apartments which -had- apparently been -made
ready for my reception ; and, so far as servants
were concerned, I wmisAiterally surrounded.
A Birder bearer (personal 'attendant or ; Indian

the khausamah took his departure, folloived

There is something peculiarly quaint about
the arrangement of European firrniture in
the - house of' a native gentleman. In the
house O 1 a European, the servants are, of

Humble Sahib. "The, gabarajah is very

A hookah is called for by the Reich ; and
then at least a dozen voices repeat the order ;
"Hookah' lao Sahib 'ke waste" (Bring a
hookah for the Sahib.) Presently the hookah
iN ,brougbt is rather a grand allhir,
but old, and has evidently belonged to some
Fairepean of extravagant "habits. Of course,
no native would smoke out of it (on the ground
of !caste,) and it is evidently kept for the use
!orthe Sahib logue."
While I am pulling away at the hookah, the
musahibs, or favorites of the Rajah, flatter
me, in very audibln whiopers. " How well he
smokes!" " What a fine forehead ho has!"
"And his eyes! how they sparkle!" "No
wonder he' is so clever!" "He will be
Governor-General some day; , "khuda_kurin!"
(God will have it so.)

Governor-General, you will be a friend to the

shee!"'
llfoenshee (who is close at hand). "Malta
raj, Protector of the Poor." .
Native Rajah. " Bring the petition that I
have laid before the Governor-General."
The moonsheo produces the petition; and,
at the instance of the Rajah, reads, or rather
sings it aloud. The Rajah listens with plea
sure to its recital of his own wrongs, and I
affect to be astounded that so much injustice
can possibly exist. During my rambles in
India, I have been the guest of some scores
of rajahs, great and small ; and I neVer knew
ono who had not a grievance, He had either
been wronged by the Government, or by some
judge, whose decision had been against
In the matter of the Government, it was a
sheet' love of oppression that led to the evil
of which he complained i • in the matter of the
judge, that functionary had been bribed by the
other party.
It was with' great difficulty that I kept my
eyes open while the petition—a very long one
—was read_ aloud. Shortly alter •it was
finished, I eraved permission to retire, and
was conducted by a bearer to a sleeping-room,
in the centre of which was a huge bedstead--
a four-poster—but devoid of curtains. On ei
ther side were large looking-glasses in gilt
frames ; not suspended ,on the walls, but
placed against them. Over the bed was a
punkah, which was immediately set in motion.
Tho movement of time punkah served a double
purpose. It,cooled the room and drove away
the musquitoes. Having thrbwn myself on
the bed, the bearer who was in attendance in
quired if I would be shampooed ? This was a
luxury to which I was always partial; and,
having signified that I desired it, four men
wore shouted for. Each took an arm or a leg,
and began to press it, and crack the knuckle
joints of my fingers and toes. This continued
for an hour, when I tell asleep, and did' not
wake until eight o'clock on the following
morning; when I was waited upon by the
khamiamah, whd wished to know my pleasure
with respect to 'breakfast. He informed me
that he had , g Futntint and Meesum's," York
shire pie, game pie, anchovy toast, mutton
chop, steak, sardines—in short, all that the
sahib logue were accustomed to take for
breakfast.
My breakfast over' and my hookah'smoked,
I lighted a sheroot, and walked out into a
verandah, where I was soon joined by some of
the Maharajah's favorites and dependants,
who poured into my ear a repetition of the
flattery to which I had listened on the previ
ous night. It is not very tedious when you
become Used to it, and know that it is a mat
ter of course, and is applied ,to every Europe
an guest of any real or supposed importance.
Whilst thus engaged, smoking and listening, I
was joined by the Maharajah, who held in his
hand the Delhi Gazelle, the Mofussilite and the
Calcutta Englishman. Of their entire con
tents he had been made acquainted by -a half
caste, whom ho kept (so he informed me) for
the sole purpose of translating, orally, into
Hindeostance, • The Indian journals and the
Government gazettes, published in the English
language. There was no occasion for me to
read these papers, for the Maharajah gave
MC a very accurate restun6 of them ; hav
ing done this, he asked mo to play a game
of billiards 1 lam not a bad billiard player ;
on the contrary, I have the vanity to think
that I play remarkably well ; but it was evi
dent to me that the Maharajah did not play his
best, and that he suffered mo to beat him as
easily as did—simply out of what he con
sidered to be politeness. All the while we
were playing, the favorites or courtiers of the
Maharajah were praising us both. Neither
of us made a stroke, good or bad, that did not
bring down a shower of compliments. Illy
impression is, that if I had run a cue, and cut
the cloth at the same time, the bystanders
would have shouted in praise of my skill and
execution. I had- already seen enough of
native character to know exactly how I was
to act. I feigned to be charmed with my
success—childishly charmed. Whilst I was
thus (to the delight of my host) ostensibly
revelling in my triumph, the marker—a na
tive, a Ilindoo—took up a cue, and began to
knock the balls about. lie cannoned all over
the table,
went in off the red and white,
screwed back under the cushion, and, in
short, did whatever he pleased, and with per
fect CABO;
I could not help expressing to the Rajah
my astonishment at the Hindoo marker's skill,
whereupon ho informed me that, when he was
a mere boy, he had been taught by the best
player (an officer in the Light Cavalry) that
ever came to "India, and that for several years
past he had been marker at various mess-rooms
where billiards were played. The name of this
Hindoo Jonathan was Runjeet. He was six
and-twenty years of age, about five feet five in
height; remarkably slhn, bad a very handsome
face, and eyes full of fire and spirit. Ile was
for a long time marker to the Horse Artillery
mess at Meerut, where I once saw him play a
gaine with an officer celebrated for his skill.
Runjeet gave his adversary sixty points out of
a hundred, and won-easily. What with his pay,
or salary, the presents he received from gen-
Heinen to whom he taught the game, and the
gold mohurs, that he occasionally had given to
him when he won bets for his backers, Runjeet
was in possession of some six hundred pounds
a-year ; but he was so extravagant in his habits
that he spot t every anna, and died, I was told,
"not worth money enough to buy the wood to
burn him."
The Maharajah, on leaving the billiard-I
room, invited me to accompany him to Cawn
pore. I acquiesced, anti the carriage was
ordered. The carriage was English built—a
very handsome landau—and the horses were
English horses: but the harness! It was
country-made, of the very commonest kind,
and worn out—for one of the traces was a
piece of rope. The coachman was filthy in
his dress, and the whip that lie carried in his
hand *as an old broken buggy-whip, which
some European gentleman must have thrown
away. On the box, on either side of the
coachman, sat a warlike retainer, armed with
a sword and a dagger. In the rumble were
two other retainers armed in the same manner.
Besides the Rajah and myself, there were
three others '(natives and relatives of the
Rajah). in the vehicle. On the road, the
Rajah talked incessantly, and, amongst other
things that he told me, was this, in reference
to the praises that I bestowed on his equi
page:
Not long ago, I had a carriage and horses
very superior to these. They cost the twenty.
five thousand rupees; but I had to burn the
carriage and kill the horses."
ci Why so 7"
"The child of a certain Sahib in Cawnpore
was very sick, and the Sahib and • the Memsa
hib were bringing the child to Bhitoor for a
change of air. I sent my big carriage for
them. On the road the child died, and, of
course, - as a dead body had been in the car
riage, and as the horses bad drawn that dead
body in that carriage, I could never use them
again." The reader must understand that a
native of any rank considers it a disgrc
sell property.
(i But could you not have gives the hot
some friend—a Christian or a Mussuirne
"No; had I done so, it might hay
to the knowledge of the Sahib, and his f
would have been hurt at having occasio
such a loss."
Such was the Maharajah, commonly
as Nena Sahib. He appeared to be nol

that he smoked hemp in the anima of his

It was half-past five o'clock when we arrived
at Gawnpore. The officers, civil and military,
and their wives, were just coming out for their
evening drive on the mall. Some were in car
riages, some in buggies, some on horseback.
Everyimul saluted the Maharajah, who returned
the salute according to Eastern fashion—rais
ing the,hands to the forehead. Several gentle
men approached the carriage when it was drawn
up near the band-stand, and inquired after the
Maharajah'S health. Ile replied that it wad
good; and then introduced me to them in the
Ibllowing manner, and in strict accordance
with the letter ho had received from Luckn ow :
"This Sahib who 'sits near me is a great friend
'of •the Governor-General, and. is a relation of
allthe members of council — l a constant guest
of the Queen of England," (then came this
addition of his own) and of both Houses of
Parliament." I need scarcely say that I
wished my Lucknow friends had not covered
'me with such recommendations; for, where
ever we went, and to whomsoever we spoke—
no matter whether it was an European shop-

keeper or an official magnate of Cawnpore—
rwas doomed to heir, "This Sahib who sits
(or stands) near me is a great friend," &c.,
&c. Having exhibited me sufficiently in
Cawnpore, the heads of the horses were
. _
turned towards Bhltoor, and we were dragged
along the, road at, a slow pace, for the
animals were extrepely fatigued. The na
tives of India have no mercy on their cattle,
especially their horses. During the ride
back, I was again bored with the Rajah's
grievance • and, to quiet him—for he became
very ,much excited—l was induced to pro
mise that I would talk to the Governor-General
and the Council on the subject ; and that if I
did not succeed in that quarter, I would, on
my return to England, take the earliest op
portunity , c some day, quietly, after dinner"
(this was Ids suggestion), of representing to
her Majesty the exact state of the case, and
that an adopted son of a llindoo was entitled
to all the rightal and privileges of an heir
born of the body. I furthermore promised
him most solemnly that I would not speak to
the Board R. Control, or to the Privy Council
on the !Abject; for the Maharajah assured
me that he had the most positive proof that
both these institutions had taken bribes from
the hand of the East India Company in re
spect of his claim. On probing him, how
ever, I discovered that his positive proof was
a letter from a villainous agent in England,
who had written' to him to say that (< the
Company had bribed the Board of Control and
the Privy Council, and that if his Highness
expected to succeed, he must bribe over the
head of the Company. Three lams (thirty
thousand pounds) would do it all."
The Maharajah gave a nautch (native dance
by women) that night.
On the following morning I awoke with a
very bad head-ache, and in a philosophic
mood. The various perfumes which had been
sprinkled over my dress had somewhat over
powered me, and it may have been that the
Story told me in whispers by one of the three
slaves, who came to sing me to sleep, had dis
ordered my imagination, I was told that two
women of rank were kept in a den not far
from my apartments, and treated like wild
beasts; and a third--a beautifnl young crea
ture—had recently been "bricked up in a
wall," for no other fault than attempting to
escape.
After breakfast, the Rajah showed me his
elephants, his camels, his hoists, 1118 dogs,
his pigeons, his falcons, his wild asses, his
apes, his aviary full of birds, and all the rest
of his curiosities. Then he exhibited his
guns and pistols—by Purdy, Egg, and other
celebrated makers—his swords and his dag-
gers, of every country and age, and when he
had observed that he was very happy, under
the influence of some stimulant recently
imbibed, I took an opportunity of discours
ing on the vanity of human wishes, and
especially with reference to his Highness's
grievance. I translated many sentiments of
Juvenal and Horace into Hindoostance ; but,
I regret to say, they had no effect on Nona
Sahib.
