BRAHMIN A Contribution by tli Hindoo Io-tor Con taining Copious Kx tracts 1 roni a Little Volume hy the Same Author. I am a foreigner by birth, educated in the oldest, the greatest and grandest civilization of East India, the cradle of the civilization of the earth. The peo ple of this country do not understand the civilization of India, except a ew college bred men. L' wen ty-four years ago, educated in my country as a preacher and doctor. Alter embracing the Christ ian religion, I went, to Kurope, thence to Canada and to the United States, and devoted some years in the best colleges in America, as a Medical Missionary. There are these principal professional studies in the world, viz., theological, legal and medical, bir. a doctor has the hardest life in the world. lie has to combat the various dread ful diseases of the human life, when ever the patient is sick he depends up on thi doctor, and the doctor must de vote himself honestly, to raise that pa tient, it is his sacred du y and honor. I practiced medicine mostly in a large cities. There are three regular medical schools l1 this country, viz., allopathic, homeopathic, and eclectic. I belong to the eclectic system of this country. India has been a land of mystery 1 1 om the earliest times. From the i lost ancient days we hear of India as the most populous nation of the world, full of barbaric wealth, and strange wisdom. King Asoka, the grandson o. Chandra gupta, reigned from 2Ö'J to lG'J 1. C, Chandragupta was a contemporary of Alexander, and according to the Hel lenic, 1 mean (Ireek, historians, Chan dragapta became king of India, 315 15. C. It has attracted conquerors and has been over run by the armies of -?emi-rimis, Darius, Alexander, by Mahormned, Tamerlin?, Nather-Shaw, Akober, Aur ingjob, by Lord Clive, and Duke of Willmington. These conquerors from the Assyrian Queen to the liritish, East India company, have ver run and plundered ancient India. If we study comparative Philology we know that the Aryan (noble) family woo 'livided into two branches, the Northwestern and Southeastern. The former marched to want the home of the setting tun, till they had reached that small peninsula, which we now call Europe. The'latter, the South-eastern branch, set out to dis cover the home of the rising sun, till they reached their earthly paradise, in the alleys of the land of the Ten jab, and further still, along the shores of the Oanges and Jamina, "The Lord of the world." The linguistics tell us the Hindoo European family was divided into seven branches, viz.." Hindoos, Persians, Greeks and I tomans, who all emigrated to the south from the original ancestral home, the Celts, the Teutonics, the Slavomic, who entered Europe on the north of the Caucasis and the Caspian sea. These seven branches were oii ginally one, that they must have emi grate . from a region of Central Asia, at the east of Caspian saa northwest of India. They were originally a pastoral shepherd race and gradually changed their habits as they descended from those great plains into the valleys of the Indus and Euphartes. The first emigration of mankind took place before the confusion of tongues at Habel, from the region of Ararat, where the ark rested at the time the earth became almost dry; and either Noah or some descendant of Shem led the people into the western parts of India, and this increasing colony nourished intellectually, morally, social ly and spiritually, practicing the pure monostheistie (Monos, one; Theos, God.) rites of patriarchal religion, without images and temples, till at length the descendants of Ham invaded and con quered India and corrupted the most pre-eminent religion of the Hindoos. The eleventh century befoie the time of Alexander, they (the Hindoos) ar rived in India. The venerable Hindoos have sacred books of great antiquity, and a rich, sublime literature extending far back twenty or thirty centuries; yet no one has any definite idea of it all. Hindoo religion is professed by more than half of the human race. The doc trines of "Veda" are acknowledged all over India, even in European countries. The word" Veda" means in the Sanskrit "devine;" in Latin, "Video," I see; in Greek, "Idow," I know. The schools of India were divided into three parts, namely: Xyaya philosophy; Sage Gauthma, founder of the lluddhism; Sankhya philosophy, founder of the lJrahniaiiism, by Sage Kapela; Ve danthe philosophy, the Sige liardayana. These sacred books or bibles were written by these holy apostles 1280 before Christ. There are live grandest religions of the world, imnely: Urahmanism, Huddhism, Mohammedanism, J udeaisni and Christianity. According to the Hindoo religion there are three perons of the God-head, like the Chritian re ligion, viz.: Jitahma, Vishnu and Siva, the trinity. They are equal in power, glory, majesty ami dominion. The Urahtna, the Great Jleing, is the first cause, supreme, eternal, uncreated God. Urahma, the first created being, by whom he made and governed the world is the prince of th j beneficent ' spirits. He is assisted by Vishnu, the great preserver of men, who several tunes appeared upon the earth and un der a human form. For the most beneficent purposes Vishnu is often styled like Chreshn.i, the Indian A polk. The Siva is the destroyer. This trinity, or belief, was promul gated in India 1500 years before the birth of Plato. In the Indian mytho logy the incarnation of Vishnu has been innumerable; but in Visnnus particu larly distinguished. First was in a form of a fish; second, of a tor oise; third, in that of a boar; fourth, in that of a monster half man and half lion; the fifth, that of a dwarf; the sixth as the sun of Samadagne. All these took place in the Sathayoga, or golden age. The eaily sacred "Vedas" were written in the sacred language cf India, called the Sanskrit Many American scholars are not acquainted with the wonderful lan uage of India. We will illustrate a few words of our relationship. In Sanskrit, deva means God; in Latin, deus; in Gre'k, theos. "One touch of n ature makes the wh Ie world kin. The father, mother, an i kin beside of kin allied; related by birth or marriage, of the same race or blood. The bride-grooms doors are open wide and I am next of kin." There are sublime teachings in the Hindoo philosophy, even with regard to moral character and family devotion. This doctrine teaches that degeneraie spirits fallen from their original rectitude, migrate through various spher.s in the bodies of dilferent animals. Hindoo philosophy teaches us that man is a lallen creature. There was a Greek philosopher by the name of Pythagoras who went to India in order to study the wisoDm of the men of the East. The temples of divine worship in India are magnificent and sublime. There religions rites are pompous and splendid. Tadaypaly Vi:i::ai:a;aya Hoy. A PLEASANT HOUR. The Presence of J'. II. Stacy Yesterday Drew a I.arjje Audience. Friday afternoon a large .'number of people interested in the Y. M. C. A., woik in Plymouth met at the pleasant rooms of that association to listen to an address by -täte Secretary E. E. Stacy. 'wing to the shortness of the time, no regular line of thought was taken up. The only question of importance that arose, was how to push the work of se curing sufficient funds to insure the successful operation of the association for the ensuing year. Questions of im portance were asked by those present and intelligently answered by Mr. Stacy and Hon : Thayer. The executive board of the asso ciation are in earnest, and are extremely anxious to push the completion of the gymnasium and bath rooms. IJut it is surely known by our people that this cannot be done without money. It will no doubt cost in the immediate neigh borhood of SI, 200 ti SI, 100 to do this important matter justice, and it should be borne in mind by our business men that the greater portion of this money must be subscribed by them. It is of the utmost importance that this necessary ingredient be forth coming; and our people should not wait for the finance committee to hunt them out, but show their appreciation of the good work that is under headway for the benefit of the young men of Plym outh, and come to the front and donate a handsome sum toward this commend able enterprise. Discovered in Time. Last Saturday evening at about 4 o'clock, the barn of Alfred Huff, about seven miles south of this city, was dis covered to be on fire. Mr. Huff and his hired man were hauling corn fodder from the fields to his barn and he had just opened the barn door to drive in when smoke was plainly seen and they immediately carried water and extin guished the fire, wfiich had been started by some one rapping some old rags in a bunch and placing them under a sill. A hole about two feet square was burned in the barn lloor, and in a lew moments the large structure would have been a mass of llame, only for the timely dis covery. They cannot account for the deed. A Dangerous I'lay thing. One day lat week the three and four year old boys of Moses Lauer, while playing about the house, accidentally spied a revolver which was placed in one of the drawers of a commode and immediately took possession of the same and were sitting on the lloor play ing with it. IJut for the timely ar rival of their mamma, there would probably have been a serious accident. Lacerated Aim. While operating a rip saw at the novelty works last Saturday John Urittleham was struck by a splinter and badly, but not seriously, hurt. His arm was badly lacerated and the bone was fractured but not broken. Knocke! .Senseless. Friday evening about live o'clock while William (Jualls was trying to re move an obstruction, which had been thrown on thetelephone exchange wires just l ack tf their office. His feet lost the Id in some manner, letting him fall . t.ance of over -1 feet, knocking him ;K.?less. lie was immediately taken t" ' e exchange ollice before he regain ."i consciousness. Dr. Knott was called and d:scoveied that Mr. Quails was not seriously hu-t, other than a j sprain and a ligament being broken in the 4huie. lie will be able to be about m a few days. It II II U-(il'()UHl. The publication by the 1nii:ii:niknt last Saturday of the fpet that there was a lloaMng rumor current to the e fleet that one of the saloons had been open in violation of law the Sunday before started Marshal Myers on a merry chase in search of its cause. Mr. Meyer has, in consequence, been engaged this week in special self appointed detective work and yesterday had the satisfaction to report that the rumor was groundless and without foundation. The result of this investigation was just as Mr. Myers thought it would be for he did not believe there cou:d have been a crowd of cigarette smokers, billiard players and card players in any saloon where all curtains and screens have been removed from the windows as directed by the Nicholson law with out being seen and he was certain that all screens in all the saloons in this city : had been lawfully disposed of on that particular Sunday. Furthermore this was a matter in which Mr. Myers was particularly interested for the odium of negligence would have fallen upon hini i had the rumor been well founded. On Sundays one of Mr. Myer's special duties is to guard the people of this municipality against infractions of the Nicholson law and see that the dignity of the state as involved in that law shall be preserved inviolate. With that special duty and the unpleasant infer ence? to be drawn from a rumor imply ing that that duty had been neglected weighing heavily upon him we are glad that Mr. Myers has run the canard to the ground with so much satisfaction to all concerned. It is gratifying also to know tiiat where lawlessness was implied there were only the conditions of peace and good order. Ir. Hoy's Lectures. The announcement of the lectures at the U. II. church Sunday morning and evening by the Hindoo, Dr. Hoy, drew crowded houses both morning and evening. The doctor, thoroughly un derstands his subjects, but the trouble in handling the English language makes the understanding of the entire sentences difficult. The congregation last evening was forcibly struck by his numerous description of the difference between the United State and India in their marriage relations. I mproyed Appearance. The improved appearance of Kothen burger & Landis' market is gratifying to proprietors and customers alike. The re-painting and re-decorating from entry-way to ice chest have great ly changed the general appearance of the entire market so that it is a real pleasure to go there on a marketing ex pedition. This firm is to be congratu lated on its steady growth, both in facilities and patronage. Attention. There was a special review held by the K. O. T. M. Eriday night for the pur pose of balloting on seven candidates. After the balloting a general good time was had. Next Tuesday night we will have several candidates that will be given the work and there is several of the Argos Sir Knights to be here, also several Sir Knights from Tyner. Sir Knights, turn out and have one of the befct reviews of the year 18'JÖ. S11: Knkjiit Ciiatlix. An A 11011 vinous Letter. The Kecorder, Thomas Walker of this city, would like to know who the writer is of a postal card which he re ceived a few days ago, and which reads: "Mir. Tomes Wakeh, Plymes, ind. Mr. Fleas send that morgage it has bin thare long anuf to be recordet pleas send it, id like to com down when it can be joust the same." Noii-rarlisau Law. The state democratic committee, de cided at its meeting Wednesday last, to treat the Nicholson law as a non-partisan measure. While a large number of the party do not believe in the posi tion assumed by the committee, yet that body believes they have acted for the best interest of that party in the state of Indiana.

The proposition of the hin :ri:iKX r to give a crayon portrait free with every one year paid in advance subscription to theSKMi-W'KLKi.Y Ixin;ri:xiu:xThas proven to be a proposition that scoies of people have been wishing somebody would make. Theie is hardly a family in which there is not one picture or more that someone in the family has been flunking of having enlarged in crayon.

Ti.e process of revising the ordinances of this city has dragged itself wearily along over many weeks and last night the legislative functions of the council were rendered inoperative on account of the failure of kthat body to muster a quorum. Tne meeting last night, as have beer, a number of preceeding meetings, was appointed for the purpose of contin uing tne revision of the city ordinances, and the failure to secure a quorum was but one of many annoyances that have attended these special and other meet ings for some time past. It is not usual to fail in getting enough members 01 the municipal legislative body together frr the transactian of business, but the thing that has most persistently ruffled the good temper of the faithful has been the repeated and almost habitual tardiness of members that came in late. To have members come straggling in from the hour set to thirty, forty-five or sixty minutes later is a handicap to the smooth progression of business and in laboring for the people it is due the people that councilmen should report for duty at the hour set, the same as would be required by any private concern. It is the only way that the machinery of government can he made to run smoothly and without friction. "Keep oil' the Cirass." While our friend Endley, of the Walkerton Independent, has no beauti ful well kept lawn around his sanctum, yet lie has that which is of considerable benefit during this winter weather. In last week's issue he breaks forth thusly, (and, by the way, there, are some people in Plymouth, who, if this reaches their eye, should read it twice: 1 "To tlise who have been making themselves fresh with the Independent's wood-pile after dark, we wish to say that we received a nice dry load to-day, so that we can keep them supplied. It is good, hard body wood and we are confident that our neighborly friends will be well pleased with it.'' ltooks and Hilter. The law requires that the effects of alcohol on mind and body shall bo taught in all the common schools in the state. Teachers will lind a helpful treatise on that subject at the City Dook store of A. T. Hitters. Kochester Kepublican.
