YOUNG INDIA.
Characteristics Of the Anclicized Natives
of Calcutta.

CHARACTERISTICS of the Anclicized Natives
of Calcutta.
The Hindoo of Calcutta does not rep
resent an ancient tradition, for he is
but thing of yesterday, called into
being by the foreigner, and he repre-
sents an altogether novel phase OF
thought, which is gradually making
itself felt, and is the chief character
istic of what has been dubbed Young
India. Young India is the more or
less Europeanized Hindoo. The supple
mind Of the Bengalese could not long
remain impervious to the influence OF
daily contact with the European cast
of thought, and all Hindoos are more
or less affected by that contact. A
European education, the study of the
classics and of contemporaneous htera-
ture, of ancient and modern history,
and of the natural sciences, could not
fail to have results on every stratum
of society, and culture has filtered
down from the university to every
class, awaking aspirations and am
billions previously unknown. A new
society has sprung up, Of what may be
termed Anglicized Indians, which So
ciety, alas! is not always recruited
from the elite of the native popula-
ton; the higher castles, who cling to
their traditions and retain their pride
of race, are generally faithful to the
culture of the past. The masses who
make up Young India are not attached
to European civilization by any sense
- INT oil
curiosity, but in search of remuner-
ative appointments. To get one
of the inferior situations under
government which are open to
native baboos it is necessary to be able
to speak and write English, and every
one anxious to secure thirty rupees
month in some office rushes to the uni
versities and public schools. Three
hundred candidates for a place worth
some two pounds ten month! And
what becomes of the two hundred and
ninety-nine who fail and can no longer
live the simple natural life OF their
forefathers? They must die of hunger
or swell the ranks of the politicians,
and they choose the latter alternative
Proud of the superficial knowledge
they have acquired, and primed with
European catchworGs, the meaning of
which has long since faded away, they
form a huge unbiased mass uncom-
monty like the lower middle class Of
Europe-as noisy, as unreasonable, as
narrow-minded. and. in some rare in
stances, as disinterested as those with
which we are all familiar, with the
difference that the formulas they are
so proud of are borrowed from the ira
ditions of an exotic civilization, and
that for them there is a wider gulf
than ever between the letter and the
spirit. What they aim at is, in truth,
neither national independence nor
local autonomy under the English pro-
tectorate; it is simply acces: to the
higher administrative functions and
political domino ton over other castles,
with the English army at their backs

farming. OF course every good farmer
really knows a great deal of these
sciences, as the result of his own and
his ancestors experience, without learn
ing them from books or professors
But the present age is the age OF sys-
tenn and organization, and the farmer,
seeing what has often been accom-
plished by really expert knowledge OF
sciences connected with agriculture,
sensibly desires that his sons shall
know them.
How great a science the successful
practice of agriculture really IL, map
be gathered from the branches OF
knowledge in one great agricultural
school. These include, beside English
and mathematics, surface geology and
agricultural chemistry, illustrating the
qualities of soils and manures; ana
tomical and technical botany; physiol'
oey and anatomy, and veterinary medl'
cine and surgery as applied to domestic
animals: the principles of land survey
ing. leveling and practical mechanics
agricultural economy and geography;
and theoretical mechanics and ele-
ments of mechanism.
There is, indeed, no profession OF
trade which exacts so much OF a man,
or REQUIRES that his knowledge shall
lie along so many lines, as that OF the
farmer. That our farmers are well
aware of this is shown by the efforts
which they have already made or sane
toned toward general system of agri'
cultural education.
But some of them object to system
of education which they believe tends
to separate boys from the farm, rather
than to wed them to it; and which may
lead them to disdain putting their own
hands to the pillow when they have
learned to direct others how to do it.
If the agricultural college really
gives a young man distaste for farm
ing, or a preference for other occupa-
ton, or dislike for engaging person
ally in the work of the. farm, a grave
mistake has been made. The best ag-
ricultural schools are those which COM
bine actual teamwork with the proper
instruction. In such schools the term
of study extends over several years, in.
stead of two or three, and the instruc-
ton is in the hands of men who are
themselves not only educated but
trained agriculturists.
Most of the agricultural colleges and
scientific schools with agricultural de-
partments which receive aid through
the land grand act Of 1862 were not
intended to make farmers, but to ena'

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.
The Objection to 1t which Is Made by
Some Farmers

The objection to 1t which Is AaAs by
Some Farmers.
The United States is better provided,
SO far as number is concerned, with
colleges and advanced schools in which
agricultural science in some form is
taught, than any other country in the
world. We have now at least one
school in every state of the Union
which is aided, under the land grant
act of congress passed in 1862. with ap-
preparations from great fund created
to encourage schools of science and
agriculture. In by far the greater
number of these schools OF science. a
disrtnct speciality is made of instruction
in branches connected with agricul-
ture.
In several of the schools agricultural
education is not secondary and Incl
dental thing, but the chief purpose and
occupation Of the institution Both
the theory and practice of agriculture
are taught in them.
Other acts of congress hSve given aid
to agricultural experiment stations es-
tablished by the states, whose main
purpose is to make scientific investiga-
tions and experiments connected with
farming operations. The experine mt
stations are often connected with agri-
cultural or scientific schools, and be-
sides affording to farmers information
likely TO be directly valuable to them
in their work, they form part. in .
general way at least, of a system OF
agricultural education.
A great deal has been done in the
direction OF the scientific training OF
farmers in the past thirty years; but
the criticisms often expressed by
American farmers, in their gatherings.
indicate that many among them are
not satisfied with the present condition
of agricultural education.
1t is certainly generally agreed
among farmers that the successful ag-
riculturist at the present day needs a
scientific and practical education The

botaur lie at the rerv foundation OF

Grasping her suddenly in his arms he
kissed her again and again. Finally
she tore herself loose and fed, white
| with emotion.
Was she Mollie Flanders or was she
not? Lee was sure of it, but mistakes
Of identification do sometimes happen.
At any rate she acted as if innocent.
Sitting down, the woman wrote let
ter to her husband, telling him how she
had been insulted and demanding repa-
ration. This letter she sent by ma
tive to the neighboring village where
her husband was visiting.
That night the trader took advantage
of the moonlight to pursue his journey,
and. as fate would have it. he and the
letter reached the village and the mis-
sionary at the same time.
| The missionary was man OF sudden
and violent temper. He loved his wife
dearly, and the news of an insult to her
broke down all the barriers he had built
up by constant training. Urged by him
the chief of the village sent men TO
seize the trader. Surprised without
arms Lee was made a captive after a
| desperate struggle and was carried be-
tfore the chief and the missionary. The

A SOUTH AFRICAN TRAGEDY.

How An American Paid a Penalty FOR
kissing a MissiOnary's Wife.
The coast of southeast Africa is one
Of the most dangerous in the world.
Currents, constantly varying both In
direction and intensity, carry the navi-
gator far out of his course and often
land him upon some reef or sand bar.
The fact that the Robert Miller, from
London for Bombay, should have been
wrecked near the Bay of Port Natal
was, therefore, not strange. But what
was unusual was the great loss of life
that attended the wreck. Only one
man out of all those on board managed
to reach the shore in safety.
This man, Charles Lee. an American
by birth. but citizen of the world by
choice, belonged to that constantly
increasing class who prefer to spend
their lives wandering from cline to
cline, picking up an often precarious
livelihood, but seeing life in nearly
every phase. Lee had made lucky
strike in London, and was on his way
to India. He had taken passage in the
Robert Miller, hoping that the long
sea voyage would drive from his body
some lingering seeds OF fever picked
up in South America.
Flung BY the waves on the coast OF
Natal. with his money safe in water
proof belt. he changed his plans with
the readiness characteristic of his class
and resolved upon a trading trip into
the interior. Purchasing a wagon and
span of oxen and hiring two native
assistants he ''treeked" north into
Zululand. In his wagon he carried
numerous articles for trade with the
natives Among them, carefully con-
cealed under the wagon seat. he carried
ten kegs of powder, concealed because
the law forbid the sale of powder 70
natives
At the end of three months Lee con-
sidered that his trip had been sue
cessful one and decided toreturn home,
following another route to Natal One
morning he ''outspanned" at small
village where there was missionary

This substitution seemed to be accepted without

Inasmuch rs SgnOr Crispi happens to be one
Of the statesmen most seriously compromised
by the disgraccful bank scandals that brought
about the overthrow Of the GiOlltti Admins

in yesterdays dispatches that lie has been III
trusted with the task of forming new Cabinet
can hardly be regarded as constituting sails
factory settlement of the recent crisis at Rome.
1t must be admitted, however. that the Kings
choice was limited, since nearly every one OF
his most trusted advisers in the past, including
even Count Ratazzi, his Minister and Chief Of
the ROYAL Household, had been implicated In
what the Italians are in the habit Of describing
as their "PanaminO," or Little Panama"
Moreover ii was the most popular selection
lumbert could have made just now, since, ac-
cordng to Crispis own recently published
statements, his return to Office means the grad
ual withdrawal Of Italy from The Triple ALI
ance, and the adoption Of more cOncatory
policy toward France. II is only by policy OF
this kind that he can hope to save the country
from national bankruptcy, alleviate the wide
spread distress and economic depression, and
prevent the substitution Of republican form
of government for that Of King Humber
For Italy has never been so near becoming
a republic as during the last few weeks, the
people having at length realized that those who
are primarily responsible for their partcipa-
ton in the Triple Alliance and for the burden
of woe that the policy has entailed are King
Humbcrt, and particularly Queen Marguerite,
whose popularity has in consequence given way
to sentiments akin TO downright hatred among
the sorely stricken people. Queen Marguertcs
responsibility in this respec, has long been
known In the various diplomatic chnncccries
Of Europe, and has even been publicly referred

MONEY md BUSINESS.

The situation in business Is about as favorable
as could be anticipated. The distinct mendng in
manufactures which was noticed two weeks ago
has entirely vanished and the accumulation OF
idle money has reached the highest point ever
known $l99 7G6. O00 and gold begins to go abroad
to Europe. $500 900 having gone this week. With
such an astonishing accumulation most persons
view the possible departure of sundry millions
Of gold with equanimity. But there are others
who remember that millions which may now go
abroad cannot always be easily recovered
and that meanwhile there is left behind vast
supply Of egal-tender paper which Is now as
heretofore n source of some danger. How close
the connection Is between new tariff agitation and
exports Of goll the country may have another
chance to learn. az 1t had last November
The agitation for larger imports unavoidaby
means restricted domestic trade the dulness and
waiting in domestic trade mean great accumu-
lation of idle money and finally gold going out
because men are unable to see any present use
for 1t here.
The case might be somewhat different IT, In
spite OF the dulness In manufacturing, a large
railway traffic could be expected, for heavy earn
ings might then induce foreigners to invest their
surplus funds In American railroads. Instead
the decrease in earnings does not diminish but
was larger in the fourth week OF November
than in the third, and larger i'm the third than
any previous week Of the month THE Finan-
cial Chronicle makes the total decline on
lightweight railroads for the whole month GS7
per cent, and "Dun's Review" in its classified
ton of earnings, shows that for the second half
OF November the decrease In freight movement
was per cent. while for the first half 1t was
but GA per cent. The loss was especially large
in Western wheat-carryng roads, averaging
about 93 per cent. But II Is obvious that. with
railway traffic In such conditions as these re-
turns indicate. the market had fair reason for
declining 81 10 on the average for railway
stocks and 81 80 for trust stocks. and heavy
purchases Of American securities by foreigners
are not To be expected. that one cause OF
possible relief from depression is not at present
available 1t was more hopeful sign for rail-
ways that the Lehigh strike was declared OFT
on Wednesday, as II had seemed In some dan
ger Of spreading to other concerns but by itself
It was not OF great importance.
