nobody seemed to care , and those 1'elti'o

spent her money freely upon any one

In her excitement as spoke

for fear.
uitv gave mo new cause
Wo had organized a liter
ary club for the study of the
French classics under Mile. Felice's
BUpcrvinion. She herself road with a
purity of accent and power of expression
which made our olTorts mere travesties ,
of eours-o , and she possessed one of those
beautiful , low-nltolicd voices which one
never tires of listening to. 13ut we were
all amazed when one evening she throw
aside the volume of Uacine from which
wo had been reading , and rising , began
reciting , in the most wonderful , impas-
bioncd manner , some pansago from ' 'Adri-
cnno Locmivrour. " I cannot recall the
words , but it was where Adrieiine is llrst
made to believe in her lover's treachery.
Wo were spellbound. Fleming , who was
half reclining on u low seat in one
of his Hamlet attitudes , looked
first atnus-cd and then bewildered , and
fixed his eloquent eyes upon Felice tc
the very last word.
" 1 would riot have believed ' ' he
began , as if to himself , and then added
'
warmly. "Mn'ambcllc , that was superb !
Police fixed upon him one of her in
tense side glances-a bitter smile camt
to her face.
"You would have said you did not biv
llcvo it was in mo , " she said in hoi
quaint , rapid way. "You are right , Mr ,
Fleming. There is nothing in mo ,
That was mere imitation. I have heard
Hti"hcl and other great artists imui }
times. "
Fleming colored slightly but made in
attempt , to apologize for his rudeness. 1
taw. however , that he followed Felici
with his eves for the rest of that even
ing , and always with that look of wonder
dor , or bewilderment.
After this , under one pretext or another -
other , ho began to seek her society. Jit
Bang very well , and suddenly discovered
that ho wing better with Felice's accom
paniment. Then he wished to converse
In French always homo selfish motive
you perceive ; but Felice never seemed
to notice that. She scorned incapable ol
resisting bin influence in anything , or ol
refusing any request ho might make ,
except that , after that one evening , IK
one , not even Fleming , could persuade
her to recite for us again.
A wonderful change began to come
over Felice. As she came to mo some
times alter a walk or a ride with Flem
ing , and jtressed her cool , soft check
against mine , I wondered if this sniilin.fi
girl , with the pink Hush cm her face , the
light in her strange , pathetic ej'cs , could
bo the plain , impassive-looking , elderlj
young woman wo had called Mile
Felice. Her very step , and voice , am :
carriage had ultored
Matters continued so for some weeks ,
One evening Felice came to my room ,
ami threw herself down at my1 side ' , bury
ing her glowing face in my lap. I waf
euro from her manner that bomethinj.

"Helen ! " she said at last , raising hoi
face and Hinging her arms about mo
"Helen , I am so happy ! If happinesi
could kill , I should die ! Ah , ma cherie
you will not believe ill You cannot ! ]
can scarcely believe it myself , but it is
true ! My God. it is true ! Ho loves
mo ! "
A sharp pang went through mo at hot
words.
"I suppose you mean Caryl Fleming , '
I enid , with an unrcsponsivonoss she lint
not expected. She looked at mo an in
slant , then laughed a laugh thrillec
through and through with cc&tacy.
"Certainly I mean Caryl Fleming , '
she said.
"Did he toll you so ? " I persisted
Felice rose to her feet , and looked at mi
with a puzzled , pitying smile.
"Did he tell mo soy'1 she repeated
softly. "In words ? No. I bollovo not
But in a thousand other ways , yo.am
tonight , tonight , Helen , ho took mo ii
his arms and kissed mo again anc

For an American or English girl sucl
frankness would bo impossible. In Folici
It seemed only natural and fitting. The
fervor and ualvoto of her manner robboc
her speech of all unwomanlincss 01
strangeness , but in my heart of hearts
trembled for Felice.
However , for a time Fleming's devotion
tion seemed absolute. Outside of thoi
recitation rooms they wore always together
gother , riding , walking or singing.
The brief southern winter , durinj
which nature merely turns a coli
shoulder flpon us for a time , was over
and again she was smiling with all th <
glow and tender ness of spring. I kcp
up my solitary walks and rides , some
times coming upon Felice and her lover
she looking absorbed and radiant , } \ <
languid , and , 1 fancied at last , more thai
a trifle bored. Apparently his latest c.x
porimcnt was losing its piquancy. I win
not surprised , therefore , when Folici
began at last dropping into my roou
evenings in the old way.
One evening she had been lying for i
long time upon the lounge , her eye
fixed upon the ceiling , whore the lam ]

"You do not play for Mr. Fleming thi
ove-ning ? "
"No , " she answered. "Mr. Fleminj
has a cold and headache -and letters t <

with long pauses , as if answering som <
doubt or questioning within horsoll
rather than my own. I naked no furthe
questions. I would force no confidence
Fleming withdrew himself more am
more. He had no time for musid. II
was writing for northern magazines no\
ho was a clover follow , with a happ
turn for writing and , like the rest ei
the teachers , the approaching clos
of the school year gave him muol
extra work. Indeed , we wore all al
eorbed in additional duties , both teacher
and pupils the former forced to super
human exertions by Dr. Bellamy's en
nine watchfulness and persistence , th
latter nervous and apprehensive , o
eulkv * and Impertinent , as the casomlgh
bo.
In a word , wo wore nil wrought up t
the artificial and unwholesome stat
common to such crises , and I am afral
that under the stress brought to boa
upon mo I was oven unmindful for
time of the change that was again con

But ns I was one day standing in th
hall with Fleming , diecusgin
uoino point concerning the arrang *
jradnts jor the approaching ej
amlnntlon , Police panned by UH , her
head hold very high , her long black
dross trailing.her hands clenched against
her side. The whltenes ! ) of her face
struck me.
"Ma'amnelle Felice In looking badly , "
I said to Fleming. "She misses her ac
customed rides and walks. " Fleming
languidly regarded a rose In his button
hole.
"Whv deed she not ride , or walk ,
then ? " ho inquired in the most IndilTer-
out of voices.
"She Is perhaps waiting for the com
pany of her fiance , ' ' I answered , betray
ing , I do not doubt , a good deal of heat.
Fleming raided his eyes from the rose ,
'
and looked at mo with tin affectation'of
mild surprise.
"Ah , Indeed ! " ho said , "I was not
aware that Ma'amsello was engaged.
Who. I beg , may the fortunate man bo ? "
"You are even more cruel and b.iso
than I thought ! " 1 said , turning away
tndiinmntly. Fleming laughed snftly.
"Why do young women bcc.mio hys
terical on the slightest provocation ? ' ' 1
heard him remark.
I found Felice standing at Dr. Holla-
my's door , which was opposite my own.
engaged in earnest e mversalion with that
gent Ionianboth evidently in great excite
ment , although ho was smiling Ills most
glittering and unpleasant smile.
"No ! " Police was saying rapidly , with
many gestures. "No ! Hay what you
will , I will not give her one more
lesson ! "
"Hut your reason , Ma'am elle ? " I
heard Dr. Bellamy say as I closed my
door. "If Miss Triplett has been im
pertinent "
"Impertinent ! " cried Police. "No ,
slio would not dare. Hut I give her no
more lessons , tout lo memo. Imperti
nent ! Mon Dleu , her very existence is
an impertinence to mete mo ! " And
she swept away contemptuously.
Police had her way hero , and Miss
Trlplott was excused from her music
lessons for the remainder of the term.
This occasioned some gossip among the
girls , who spoke unreservedly before
mo. Perhaps , because I was myself
young , and they felt safe with me. There
was some girlish dialling of Miss Trip
lett , in which Fleming's name was men
tioned. She made no retort , but a faint
pink crept over her creamy skin , and
she kept her long , soft eyes downcast ,
slowly turning a ring on one of her fine ,
dimpled lingers. She smiled faintlytoo.
She had a smile that would have won St.
Anthony from his coll.
All through the following days of toil
and worry and excitement Felice
avoided mo. Oltcn I stole to her door
when the house was quiet for the night ,
and tapped softly , calling her name ,
but she did not. or would not , hoar me.
One warm night along in June , find
ing it impossible to sleep , I rose and sat
by the window. All at once I heard my
name whispered softly through the key
hole. It was Police's voice. I rose and
lot her in. She wore a long white wrap
per , and her hair was all about her
shoulders.
"Police , " I said , "you look as if you
might bo the ghost that haunts the ver
andas. "
"Ghost ! " she repeated. "What do you
mean ? " '
"Oh. " I laughed , "tho servants
swear that a ghost haunts the verandas
and not one of them will budge from the
door after night fall. "
Fclico stood still a moment us if in
thought.
"That interests me , that ghost. " she
said presently , with a shrug of her
shoulders ; " 1 would like to mcet t. Do
you know when I am dead I will bo a
ghost , too. It must bo a great consola
tion , that. " She laughed bitterly under
her breath and began walking about the
room. She wont to my table and bent
over the llowors upon it.
"Oh , too sweet , " she snid. "It la not
good for you , my dear ; there is poi&ou in
too much sweetness. "
I noticed that her hand wandered
among my papers for a moment , and
then wont quickly to her bosom. A tor-
wards I remembered this.
She came to the window and looked
out into the warm , fragrant , starlit
darkness.
"It is near the hour for ghosts to
walk , " she said , after a moment or two ;
"what if wo might see one. "
The ignorant gossip of the black ser
vants seemed to have impressed her
curiously ; she lingered a short time , and
then went away. I watched her little
figure trailing down the corridor
with feelings of pain and un
easiness , and though I wont
again to bed I could not sloop.
I rose and put the flowers out on the
window ledgo. and as I did so I fancied I
saw a white figure blip into the dark
ness of the long veranda that ran along
the back building. I dismissed the
thought as a nervous fancy , but I simply
could not lie down. I opened my door
noiselessly long practice had rendered
us all adopts at this and looked and lis
tened intently. It scorned to mo that I
could hoar a faint , sound of opening and
closing doors or windows below , and to
my wrought up senses the dark passages
seemed full of Hitting shapes and airy
whispers. I crept along to Police's door.
It was open and the room was empty.
But us I stood there wondering she came
swiftly through the corridor and into
her room. She did not start at seeing
me , but seized my wrist in her cold lin
gers , and began laughing softly and
hysterically. I touched her dross. It
was wet with dow , as was her loose dark
hair.
"Where have you been ? " I asked
hastily.
"I have boon ghost-hunting , " she said.
"It is great fun , ma chore. "
"Then it was you I saw on the
veranda , " I impulsively said. Fclico
started.
"On the veranda ? No , I was not on
the veranda. What have you soon ? "
"It was nothing , I suppose. 1 merely
fancied 1 saw something. "
"Very good , " bald Police. "It is like
a play , this night. It is the third act.
The denouement will bo very fine , that
Is certain. "
She began laughing again. I did not
llko her voice or her manner , but I loft
her , after inducing her to go to bed.
The next day was the first of the pub
lic exorcises which were to close the
school year. The little town was over
flowing with guests , and every spare
room at the hall was filled with parents
or relatives of the graduating class. I
had feared that Folico would bo unable
to fulfil her arduous duties ; out she ap
peared at breakfast looking no paler
than usual , and was if anything rather
more voluble and witty.
A few moments before 0 o'clock I stood
on the veranda surrounded by the girls
of my class in their white gala dresses ,
waiting for the sound of the organ
which was to bo the signal for our on-
tranco. Fleming and Dr. Bellamy were
already upon the platform , and the scats
assigned to the spectators were more
than filled. Near mo stood Miss Srip-
lott , calm and unconcerned amid her
agitated , expectant schoolmates. The
was dressed In the finest white mull ,
and her throat and bare arms wore
wreathed in the feathery foliage and
yellow blossoms of the jessamine , which
also shone starliko in her soft , dark hair.
She hold in her hand a hugo bouquet ol
yellow roses. She was the dullest girl in
thoclas3and the loust popular.but no one
could have denied that she was one ol
the most beautiful creatures under the
sun ,
All at once Felice came along the
verundn cm her way to the organ. Shi
started at night of Mian Trlplolt , and
stopping before her looked at her with a
strange , uncanny smile. Small , hag *
gard , badly dressed , she wtw a sorry con
trast to that tall and lovely daughter of
the south , in her oxqulslto flower
wreathed attire. 1 saw a kind of shiver
pa fl through her as flho looked , and
suddenly she put one of her hands on the
proud beauty's spotless arm.
" ' ! " she
"Bon jour , Ma'omsolle Trlplott
said , speaking readily In French. "I
hope you have slept well ! No bad
dreams , no phantoms , eh ? " She had
begun speaking In her mm vest tones ,
but before she finished her
voice had a harsh , almost llorco , sound.
The girl withdrew her arm haughtily ,
and answered coldly in the same lan
guage :
"Morel , Mnfnm ollc , I have slept well ,
and I never dream. "
Felice gave a short laugh and parsed
on. A moment afterwards the stirring
notes of the "Wedding March" pealed
from the organ , and the exorcises began.
Tin co days of incessant excite
ment and absorbing work followed ,
and on the third and last even
ing the house and grounds wore
thrown open to visitors. When
the crowd was greatest , I succeeded in
stealing away , with the intention of en
joying tlio "luxury of an hour's rest ,
when in one of the corridors 1 mot Dr.
Bellamy.
"I am looking for Mn'nnibollc Felice , "
he said with evident impatience. "There
are strangers who wisli to hear her. "
"Have you been to her room"l asked.
"Certainly. She is not there. Per
haps , " ho added , "sho is on the lawn
with with Fleming. "
I said I would look for hor. It was a
relief to Hud myself in the open air , and
I walked nb'iut the grounds for some
time , mooting many youthful couples
for on this occasion discipline was relaxed
and the young ladies could indulge
for once in the privilege of llirta-
tion but I nowhere saw Felice. In a
remote part of the lawn I came upon
Fleming and Miss Triplett. I went di
rectly up to him , and said :
" 1 am looking for Ma'amsello Felice.
Have you , perhaps , scon her ? "
"I have not , indeed , " lie answered
coolly.
I returned to the house and went to
Police's room. She was there , now.
She had thrown herself upon her bed.
A sorrowful , piteous figure she made in
her soiled evening dress of blue bilk ,
wreathed with torn and rumpled arti
ficial roses. The long trail was wet and
soiled from contact with the grass of the
lawn , her white shoes soaked through
and through ,
"Felice , " I said , "Dr. Bellamy is look
ing for you. " She made no answer.
Her face was buried upon her arms.
"Como , " I said , trying to raise her.
"You must not give way to this Whore
is your pride , I'Ylicc ? Will you lot that
man see your misery ? Ho is unworthy
of your love wholly unworthy. "
Still no answer.
Dr. Bellamy came to the door , but I
sent him away. Then I removed Felice's
tawdry evening dress , and prepared her
for retiring. She gave herself into my
hands without resistance or appeal , like
a tired child. Poor Folico how wasted
wore her slender limbs , how cold
and trembling her small , child
like hands. I went to my
room for my dressing-gown , and came
back to her , for I dared not leave her
alone , I turned the gas very low and
lay down by her side , and there wo lay.
while the laughter and music came lip
to us from below. Folico lay ns if
asleep , or dead , except once , when Flem
ing's voice , singing "O ma chnrmante , "
came floating up alone , so sweet , so
tender , so impassioned. Then a long ,
shuddering breath escaped her and her
cold fingers closed tightly upon my hand.
At last wo hoard the guests depart
ing. Carriage after carriage rolled
away. The inmates of the hall dis
persed to their rooms with much talk
and laughter. Doors and windows
wore closed and silcnco fell. After
an interval , Dr. Bellamy's slippered
tread was hoard , and then followed per
fect silence.
Worn out physically and mentally , I
foil into a deep sleep from which 1
started all at once with a sudden sharp
sense of fear. I turned to Felice. She
was not beside mo , nor in the room. I
rose and wont out into the hall , and
listened intently. I was sure at last that
I heard a slight rasping bound from
bolow. I groped my way through the
hall to the stairs and down thorn into
the abysmal dtvi knoss of the lower pas-
sagos. At the foot of the stairs I listened
again , and this time I heard a faint
b'mnd from the direction of one
of the recitation rooms. This
room was for Fleming's exclu
sive use. It was situated directly oppc-
sitc his apartments , and gave also upon
the veranda. Toward this room made
my way , with no other object than to
find Folico and save her from evil I did
not. know what.
I reached the door , and pushed it
gently. It opened without noise. At
the same instant there came the sound
of a match struck against the wall , and
in the brief illumination which followed
I distinctly saw three figures that of
Fleming , holding in his arms a tall ,
girlish figure in a white dress , and that
of Felice , wrapped in a long black cloak ,
advancing swiftly toward thorn. Then
came utter darkness again ; a swift rush ,
a succession of piercing screams , a
struggle , a wild laugh , a fall ,
and Fleming's voice calling for help.
I must have answered him for the next
moment ho said :
"Is that you , Miss Charles ? For God's
sake bring a light something terrible
has happened ! "
But there was no need. Already
stops and voices wore in-the hall , and
Dr. Bellamy appeared upon the thresh
old with a candle in his hand.
"What in heaven's name "hobogun ,
but stopped suddenly , stricken with
amazement , horror and anger. Miss
Triplet ! lay in his nephew's arms in
sensible , with blood flowing over
her white gown. Fleming was bond
ing over her uttering wild' words of
tenderness. In a dark corner crouched
Police , gesticulating and muttering in
coherently.
"What does this moan , Caryl ? " cried
his undo , but Fleming paid no atten
tion. Ho carried the insensible girl
across into his own room , and laid her
upon a couch.
"Let some one go for a doctor , quick ! "
ho said to the group of teachers , pupils ,
and guests which had gathered about
the door. The girl's mother had already
appeared , and was moaning and wring
ing her hands helplessly , while Fleming
had turned back the IOOBO sleeve and
bound his handkerchief over the
wounded arm.
I alone wont to Folico , still cowering
and muttering in the corner , and I saw
that her fingers still clasped a small
dagger which I recognized as mino. She
made no resistance as I attempted to
raise her , but as I led her Into the
hall , and Fleming , bonding over the
still motionless form of Miss Triplott ,
became visible , she uttered a cry more
dreadful than any sound I ever heard ,
and foil to the floor as If dead.
What followed I recall only as some
thing I have dreamed or road of. I re
member seeing Folico carried up to her
room , and that some ono brought mo to
my own , and laid mo upon my bod. The
next day I was required to tell what I
had witnessed. I was not allowed to see
Felico at flrst , but as I uoggcd so ur
gently Dr. Bellamy took me himself to
her room. 1 fnuml her in charge of two
strong black women , and two or three
physicians wore present. Felico sat
upon the sldol iof her bed. her linndH
bound togelhori her Blonder fingers
twining and untwining thumsolvos with
a terrible restlessness. Her face was
utterly eolorl sn , and rigid , and blank
a death mask. I poke to her , but she
would not notfatv mo. She continued to
mutter to horseilf in her own tongue. I
caught some words I had heard her re
peat so often
"Quand'on ' tout perdu ,
Qiiami on n'n plus d'cspnlr ,
Tout | > erdu-tilii9 | d'cspolr. "
Felice wan hopelessly mad.
There was silence In my room.
Blanche's face was hidden in my lap ,
and I think she was sobbing a little.
Hachel sat gazing at the lire , her heavy
brows drawn together , her mouth stonily
set and looking altogether like a girlish
Nemesis with the little dagger gleaming
amid the folds of her dark dress. Fanny ,
however , nt calmly stroking her bronze-
brown hair , whoso splendid length she
had drawn forward over her arm. and
was holding out to catch the firelight.
"Well ? " she said at last.
"Well ! " I repeated.
"Aren't you going to tell us the rest ? "
"Isn't that enough ? "
"Enough ! " said Fanny with indigna
tion. "Wo want to know what became
of that horrid girl. "
" ! " said Rachel in
"And Fleming , a
fierce undertone.
"And Felice , " added Blanche in a
smothered voice.
"Tlio 'horrid girl' was only slightly
wounded. She wont homo with her
nrithor the same day. But why do you
call her horrid ? She could not help
being beautiful and fascinating , you
know. "
"I bate her all the same , " said Funny.
"Go on , there's u dear. "
"Fleming followed her soon , and they
wore married in a short time. Ho be
came professor in a southern college ,
and later was an ollicor in the c mfed-
ertito army , and was , I believe , killed in
battle. Felice never reovored. I went
to see her years afterwards at the asy
lum to which she was carried. She was
sitting upon the edge of her bed , weav
ing her lingers in and out and muttering
to herself incessantly. Her hair was
quite white , and her face had the same
dead , blank look. She showed no sign
of recognition , and I had to leave her as
I found her. "
Again there was silence in the room.
All at once the clock began striking the
midnight hour. The old year was dead.
One by one the girls rose and bade mo
"Good night and a Happy Now Year , "
and I was left alone by my dying lire.
THE EAGLE REPLACED.
An Intrrnntloniil Incident In Honolulu la
ISO I.
In April , 1803 , says the Now York
Sun , Dr. James McBride of Lafayette ,
Ore. , was appointed as United States
minister to the Hawaiian islands by
President Lincoln. Soon after going
there ho had the American coat of arms
placed over the entrance to the Ameri
can legation.
In 1SU ( an English man-of-war stopped
at Honolulu , having on bntirel two cadets
in the English navy , both sous of poors.
One of thorn , Lord Charles Boresford , is
now high in the service. This was dur
ing the war of the rebellion , when Eng
land was rather unfriendly to the United
States , and nmnv Englishmen wore in
clined to think that the Unstcd States
government was of no special consequence -
quonco and was practically destroyed.
One night Lord Charles Boresford and
his friend , in order to show their con
tempt for tlio United States government ,
went to the American legation , tore
down Dr. McBrido's coat of arms , and
hired a native to row them with it into
the bav whore their ship was anchored.
On learning next morning that the
coat of arms was missing , the American
minister instituted a search , and soon
found the native who had taken it to
the ship. A search warrant was pro
cured and the coal of arms brought back
by an oilicor. The commandant of the
man-of-war and tlio English minister at
Honolulu immediately called on the
American minister and ofl'orcd an apol
ogy in tlio name of their govern
ment for the insult which had been
offered. After having mudo tlioir apol
ogy , they stated that they supposed
this was satisfactory , and that they had
atoned for the offense. The American
minister informed them that this was
not satisfactory , that those two young
lords , who were olllcors of the B.-itish
government , had not only cjinmltted a
theft , but had by tlioir act insulted the
government represented by him. Ho
further said that , having taken down the
coat of arms with their own bunds , ho
would not bo satisfied until they them
selves put it back whore they got it. At
this the English minister and command
ant vehemently protested , baying that
such a demand was humiliating and dis
graceful and could not be complied with.
The American minister , however , in
sisted on a compliance with his demand ,
saying that the disgrace consisted
in the act of stealing tlio
coat of arms , and that nothing
short of this would bo considered repar
ation for their offense. After consider
able diplomatic correspondence and
some delay the English minister agreed
to comply with the demand of Di\ Mc
Bride , and the latter mentioned tlio
next noon as the time when the coat of
arms should bo replaced.
It was soon noised about Honolulu
that the two young moi ) wore to replace
the coat of arms the next day at 1-
o'clock. When the time came thou
sands of people from the city and sur
rounding country wore there to witness
tlio ceremony. A sketch was made
of the two young men while in the act of
nailing the coat of arms to the archway
over the entrance to the American
legation. On the loft hand side of the
picture , as the reader views it , are stand
ing from right to left the English min
ister facing tlio gate , and the American
minister , with n ilk hat on , facing from
the gate and talking lo the commandant
of the English man-of-war beside him.
After the coat of arms had been re
placed the two young men came to the
American minister and apologized for
their conduct , saying that they did not
stop to think what an insult they were
offering to the American government.
This ended the matter in the islands.
The American minister then reported
all the facis to Secretary Soward. The
latter demanded an apology from the
English government , which was made.
The two young men were called homo
and were dismissed from the English
navy lor five years. Lord Charles
Borosford has since won distinction in
the English navy. Ho commanded the
landing force at Alexandria in 1BS1' .
Another incident relating lo Ibis affair
may bo worth mentioning : The king of
the Sandwich islands at the time was
Knmehamoha V. Ho was very favorable
to English Influences in the islands and
lot It bo known that ho was personally
displeased because the American inlnU-
tor compelled the Englishmen to

few weeks after this , when the
American minister went to the palace
to make Ills usual official visit , the king ,
evidently with the design of Insulting
him , sent word that ho was engaged.
The American minister returned word
that ho was there in official capacity and
desired an interview. The king sent
word again that ho was engaged and
could not bee him. The minister again.
sent word that ho was there as a repro-
Bcntatlvo of bin government and In
tended to stay until he- did tvo him. The
king then appeared , but in a very nerv
ous and oxclted state ; but no reference
was Hindu to any dlttoi-oneex , and the In
terview passed olT pleasantly , and their
relations continued thereafter agree

The grand dilllculty of talking to an
Englishman about India is that he til-
wuvs forms u picture of the place In his
mind , says the L-mdon Spectator. It
may be accurate or inaccurate , but it is
always a picture. Ho thinks ol it either
as a green delta , or a series of sunbaked
plains , or a wild region with jungle and
and river and farms all intermixed , or a
vast park stretched out by nature for
sportsmen , and sloping somehow at the
edges toward highly cultivated plains.
It never occurs to him that us legurds
oxtonml aspect there is no India ;
that the peninsular , so called , is as
largo as Europe we-a of the Vistula , and
represents a many variations of scenery.
East Angliti is not so different from
Italy as Iho Northwest provinces from
Bengal , nor are Iho Ltuules so unlike
Normandy as the Punjab is unlike the
hunting districts of Madras. There is
every scene in India , from the eternal
snow of the Himalayas , us much above
Mount Blanc aMount Blanc is above
Geneva , to the rico swamps of Bengal ,
all buried In fruit trees : from the won
derful valleys of Iho Vindhyn , where
beauty and fertility seem to struggle
consciously for the favor of man , to the
God-forgotten salt marshes by the Run n
of Cutch.
It is the sumo with indigenous Indian
society. The Englishman thinks of it
as an innumerable crowd of timid
peasants , easily taxed and governed by a
few officials , or as a population full of
luxurious princes , with difficulty rc-
slrained by scientific force and careful
division from eating up ouch other. In
reality , Indian s ( ciety is more complex
and varied than thai of Europe , com
prising , il is Iruo , ti hugo mass of peas
ant proprietors , but yet full of princes ,
who arc potentates and princes who are
survivals of landlords , who are in all
respects great nobles and landlords who
are only squireens , of great eceleiaslio
and hungry curates , of merchants like
the Barings and merchants who keep
shops , of professors and professionals , of
adventurers and criminals , of cities full
of artificers and of savages far below the
dark citizens of Hawaii.

as a nutrient as well , and which is less exciting than wine as a stimulant. "
