The Ralah's wives left the Enxine
steamer completely yelled on Monday
night at Q o'clock, and were conveyed to
Radley's Hotel in a closed carriage. They
We're met at the door of the hotel by the
Raah and one of his principal attendants,
who both held umbrellas over the heads
Of the ladies as they alighted. As soon
as they alighted they took the umbrellas
themselves and completely SCREENED them
selves from view. During the process Of
their alighting from the carriage, however,
a glimpse Of one of them was obtained,
and il was noticed that the lady had a thin
gauze veil over her face and fine black
eyes.
The Ra]ah was exceedingly anxious
that no one should observe the ladies, and
appeared agaated until they were safely
in their apartment His agitation was SO
great when he had conducted them mp
stairs, that he could not open the door OF
the apartment, and imagining it was lock-
ed, he requested that the gas should be

One day the Rajah's six servants, who

ate ia the open air, at the back of the

as they arrived at the hotel they made
for cooking their meal.
They wanted to cook by the side of a |
stream of water, but this they could not |
be accommodated with. They were very
busy in the courtyard Of the hotel, in the
evening about six o'clock, in culinary
operations. Previous to lighting their
fires, they carefully washed their hands
and feet, and then commenced laying ous

Of number of small bags of rice, by the
