THE NORTH-EASTERN FRONTIER HISTORICAL RETROSPECT POLICY OF CONCILIATION FORMER EXPEDITIONS ANNEXA￾TION OF CACHAR PROPER TEA-GARDENS THE KOOKIE TRIBE FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE LUSHAIS CHIEF LALAL HIS FOUR SONS RAIDS IN SYLHET, CACHAR, &C. COLONEL LISTER'S EXPEDITION.

THE North-eastern frontier of India has ever been a fruitful source of trouble and expense to the Government of this Empire.The history of each district on this frontier, whether prior or subsequent to its annex￾ation as a portion of British territory, is almost the same. Bordered by, or forming part of hill districts, inhabited by fierce and predatory tribes for ever making raids on their neighbours'villages, burning and plundering them, and carrying off the inhabitants it was not to be supposed that those under our protection should escape.When, in consequence of outrages on British subjects, the Indian Government has been forcedto take steps for their protection, its policy towards the offenders lias generally been one of conciliation rather than retaliation. The success which has usually followed the adoption of this policy seems to be the best argument in its favour.While, at the same time, establishing and maintaining frontier guards to check any out￾rage as far as possibl...

The garden covers several low tilas, the bungalow crowning one of them ; and beneath this, on the river's bank, are the huts and bazaar of the coolie labourers. There is also a small stockade of ancient bamboos, the weakness and ruinous state of which sufficiently indicate the sense of security felt by the in- habitants of the garden, who, however, have a small police-guard generally stationed there. Though so far removed from all aid, this garden has never, I believe,...

THE LUSHAI EXPEDITION .

The lofty hills to the south of Munipur ,Cachar, and a portion of the territory to the south-west of. . Cachar , known as Independent or Hill Tipperah , have been held by various families of the Kookie tribe from the earliest times of which we have any record .The name Kookie has been given to this great tribe, as Mr . Edgar tells Us , by the Bengalis ,and is not recognized by the Hillmen them selves . He saysI have never found any trace of a common name for the tribe among them, although they seem to consider different families as belonging to a single group , which is cer tainly coextensive with what we call the Kookie tribe .”The principal families with who m we firstcame in contact, were the Tangune , Chausels,Lad oé, and Poitoo Kooki es . All authoritiesagree in stating that from a very early period ,the tribes to the south have been gradually driving one another in a northern direction ;formerly the Buban Hills and a port ion of South Cachar were occupied by some members of a ra...
