The following day a messenger arrived from the Amis earnestly begging the Mis alon to return to the shelter of Kabul His Highnees, it appears, had sent off, the moment he heard of the anowatorm. But
the Pass having been crossed, it was decided to wait in Camp until the weather bleared
tin
and then to proceed, as the country on
Indian side is co
comparatively safe.
The Mission was thus enabled to reach India on the data expected.
During their stay in Kabul, the Mission was most hospitably entertained, the cold throughout the winter was intense, and very heavy snow lay in the city. The whole time froze hard, every night, but became soft and slushy in the hust of the sun during the day, making any movement so difficult that it would have been impos sible to have the return march very much Booner, even had negotiations been con cluded
It is understood that the results obtained are those announced by Lord Bath in the House of Lords, that is to say,
har a treaty been concluded with the present: Amir very similar to that which existed with his Highness Abdur Rahman.
The negotiations proceeded smonthly throughout and would have been completed even sooner but for the Amir's being laid up for six weeks with a bad attack of gout, His Highness was so anxious not to inter- 957
rupt the negotiations that he arranged to ace the Mission in the sleeping apartment where he was lying ll. But it was of course difficult to settle intricate points so quickly under these conditions as could have been done in Durbar. It was only after his Highness had recovered, thore fore, that the treaty was finally signed. The proceedings terminated with a great dinner in the house of SISTE Anasrullah Khah at which the Amir and all the prin- cipal nobles of the State were present, and the pro nga wore of the most cordial character.

According to the Friend of India, an ex- tmordinary care of murder came before the Sosalons Judge, Dacas, in March when three men were charged. The alleged facts. of the case are briefly as followA-
The sccnsed Lalmohon Mazumbar, Pro- sanne Mazumdar, and the murdered man, Anda Mondal, or
were the dis of the accused Sadhu Kala Chand.
Of the 23rd of Agrahayana, last, a girl in Talmohon's family fell ill of cholera, and the women of the family, having great faith in fadhu Kala Chand, implored him to save the girl. Kala Chand gave them assurance, saying 'No fear; mothers, I will kill Jama, there will be no death.
How Jams met his death and how the woman was treated was narrated by a wit- nes, Chandra Mohan Mazumdar, aged 17. It tould appear that the accused and An

Suddenly Prosanna caught hold of Ananda by the hair and threw him to the ground, face downwards. He then snatched a trident from the Sadhu, who was standing close by, and thrust it on Auanda's neck. others, including witness, fed to a hut short distance away. Soon after, Pro- sanm entered, followed by Ananda, who prostrated himself in front of the Sadhu. Lalmohen asked the latter. In this the time and Badhu, answering in the affirm-- ative Lalmohoo took Ananda by the hair, while Prosanna took up a knife, and as Ananda was lying on his face, Presanna, putting a foot on Ananda's back, lifted him slightly by the hair and thrust the knife in his throat, Lalmohon and Presanna then carried the body away.

Witness was also told to bring his aunt, which he did, and Lalmo- hon went to his own house, where alo lived Rajan Mazumdar, to whom Ananda was nagas (serf), and brought Rajani's wife and daughter and five other women. They were taken to the verandah and ordered to strip naked and salute the Sadhu. Being unwilling to do so, Prosanna and Lalmohon took their clothes sway by force, and Lalmohon's wife was treated in the same way, After they had saluted the Sadhu they all went away except I linohon's wife, his sister and a sick girl named Sails bala. Prosanna then began to make a torch with a quilt blanket (belonging to Lalmohon's wife) and other bodding tied to the end of a straight bamboo. was poured upon Some kerosene oil this torch and lighted. Frosanna ap- paars then to have endeavoured to set fire to Rajani Mazumdar's hut but un-.] successfully.

The Parsees have once more shown that exclusiveness and aloofness which forms one of their strongest points of similarity to the Jews, says The Friend of India. For some time prat the community had been agitated by the question whether proselytes 2181 from other creeds should or should not be admitted to the Zoroastrian faith. As long
ago aв 1903 a committee was appointed to inquire into the matter, and its report has just been submitted to a mooting held at Bombay. Expert opinion had arrived at the conclusion that there is nothing in the teaching of Zoroaster forbidding pro. selytism; but the Committee, notwith standing, decided that conversion to Zorons. trianism was inadvisable and disadvant-
of Sicily can only live in their own country in misery the best thing they can do la to leave it, and go elsewhere. For a thinly. populated country, like Australia, the adop. tion of the policy advocated by Mr Whelpley would mean stagnation, and eventual de- line. He is evidently one of the unfortun- ately increasing school who distrust the ability of people to manage their own affairs, and think that governments can manage them bettor. Happily, his scheme is impracticable, as the nations of the world are not likely to combine for any auch pur- pose. If it could be carried out it would be à distinctly retrograde step.

deed favours proselytism; but the trustees of the communal property have officially declared that only those who were born of Parsee parents would be admitted into the Parseo, fire-temples, towers of silence, etc. The step was applauded by the orthodox section, but the pro- gressive party declared that the trustees had roused the sleeping serpent and ap- peared to have sown the seeds of discord in the community.' The question was finally decided in the above-mentioned mesting which resolved that no professors of other faiths should be admitted into the Zoroastrian fold, because such admission would militate against the original unity and ancient traditions of the Parsee com- munity.

Millions of people from Europe have crossed the occans, and made their homes in North and South America, South Africa, Australia, and Now Zealand.
