was eSti-
mated by English statistlcians that there
were 100000 professional thugs, 10000
professional strangers who USED the
hands alone, 100,0 900 professional poison
ers and at least 250.0O0 men who made
theft, robbery and murder by violence
their daily and only ayocatiOn. All but
the latter class travelled about as re-
ligious devotees and sheltered them
selves behind the mantle Of faith"
India was intensely religious, and yet
each and every creed was declared by
all others to be fraud and sham.
Every ruler, even down to the head
man of the village, had arbitrary pow
ers, but so long as murder and robbery
were perpetrated in the name of re-
ligion the authorities dared not inter
fere. The British were in India for
money. Previous to the mutiny they
were careful not to interfere with caste
or creed. II British official in town

Oh foot At Nagpoor. 500 miles east OF
Bombay, the number of deaths at the
hands of thugs, strangers, prisoners
and professional robbers during the
twelve months preceding the outbreak
was 1854, and yet not a single criminal
was brought to justice.
