1 IUjfootaha, Oot. 12, 1872. J
1 would have written lieforo if I
could have found time, but 1 have been
in tilth, a continual state of excitement
lately that it wan inuxwrnblo. 1 wrote
to yon last jmt after my arrival from
hrmpoors, on tho da, and lorijot whetn
er I mentioned to you that the iluha-
rana was tlaneerouslv ill. He bad
been so for some time, and I am sorry
to say that just when every one bciran
to think there was a chance of hia re
covery, ho had another attack and
died most suddenly two days ago. On
ttie 4th instant Dr. luacdowall arrived
here from Noemnch (eiijht miles ofT),to
consult with Dr. Burr hero about the
ilahamna, for they had hopes of his
ultinmto recovery, though vory light
ones. Un the Ttu bo was much better,
but 10 o'clock at niifht the doctors
were sent tor, as tho Muharana was in
great pain. Thoy returned to us very
shortly to sav that it was all over, and
that they had lett him dying; another
aocoHS had nnrst In thu liver, and tho
shock had been too much. Colonel
Wright, the political aeent here, and I
at once buckled on our revolvers, and,
jumping into the carriage, drove off to
the pnlaoe as hard as we could ro.
iuu iuunnnuia nau uieu jiihi. a mmuic
or two befora our arrival, without
naming any sacemisor. He had no
children of his own, and he had alwaya
relused to adopt, as is cuntomary ac
cording to llindow law. lie letl two
uncles, both of whom wore at deadly
enmity with each other, and we were
afraid that there would be a row be
tween them for the succession ; how
ever, luckily everything went off quiet
ly. Kach of these uncles, I must toll
you, had been accused of having be
witched the Mauarana, and the row
was just coming to a crisis when the
lattor died. One uncle at the time was
living In a garden next to tho Resi
dency, where be bad oomo for refuge
and the protection ot the political agent.
Three days before his death tho Mulia-
rnna was woighed against gold, he in
one scale and gold monurs in tho othor.
This enormous sum, about a lae and a
half (150,000 rupees), was to bo dis
tributed among the liruhinins ; conse-
quently, the city was crammed lull of
those people, who bad corao Irora miles
round to participate in tbo spoil. .1
aw myself no less than 30,000 of them
fed in the paluce a few days ago, and
after the feast was over a niece of cold
to the value of between throe aud Tour
rupees was given to each as they went
out or tne palace gates; that is how
tho numbers were ascertained. Well,
to return to the subject. Colonel Wright
and I, after hearing of the Mnbarana's
death, went down again to the waiting-hall
below. We found that, all
Colonel Wright's orders had been car
ried out. ' 'J he Zenana doors were
locked, and everything was compara
tively quiet The entire government,
of course, lapsed Into Colonel Wriirht's
hands, and be is at present the at Jncto
ruler of tho country. The excitement,
which waa great at first, gradually got
less, and about 2 o'clock in the morn
ing It was protty quiet. Wo lay down
in our clothes, and took a short nap,
but neither of ns had any sleep. 1 do
not think the women of the Zenana
got now of the Maliarana's death for
some time, aud did not show their
grief till early rooming.
. Joot at dawn we wore startled ly a
fearful wail from tho Zenana, which
contains, I am told, &00 women, so you
can. fancy what a row all these wail
ing together could mnko. ' Their cry
was taken up by all th people in the
palaoa, and went on, I may say, alrnnat
without Intermission for some three
hours, till the body was carried oft" to
tbo pluve of cremation. Troops of wo
men came in from the city, all wailing
and crying in chorus. These all passed
through the palaro into the Zenana to
add their lamentations to those of its
inmaten, and as day broko the prepar
ations for the funeral went on and the
crowd began to get thicker and thick
er. At this time women in the Zenana
began to get most violent. The two
wive and the favorite concubine of tho
Maharaua niado most deturminnd ef
forts to break throngh the doors, and
doubtless they wonld havo succeeded
m getting out bad not Colonel Wright
taken ill precaution of having them
looked In in time. I had poattswion of
tho key lt tho time. They wantodto!
be allowed to evnuuit 'nut toe,' and to!
be burnt along with th Maharana.and
lent messag? after meMOgo to Colonel
Wright begging to be let out. Their
effort to gel out were so detormlucd
that Colonel Wright at Inat pooted the
two chief tiohld of the Slulo at the
doors, aud told thuin that h would
bold them paranoial ly responsible that
no one got out. It Is a rule hero thot
if a woman get out of the Zenana and
shows her face she Is either obliged to
beeome a "suttee" and be fcitmed, or
rim to commit suicide. ' Al lost the
Maliarana's mother sent a mesango to
Colonel Wright begging that ns i.one
of the other were allowed to become
suite th might have perniisakia to do
so, a no Maharana of Oodoyporir had
ever died alone and, It would tie a dis
grace M her Km waa to do so. . All the
time great preparation were going on
ft tka foe ami rroepoBion. ' The noiso
was tremendous; in addition to the
wailing of somo 1,000 women In the
ZoBana, pit the no ware howling ml
beating thcit breasts. Thoy brought a
lot of jewels on th tray lo tha Ciuone)
which wero to be put upon tha oarpae;
a pair of far-ring, a beautifn! necklace,
and an anklet were, to be burnt with

tho body. Thenwt wero to be brought
back.' Th .Colfcndl's tierpiMoB .Wi
alno Asked to take 6,(MI0 tapae out nf
the treasury for distribution along the
road. About V o clock Hi tho morning
a lot of liahiiiins arrived and went
up pinto' tbo pitliico, aud shortly after
the body was brought" down, drelwed
up in full Court costumo and bedecked
with jewels. It was placed in a sort
of sedan chair in a sitting position,
covered with H cauopy of criuioo and
gold, anil thds boriio On tho shoulders
of a lot of Brahmins. The procession
was formed and wont off, Brat a guurd
of Rajpoots, then men carrying tho
6,000 rupees, then another guard, then
somo twenty or twirty torehholders
with lighted torches, then some men
with lighted caudles, then a whole
crowd of Brahmins, in the niidxt of
which was tho body borne aloll on
their shonLdor. Homo of thorn sprink
led the body with rose leaven and
flowers, others carried palm bronchos,
two others ono on each side, waved
long yak tails about to keep off the
flies, just as would have boon douo had
the Miibarnna been alive ; then came
the emblem of royalty, tho Jlinhoo
"Hooruj," or sun, tho red unibrellu, and
othor paraiihornalia. Tho wailiug as
soon as tho body was brought out in
sight of the crowd was tremendous.
The place of cremation, where nil
the royal tombs are, is a placo some
two milos outside the city wulls. The
whole populace followed thu body there
aud as soon as tho ceremony was over
everyanau was clean sliuved beard,
whiskers, inoustaeb, and even the hair
of the head. All Rajpoots wear very
long flowing whiskors, which thoy are
in the - habit of winding round their
oat's, and it must have been groat grief
to many a mau to cut them oil. 1 bore
is not a man in the country now with
any hair on his laco, and it gives them
the lunniest appearance possible. I
did not know luitny of the .officials
when I flint saw them. It was cer
tainly a most extraordinary sight, and
one that 1 mnv never see aimin. Tho
Maharuna of Oodeyponr is the Lead of
all the Hindoo in India, the direct uu
Bcendent of their great Kama, and
traces his decent for moro than fifteen
hundred years hack. I forget tho ex
act date at the present moment. ; Af
ter the procession had started the
Zenana women bocamo moro quiet;
one or two threatened to throw them
selves from a high window, to the great
terror of somo of tho chief nobles, who
begged the Colonel to pitch tents and
awnings under the window to break
their full, a request thet'olonel refused,
of course, as it would only havo tempted
them to do it at once, whcrais tho hurd

the young ones aro easily caught, as
they mostly keep by the body of their
mother and cry. llcr h(ltd, like that

where BO rupees are again paid, and
tho young ones aro taken to Calcutta.
The Journey on foot generally occupies
two or threo months. Tho change of

as with all the feline species, so that I
generally keen them In Calcutta until
It is over, and have them taken special
euro of. They ore Ihen secured in
cages and taken to Kurope. I have
sent 75 tigers to Europo out of 122
that have oecii caught. Tho Sultan
has lieen my best customer, mid he
has tho best specimens.
Titrors aro often cauirht in nits.
Wheu the track of a tiger has been
found (thoy go every evening by tho

covered with light boughs, and a
living goat tethered on it. Tho hunter
stands at a distance holding a string.

then dispatches him with a hall. .
Two years ago I received at Calcutta
dispatch from an acquaintance
ninety miles off, asking mo to come at

Tigers when they are not hungry are
frightened at the least' noise. Tho
gout woe bleating incessantly, and
soon Madam Tigress appeared with
three young ones no bigger than hares.
tv o kept perleeny quiet, ana in a lew
minutes heard a great crash, and
Peru, my boy, ran to ns, exclaiming,
"Sahib 1 Kahili! Itagh pinjura secheeta

pit, dying,) We hastened to tho spot,
and sure enough there was the tigress;
sho had lullen exactly npon the arrow,
tho point of which was a Bharp bayo
net, and all her struggles only made it
run further into her. Hhe wits dead in
about twenty minutes. We took tbo
cubs to tho house, where I remained
for tho night Tho next morning they
were put Into an empty brandy cask,
and 1 set off with them to Calcutta,
where I arrived in tho evenintr and
found my friends at dinner. They
lauguuu at me lor having returned so
soou, and said, . "Dinner is just over."
Hut just then a servant came in with
heavy dish and placed it on tho
table, When tho cover was taken off,
to the great astonishment of tho com
puny, the three young tigers sprang
out and ran about the table uttering
incessant cries. With great care 1
reared them nil and brought llieiu to
Kurope, , . ,, ,, ',, ., .. .
Last year I received a large tiger
from Assam, a splendid animal. When
ho was removed Irom ,tba track at
Calcutta, the floor of the cago got
broken, and the keepers let it tall on
its side ; tho tiger sprung out and set
ott in lull gallop down Jann tnuaar as
far as Circular road, where bo en
countered a steam roller. This fright
ened the croat uro so that he turned
short round, ran back the nam way,
and seeing th door ot the nou open,
ho ran in. Ho sprung over a tablo at
which four people wero sitting st
break fast, out at the back door, and
Into the Kitchen, VheTo he snt down
in tho corner. The cook ran out, bnt
had tho seme to shut the door after
him. A ftef two hours w managed to

When tho young tigers aro accus

are always tame, hut you must not

incredible bow many human beings
are devoured by thorn. A tiger gener

ICE HOUSES ABOVE GR0UXD-
' Knowing aW I do from long and ex
tensive experience how common pro
crastination is, 1 infer that there are
many iu various part of tho country
who intend to build an ice house to lie
filled the coming winter, and have not
oven provided the material for it up to
the present late day. for the benefit
of this unfortunate class, I would say
that 1 havo moro than ones been obliged
to fill an ice house and build it after
wards. I will explain this seemingly
paradoxical expression. 1 havo pre
pared a foundation, supplying proper
drainage ; built up a bulk of ice of the
required dimensions, and subsequently
enclosed It with the material forming
the bouse. Thestyleof house to which
I refer is built entirely shove ground.
This class of houses may be made to
preserve ico as well as those in the
ground. . Tbo cunimorciol houses of
the country are all built above ground.
All that is necessary is to build of
liberal dimensions ; provide drainage,
so that no water can stand under the
ice, in contact with it ; be sure and
tap tho drain; enclose the ice with
double walls of studs and board parti
tions, leaving at least 30 inches be
tween tho boards ; fill tho space with
dry sawdust or dry tanbark (the form
er is preferable), and pack it closely ;
build tho wulls at least one foot above
the top of the ice ; leave openings so
that air may circulate freely through
tho house, over the ice ; root so as to
exclude rain, aud bank around the
building with earth, so as to prevent
air from escaping from the house, under
or through the foundations ; and cover
the ice with not moro than 10 or 12
inches of dry sawdust No straw, tan,
sawdust, or other material, is required
under or between the layets of th ice.
1 usually make the floor, on which the
ice rests, of any rough wood, laid closely
on the earth. Neither stone nor brick
foundations are necessary. Klucks on
which to rest the sills, laid on the
ground properly leveled, are a good
foundation. Three by four-inch scant
ling are heavy enough for the sills,
studding and plates. Tho boards form
ing tbo double walls of siding, enclos
ing tho sawdust filling, should bo placed
on the outaida of the inner row of
studding, and on the iuner aido of the
outer row. When sided thus, very lit
tle nailing is required, as tho pressure
of tho dust on either side keeps the
board wall against the studding.
The dust should rest on a board floor
a few iuchos from the earth, that it
may not absorb moiety re from it
Half-inch bolts should be used to bolt
the inuer and outer rows of studding
together, to prevent the dust or other
filling from spreading thorn apart ; one
every four feet iu tho height of the
studs all that ia required.
The earth embankment all around
the building should be closely packed
against lite outer boards, and if it cau
be. conveniently obtained withost ex
cavating a trench around tho building,
it is better to avoid making a trench ;
but the water from the root; and that
which falls or flows around tba build.
fl(t, .llAnM IMNITft'Ml IWMk tl IfJ
good surface drainage. At is better to
project tho caves of the roof well, un
less gutter are provided, so that the
root water may not wash the embank
ed earth from tho building. Gutters
aro preferable. If the Ice house is con
spicuously located, so that it is essen
tial to give it more beauty of exterior
than that produced by exposing to
view tho exterior studding, it may be
sided on tho outer side ol tho outer
lino ot studding ; but there is no econ
omy iu depending on siding on the ex
terior of tho studding to support the
dust, fur as soou a the tho boards are
weakened bv decay Ibev burnt er? and
it is impossible to repair on account of.
the lulling dust ; but boards on the sides
of tho studding towards the dust will
sustain it until tney aro utterly decayed.
The door fur filling should extend
from sill to caves plate. No hinges are
required for the doors. There should
be tilled double rows of cleats on each
of the wide door jambs: between each
double row bill-boards should he loosely
inserted as tho filling of tho house ad
vances, and the spaco between them
should be finally with dust tbo, same
as me rcraainuur oi me wans. The
ic may be removed through the same
door by removing tho loose bords,and
the sawdust in the doorway should be
thrown in around the ice. As tho ico
melts next to tho walls tho space should
be kept filled with dry dust The fill
ing in the doorway should always bo
maintained one foot higher than the
bulk of ice. When the house is filled,
tho ico should ba so placed as to bo
highest in the centra, and should be so
kept throughout the season in which
it is used, that the melted draining
from its upper surface may flow off
towards the wall and thence to tho
floor, instead of filtering through the
main body of the mass of ice. This
precaution alone, when 1 have recom
mended its strict obsorvancc.has secured
the keeping of ice throughout tho sea
son in houses beforo considered worth
less. Too much covering material on
the ico in the house, particularly if it
bo allowed to ferment, is worsa than
too little. A dairy houso may be con
structed by the side of an Ice house ar
ranged as 1 havo recommended, and
the floor of the dairy bouse aood not
bo moro than two feet below tho sur
face of tho surrounding ground, and
the cold air from the Ice house ran be
ntilixod. J. Wilkirwrn In tht. Cmurn;

124,000, only 14,000 being saved. The
fire originated in the county Court
Houso, thirty-six feet distant which
with the store wss consumed. Tho
policy of Insurance had not, however,
reached them, and two days later it
came, forwarded by th agents of the
Underwriters, iue application lor
payment of the insurance was met
with a peremptory return! on tho
part of the companies, on tho ground
of fraud, and from that time forward
tho history of the case has been a
record of the most determined fight
for payment and an equally bitter
opposition. , , ,
Tho companies set up as a claim
of fraud, of arson, of overvaluation
of the goods. The court decided in
tavor ot plaintiffs for tho lull amount
claimed, costs and five per cent ad
ditional, "You Can't Come it over Mb.''

thought hurdly of it, and he muttered
hard words under his breath. Was
his wife awake? Would she notice ho
had been drinking beer?
Quietly as ho caino in, Mrs. Brown
heard him, for he was on her mind. He
stopped a moment at bis chamber door,
opened it iu his stocking feet, started,
und dropped his shoes, as she, sitting
up in bed, met him with :

you would never come: my head aches

minedly, as she jerked the bedclothes
and turned her back to him.

slept, saw that tho dinning-room was
comfortable, the table nicely set, and
ordered his favorite dish, seeing her
