WI. SEWARD IN INDIA.
A coxcERr n INDIA.

A CONCERT ~ INDIA
The maharaiah's concert was given in
a style of Oriental magnifcenee at the
town-hall, before an audience of twelve
hundred, all of whom the prince had
invited. An illuminated arch was rails
ed above the porch of the building, and
above it blazed the ''Star of India, "
with all the effect which gas-gets and
rehectors of FURNISHED silver could pro-
duce. The vaulted roof of the build
ing is supported by double rows. of
white Corinthian columns with CORES
pending pilasters. The ceiling and
walls were painted in delicate green;
groups of rose-colored lamps were sus-
pended between the columns and pilas-
ters, and the nave was lighted with
transparencies designed to illustrate the
greatness and glory of Britain. The
splendid comb nation of light and color
brought out in full relief the garlands
and festouns of flowers which burdened
the air with perfume. Sofas were ar
ranged so as to afford the guests full
freedom of promenade and conversation
in the intervals of the music. The ma
harsiah, with royal munifcence, brought
tie entire operatic troupe upon the
stage, while independent bands of mu-
s C were stationed at all the approaches
of the edifce. The turbaned and de-
corated prince appeared in his own pro-
per regaiia of gold and jewels, realiz-
ing the highest descriptions we have
ever read of Eastern gorgeousness. He
wore not only rings without number on
his fingers, a golden girllle at his waist,
necklaces of jewels, aud "ropes OF
pearls" on his breast, but also a blue
and-gold satin robe, which was broid r
ed to the depth OF six inches with a sol
ii mass of glittering precious stones.
It is needless TO say that the musical
performance was very good, yet it was
the ostentatious display which attended
it that was the wonder of Calcutta that
night.
