MUZBEE SIKHS.LOW CASTE.LAHORE.<237i SANSEES, OE SANSEEAS. (238) THE Sanseeas are a nomadic tribe, found chiefly in Lahore, the Manjha, andSealkote. They Hve by hunting and thieving; but an attempt has beenmade, with some hope of success, to induce them to settle down to agiiculturalpursuits. They have a j^eculiar language and rehgion, and do not mix, or marry,with any other of the wandering tribes of India. As Dacoits they have had norivals; and, though strangers to the locahties, and unable to speak its dialects, theyhave yet penetrated to the Deccan, and can-ied on their daring exploits there, witha boldness and certainty unknown to other classes of Dacoits in India. They werefully described in No. 195 of VoL IV., to which article the reader is referred forfurther infonnation.

Theyare found on all the rivers of the Punjab, and on the Indus do^^^l to the sea; and,though they have been converted, are probably httle changed since the days ofAlexander the Great.

As their calling gives them onlyordinary subsistence, none of them attain any high social rank; but the ownershipof a boat or two ensures respectable competence. Some of them are employed onthe river steamers, and make good pilots, watching the changes in the sand banksafter every fl.ood. In ascending the rivers, and when the wind is contrary,

The houses, as far as appears, did not differmuch from those cubes of stone, without eleganceeither exterior or interior, which now cover the richerparts of the Libanus, and which, mingled with vinesand fig-trees, have still a very agreeable look. Thesurrounding country, on the other hand, is charming;and no spot in the world was so fitted for dreams ofabsolute happiness. Even in our days Nazareth is stilla delicious place of residence—the only spot, perhaps,in Palestine, where the soul feels itself somewhat re-lieved from the burden which oppresses it in the midstof desolation unequalled. The people are amiableand cheerful; the gardens are fresh and green.
