with which ho is charged with transfer
ring to his own use came into his possesM

3ashier, and finally, in 1872, was induced
by the representations of Christopher
NTugent, of Nugent & Co., morocco
manufacturers, to extend his line of
3redit to the amount of $147,000. He

Inmates of Almshiouses.
There is a prevalent idea that the
almshouses, for the mo:,L part, shelter
the unhappy and guileless poor, whog~
unmerciful disaster has follIowed fast
and followed faster until it has chased
them into this last refuge---people who
have come from vine-covered cottages,
or tidy rooms up one flight of stairs in
tenement houses, with a big Bible on
the table and a pot of flowers in the
window ; or even from luxurious homes
desolated by commercial panics. As a
matter of fact, the great majority of
American indoor paupers belong to wvhat
are called the lower classes, and seek
the almshouse not because of commer
oial disaster, but because of very com
mon vices.

The inquiry showed that they belonged
to a set of Hindoo dissenters lately
founded in the Sumbulpore district, and
known as Kumbhupatias from Vio fact
that the followers wear ropes of bark
around their waiits.
They allege that their religion was re
vecled to sixty-four persons in 1661 by a
god incarnate, whom they style Aleknew
amy-that is, the Lord-whose attri
butes can not be described in writing.
They believe in the existence of the
300,000,000 of Hlindoo deities, but do
not respect their images, saying it is im
possible to represent a Suprene Being
whom no one has ever seen. They are
subdivided into three classes, two of
which renounce the world and make no
distinction of caste, while tho third lead
a family life. Their habits are said to
be very filthy, and, like some European
sects, they take no medicino in illness,
but rely solely on divino help. Their
attack on the Pooreo temple was
prompted by.tie belief that if the Jug
gernaut were burned it would convince
tile Hindoo of the futility of their relig
ion, and tile whole world would then
embrace the truth.--Calcutta Gacc.

conitest. Napoleon, having made his
combinations and despisinig thme un
