Trouble in India.

Bombay, June IA dispatch re-
ceived here from Simla, the residence
of the Indian government officials
during the heated periods of the year,
announces serious trouble on the
northern frontier and the massacre Of
a number of British officers and native
soldiers in the government employ.
From the particulars obtainab1e at
present it seems that two guns be-
longing to a Bombay mounted battery,
escorted by 300 men belonging to the
First regiment of Sikhas and the First
Punjab infantry, were treacherously
attacked in the Tochi valley by a large
force of hostile natives. The first re-
port said that Col. Bunny, two officers
and 25 privates had been killed and
that three officers and IS men had been
wounded. In addition, a number Of
mules and horses are reported killed.
Indications are that the affair is more
than q mere conflict with warlike ma
tiyes, and that the notorious mullah
of PoWindah IS at the bottom Of the
trouble 5S.5. Ss.s.}

says: At Tuesdays conference Of the

to persist in the retention Of Thessaly
given him by the sultan personally,
When the conference ended the sultan
summoned his ministers to a special

until two o'clock in the morning Of
Wednesday. The decision arrived at
was that the evacuation of Thessaly
was impossible, but that there was no
necessity to precipitate action. Being

.sLITERATURE.
The Diseases of Modern and the
Health of Classic styles.

l.
Modern literature has been more OF
less sentimental since Petrarch, NOR
bidly subjective strain has existed in
it since Rousseau, while of late quail
ity is beginning to appear which we
cannot better describe than as neurotic.
We simply say, to paraphrase an utter
ance Of Chamfort's, that the success OF
some ontemporary books is due to the
correspondent that exists between the
state of the authors nerves and the state
of the nerves of the public. Spiritual
dependency, which, under the name
of acedia, was accounted one of the
even deadly sins during the middle ages,
has come in these later days to be one
of the main resources Of literature. Life
itself has recently been defined by one
of the lights of the French deliquescent
school as ian epileptic fit between two
nothings."
It is no small resource to be able to
escape from these miasmatic exhala-
tons of contemporary literature into
the bracing atmosphere of the classics,
for of him who has caught the pro-
founder teachings Of Greek literature
we may say, IL the words Of the 'Imita-
ton" that he. is released from null
titude Of opinions. We may apply to
authors like Sophocles and Plato and to
those who have penetrated their deeper
meaning the language the Buddhists
used to describe their perfect sage
which will at once remind the
scholar OF the beginning of the second
book of Lucretius:: when the learned
man has driven away vanity by earnest
ness, he, the wise, climbing the ter-
raced heights Of wisdom, looks down
upon the fools. Serene he looks upon
the toiling crowd, as one that stands.
upon mountain looks down on them
that stand upon the plain. "a tlantic.
