NabOba OF IndIa.

Ball Run Russell describes some Of the
gorgeously dressed1 native princes OF
India who met the Prince Of Wales at
Calcutta. The Mabarsjah Of P~ultiala,
who first dashed up to the Viceroy' q
residence with outriders and escort, was
conducted up the steps under a golden
umbrella. The Msharsjah isa fne-look.
ing mar Of twenty-five. he speaks Eng.
lish, placed 10000 at the disposal Of
the government during the famine and
gave $1,000 to the Lahore University.
He rules over nearly two millions Of
people and an extent Of $500 square
miles. The state revenue exceeds E400,.
900. Next a salute Of nineteen guns
bearded the arrival Of Holkar, the Ma.
harsjah Of Indore. Huge in stature and
bulk, dressed simply, but decorated with
diamonds and emeralds of great value.
Then came the Msharajah Of Jodhpoor,
dressed in immense petticoats Of many
folds, reaching nearly to the ankle, gath.
cred in by q circular roll OF gold tissue
from the waist. His head-dress was a
small turbsn, bound around his brow
| with a golden fllet blazing With Jewels
Of extraordinary size. Next came the
Maharajah Of Jeypoor, who has nine
wives but no children. BE rules over
100000 people and 10, 1000 square miles
Of territory. The Maharajab OF Cashmere
next arrived. BE and his Sirdars wore
the Sikh head.dress and we're ablaze
with jewels. he had been with difficulty
persuaded to cut down his gifts from
$4,000 to $4,000 in value. To all the
chiefs the prince gave gold medals Of
commemoration. Next from q closed
brougham alighted a figure closely yelled
Beneath a robe and close. fitting trousers
pretty feet stole in and out" Another
figure followed. The screen before the
eyes vas too thick TO be pierced, but The
Begun Of Bopal saw everything. Shelf
not yet forty years Of age. She seemed
bowed down, but her daughter, not vel
eighteen, walked Just as feebly. It il
often such women as these who rule
native states. The prince received The
yelled ladies' most graciously. They did
not u~nveil, but it is said they are fair ID
ace.
