Hindoo Revolt and Communwn
in India.—A telegram from Bom-
bay reports the occurrence of an
agrarian Communist rising, or re-
volt, by the Hindoo peasantry of
the Poonah district. The disaf-
fected people refuse to pay their
rent. They have congregated to-
gether and proceeded to the com-
mission of overt acts against the
^s^riEfe.s. Several
houses have been plundered and
burned. The police have been en-
gaged with roving parties of the j
agitators, and succeeded in dis-
persing the bands at different
points of collision. That the mind
of the Anglo-Indian nativist pop-
ulation is deeply agitated, and
that it has been so during some
years p%sfc,.is patent to the world.
That distinguished soldier, Lord
Napier, of Magdala, has confessed
the fact officially, and warned the
government in Downing street of
the danger which attends its ex-
istence. Great Britain has to deal

RISK.
by tom caxtoiv.
t is a curious study, this Kis£
this daring in hilman nature. I
do not know that it is peculiarly
American, but there is certainly
more of this venturesomenes& in
the American nature than is |ej-;
hibited by people of other nations. |
Sometimes I have thought that it
was this risk and daring that
leads the different political parties,
more especially in rural districts,
to choose their officials fro^i
among those, who, so far as in-
terest in the comunity is con-
cerned, are strangers. :
It is not a chance occasion that
we see this here in the^South; we
see these'strangers to the soil
given places of fcrast, while the
old and tried citizens, men identi-
fied with every interest of the
community off State, are pushed
aside, and not alone by the igno-
rant and selfish, but by the best
votes in the district.
Men love to risk, to dare, and
at whatever costy we. ace them
daring the venturesome over and
over again. A community of in-
terest, a mutual dependency, gives'
a freshened seal to this penchant for
Bisk. • - /•
This spirit of venture develops
iaail -phases-of life, but in none
more plainly than in what may be;
termed MatrUnonial Risks.
We needfnot go from our own
door-steps to show each other,
girls who have taken, or are anx-
ious to take the risks we are.;
talking about in this paper. ' WBW
The majority of marriages of
to-day are not made between
high contracting parties of a life-
long acquaintance, but between
those who have but just met, to
.fall in love, as it is called, and", at
once, with all the risk and ven-
turesomeness of young Americans,
to twine the soft lace and orange
blossoms about the soul's shape,
to go down the long shadowy aisle,
to meet the words which makes
them man and wife, to hear the
congratulations of friends, and to
go from all this to the quiet of the
home, there to look at each other,
for the first time, and ask, " Who
are you ?"
People are is taken when, hi
such cases, they cry deluded grn,
or deluded young man. These
young people are not deluded.
They have gone into this thing
with their eyes wide open, and
their hearts pulsing with the love
of Bisk. There is a positive merit
in the dare of human nature, and
here exemplified.
The " I told you so " wisdomites
will shake their heads and say,
she should have married John
Smith or Tom Jones, who have
lived near them all their lives, and.
hot taken this Paul Breyton,.$r
Phillip Armitage, whom nobody,
knows, and yet,' perhaps, Sopi
Jones or John Smith, miy
only possess the requisite
ability to make a very ordinary
living, and walk in the very com-
monest paths of life, while Armi-
tage and Breyton are capable of
giving their young wtves a sphere
of life in the broader, deeper, hap-
pier sense.
Even though thepfail, the love
of darmg imputemg the giris iwill
prompt them to leaving John
Smith or Tom Jones, and taking
the others. The marriages tips
made are not always unhappy, nor
are the Joneses or Smiths, be-
cause they have ahfays-tived. near
us, the best people in the world
for husbands.

the risk than aeeepfc the sale, in a

they show a judgment worthy oi
praise.
; Xhis risk cvops out very strong-
ly in our American* financial ope-
rations. Men will much sooner
accept daring chances' of making
a sudden fortune^ than the safe
plan of keeping what they have,
and getting, to the goal of wealth
by slow processes.

most universal favor, and hi

Hair aad its Uses.
The Dubljp. Upiv^rsity Maga-
zine, in a discourse upon human
hair, says:
It is not tag useful because it is
ornamental. It is a bad conduc-
tor of heat, and keeps • the head
warm in winter and cold in sum-
mef. It wards off the effect of the
sun; and we find negroes exposing
themselves without head-covering
to its burning rays in tropical cli-
mates without the slightest in-
jury, and some tribes of wild
Arabs, who wear neither tarboosh
nor tnrban, are said to rely solely
on their bushy heads ofhair as pro-
tection against sunstroke. The
mustache is a natural respirator,
defending the lungs against the
inhalation of cold and dust. It is
a protection of the face and throat
against cold, and is equally in
warm climates a safeguard for
those parts against excessive heat
The mustaches of blacksmiths
show by their color the dust which
they stopped as a natural respira-
tor, and which, if inhaled, would
have been injurious. The mus-
tache is beneficial to those who
follow the trades of mill
masons, to workers m
even to travelers into Egypt and
Africa, when they are exposed to

SfcjSitefS'kiid Miners 6f the French
army, who are noted for the size
and beauty of their beards, enjoy
a special iinmrihiiys frofft ttffeciions
of this nature. The growth of
hair has been recommended to
persons liable to take cold easily.
It is stated that-Walter Savage
Landorj was a, sufferer from sore
throat for many years, and

according to the advice of the
Grand 'Duke of
Tuscany. .'l-lStf.variier adopted the
same course, fer the very identical
reason, and with fair success. But
he is bound to state tliait heh^s
seen individuals with long, flowing
beards, whom those ornaments
did not save from attacks of bron-
chial and . laryngeal disordei's.
The curling nature of the hair-is
attributed to a large proportion of
oily substance, which prevents1 the
absorption of-water. The effect
of dampness in destroying the
curl of the hair is well known,^but
it is not so w^l known that die
state of the hair partici^4tes Jft
the state of the general Imaltli.
In many instances, strong curiy
hair becomes straight if the pos-
sessors be Gut of health and the
condition of the hair with them
is as great a test vas t^c condition
