Il seems that all the worst passions
Il the century were to be impersonated
Nv one man, and he, Mana Sahib, and
our escort at Cawnpore, Joseph Lee,
knew the man personally. Unfortun-
atelv. there is no correct picture OF
Mana sahib in existence. The pictures
If him published in the books OF Eu-
rome and America, and familiar to us
ali. are an amusing mistake. This is
the fact in regard to them: A lawyer
Of England was called to India for the
purpose of defending the case OF ma

The attorney came and so skillfully
managed the case of his client that
the client paid him enormously fol
his services, and he went back
to England, taking with him a
picture of his Indian client. After q
while the mutiny in India broke out, 9
Mana Sahib was mentioned as the
champion villain of the whole affair
and the newspapers OF England wanted
q picture of him and to interview some
one on Indian affairs who had recently
been in India. Among others the
journalists called upon this lawyer
lately returned. The only picture ht
had brought from India was picturt
Of his client, the man charged witt
fraud. The attorney gave this picture
to the journals as a specimen Of tn,
way the Hindoos dress, and forthwith
that picture was used, either by mis-
take or intentionally, for Mana Sahib
The English lawyer said he lived IL
dread that his client would som'
day see the use made of his picture
and it was not until the death of hi
Hindoo client that the lawyer divulget
the facts. Perhaps it was never in

should be preserved amid human rec

was there any popularity in Nan'
Sahib's appearance?" The reply was
Nothing very peculiar; he was dull
lazy, cowardly, sensual man, brough
up to do nothing, and wanted to con
tlnue on the same scale to do nothing.
