CHINESE MANNERs.--In all the hou-
ses of the wealthy there are two raised
seats at the head of the reception
room, with a table between them.--
The seat on the left side is consider
ed the seat of honor, and the visitor is
Invariably pressed into it. Scenes
which seem most amusing to the
stranger are always acted on an occa-
sion Of this kind. The host begs bis
visitor to take the most honorable post,
while the latter protests that he is un'
worthy of such distinction, and in his
turn presses it upon the owner Of the
mansion. And so they may be seen
standing in this way for several min.
utes before the matter is settled. ltis
the same way when a man gives q
dinner; and if the guests are numer,
ous, it is quite a serious affair to gel
them all seated. In this case it is no
only the host and the household wh(
are begging the guests to occupy th'
most honorable seats, but the guest
themselves are also pressing these ia
vorite places upon each other. Henc'
the bowling, talking, sitting down, ant
getting up again, before the party cal
be finally seated, is quite unlike any
thing one sees in other parts of tn
world, and to the stranger is excessive
lily amusing, particularly if he does no
happen to be hungry.-Robert For

lhe PRESIDENT one OF the Mlnlstry.--
The judges Of the courts, the Bishops,
and the officers of the Royal troops
serving in India, are appointed by the
Board of Control. The Board Of Di-
rectors appoint the Governors and
members OF the various Councils.
The Office of Governor General is
the highest under the sovereign. lie
is surrounded by the ablest men in
India as councillors, has a stated sal
airy Of 1925, 900, and resides wherey-
er his power and presence are deemed
necessary. The salaries of inferior
dignitaries are on a scale of ptopor-
tioDate liberality.
The number of persons employed
by the government is very large
They are divided into five classes,
viz: the civil, the clerical, the medi-
cal, the military, and the naval SER
vice, and all receive their appoint
ments in England. The civil service
! is first in honor and emoluments, and
numbers about eight hundred. In
the capital of each of the three presi-
denotes is a Supreme Court, which ex-
ercises jurisdiction over the city, and
in certain cases the trial is by jury,
but not in civil cases.
Near the capitals ofthe large native
principalities, are established agents,
called Residents, who receive good
salaries, and often live in almost roy
al magnificence. 1t is their duty to
keep the government well informed
of all that occurs around them, and
transact any business with the native
government that may be entrusted to
them. Sometime their power is great.
er than that OF the princes themselves,
whose guardians and the governors Of
whose territories the seem to be, rath'
er than the representatives Of another
government.
The army in the service Of the East
India Company at the time Of the
present mutiny consisted of NO less
than 500,n0 men, reputed to be in a
high state of efficiency. Of these
about 50,00O were Europeans, partly
Queens troops and partly enlisted by
the company. The remainder, with
the exception of the higher officers
were sepoys or native troops. The
native princes Of India may be divided
into two classes-those who receive
pensions IUr themselves and their lam
lilies, aud those who still retain some
authority and dignity.
1t was formerly the opinion Of Eng
lish statesmen that the native princes
contributed to the stability Of the En-
glish authority, and when a ruling
family became extinct in the course oi
nature, it was allowed to be perpetua
ted, in accordance with national Gus.
tom, by adoption. But more recent
ly the practice has prevailed of annex
ing every country directly to the com
pany's possessions as soon as the
reigniDg family becomes extinct. This
course has produced much excitement
in India, and called forth numerout
memorials and protests. The state o.
feeling which it has fostered undoubt
edly was a pledisposing cause Of the
struggle of which India is now the
scene.

The Dutchman and the Dandy.

An old plain-looking and plain spo.

the other day, dropped in at rcstau-
rant. Taking a seat alongside Of a
dandy .issimo sort of a fellow-all per-

our honest Mynheer ordered up his
dinner.
"What will it be, sirl" asked the
white apron.
"You got corn beef, heyl" says
Dutchy.
"Yec -
"You got sourkrout, too, hey!"
"Oh, yes"
"Vell, give me some of botE."
OFF started white apron on a keen
jump, and presently returned with the
desired fodder. The sourkrout was
smoking hot, and sent forth it's pecul
lar flavor, evidently satisfactory tc

to that OF our dandy friend, and Myn-
heer was about commencing an at
tack upon it, when he exclaimed:
I-a-say, my friend, a-are you
going to eat that stuff"
Mynheer turned slowly around, and
looking at his interrogator with as,
tonishment says he:
EAT it, Wy, ofcourse | eats it."
"Well," said the dandy, "I-a--
would as lief devour a plate Of gu
anol"
"Ah, vell," replied Mynheer, pitch
ing into the sourkrout with an evident
relish, dat depends altogether on how
you was brought up"
Dandy looked kinder caved in, and
we LETT with the opinion that DutchJ
was one ahead.

India-.Its Government, its Con-
diIiOn and its Prospects.

AS the Sepoy mutiny is turning all
eyes to British India, brief account
Of its rules, its political condition, and
the progress and prospects OF the re-
bellion, may interest our readers.
The present rulers of India are an
association of capitalists, Incorporated
at London in 1900, for the purpose OF
trading with the East lndias. Its
chsrteA4as been repeatedly renewed,
with such notifications as experience
suggested or circumstances required,
until it has grown to be the powerful
and wealthy East India Company OF
our day. The capital of the Compa
ny is nominally G6,0O0,000; but fol
many years the price ofthe stock has
averaged 275 per cent, making the
actual capital not less than $50, 900,
900.
The number of Directors is fixed by
the present charter at eighteen, o
whom twelve are chosen by the pro
prietors, and the remainder, who may
have resided 10 years in India, appoin
ted by the Crown. A Director re
ceives $500 per annum but the posi-
ton is valued more for the poweranc
patronage attached to it, than for th'
nominal salary.
The complaints of abuse on the par
of the East India Company, which
reached the English government il
the latter part Of the last century, lee
