MYSTERIOUS DISADVANTAGES.

Some five or six years ago the son of
the late rajah of Tanjore-a man some
40 or so years of age, and, of course,
the chief native parsonage in that part
of India-made lid his mind to become
a devotee. He one day told his friends
he was going on a railway journey,
sent off his servants and carriages
from the palace to the station, saying
he would follow, gave them the slip,
and has never been heard of since.
His friends went to the man who was
known to have been acting as his Guru,
who simply told them, You will never
find him" Supposing the G. o. M. or

To illustrate this subject, I may tell
the story Of Tilleinathan Swamy, who

chapter. TiHeinathan was wealthy
ship owner of high family. In 1850 he
devoted himself to religious exercises,
till 1855, when he became 'emancipat-

of the world, and so he wound up his
affairs, divided all his goods and money
among relatives and dependents, and
went off stark naked into the wood

to surrender all to him if he would only

OLD HUNTER KILLED BY TIGERS.
The Wounded Beast Charged Rescue
Party and Elephant.

fDehra Correspondent of Indian Paper
1t was my melancholy business to
record a fatal accident that has Just
happened to Nj. Charles Peach, an old
resident of Dehra, who for many years
was in the employ of the late Fred
erick Wilson. Mr.. Peach was staying
with that excellent sportsman, Rajah
Runbeer Singh at Kamsrau, in the
Eastern Dun. He was himself a keen
ana experienced shikari, and had got
up at o'clock in the morning to stalk
stays in the Der Beri Pass leading
over the Sewaliks. taking a single man
with him. About s a. m, while the
Rajah was fishing near camp, he was
mortified by the man rushing in to
say that his master had been seized
and mangled by a tiger.
The rajah Immediately ordered his
elephant and howdah, and after send
ing a hasty letter to Messrs. Arm
strong and Barlow, whose Bungalows
are a few miles off, to come up and
assist, set out for the scene, guided by
the servant who had brought the news
The mans story was incoherent, but
the substance of it was that he had
heard a tiger in the Rau, which his
master followed and then fired at twice.
There were a tiger and tigress to-
gether, but his master had selected The
tiger. The first shot crippled the tiger.
and Mr.. Peach then fired the second
and waited. Some time after, hearing
q noise, he raised himself, and the
tiger, catching sight of him, charged.
seized him, and dragged him about
twenty yards. The servant, according
10 his own account, then ran forward
and drove the tiger off, when Mr..
Feach told him TO run back to camp
about three miles Off and bring the
Rajah to his assistance.
when they arrived at the place
where the accident happened the man
seemed to have lost his bearings. and
while they were searching the ground
around, the mahout remarked some
broken bushes a few yards away on
the other side of the small ravine
which they were exploring. He had
just turned the elephants head to-
ward there, and away from the bank
under which they We're, when with a
roar the tiger charged out down the
bank and sprang upon the elephant.
digging its claws deeply into his
TANKS. Then a struggle took place
which was anything but pleasant for
tire occupants of the lhowdah, the ele-
phant not attempting to run, but
Stoutly endeavoring to kick the tiger
off. The Rajah had fired two faSty
shots as the tiger sprang out, but he
now had to do all he could to keep
from being thrown out of the howdah
AT length he managed to use his sec
oHd rifle with one hand, while he held
on with the other, to put bullet into
the tiger, which caused it to let go, and

Rajah put a second shot into the tig-

evidently have been killed on the spot

Wreck on III. L. 1 \. a. West raseageuIa.

Last Saturday as the North bound
local freight was leaving West
P~ascagoula, three miles west OF
Scranton, a car load OF spiles from the
CreOs0te works at that place ran OH
the track. Before the train, which
was going about five miles an hour,
could be brought to a standstill the
car struck the bridge over West Pas
cagO LA river and completely demol-
ished the west span OF same. Three
cars were thrown from the track, but
fortunately they landed on top of the
broken down bridge and did not get
into the water. The crew came on to
Scranton and reported the accident.
The wrecking train at Mobile was
wired for, which started Immediately
for the scene of the wreck, arrivii y
there about dark. Work was com
menced at ono clearing away the
debris and repairing the bridge. and
by Sunday night trains could pass in
safety. During Sunday the pas 'en
gers, mail, ETC., on the regular trains
were transferred by boat at the wreck
and the trains were only delayed a
few minutes.
We learn the bridge over West
Pa%scagOula river has not been in first
class condition for some time, and
perhaps it was a good thing the wreck
occurred at il did before IL passenger
train went through and some one was
hurt. Fortunately NJ n WAS in
jurcd in this accident.

NATIONAL FINANCE.

The monetary policy of our Govern
ment has, for a long time, been the
subject of criticism. and the cause OF
great dissatisfaction. The charges
being mainly that our financial sys-
TEN lacks elasticity that it cannot
be expanded to meet a large volume
OF business or contracted when there
is a plethoric supply OF money in the
banks. There have also been other
objections TO our financial system
more or less well founded.
AT the recent assembling OF Con-
greSs, Mr.. Carlisle, has, in his report
as Secretary Of the Treasury, recon-
mendcd a plan which he thinks will
ure the most Of the faults of our
present system. His recommendation
has the hearty endorsement of the
President. 1t has also been uhder
consideration by the Congressional
Committee on banking and currency,
Of which Mr.. Springer is chairman,
has been reported favorably, and an
early day set for its consideration.
From the present outlook it will
probably pass the House before the
Christmas holidays. The main pro-
visions of the bill based on the recon-
mendatiOn of Secretary Carlisle are,
that all laws providing for the deposit
Of United States bonds to secure the
circulation of bank issues shall be re-
pealed that all National banks shall
be authorized to issue circulating
notes, not exceeding seventy-ive per
cent. of their capital, provided they
deposit with the Government as a
guarantee fund United States legal
tender notes to the amount of thirty
per cent. Of the notes they desire to
issue. 1t also requires the payment
by each National bank of an annual
tax, say One-half of n per cent. Of
their issue as a safety fund, out Of
which to pay the circulating notes of
any failed bank. The present liability
of stockholders to the extent of their
stock is retained. The exemption of
State banks from taxation is also
contemplated under certain restric-
tiOnS.
1t is quite likely that the Carlisle
bill may be amended, as some dissat-
isfaction is expressed at the haste
with which it has been hurried
through the committee, and the short
time allowed for it's debate in the
House; all of which we agree is danger
Gus, but when we remember that we
have a Senate, and that it is a body.
which, like all great bodies, moves
slowly, we feel safe in the belief that
any measure important as this one is,
will be fully discussed. We have
faith both in Mr.. Carlisle as well as
some faith in the combined wisdom
of the two houses of Congress, and we
believe that the best thing possible
will be done under the circumstances.
