more serious, but 1t is not believed here
that they have a large supply of the am

A Controversy in India.

A controversy has been going on
among the Parsees of India about the
advisability of having cemetery for
burying their dead instead of expos
ing them to be devoured by birds,
which is their ancient custom. The or
thodox are, of course, violently in ia
vor OF their old custom, and quote their
ancient law book, called the Vendidad.
which enjoins exposure, and forbids
burial. The Vendidad is full of strange
precepts, which are entirely impracti-
cable in these days. The Parsees them
selves have ceased to be guided by it in
nearly every point, except this, the
disposal of the dead, and few others.
The dog, for instance, is treated in the
Vendidad on the same level with man,
and two whole chapters are devoted to
him. If a dog dies, his carcass. or,
rather, we should say, his corpse, is to
be disposed Of with the same elaborate
ritual as that of a man. II a man
kills his water dog, his punishment is
10000 stripes with the priestly whip.
Nay, it is. safer to kill a man than to
serve bad food,to a shepherds dog, for
the manslayer gets of with ninety
stripes, while the bad master Of the
dog is a great sinner and will receive
200 stripes.

A bow line was trailing over the side,
