Driving Behiud oxen.

Nowhere else in the world is bullock
travelling so comfortable and so com
mon, probably, as in some parts of In
dia. The "bandy" is often fitted up
in very comfortable style, and though
the springs might be improved, the
comparatively slow pace Of the oxen
makes them less importan to ones
comfort. The patient little white oxen
trot along at a rate of three OF four
miles an hour, and, especially if it is
the evening, and the refulgent Indian
moon is shining down upon you; if the
nightingales are singing and the frag
rant jasamine is blooming in the
hedgerows, you think that India is not
so far removed from Paradise after all.
But after night Of such travel,
when you come out in the broad light
Of disillnsioning day upon a collection
Of filthy mud cabins, and see the naked
children, hungry and famished, the
gaunt specters of men and women
munehing the uncooked grain dealt out
to them by generous hands-in too
much of hurry even to cook the food
which they crave-you revise your
opinion and make up your mind that
India, in famine time, is nearer the
inferno than any other country in the
world. - Everybody's

Fully half the workingmen seen on

residents should be careful whom they
give free food and help.
There is no need for for these men
to be idle in Pendleton at this time OF
the year. Farmers are looking foI
harvest hands every day, but this idle
horde Of alleged workingmen is not
looking for work. Half Of them will
not work, except for a day, If given

them in remaining in idleness. True
one may turn a deserving man away
where so many are begging, but IL Il
wrong to encourage such wanton idle
ness and rule should be made in every
