of an adorning monk thinking al.out

The dramatic vicis>srittules of life
are of interest to all; but often the
abiding forces which cause these vic-
issitudes remain hidden and unguesr

to eat the paww,ver trapper with
their Lord, while Judns snakes his
nefarious bargain with the chief
priests; and events hurry forward to

him, but because he! first loved them;

A multiplicity of toll -gates was the
cause of the extraordinary "ltebec-
' ca" Ineurreetion, which broke out
in North Wales in 18-1:1. Parties of
five and slx hundred sten, armed and
mounted, used nightly to traverse
the counties of ('arcoarthen. Pem-
broke, Cardigan, and Ilrecun. They
were nlwoys led by a tall Henn, dreens-
(st in female attire. and it was at
his command always that the toll-
gates were thrown down and the
toll-houves burnt. 1
Large bodies of military were sent i
into the disturbed districts, but so!
well did the "Ilebeccaltes" keep
their councils, and so secretly did
they manage their forays, that no
efeett al check could be put upon
their pror.edings; and In the end
they ,stee aeled in demolishing prac-
tically all the obnoxious harriers in
the districts where they operated.
Much discussion has arisen regard-
' int; the curious title adopted by
these insurrections, but the most
generally received opinion is that
1 it was derived originally from the
• Biblical story of ilebecca and Isaac:
"i.et the se,t1," said the bride's re-
latives and friends, "possess the
gntes of those which hate thee."

Virginia, owing to an attempt to
levy n Rice -int duty on spirits. 01-
flcers sent to enforce the new statute
were violently resisted, and Federal
troops were thereupon searched into
the district. This enraged the peo-
ple still more, the rising becnrne
general. and many shocking outrages
were perpetrated.
At ono time the insurgents number-
ed between six and seven thousand,
all determined then and well armed,
and things looked very serious. But
while General I.ee, with throe bat-
talions of infantry, a troop of cav-
alry and a battery of artillery, was
preparing to take the field against
theist, the obnoxious law was hurri-
edly repealed, and the insurrection
thereupon came to an end.
The Maroon Insurrection was to
Jamaica, on a small scale, what the
mutiny of the Sepnys was to India
The Maroons were runaway slaves
who congregated in the impenetrable
forests on the north side of the is-
land. One day two of theist were
caught stealing pigs and flogged,
and this trifling incident net all their
comrades burning, massacring and
pillaging. The war that followed
was exceedingly sanguinary, no
quarter being given on either aide,
and at tirst the advantage was al-
most wholly on the side of the
blacks.
At length, however, the expellent
was hit upon of sending to puha for
one hundred bloodhounds. The !iTtt-
roons then craved mercy. which was
accorded theist; but all who would
not (trontisn to abandon their preda-

TN TII1: FORESSTS.
Insurrections aro to a great ex-
tent a smatter of race and tempera-
ment. When in London the "Mo-
hawks," the "Scourers," and other
similar gangs of well-bred rulTnlns
made the streets unsafe by night, no
one thought of throwing up barri-
cades in the Strand, or storming
Buckingham Palace. Yet when, un-
der like circumstances, the "armag-
nacs" and tho "Rurgundians" inter-
fered with the comfort of the Paris-
ians, the latter fell upon the rival
factions and extirpated them root
and branch.

were slaughtered in three days -a
lesson to well-bred "Hooligans" if
ever there were one. And, in addi-
tion. there fell in the resultant fight-
ing the "Constable of Prance. the
Chancellor. six bishops, and 3,500
nobles, besides an unnumbered mul-
titude of the "common people."
The i'homite Insurrection, which
broke out in 1838, had its origin in
'the insane ravings of a Cornish es -
leaped lunatic named John Nicholls
'I'ho►n. Ile appeared suddenly in
Kent, ns'umed the name of Sir Rich-
ard Courtenay, and gave out that ire

Perhaps, however, the Indian Mut-
iny affords the most striking in -
titmice on record of how easily, un-
der certain conditions. the smould-
ering embers of discontent may be
fanned all at once into the all -de-
vouring Ilatae of armed rebellion.
In January, 1857, a man employed
near Delhi in making cartridges for
the new Enfield riflery. asked a Sepoy
of the 2nd Native Infantry for •
draught of water from 111.4 drinking -
pot. The answer was an indignant
recusal, for if the pot iead but
touches) the lips of the low -caste ar-
tisan it would have been polluted
for ever.
Thereupon the workman replied
with a sneer that the Septet need not
be so particular, as the new cart-
ridges were greased with bullock fat
and every S(epoy in India would lose
caste in biting off the end.
The horrible tale spread like wild-
fire, variations of it being utilized
according to the religious prejudices
of the listeners. Thus the Hindus
were told that the grease Yves that
of the sacred cow. while the Moslem
soldiers' were asxriured that It carne
from the unclean Baine. (ethers,
again, asserted that it was a mix-
ture of cow and pig fat.
The ultimate result WAS. of course,
the sudden uprising of practically
our entire native Indian nrmv, and
