Illustrate her own designs, as they we're
not yet within the cover of the woods,
where an attack might be safe. The
judge had considered this and the spot
was well chosen. A moment more the
woman hesitated, while her eye trav-
eled eagerly to the wood, but for an
instant only, when she began to de-
scend carefully from the carriage.
The judge watched her with only
careful concern for his paper apparent
in his attitude, but scarcely had her
feet touched the ground when with
terrific force he laid the whip across
the back of the astonished Juno. Mad
dened by the blow, she sprang like a
rocket into the air, and then dashed
wildly on, while a volley of oaths fol-
lowed by three pistol shots in rapid
succession revealed the fate which had
awaited him.

KENTUCKY'S NEW GOVERNOR.

Hon. William S. Taylor has been in
a%ugurated governor of Kentucky, thus
completing the republican victory and
assuring an administration which
should strengthen the party in the state
and make certain its electoral vote next
year for the republican presidential
candidates. While on the face of the
returns General Taylor's plurality was
small. there is no doubt that he re-
ceiyed a larger vote than the figures
show and that consequently the returns
do not accurately indicate the republi-
can strength. But however this may
be, the party ought to grow within the
next year. The course of the Goebel
democrats, in their inscriptions at
tempt to steal the election, must, it
would SEEM, lead thousands of fair
minded men who have affiliated with
the democracy to leave that party and
unite with the republicans. Many DEM
ocrats supported the republican candi-
date at the late election and 1t is to be
expected that most Of them will be ar
rayed on that side next year, when the

IN INDIA.
The One Thing Invlolable and Univer-
sal Is Caste,

one Ihing InVlolable and Univer-
sal Is Caste.
Hinduism is not a single religion. but
a huge encyclopedia of distinct and in
dependent worships; it is not a unity
either of thought or custom, but an
immense multiplicity of sects and their
observances, says the Contemporary
Review. 1t may be described as the
amalgam of all the religious ideas and
usages of all the Indian peoples
through all their past. To no two
classes in no two places is it exactly
he same thing. Its one permanent
and distinctive feature is it's social
order; where caste is Hinduism is;
where caste is not Hinduism will not
condescend to be. Grant this funda-
mental institution and it will be toler-
ant beyond the widest occidental
dream of federation. 1t spreads not by
the conversion of individuals, but of
tribes or peoples. Its unit is not the
person, but the family; for the indi-
Vidual 1t has no place, with him it can
do nothing and for him it does not
care; but the family, or the aggrega-
ton of families which we term caste,
is to it all in all. 1t is more by his
fulfillment of his domestic duties, his
fidelity in his paternal functions and
obligations, than by his ritual con
formity that a mans orthodoxy is
judged. Hinduism is neither a phi
losophy, nor a particular worship, nor
a belief, o any specific theology, but
simply caste. Of course caste may
carry with it most OF these other
things, but not in any uniform or au-
t~horitative shape. There are various
PHILOSOPHERS, but they are concerns of
the school; there are many worships,
but they are affairs of the temple or
the shrine; there are an infinity of be-
liefs, but they are conditioned by time
and place; there are a multitude of the
ologies, but they belong to the sect.
The one thing inviolable and universal
is caste; it fixes the lines within which
a man must walk, the customs he must
observe, the social laws he must obey,
the e by which he must earn his
living. 1t is at once ubiquitous and
invincible, has lived. amid the wars
and divisions of states, keeping the
people one while the kingdoms were a
multitude; 1t has continued and spread
in the face Of linguistic and racial diff
ferences and has thriven by means of
the agitations and controversies hat
have in Europe created heresies and
schisms. But the one thing caste will
not allow to be touched is the family;
its omnipotence lies in its power to
isolate the individual and to reduce
him to a condition of more absolute
helplessness than could ever be expe-
rienced by any solitary in solitude
the helplessness of living in a teeming
world which has no place for him, and
where he is known Of nc man. This is
a power which may grow, but which
could not be made; which the CONVEX
sion of individuals may do more to
confirm and define than to change;
and which can be dissolved only by a
process as gradual and as memorable
as the process which formed 1t.

for any more active service, and which
he now felt offered small chances
against the cold muzzle of a revolver
which might at any moment be pre-
sented. His grasp frightened on this,
his only weapon, as he saw the woods
through which they must pass growing
nearer and neare AS yet no plan
which had presented itself had seemed
entirely feasible, but he realized thai
to delay longer might prove fatal. so
he prepared to carry out one which he
could only hope would rid him of so
suspicious a character. Should he fail
all further attempts he knew would be
useless, but he determined to make a
noble stand against the rascal, for he
was of too fiery a disposition to yield
tameless to his insolent demands.
With a deliberate air he took from
an inner pocket a notebook which he
proceeded to examine leisurely. A mo-
ment later n cry of well feigned dismay
escaped him as a leaf fluttered from
his grasp and rested at some distance
on the road. Immediately bringing the
carriage to a standstill, he turned a
face expressive of great concern to his
companion.
Pardon me, madam. but will you be
kind enough to recover the paper for
me? 1t is of vital Importance, l as
sure you"
The woman hesltated, and regarded
him with evident suspicion. He quietly
waited for her to comply. with no trace
Of the uneasiness which he felt. AS she
continued to hesitate he turned and re-
peated his request.
1t was al anxious moment, while
each sought furtively to learn the 9TH

JUDGE LOWELL.

Judge Lowell chirruped cheerfully
and frightened the reins over Juno's
back. Pick up your heels faster han
this. miss" he said, addressing him
self to the pair of glossy chestnut ears
ahead, and remember. an extra meas
ure OF clover grass tonight if you
bring up at the Willows before sun
down"
The sound of her masters voice with
so fair a promise, for a time inspired
juno to renewed exertions, but the
long country road stretched like an
arid waste ahead, and before long her
efforts, which had been none of the
bravest, ceased altogether, and she re-
lapsed into her former easy gait. This
fragrant breach of good faith passed, as
that animal had sagely calculated, all
unnoticed by her master. who, re-
turning home, was meditating upon
the events of the day, and paid no fur
Their heed to Juno's %slackened pace.
A voice. apparently at the judges
elbow, recalled him, and he leaned for
ward to see what was wanted, while
the opportunity was not lost upon
Juno, who had already halted with
cheerful alacrity, and now stood, a
dusty and perspiring statue.
A stood by the roadside, a
long linen cap completely envelop-
ing her figure. while on her head was
a bonnet of such size as to have gone
far toward cOncealing her features had
not that been e~ffectually done by a
thick veil. From beneath this a pair
of sharp eyes scrutinized him as she in
quired how far it might be to Wilton.
At his reply that it was some two
miles ahead she looked meaningly at
the empty seat beside him You
don't happen to be going that way
yourself, and could accommodate a
poor with a lift, eh?'
The judge hesitated, while he owned
to a feeling as disagreeable as it was
also unaccountable. 1t was not an I'M
common request, however, and, asham-
ed of his seeming rudeness, he politely
made way for her beside him. 1t was
then that he understood the feeling
that had influenced him, for as she
stepped in his keen eye detected that
that foot which she drew into the
buggy was incased in the stout leath-
ern boot of a man.
Though ordinarily most courageous,
for an instant he felt the blood turn
cold in his veins as he realized his
danger. What was to be done, how
ever; Juno had already started on, and
to frame an excuse now would prob
ably result only in arousing the sus-
picions of his unwelcome guest. Mean
while she remained silent, evidently
not caring to engage in conversation,
while the judge made no effort to do
so. Occasionally he perceived her re-
garding him furtively from behind the
folds of her thick veil, a fact which
did not tend to allay his suspicious.
1t was certainly an unpleasant posi-
ton in which he found himself. Well
known throughout the section as a
man of wealth, he now for the first
time realized to how many rogues this
fact might prove a temptation, and al
though that portion of the journey
which they were steadily approaching
lay through dense woods, he had never
before calculated the danger which
might arise. He was totally I'M
armed, save for his driving whip,
| which he carried more for the purpose
| of Ticking flies from Juno's back than
