"Many coolies of the savage tribes from the hilly places, who have
been enlisted for the labour corps, were seen passing this town by
train lately. Some had too few clothes. Our late Chief Secretary,
the Hon'ble Mr. ----, was seen among them."--_Times of Assam_.

"All can sympathise with Mr. ---- and his teetotal party in
deploring the excesses of 'liquor' of any description, and the
vice, want and misery it brings in its course. But we cannot for a
single moment listen to their selfish and pitiful beatings, when
we know that if their methods were carried out through the land
it would people our beloved country with a virile race of effete
degenerates."--_Provincial Paper_.
"Virile" is good, and should encourage the teetotalers to proceed with
their "beatings."
