THE THUGS OF INDIA.
They Murder and Rob with n Sense
of Professional Pride.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The Thugs are Hindoo race of pro-
fessional robbers and murderers, and
might correctly be termed the highway
men of India. A few years ago they
were very common in India; but, thanks
to the care and vigilance of the British
troops, their numbers have been greatly
reduced.
The Thugs have a horrible practice of
decoying some rich traveller to join their
party, and under a pretense of good-fel-
lowship, will sometimes travel with him
for a great distance, and will at a given
signal suddenly fall upon him and take
his life. The implement used for their
vile purpose is usually strip of cloth.
After robbing the body of everything
valuable to be found upon it, they bury
or hide it in some safe place of conceal
ment. Unless disturbed in their horrible
task, the corpse is never left exposed to
view.
They invariably travel In large COM
panies of 100 or more, two or three Of
their number being told off as decoys.
These decoys are generally chosen for
their innocent looks and smooth-spoken
manners Their duty is to go into
the neighborng towns and viii
lagos and appear as honest and respect
able travellers They then set 10 work to
form acquaintances with travellers, and
find out whether they possess valuables
or money, and in what direction they are
travelling. The Information thus gained
is made known to the gang, who make
their arrangements to suit.
The following OF this mode of life Is
evidently not the result simply of bru-
tai disposition TO commit murder The
Thugs are not a gang made up of all
sorts OF murder-loving ruffians collected
from all parts, but are a localised race
each member Of which is compelled by a
sort of destiny TO follow his ancestors
footsteps, the children being trained and
brought up TO the work from earliest
youth. They look upon this horrible call
ing as a regular trade or profession, and
the young Thug who shows special apti-
tude for the business becomes an OBJ
ject OF envy and admiration to the less
skillful members of the gang. II seems
almost incredible that a race OF men can
exist who make murder a regular profess
sion. But such a race are the Thugs;
their ghastly trade under the cloak OF a
kind OF superstitious religion.
The character of this extraordinary
race is most inconsistent. Though so re.
morselessly cruel that they are capable
OF destroying even those who have savel
them from prison and death, they some-
times show most kindly and generous
feeling. After numbering helpless
woman without pity or remorse, they
will bring up her infant child with the
great affection and fidelity TO members OF
their own race. The death OF o relative

President to Gar.

When President Faure of France
started for Russia on his visit he took
only four officers of the household and
five servants-a modest retinue. He
also took fourteen cases containing
Sevres as gifts for the car and czarina.

terpieces for the dinner table-one rep
resenting hunting scenes, the other the
triumph of Bacchus, six reproductions
of we'll known statues, two statuettes of
Catherine the great, two modern and
two ancient vases. a coffee service in
lemon colored porcelain, another in
egg shell china, a third in Chinese
style, two tea services and statuettes of
the Russian ;aiers and M. Faure The

Too Truc.

"Pshaw! You never come to the
point
The young girl seated at the table
seemed nettled at his remark. Her face
flushed, hut she restrained her anger
by biting her lip and giving sundry
vicious little digs with her foot at the
rig in front of her chair. Even the
casual observer would have said that
hey were lovers. There was look of
"0mplacent satisfaction on the face Of
he young man as he sat watching the
girl. 1t was an expression that comes
only to one when he realizes that the
object Of his love is wholly his own.
The careless Indifference of his tone
showed that he felt secure in her love,
and had no fear that an idle word
dropped in jest would precipitate any,
thing more serious than lovers quar-
rel-a mere tr:fe, which a honeyed
word and little caress at the proper
line would smooth over in a moment.
"Pshaw! You lever come to the
roint."
AS the young girl remained seated at
the table his words seemed to keep
ringing in her ears. While they had
fingered her, she had never attempted
&c contradict him. Indeed, as the mo-
ments passed on she had ample oppor-
tunity to reflect that what he said was
only too true.
1t was no wonder the impetuous
lover, as he sat impatiently watching
her, said that she never came to the
point. She was woman, and she was
trying to sharpen lead pencil.

The Wedding of the Adriatic.

Among the many splendid pageants
of gay old Venice in her days of pride
and glory as one of the worlds great
powers, the most striking was the
Wedding of the Adriatic, which was
celebrated annually on Ascension Day.
On those occasions the Doge, accom-
panied by a countless fleet of black
gondolas, sailed out in galley splen-
didly gilt and carved, called Bucentoro.
in which were the chief officers of state
and the representatives of foreign ma
tions. The Patriarch of Venice first
poured a quantity of holy water upon
the sea, and the Doge then dropped a
golden ring into the blue waters of the
Adriatic, with the words, 1--WE espouse
thee, o Sea, in token of real and per-
petual dominion over thee!"

MUSICAL STUDIES.
rhs Modern Musicians Would HSs
Work Hard.

There is nothing In musical history
more remarkable than the difference
between the training of the old mastesr
and that of the generation which SUI
ceeded them, says the Contemporary
Review. Haydn worked sixteen hours
day with Fux' Gradus and the son
atas Of Emanuel Bach; Mozart. the
quickest of pupils. was taken BY .
careful and exacting teacher through
the most rigorous course OF study that
the age permitted; Beethoven spent his
boyhood In almost over-stra!ned labor,
and at an age when many mon would
look upon their education as complete
set himself again to write themes for
Haydn and counterpoint exercises for
Acknowledgment. But Berl.oz, List,
Wagner, can hardly be described as ed
ucated musicians at all. No doubt the
first of them was technically at the
Paris Conservatorie. but of his connec-
ton with 1t the less said the better.
List, as young man, had little incNn-
alton to exchange the triumphs of the
virtuoso for the drudgery of the stu
dent. Wagner was given up as incor-
rigible by two masters.and by the third
sent out as a finished composer after
six months. And even the musicians
OF this period who stand nearer to the
classical line-such as, SchumaEn aud
Chopin-are affected in some degree by
the want OF balance AMI completeness
In their musical training. In their
student days they were brought up on
Bach's well tempered clavier." but
they knew little of his choral work,
certainly not the Passion music or the
B minor mass; they heard some MOI
art and Haydn, but little of Beethoven.
and of Schubert virtually nothing; they
were taught how to write q fugus, but
not how to write sonata or SYM
phony. No doubt Schuman discovered
for himself great deal more than he
ever learned from Kuntzach; there is
the famous story of his training his
hand for chamber music by shutting
himself up with all Beethover's quar-
tets" but this is very different thing
from studying The great model at the
proper time and under the proper in
fluences. And Chopin, a few years be-
fore his death, had never heard of the
F minor-the most Beethovenish Of
them ALL" as Mendelssohn called it
and had to send round to music shop
in order to procure copy. Imagine
poet of the present day who should
take his friends advice and order
Leah" or Hamlet" from the circulat-
ing library.
