[Calcutta Cor. in Kansas City Journal.}
If you want to learn the language of abuae
•tody Hindostanee. You can say viler thing
in that language and calumniate more "nast
ily" as the English would say, (and the word
is unhesitatingly used by the most refined
lady) than in any other language that I know
of. Those who understand the language say
that it is impossible to find any translation
in English for the abominable ideas that are
commonly conveyed through this medium.
But the strange part of it is that the na
tives glory in indecent conversation. Re
member this, ye Americau women who are
thinking of coming here as missionaries, who
would not have the courage to endure all
things in the way of filthy conversation. One
Hindoo may approach another and say th«
most atrocious thing in a laughing way,
touching the character of the latter'a
mother, wife, sister or even grand-mother,
and the result will only be a mutual hearty
laugh and the filthier the remark, the
heartier will be the mutual laugh. Agaii
and again I have had interpreted to me thfe
jocular salutation of one native to another,
which wr uld have ended in bloodshed had
one foreigner dared to employ them in ad
dressing another foreigner, no matter with
how pleasant a face. These remarks are, as
a rule, so brutally obscene that one stops to
wonder how any native could ever sink to
such a depth of degradation as to find a ver
bal medium for the conveyance of such ideas.
Even the men at work paving streets,
loading ships, and moving burdens, who per
form their work with a song, employ the
foulest of words as they work, attacking in
concert the character of their nearest and
dearest relatives.
But this is not alL The abuse of relatives
begins in the home circle. As soon as a boy
is able to say half a dozen words, he is taught
by the father to heap opprobriums upon his
mother—all in a heathenish sort of humor—
and the mother laughs heartily, esteeming
the youngster an especially precious one if
he succeeds especially well in villifying her.
But once let a Mohammedan be called a "pig"
and the offense is not to be brooked. To a
Mohammedan the pig is an animal embody
ing all that is disgusting and vile—worthy
only of death, unfit to eat. Apply that epi
thet to him and he will surely retaliate with
blows, unless he is a servile, oowardly fel
low.

"I brought that clam," said the old oyster
man, fondly stroking the shell, "from Narra
gansettwith me last summer. You know
those Narragansett clams—you find 'em by
seein' their breathing holes in the sand.
They'll be ten feet below the hola. Then, to
get 'em, you have to dig. I dug a well for
that clam, and then I got her down at bed
rock. The old girl had her nose in it, tryin1
to burrow further, s'help me Bob. Thinks I,
you've cost me a pile of trouble I'll keep
you and feed you. I brought her back here
with me, and one day she was dumped in th«
cellar.
"We heard a deuce of a squalin' one night
just as the theatrical gang was comitf in
bout half-past U. Down-1 goes, and found
'Puss' on a broad grin with a rat's foot in
her mouth. The rat was jumpin' and squal
in' and playin' the devil's tattoo on the floor
with his tall. It was N. G. though—'PUBS'
had him. You see, the way that I explain it
is that 'Puss' had gaped in the night. The
rat smelt the raw meat and went for it.
Soon as 'PUBS' felt his teeth she got mad and
clamped on him. Well, now, you'd 'spose
that other clams would catch rats the same
way, but nary one that I set after that ever
«id—and I set a whole lot—'oept an ambi
tious Little Neck that was carried off by one
of the beasts. The other clams didn't have
'Puss's' spunk I 'spose. If you touch her she'll
«pit at you. Since that time she's caught 113
rata. She's pretty well eaten up, but she's
good to touch the second hundred yet Ain't
yon, 'PussP"
The old oysterman stroke the shell again
carelessly.
"Say, confound you, what did you leave
'Puss' in the barrel for!" he yelled. "Give
iter some corn meal and water."

Last Sunday one of the pastors of the little
village of Pownal was walking to church,
wheu he saw a man, with his coat off, dig
ging in his garden. The good man beheld with
grief and astonishment, and coming up to
the fence, began to recite in a solemn voice:
"Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
Six days a week thou shalt labor and do all
thy work
"See here," said the man in the gardes
looking up, "be you taUdn' to me?"
"Yes, my poor man, I am."
"Wal, you needn't worry abotst me theiL
