TIL RIVER S.

than was the prince, to whom Warlike shows
we're abhorent. During the royal tour through
India, the other rajahs visited by the Prince
of Wales-Scindia and Cashmere, and Holka
exhibited with pride their armies, formed
upon British models; the rajaho Of Jeypore was
content to show q city with broad, regular
streets, ~scrupulously clean and well kept, and
a contented and prosperous people, and to
amuse his guests with a few hundred fighting
men of q type elsewhere extinct, armed with
strange and uncounth weapons, a mere parody
upon q military force. The ajah Jeypore was
more proud of the schools he had founded,
the institutions he had set on foot, the sani-
tary, the magnificent enamel work bis people
alone can produce, than Of the pomp and
display in which other Indian princes delight.
And yet among the rajapoots OF whom he was
the chief, there is as good fighting blood,
as high, if not higher, 8 sense of chivalry
than among any other natives of the Indian
race. But the prince appears to have had the
happy faculty of convincing as we'll as ruling
his subjects, and the fact that he should have
been immensely popular among all classes, in
spite of a devotion to the arts of peace, and
a fondness for western innovations of a
kind generally most obnoxious to natives of
India, speaks volumes for his tact and wisdom
as well as his en]ightment and intelligence.
His death is a grevious loss to his objects,
and q matter for sincere regret among Eng
lishmen in general.
