How for that meeting was representa tive of the generat feeling of the whole cam munity is a subject which at opce evoked a #oglewhat heated controversy in the Bombay Prose it is hardly pass ble to doubt that some influential members of the race are not prepared to accept without demur the rules formulated by the assembly. The first reso

There is no saclusion behind the "pur- dah" for the Parsi lady, who is allowed practi- cally so much freedom of coming and going as her European sister and whose brilliantly. coloured, but always tasteful dress makes a charming patch of colour even in the bright news of a cloudless atmosphere and in streets
whose distinguishing characteristic is variety.
Want of female education, due to popular in l.ference and social custome, is the reproach of India general'y, but it is certainly not so with the Parsis. Nor is the influence of the Parsi Indy confined, as is the cause amongst Hindus nad Mahomedans, to the limits of the domestic circle. The tail which reports the
meeting on the subject af proselytism brings also a full report of an assembly of the influential Indian ladies of Bombay, called together to dis.
s the arrangements for welcoming the Prin. cess of Wales, when she visits Bombay next utumn. Though Parsi names are not the only impossible to avoid remarking that the policy, anes in the attendance roll, they predominate, whether or not it is generally accepted by the

The Brahmas, ever seeking to bring nuder his ows influence the aboriginal races, bas not hesitated, in order to obtain his ent), to adapt his dogma tą local circumstances or superstitions. Proselytism, by force, if necessary, was of the essense of
Islam, and modern Christianity equally seeks
to extend its limits, though the British Govern ment holds aloof from all interference in such matters. The Parais alone have set their faces sternly against the spread of that religion of which they are the sole surviving representa tives, and against the mingling of their blood with that of strangers of every class. *
A SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS KINO,
Amongst people who have little acquaintance with India it seems to be believed that the Parsi is of the name class as the Hindus and Mahomedans forming the great majority of the populations of the continent. It would be about equally true to as ert that a Hunga fan gipsy represented the nations and races of urope. It is nearly twelve centuries since the survivors of Zoroaster's di ciples sought refus on the coast of Western India from the storm of per- secution which burst upon them with the Arab conquest of their native Persia. In their new home they found prace. When the wave of Mahomedan conquest spread over India they were far removed from the first fury of its break, and were doubtless. confused by the new invaders with the general infidel popula tion, whose forcible conversion en masse was hardly 'dreamed of by the most bigoted- zealots. Of the position of the Parsia, in India one of their number writes that they,

He is separated from it by a line of demarcation far sharper than that which divides the Aryan from tha aboriginal, or even the Mahomedan from the Hinda. His ties to it are merely such as are based on long residence association, and a common Asiatic origin. With the exception: of a few thousands, in Persia, and the mer-

Their rich men bave worthily caployed their superfluity of wealth in the erection and endowment of hospitals, charitable institutions, schools, re- search Institutes, and in the alleviation of distress in every form amongst all classes. To them the British Government is specially indebted for the example of confidence in it which they have set to the country of their adoption. The professions of medicine and the law have been adorned by many eminent Farais, and it must not be forgotten that one of them represents a London constituency in
the House of Commons.
