VILLAGE JBUKNINC IN JLNUIA. The special commissioner of the na; Afer*, writing from l'ooproo on March iSth, says Wilful fire i«ising is one of the saddest accorupani Clients f th lood scarcity wKi h is now prevalent i tinHighuut Tiihoot.

Not a night passes that :hclc ,;ou rot rise in the horizon the luiid glow If a t.v.n.ins; villiage: and I have frequently made efforts to reach the scene of a fire by riding ?.?sttaight-'M ^wssible on t,ie liht of it. But on thit great Icv.?p)Hin,distat;(t< e:drondy dc ept)ve. and I have made f?: a tire that has not seemed five miles off, only to tmd, when I had rid- den far more than that distance, that I seemed no nearer to it Lan when I had started. Last night, however, I L. looped to bo in the neighbourhood of village when the flames hurst out in it, and -rot on the ground in time to witness a very distress- ing spectacle. Mr. Wilson and I had been spending the after- noon in \Siting some villages to the south east of thi faetoiy. Day had gone, aud the moon had ii.ien, when we turned our hoives heads homewards for n long, rough rido over the ricetields. A :nooulight night in India is deli.ghtf^ ul. The fierce heat of the day has waned, and ■iven place TO a charming Inuiny coolness. The -!ootl of soft ].ir moonlight pours down upon the ca rtli, and ethert alises e veiy thin?; the bamboo groves SLfin in ttieii pde feathery beauty retreats tit for fairies; water in the titr)i,s i-hinnuers in the moon- rays like g) eat plates of silver. The moonlight n.akoa even the s jualid villages beautiful, and over ti" whole sc-ne there L" (OMO a delightful still- ness and <|uunude, broken only by the chirping of the night inserts and by the monotonous notes of a song that is being sung by the squatters around the tire it., (.ist;tit mango-grove. No longer do rlondtt of dust rise to stirfo the wayfarer, for the hot wind of the day li, ginen place to a light gentle air which comes laden with ft "btlr frayiaucc that deligiits the senses. We were riding along in silent enjoyment of the moonlight, when, suddenly. "Wilson uttered a loud exclamation. as he pulled up his horse from his swinging canter. Not a mile away, on our right, a long tongue of bright flame was shooting up into the pale moonlight. A village on fire shouted Wilson, and giving our horses the spur, wo headed straight for the blaze. Before we reached the scene it was apparent th t the fire was spreading fast, and it seemed to us that it must have been kindled in several places at once. As we nuarod the village there came borne to on the light wind the shouts of men and the wail of women. The village was a large one and the lire had broken out in its very centre. About the outljiiig cjftagea there squatted people gazing su- pinely on the blaze if they were excited, they certainly did not show their excitement, far less did they seem to have any notion of going to give help to arrest the progress of the llamcs. But the scene changed as wo fori ud our horses into the opttt space before the blaaing cottages, for by this time the tire, fiercely leaping from roof to roof, had got hold of several. Tliei e was a crowd "f people in this open space, looking vory weird in the wised light of the pale moonbsama and the red ghw of the fire. Th, uia of the shouting was deafening, but shouting or itself will not put out a tire. and shouting seemed the only III ;¡ns em- ployed. Under the people-tiee were huddled tho women and children, whose abode had been in the Ma/iisg cottages; the poor women sat weeping uid moaiiing, while the children screamed with tenor, But the old wouun were not thus inactive. It was fearsome to see ti e haggard beldames d irt ing in and out of the ourning cottages in their eitorts to save something of the family proporty. The ttamca singed the streaming grey eltloeks of a lean withered grandmother, i.s she ran into the very eye of tho fire and staggered out a moment later, carrying a small brass pot that was one of the family household gods. None helped the old women it seemed, indeed, that they did not want help, fearing thieves even more than tire. What, allk you, were the men of the family doing ? They were trying to save the store of rice to which the family bad trusted to avert starvation, and because of which this visitation of fire had fallen upon their dwelling. That dwelling I must describe. The low walls of a Hindoo cottage are built of mud, sometimes solid, sometimes plas- tered upon wattled straw and bamboo. The sloped roof is a framework of bamboo thatched with straw. The furniture consists of a charpoy, or bedstead or twa, a few blankets, and several k-Mks, or grain receptacles. These h>il:es are made of baked mud, in shape they resemble very thick squat churns, and they stand in corners raised from off the floor III pedestals of stones. When they arc filled the lid;, are sealed down with mud, and the grain, when wanted, is drawn off through a hole neii the bottom, the plug of which i, a handful of mud laid oil moist. Those plugs had been knocked out, and the grain was :streaming on to the rloov, on wlii h burning fragments from the blazing roof wet, falling thick. The men of the cottage had got some baskets, and were catching in them as much rice as they could, carrying it where the women sat, and then rushing back for more. But it was not for this that the place had lkdl fired. The cordon of clamouring lirahuiins and Rajpoots Lad been drawiug closer and closer to the burning house, and presently there was a rush. The men who were ssving their rice got hustled somehow into tho back- ground, and a little mob of hungry despjra- loes tumbled in under the blazing roof. Some caught up abodily, and carrying it out into the open, let it fall. The rice, of which it was full. stveamtd out into the dust, and then the wolfish instinct got the mastery, and the whole crowd dived at it madly, fighting and tearing ea-h otliei for the handsful of mixed rice and dirt. Some cowered tlat on the ground, covering little heaps which hey had raked together, but w:u>;li they felt w< ',I be wrested from them, if they moved and • .posed them. Others scooped dust and rice tog. er into the corners of their dhoties, and then, V.■.hering up the edges of the clatij, made a bolt ith this instalment of irregular sal- vage. It v. impossible to interfere, for the people were laaddened by greed and the opportun- ity of pillage. All we couid do was to stand by the wretched women who were moaning under the people-tree, and do what we might to protect for them at least the few basketsful that had been saved before the dam of robbery and licence broke. Meanwhile the fire was spreading rapidly. For- tunately the wind was very light, but, nevertheless, there was enough of it to fan the flames not a little. For auht that the efforts of the villagers availed the whole village might have been con- vamcd. The owners of the cottages in what may he called the line of tire had begun to fetch a trifle of water from the tank in their gaylas," or brass driuking vessels. They might as well havo used a penny squirt. Mr. Wilson and I attempted to pull the roof from off a threatened cottage, be- lieving that by doing so we should have arrested the spread of the flames; but tho people to whom the cottage belonged objected strenuously, al- though they might have put the roof on again next morning without the slightest harir haviug been done. But they preferred to let the roof stand until the fire came and licked it, whijh it presently did. with a keen relentless activity in which there »eemed something devilish. In all six cottages were burned down. and maro would have shared the same fate but for the c ourage of a single native- n low caste itiin, who had no particular intenst in saving the e^tt.(g?s o Jhahmin ryots, but who seemed to have a n.itura' liking for danger. When I saw him first he was on the slope of :t cottage roof, over against whi,.h another roof was blazing fiercely. The man was stark naked,for the tongues uf tlame lapped round him, -"< that if he had worn his cloth it must have c.v\ght nre. From below, people were handing him up > ay Las full of water, which he poured on the loof on which he stood, wherever it caught tire. For many minutes he kept abreast of his work; but in the end the flames were too nimble for him. They laid hold of the roof iu several places at the same ti ne, and he could only extinguish one blaze at a time. H, sto(IÙ his ground till the fames were actually rising around him, and then jumped to the grouud, a good doal scorched indeed, but neither seriously the worse nor at all conscious apparently that he had ben doing anything out of the common. His gallantry excited no enthusiasm on the part of the onlookers, and, indeed, the apathy had been so great that the supply of water handed up to him had been but scauty. Two houses turther on. the tame man turned up, carrying out the same tactics. On the toof of it he had got while as yet the next house had not caught; and thus he had time to damp the thatch before the tire began to threaten him. It tried very hard to get a hold upon the loof which he was defending, and it seemed that several times he would be beaten back from this trench as he had been from the previous one; but courage and perseverance conquered. I do not suppose the fire Lasted altogether tor an hour and a half, and had there been wind the whclc village would have been burnt down ia a quarter of the time. By the time we left, the people whu owned the cottages owliest destioved were sweeping out' the charred embers, and preparing to bivouac under the remnant left upstanding of the waUs of what had but an hour before been their homes. Theft had gone on while tie lire lasted; and :ph we rode homeward we passed people :m the road who had evidently been concerned in it, and weie on their way to neigh- bouring villages with their plunder. I havo little doubt that when the distress becomes more severe, attempts will be made to set fire to the golahs iu which the Government graiu is stored.
j SOCIALISM IN FRANCE.I
SOCIALISM IN FRANCE. The Pails correspondent of the writes Last year, when the Restoration agitation, which was destined to prove so complete a failure, was most active, plots for an insurrection, out of which the Socialists expected to make capital, were en- tered into in certain departments. It will be re- membered that in the Saone et Loire the Marquise de M'Alahon was to be sei-ed, and that Lodeve and Autun, ether persona of importance, were to be captured as hostages. At Lyons, the central point of the movement, some arrests were made. The papers which fell into the b ids of the police showed that many deputies l implicated in. and had promised to take tho leal the proposed re- bellion as soon as the proper n.jment had arrived. When the authorities commenced proceedings in the criminal courts against the conspirators there was a general outcry from the Republican press. The whole aitair, it said, wa3 an invention of the (Government, who wanted to get credit for wonder. ful vigilance, or i, it was not an invention, the movement was merely aimed at the Monarchy,wnd a Republican Administration had no right to blame those whose only crime was to think of the defence of the Republic. A:ter seven months of arduous and minute preliminary investigation, the conspi- racy has come before the courts, and the evidence proves that whatever the Republicans may have meant to do, the Socialists behind them had hopes of turning society upside-down, and reviving in a much more extended se nsc, the system illustrated by the Commune of Pans. Fpon the luppression of this institution and the appearance of divisions in the International Society, caused by the quarrels of Karl Mar-, and Rakaunine, the French Socialists found it was necessary for them to reorganise them- selves. Lyons was their head-quarters, and they had branches over all the surrounding district. They were strong in Viileftanche, Koanne, and St. Etiennc. Two plans were proposed, but on the p:opo:-iti.'U of the delegates from St. Klioiinc it lesolved that the branches and sul-biarxhcs should be self-governing. This, by-the-byt>, was in M, Thiers J time, I and everybody knew what was going tu the acces- sion o f Ma.MaW. made the agitators asore cautious. In every town independent and "autonomic "W;,¡lS were formed, who appointed a delate eatti to the lo al committee. Each loca-committee sup- plied a member ? the departmental council, ,Lna each departmental council a representative to the regioi.af c smmitte The regions were four in num- ber, and were riiowti as the centre, cut. west, and south; it will be noticed that there was no north, and it is a fact that the Socialists have never been able to get a footh.g in this quarter of the country. The documents found in the hands or the per- sont4 arrested give the details of the organisation of the association and its ratifications, and show how rapidly the word of command would have gone round and put the of tLe working population x,(,und and put the ww? o.l in motion at the <iume moment for the same enu, I That end was the one which the Communists of ran.. and Lyons strove to attain, and was defined in the pamphlet* distributed by the association and sent from Barcelona and Geneva, where it had agents. Hatied against other upper classes of every kind was emphatically inculcated, but the hwas he Id up for special animosity. Hitherto the .roihbg -an has been the dupe of the trader. The fornei has brought about the revolutions, gEt the latter has profited by them the form* r has risked h:e ami liberty for the over- throw of Govemc;e.ii3 and the establishment of the Republic, but the --kttkr litta sel:ed the power and oppressed him to whom lie owed it. The vrripi-u: must be utilised against the Royalists, but the J loyalists beaten, both must be sent to the winds. "The want of the period is destruction. To gain our object every means 15 good they nitiv call this barbarism as against their civilisation so be it, we want savage war- fare. We do not seek to reform or to conquer the State, but to destroy it." Further 011 we read—the pamphlet is styled "La Liquidation Socifde." "Has not the time come for us to judge the cajiiti'iarU-t and to purge the liepuhlic of all those noble cllicers ? lio to, accuraed ',Ull ¡'.fl,i)/f, theu who always need'st someone to save thee; thou art fit for naught but hate perish with thy I generals." The Communists will not forget, if they ever have an opportunity for revenge, that their friends were shot down, and that they were brought low by soldiers who gave way to the Ger- mans. Further, again, the Socialist writer says Massacros sh->uld be the subject of serious con- sideration the working man, whose interest it is to ,,i those who live by making um of their it iiu .vs. At the beginning assassina- tion is iudispeusible. It is absolutely im. possible to try the criminals, the eternal rebels against labour and knowledge, the devourers of the lu oletarian—their number is -too great. The plunderer himself, after having killed or im- prisoned the support of a family is pleased to keep it alive starving; we should be more humane, spar- ing none; the reptile dead, the venom is dead too. Great ills require great remedies." When we think that this language is used with effect in France, where the workman is well paid, and no one who really merits the name ever dies of hunger, where, I up to very lately, misery was almost unknown, and where besides there are so many charitable insti- I tutions for the relief alike of deserving and unde- serving poverty, we can imagine what harm it would do in a country where charity is rare, money is not evenly distributed, and land is in the hands I of the few. That such doctrines as La. Liquidation Socialem' enunciates are held by the men of the lower orders, who get up civic interments, and elect representa- tives like Larodet, there is ample proof, if only in the proceedings before the tribunal at Lyons. If there had been any doubt as to the 'onsequences of the Republic, we might have got a hint from a letter by one of the accused We have so often exposed oui selves to blows. fusilades, imprisonment, and tiansportation for the benefit of the boinyroi.i, that it is well since these 'wJ; are overcome by the clerical party and the squirearchy, to stimulate thuu with the assurance of our support, and help them agaimt our common enemies; but this time let them occupy the advanced posts. As we havo the real strength, we shall have the best of the battle in the end, provided we do not as in 151S and 1S70, allow the representatives of this inurrjeuUie, ornamented with the name of Re- publicans, to settle down into power." It would bo well to know what M. Casimir' l'erier or M. Gam- fetta thinks of this policy. The Committee of the Hue Grolee, that famous body which recommended Barodet to the electors of I'aris, and returned SIM. Ordinarie and Kane, was suspected by the Cen- tral Committee of the International Association of Working Men," and put down as a collection of "selfish bourgeois," who cared for nothing but lucrative places. Lucrative places there would be none now could the International Society have had its wny. The programme is not the least interesting ele- ment in the trial. At a time," it says, when we have had one after the other absolute and consti- tutional Monarchies, theocratic and Conservative Kopublics, when every re(iimc has had its day, wlitm¡ we have been subjected to MacMahons, Thicisco, and their consorts; at a time when our icpresentatives are making the way smooth for a king when on one side they seek to take us hack to the days of divine right, and on the other to days lets distant, but more fatal for the working man, those of May and dune, 1871, when the assassins of l'aiis were received with honours at Yersailles, and covered with praises by the members of the present Left; suspecting treason, the delegates of the revolutionary groups of the Lyon district, scorning to continue to serve as a step-ladder to political intriguers, and desirous to vindicate the rights of labour, which are undoubtedly those of reason and justice, have formed a committee under the style of Working Men's ( 'ommittee of Revo- lutionary Action,' and have adopted the following programme: Art. 1. Considering that all our <Governments hitheito have been mere frauds and deceits, and that any central authority can but I ut off the emancipation of labour and the working man, we declare Lyons a free and self- governing Commune. "1 Then follows the way of reducing the new arrangement to practice "The police is suppressed, with the magistrates and judges; all codes, Acts, and decrees, assize courts, and tribunals are abolished, and replaced by a Popular Court;' the direct and indirect taxes are ftbolMhed and replaced by a proportional j imjKwt according to the wealth of the in- dividual all creeds are abolished, with the ministers who teach them; the Permanent Aimy is abolished, for in case of ag- gression by any Monarchical Power a congress of the Communes will meet, and legislate as to the armament of the confederated Communes and the bases of common defence." In spite of the un- equivocal nature of the evidence against the pri- soners the prosecution thought that they could not well be found guilty of attempting to overthrow the established Government. They had not gone far enough when they were 'caught. They were, therefore, merely accused as members of a sci i et society associated with the illicit Interna- tional. The proceedings resulted in the condemna- tion of twenty-six persons to various pains and pmalties, of which the heaviest was five years' imprisonment. When sentence was delivered there wus a. scene in the court, which had to be cleared by force. The Republican press now repudiates the wietches whom it formerly defended, and attempts to prove that they are unimportant, and their jilots and writings contemptible, which is quite I natural.
GRAND BAZAAR Arw FANCr FAIR…
GRAND BAZAAR Arw FANCr FAIR AT NEWPORT. J Yesterday the N'ictoria hall was visited by t,large and fashionable company, that being the opening day of the fancy fair on behalf of the St. Wooiloi a:.d Tredegar Wharf lllementary Schools. When tho Education Act was passed it was determined that subscriptions should, be taken for the purpose of building schoola that rdiould meet the deficiency which existed in the then elementary schools. Two admirable sites were obtained—one in Baneswell, and another in the lower part of the town both being in the midst of large populations. The education department of the Government contributed towards the cost, and sanctioned the plans of the buildings. The schools in Baneswell were planned to accom- modate 170 boys, 170 girls, and 272 infants; those in l'illgwenlly afford room for 240 in a mixed school of bojs and girls, and 160 in the infant school of boyi school. Each set of schools has a good play ground, and dwelling-houses for master and mistresses. The buildings have been erected in a very substan- tial manner, and the attendance of children has been encouragingly good. The cost of the build- ings, including the land, bas exceeded ik6,000, and a liability of £ 1#50 remains to be cleared off. It is hoped that this fancy fair will materially help to discharge the debt. A very influential committee was formed when the bazaar was projeoted, and the patronage was obtained of the Lord Lieutenant of the county, and her Grace the Duchess of Beaufort, Lord and Lady Tredegar, the High Sheriff and Mrs. Bailey, the Mayor and Mrs. Hewci taon. Lord Henry Somerset, M.P. and Lady Somerset, the Hon. F. Morgan, M.P., and Mrs. Morgan, Mr. Cordes, M.P., Mrs. Ollivant, Mr. Octavius Morgan, and the Trustees a: d Managers of the Schools. Ladies came forward 11 est readily to take stalls, and to prepare articles fi i 3ale. A committee of gentlemen was also formed to decorate and prepare the hall, consisting of bi t isrs. F. J. Mitchell, J. W. Bebell, H. J. Davis, A, C. Jones, E. J. Ward, and H. J. Groves. Six stalls were constructed for the sale of fancy articles, aud these were placed three on each side of the hall; there was also a refreshment stull in front of the orchestra; and on the platform was a gipsy tent. In the centre was a scent fountain. The six principal stalls were artistically formed, and each had a tastefully made scroll bearing the names of the ladies who presided, and the district they represented. The hall itself' was hung with the flags of all nations, and round the gallery plants were placed at intervals. Theplatform was decorated with plants, andon the leftoftheplatform there were iows of plants and cut flowers for sale. Great taste had been displayed in the decorations, and a good eitect was produced without attempting too much. The stalls were presided over by the follow- ing ladies St. blirkii. -Dlrs. Lister and Mrs. C. C. Brewer. Newport and Pill Schools.blrs. Lyne, Molra. W. G. Cartwright, Mrs. Mitchell, and Mrs. A. C. Janes. St. WOOIIOB.—Mrs, Hawkins and Misses Eebell Thomas, Gregory, Clapp, Crawley (2), Garrett, and Morgan. Holy Trinity.—Mrs. Bedwell, Mrs. L. A. Hom- fray. and Mrs. W. H. W. Homfray. Newport and Pill Schools.—Mrs. H. J. Davis, Mrs. Travers, and Mrs. Whitehouse. St. Paul's. Mrs. Parnall, Mrs. T. Beynon, and Mrs. G. W. Jones. Refreshments.—Mrs. Allfrey and Mrs. Stevens. Gipsy Tent.—Miss Morrison and Miss Brewer. Scent Fountain. Mrs. and bliss Foote. It is quite impossible to gite a description of the articles displayed for sale. The variety included useful, ornamental, and fancy and it is quite certain that clever and ingenious ladies had been long and hsrd at work to produce many of those which were exhibited. Several novelties were to be seen, especially in leather work, produced by Mrs. H. J. Davis and a lady who instructed her in the art of working in leather. Oue of the articles was a very elaborate" ornamental bracket, representing clusters of grapes and other fraits, together with a large quantity of foliage, the latter being worked in a marvellous manner. This was sold before the bazaar was opened. Mrs. Hawkins's stall was adorned with a large number of water colour and other drawings, two or three being pictures of the interior of St. Woolos Church. On the platform surrounding the gipsies' tent were a number of small tables, specially made for the bazaar, and covered with coloured wool work. Croquet and other games were also repre- sented, and there was also a splendid model of a yacht full rigged andjsails set, the gift of Admiral Focte. The plants for decoration were supplied from the conservatories of gentlemen on the com- mittee, and those plants which were for sale had been contributed by Lord Tredegar chiefly. The band of the Bombay Fusiliers was in the hall during the day, and played a selection of music with great taste. Punch and Judy had great admirers in the children who were present, and those of larger growth were not unmindful of the sensations of their early days produced by that ever-welcome entertainment. Yesterday the doors were opened at one o clock. The weather was beautifully fine, and there was a crowded attendance throughout. When lit with gas the hall looked exceedingly well. The bazaar will be open again to-day (Thursday), at noon; and it is also intended to be open on Saturday, when it is hoped the whole of the valuable articles will be sold. The value of the articles displayed must be something enormous, and if cleared out, as we hope they will be, there will be a good step taken towards extinguishing the debt at present existing on the schools. With so good an object before them, the well-to-do classes can have no hesitancy in coming forward to the help of the committee and the instruction of the poor.
- EXTRAORDINARY CASE IN THE…
EXTRAORDINARY CASE IN THE FOREST OF DEAN, At the Colcford petty sessions on Tuesday (before Sir Jas. Campbell, Bart., Gen. Woosnam, Mr. l'al- mer, Dr. Batten, and Mr. Trotter), Rhoda Linley, of Ilear HuardelUl, Wall charged forthatina certainplace of religious worship there, duly certified under the provisions of the Act 18 and 1\1 Vic., chap. Sl, and during the celebration of Divine service therein, she did unlawfully molest, disturb, vex, and trouble the Hev. Wm. Henry Tetley, the complain- ant, being duly authorised to preach therein. Mr. Hullett appeared to prosecute, and having read the clause of the Act under which the pro- ceedings were instituted, he said this was a most painful case on the part of the complainant, who had most reluctantly decided to prosecute the defendant. He, however, felt that in order to ob- tain protection from the indecent behaviour on the part of Miss Linley, who had constantly annoyed the rev. gentleman, it was desirable that he should summon her to this court. She had been a member of the complaint's Church for years, and some time fgo, from a motive best known to herself, she con- sultedlier'pastoronamatterthat causedhersomedis- tressofmind. Mr. Tetley advised her as he thought best, although he discovered from her conversation she had another motive in waiting upon him, and upon discovering this he became more, cautious and plainly tola her not to annoy, disturb, or interfere with him in any way whatever, that she was at liberty to attend his church, but that he objected to the mode in which she was conducting herself from time to time. She was also recommended by members of the church not to annoy Mr. Tetley, and she promised not to again do so. This promise for a time was respected, but she afterwards re- newed her former freaks, and upon every occasion she was present, directly the benediction was pro- nounced she withdrew from her pew to the vestry, and renewed hei vexatious annoyance. This continued for some time, and every inducement was held out and every forbearance shown in order to induce her to discontinue the strange conduct. Sir James You have used the words indecent conduct. What do you mean ? Mr. Hullett: These words are used in accordance with the statute. Sir James Very well; disturbance in a church or chapel would be indecent behaviour, Mr. Hullett went on to say that in consequence of this kind of annoyance being repeated from time to time at the end of each serviee produced consi derable excitement among the congregation, until it became so unbearable that the rev. gentleman had either to resign his charge or take these proceedings. At this stage of the case, the Bench suggested to their clerk that he should confer with defendant with a view of inducingher to enter into recognisances to keep the peace. After several minutes' consulta- tion,. in which she assented, Sir James said that the defendant mustbesuf- fering from Bome monomania, which was deeply to be regretted. Ho understood there was no desire to press the case, and under all the citcumstanceB, without entering upon the evidence, which must be of a painful character, the Bench had decided to order the defendant to enter into sureties to keep the peace. Defendant aid she was quite willing, and if Mr. Tetley did not wish to see her again in the Baptist chapel she had no wish to go there, but she had her reasons. Sir James Very well, that might be. Defendant then paid the costs, and left the court amid some laughter,
