shine,— which, by the wny, almost points to the fac* 
that Minatchi would be beat rendered Bright-eyed 
than Ei^h■eyed, following Vellalohi (light eyed, or 
silver eyed), Taneatchi (golden-eyed, as well as 
younger sister). But I suppose there ia a difference 
between ” Achi” Ca mother), and " Adcbi,” which 
Ptotiably comes from some root moaning eye. “ Karoly 
h iiri o " is better able to explain. Most u’s are pro- 
iionnced as i (in pin) by the coolies, so that I don’t quite 
follow **K. F. ’in objecting that mnn and viin are easily 
oonlomided ; but cooly-TamuI (or Tamil) is doubtless 
a fearful and wonderful thing. I owe my knowledge 
of the meaning of '• Toppyl tlei ” to a Tamil gentle- 
man of the Edinburgh University, and I found the 
ooolies had to think twice before they could see the 
connection. E VV. J. 
Note by Kabolv Fcbdo.-II is ipiite refreshing to 
hnd anyone taking interest in anything beyond the 
mere rontine of tra manufacture, and going into the 
why and wherefrom as “ II, \Y. J.” ia doing. I quite 
eonoede that in Tamil short i and k and long i and « 
“re interchangeable, but what I cannot admit ia that 
“bort u is ever prononnoed like long t, or that umii 
oonid ever become min. And now 1 am sorry to see

roua-eyed but Velleiohohi ("the white woman) is 
?Bly the feminine form of Velloiynn : and Tangaohohi

point about 3d. Notwithstanding this advance, prices 
IJd lower than at this time last year, and 
providing tliere ia no further material increase in
