The Burmah Monarch with His Two
Queens and Three Children.
Theebaw, the ex-king of Burmah, is
now state prisoner with his two queens
and three children, at Rutnagherry,
where he arrived from Madras ON the
10Th of April. Theebaw was brought on
shore by coolies in am arm chair which
was wholly covered with Turkey
red. The two queens were then brought
to shore, and so was the children with
the attendant.
Theebaw, who is about % years of age,
is strong built, middle-sized man, with
a round, fair Chinese complexion, and
wears slight moustache. He has a pre-
possessing appearance and the gait and
behavior of refined person. He had
put on a white silk coat reaching down
to his knees, and had silk langod of
variegated colors. He was wearing a
whits silk puggree like the rim of Per-
sian hat, from the top of which his plaits
of hair, which were tied up in the form
of cone, were visible. He was also
wearing silk stockings and kid leather
shoes, and on the whole he presented
smart appearance. On each side of his
breast there were attached to the silk
coat two rows OF diamonds and rdbies of
the size of small chestnuts in gold set
tings, which shone brightly in the morn
ing rays of the sun.
SopaYah Lat, his favorlte queen, was
dressed in a small white silk petticoat,
with pink and blue frontageS, and silk
langoti, stockings and English shoes.
The upper portion of her chest, which
was bare, was pFnamented with huge
diamond neckless some three or four
rows deep, while sort of a coronet set
with rubies, emeralds and diamonds,
was fixed into the folds of her hair just
above her forehead. She had also huge
gold rings, set with large diamond and
emerald on either side of 1t, fixed into
the holes bored into the lobes of her ears.
The other queen, WHO WIS similarly
dressed, and decorated with diamonds
and rubies and emeralds as Sapayah Lat
did not, however, present a desponding
appearance. She is at all events more
handsome and lively than the rival
queen, After Theebaw and his two
queens had been landed. Mr.. Propert and
Mr.. Crawford led the way, and inn
mediately SopaYah Lat, turning toward
her royal cOnSOrB cast q WlsgIul glance
at him, and offering him her left hand,
followed hand in hand the two officials.
The second queen followed the royal
couple. They all walked with a light
though firm step to the other end of the
shore, where the carriages were waiting
foe them. The two queens seated them
selves in what might be called the seat
of honor, and Theebaw and Mr.. Propert
occupied the opposite seat, The eldest
child was also taken into the carriage by
Sopayah Lat, and the party was then
driven to their bungalow ON the hill.
In the second boat were brought the six
maids of honor and two other infant
children of Theebaw. The maids of
honor were dressed III much the same
way as the two queens, bat they had not
their magnificent jewels to decorate
themselves with. But still each one,
decorated as they were, carried mine
ef wealth with her. Two Of these maids
carried, among other very valuable arti-
cles, two huge bows, which are made OF
pure gold.-TTiiMples Of India.
