Infinite mischief is dono in theso days by tho harsh and contemptuous language which is commonly used about tho Babu and othor kinds of educated native. • Some of thorn are indeed in tho Iwtm'xt-and-bctween stage of education, which easily makes them agitators and tho victims of agitators, but the cure for that is not contempt and.exasperation, but more and bettor education.— ''Westminster 'Gazette. 1 -'
