JAPAN. Xncreasing Importance of Hiogo—Kobe—In- trance and Appenrance—Number of Resident Foreigners—Osaka and Its Disadvantages , Appearance of the City—The Junk Trade The Foreign Trade of Hioge for 1868. x Kose, May 23, 1899. + ince the opening of tho ports of Osaka and Niogo, on the 1st of January, 1868, those foreigners ‘who settled at the new ports have been constantly Prophesying of the time when Hiogo or Osaka, a3 the case may be, wil supersede Yokohama as the principal entrepot for Japan. Making all due Gllowance for the bragzadocio inseparable from a commercial rivalry, the trade of Hiogo and the number of vesseis clearing from and entering the port are a suficient indication that Hiogo or Osaka will one day occupy a position of cousiderable im- portance in a commerelal point of view. With a view, therefore, of spying out a land which, accora- ing to every resident, is one Mowing with milk and honey, plentifully sprinkied with Ttchiboos, your correspondent thought it advisable to come here and look for himself. This port, Hiogo, is situated about 229 miles in a Bouthwesterly direction from Yokohama, nearly at the head of Tsumi or Osaka bay, But why am I Bpeaking of Hiogo? The fact 1s the place called vy that name is scarcely of any interest whatever to the foreigner. It may be remembered that when Japan was first opened the treaty with the foreign Powers called for the opening of the port of Kana- gawa. The Japs, however, after a great deal of op- position, but with the ultimate consent of the for- eign muuisters, placed the foreign settiement at -Yo- Kohama instead of Kanagawa, whence all foreign Oficial documents are still dated, although the latter place is a good six miles from any foreign residence ana we have no more to do with that place than any other in the interior, So instead of marking out the foreign settiement at Hiogo they placed it at Kobe, along @ miserable sandy beach, and vessels have to pass Hiogo to get to the anchorage, Nevertheless, the entrance to Kobe is extremely picturesque, in spite of the sand beach—the scenery behind, below and above the setuement being very pretty and striking. The anchorage is good, and the harbor, somewhat smailer than Yokohama, is a Little better protected, though even here the ele- iments seem to get on a spree, and the harbor is ex- tremely weathery at times, The foreign population Will probably number about 250. Besides the settie- ment foreigners have the privilege here, which they do not possess at Yokohama, of renting houses in the native town of Kobe (they are not allowed to live at Hiogo), and the setuement, as usual, being Nxed at the wrong end, most of the mercantile houses have availed themselves of this privilege and ignore the concession. Boling is going on rapidly, however, in all parts, and | have no doubt that Kobe will, at some future time, be a@ place ‘of considerable commercial tmportauce, But if the foreign settlers in this portion of Japan ook upon Yokohaina as their rival 1 am at a loss for @ name by which to desiguate the feeiing entertained py the Kobeites for Osaka aud that of the lew resi- dents of Osaka for Kobe, It is amusing te hear the ‘espective settlers discuss this point, but so far Kobe aa by far the best of it. Osaka is the largest com- mercial city in Japan, but is situated about four Miles up a shallow river, which is guarded by a bar that, in my opinion, will ever act as a barrier to di- rect commercia: intercourse. 1 have spoken of Osaka as a commercial city—that is, in a Japanese point of view, for Japanese junks can manage ut high ‘water to get over the bar. Osaka 1s said to contain 1,500,000 inhabitants. It is the centre or rather the ‘ultimate point of an immense tea and sik growing district, Everything that 18 shipped from Kobe for foreign ports, or the other poris of Japan, comes from Osaka, and yet, ia my opinion, Kobe must ecessarily always be far ahead of Osaka, because obe has deep Water. ‘The Japs appreciate the diml- uity, and are attempting to dredge the river and bar. They are working very sedulously at present; but I have the opinions of good engineers that suc- ful is very probiematical, and thai the experiment iil Cost about $2,000,000, The Junk trade of Osaka and from Hiogo, Kobe and the ports on the inland @ca is something enormous. The river itsell is crowded with incoming or outgoing Junks, and every creek and canal that intersects the city—and hey are numbered by hundreds—is thick with hem, Yet you see no evidence of the immense usiness that this junk trade must be the effect of An the city, The streets have the appearance as no business were done. One sees long lines f shops without customers, immense crowds In the streets, apparently doing nothing, and it isa re thing to see goods hauied through the street., et, as] said before, the business is here, or in the strict, and the great drawback to its sustaining a ‘ge foreign settiement is its want of navigating facilities, Osaka 1s the second city in point of size the empire. Here, under the former government, he Tycoon resided @ portion of the year. It was ere that he Jost his power. At the time when Sat- guma first unfurled the Mikado’s fag in opposition to the Tycoon the latter was residing bere, and he urrounded his caste, which, with plenty of ammu- ition and two thousand men, could have been ade impregnable, It 18 DOW & mass Of ruins, bout twenty miles from Usaka is the sacred city { Kioto, the residence of the Mikados. No longer jacred, however, a8 it bas been desecrated by the nholy presence of the hated foreigner, aud no fone the exclusive residence of the “Son of the un,’’ as formerly. From Oskaa to Hiogo it is thirteen miles by Water and twenty-inree by land—that 1s, it is thirteen miles from the anchorage, which ts about two miles: rom the bar, and the city 18 three miles above that. ne foreign residents are discussing the question of Pic ane & railroad between the two ports, As to he adyise!lity of such an undertaking there can be ut one oplniv—it Would Licrease the importance Of both places # Nuuired fold. Tae question 18 hether such a priviiege will ever be given to foreigners by the Japanese goveruinont; aad t tunk evon this will be ullimately effected, or the Japs will butid one themselves, As to ertier of the ports Buperseding Yokohama, I fail to see the reasons for fny such result, Not that }okohama uas any very reat attractions or superiority over and above Kobe; but they are at least equal. Yoxohara ts just as near Kurope as Kobe, and 1s far more available as distributing port for the whole country. Tne fol- lowing figures will give some estimate of we trade gf Hiogo for the year 1368:— “pial number of vessels arrived, 190; tonnage, $16,017. Of which number 64 were American, Witi fan aggregate tonnage of 73,196; Kngush, 111, with * 89,186 tons; other countries, 15, The total value of imports for the same time mounted to $4,710,214, of which $822,404 came direct from foreign ports. The total value of ex- ris amounted to $1,561,090, of which $484,096 Was irect to foreign countries, and a large proporuion of he rest also went to foreiga countries, but was first Bhipped to Yokohama. for twstance, the value of the siik export alone—that is, including silkworms' @gus—amounted to $749,044 and the tea to $309,025. Altogother this is @ Very healthy showing, and, ‘whether Kobe supersedes Yokohama or not, we may gonfidently expect that her trade will foot up in a @ouple of years to a very considerable amount, & People’s Parlinment—Proclamation by the Mikado—The Parliament House—The Mese sage of the Emperor—Rules and Regulae tions of the New Parliament—Japancso Pro-~ gress—Determined Action of Sir Harry Parkes=The Affair with tho Stonewall— Tho Yokohama Races—Commercial Mate shine Yoxonasta, May 28, 1860, ‘The Mikado arrived at Jeddo on the 8th inst.

They were all dressed in their oficial robes, After these the members, numbering about 227, entered “nd took their places, these having been selected by drawing lots, After all had assembled the President of the House rose and read the following message trom the Emperor, all in the House prostrating Whereas we propose shortly to proceed to our eastern capital there to assemb.e around us our Kuges, Daimios and the members of the various administrative de) iments, in on the foundation of the new con- y stitution of this country, sa‘ory and peace, ‘Let ‘every one atthe present moment re- member that the constitution and laws must be the founda- tion of government, and ax millions of people are raled by thom let them not be framed inconsiderctely or without ma- ture deliberation.

After the reading of the message the House pro- ceeded to business, ‘The idea of this Parliament has evidently been started by some of those Princes who have visited Europe and America, and who have evidently pro- fited by what they there saw. It will be seen, how- ever, by the following rules and regulations for the government of this body, that the House, so far, has no real power, but that it is simply an advisory board, a8 everything must go to the Emperor or the Government Connctis for approval. Neverthess it 1s undoubtedly a great advance movement, and, how- ever defective this their first “House of Commons” may prove to be, it will insure ultimately to Japan a mild and wise government.

Newspapers and street reports are not to be quoted to substantiate statements, While we record, with pleasure, the advance the Japanese are making in their ideas of government, we must, nevertheless, state it as our opinion that these reforms will be be aon by a large number of the Daimios. When the great convention of the princes is to take place has not yet transpired, all of them not yet having arrived at Jeddo, I am more inclined to the opinion above given, from the fact that, now and again, the old feeling of dislike to foreigners occasionally crops out. During the last two weeds the tokaido has been aimost constantly occupied by princes and their retainers on their way to the eastern capital, and every now and in some insult to foreigners has to be ar parte mae on Ly oy several foreigners, being on ‘okaido during the passage of some one of these trains, have been forced to de- scend from their carriages or horses. One of these occurrences assumed ol serious te ae ten days ago some gen: among w! Stanhope of the royal navy, while returning to hama by coach, were forced to get out of their car- riage during the passage of some nobleman’s train. Acompiaint was made to Sir Harry Par! demanded an‘apology to Captain Stanhope on board of the Captain’s own ship, the Ocean, from the nobie- man who was ible for the insult, This was at first refused. ir Harry threatened that if his demand were not ag ge with all intercourse should cease between the Japanese and foreign Powers (it is no dificult matter for Sir Harry to in- fuence the other Ministers). The Japs had to come down, ‘was made and the flags will hy lag staffs of the various legations. but besides this there has been one or two occurrences at Yokohama equally as serious, although the same fuss has not been made about them. About nine o'clock on the night of the 30th ult. Lieutenant Da Bousquet, acting as int to the French Lega tion, was passing through Curio street, when some one hithim a blow with a@ club from behind that felled him senseless. He was carried in this condt- tion to the Legation. A little while afterwards Mons. Vivet, also connected with the French tion, was attacked in the same manner. On Ul night of the 6th an attempt was made to fire the to make up three- feciding the question by 5 French Legation, and the next night itiack was made upon another interpreter in the same service. Why all te shown towards the Frenchmen? this spit! som e tried to interpret it as an expression of the dislike the Japanese entertain towards tue French on account of there being several of the latter now aiding Ennomotto, This may be the case, if the as- saults have all been made by some famourais be- longing to some Datmio recently arrived at Jeddo, Although the government havo apol the cul- ip have not been found. Tsu ‘the result will be another bili for indeimnitl Bat, seriously speaking, If those affairs are not treated with Proper determination we shall have @ repetition of the series of murders that made foreigners afraid to leave the settiement three years ago. In conse- quence of these occurreaces the settiement ts again uarded by foreign troops, and no Yacomin is al jowed to enter Yokohama without a pass, ‘The news from the North has been quite mterest- ing since my last.

The utility of these gentlemen was very questionable in the first place, even in those cases where they undersiood what was required of them; but when incompe- tency and neglect are added it is time the matter was looked into, On the arrival of the Great Kepublic the San Francisco mail was kept on board the ship for over twenty-four hours, the reason being that the worthy mail agent thought he had signed a receipt for four bags only, When there were reaily ive.

In these places they are handed over to the consuls, and a great deal oi tine 13 wasted and a great many mistakes are made, from the fact that they bave no competent help who knows anything at all about postal business. One competent man could serve as postmaster for all these ports, and the letters could be sorted tn transicu, so that they wouid be ready for delivery immediately va the arrival of the steamer at their respective ports.

The newspapers in all the treaty ports of China are sending up @ long and dismal wail on account of the home government of Great Britain having ex- pressed their entire disapproval of the way consuls and naval officers took it upon themselves to seitle the Yang Chow affair, For my part I think that the government are altogether right in refusing thé power to do such high handed acts as were com- mitted in this affair to consuls; but when Lord Clarendon expressed an opinion, in which even ministers were to have no further power in these matters, but that they must be referred to the gov- ernment at home, I think he went a step over the mark, With a wise aad honest man to represent them at Pekin I think no nation need fear of being dragged into a war with China on account of the minister demanding redress for any outrage done to their respective subjects or citizens, even if they do back up such demand by a show of force. ‘To refer such matters at home would cause great delay and greatly lessen tho infuence that ministers should have with the Chinese govern- ment. As it is the public reproof given to the con- suls in this matter 13 apt to have a bad effet, inas- much as the Chinese seem to think that other coun- tries are beginning to be afraid of them, There is serious trouble at Pekin. The French Chargé a’ Affaires has been grossly insulted either by Prince Kung or one of his officials. So far the intellt- gence 18 not quite positive, The first report we had here was that Prince Kung had slapped the French- man’s face, 1t is quite certain that the trouble is se- rious, from the fact that the Frenchman has hauled down his Legation flag; and ali the other foreign Min- isters have threatened to do the same, and cut off ail diplomatic intercourse, unless an ample apology is tendered. What the result of this fracas will be I suppose can be easily foretold—the Chinese will make the amend; but I should not be at ail surprised if they neld out a little longer than usual, when they think of the action of Great Britain, Intelligence has arrived here of the loss of the Americaa bark Arthur, on the Pratas Shoals, on the wthult he Arthur jeft this port on the 17th inst. for -Tientsin, with a general Chinese cargo and some passengers. ‘Tuesday, the 20th, Was a thick, stormy day.

On the captain’s arrival at this place he entered a complaint against the junk for piracy, but ail Che evidence adduced merely went to show that the crew of the junk, two of which were old women, were simply ‘actuated by adesire to make a good thing out of the misfortunes of a shipwrecked people, and with their usual pertinacity had insisted upon playing the good Samaritans for $1,000. So the case ‘was discharged. The Chinamen then turned round and sued Captain Crospie for false imprisonment (they had been kept two days in prison on the chargo of piracy), and it being te that the passengers were kindly treated on board the junk the judge re- marked that he was sa ag! that the captain could have been so far mistaken in the character of the junk, and the captain was iined $500 with costs. Intelligence has been received from Amoy to the efiect that the Centra: American sip Macao, having loaded @ large number of coolies, and being ready to proceed on her voyage, was prevented from leay- ing Amoy by the United State steamship Unadilla, ‘The reason for this is understood to be that the Macao has no mandarin’s chop or permission to take away the coolies, and the United Staies steam. ship Unadilla has taken up the matter vy request, and still detains the Macao at Amoy. ‘The following movements in her Majesty's fleet stationed in China may he deemed as correct:—It has been decided to seud home the Rodney and the Pearl, the former with only a simali orew, aad not her full complement, The Argus (in Japan) goes to the Cape of Good Hope, and tie Icarus and Cormo- raut wilt be paid off here and recommissioned.

AGRA, April 15, 1399, We came through from Cawnpore at night in order to see the Taj by a full moon. A night earlier would have been too soon, and a night later woula have been too late. We reached Agra at four o'clock in the morning, and, without waking the porter at the hotel, left our luggage and drove directly to the Taj. We did not want the company of a chattering cicerone to guide ua to the tomb. It stood out clear and bright in the moonlight, two miles distant. It ‘was not the chaste silver moon of northern latitudes, but the full, voluptuous, lustrous, amber-colored moon of India, with the three intense stars burning like Mame upon the band of Orion, ‘The stillness of silence was upon the face of nature when we arrived at the entrance to the enclosure. The night insects had sung themselves to sleep and the morning birds had not begua their carols, The paim trees stood Still and seemed as if they were mlaid upon the sky. ‘The cypresses were as silent as if they were mourn- ing over the earth. The guide book says:— ‘The Taj is situated in a noble quadrangle, enclosed with lofty red sandstone walis, with turrets at the angles and a gateway on each aide, The quadrangle measures 1,860 feet rom east to west and 1,000 feet from north to south. The principal gateway is a noble structure tn red sandstone, most elaborately carved and inseribed with sentences from the Koran, Passing through the gateway the tirst view of the Taj is Obtained at the end of a long paved pathway, suaded by @ Dewutiful avenue of tall, dark, cypress trees; iu the centre is a basin with a fountain, anda Tow of jets eau is carried from end to end. The whole of the enclosure ts beautifully laid out with stately trees, shrubs and dower beds, and is kept in good order at the expense of government. In the midst of these grounds rises the Taj Mahal, the great architectural wonder of Agra and of India. What is this wonderful structure? Has a star failen from the firmament and crystallized in the form of the habitatious of the cherubim and seraphim to ex- hibit to mortal eyes a model of the mansions of the blessed? Have the sea fairies gathered the pearis and corals and gems of the Indian Ocean and fash- ioned a submarine structure of exquisite beauty aud waited it up the sacred river to rest upon the banks of its most beauuful affluent as a model to man of the coraline palaces in which the sea kings lay the beautiful mermaids to sleep? No; supernatural structure though it seems, it is nevertheless the creation of mortal hands; but its inspiration was immortal. It was imspired by immortal love. It was built by Shab Jehan (a descendent of the great Tamerlane), in honor of his beautiful wife, Noor Jehan (the light of the world) who was a niece of the celebrated Noor Mahal (the Ught of the harem) in Lalla Rookh, These Tartar women must have been beautiful, Indeed, to have inspired such passions, In eighteen centuries the Christian world has built no such monument in honor of the beatiled mother of the Saviour of Mankind. The chosen people of God have left no such monument over any of the daughters of Isracl. The Egyptian Queen had many noble lovers, but neither Cxsar nor Antony, with all the treasures of Rome, have left such a monument to the Enchantress of the Nile, Grecian marble im- mortalized Grecian beauty, but lett no monument of Grecian love. Réman history perpetuates the virtue of Koman ladies in the Latin language, but tlre Sara- cen writes the story of his love in enduring marble, intelligible to all nations and to all ages. In no western land has marble been so plastic to the talis- man oflove. Only here, under this burning Indian sun, sliaded by the palm and the cypress, has the great human heart swelled to maturity with the divine passion and burst in expanding its devotion. It is a poem of love written in marble and Llumi- hated with precious stones, We walked about the marble pavements under the cypress trees and by the flower beds, taking a look at the Ta) from diferent angles, watil the moonlight faded out before the approaching’sun, and in the interregnum the palm branches began to stir with the morning breeze and the birds began to sing in the cypress trees, The sun rose up over a palm grove in the distance like a shield of molten copper. A few lazy keepers began to crawl from their hiding places abont the enclosure, and the two American visitors tothe Taj walked away as quietly as they lad come, Monsieur Beaumont does not keep a very good hotel, but he keeps the best hotel in Agra. He 1s an ola Frenchman and bas a large family. He has been 1n India a long time and would not Know Faris now if he were to return, Indian landlords never speak to their guests, and their guesis never have a chance to speak to them, The hotel is generally attended by native servants, who do not understand a word or English, and who neither know how to cook nor serve anything. It was, therefore, necessarily a work of time and patience to get rooms, bath aad breakfast at Monsieur Beaumont’s hotel. We returned to the Taj about noon and found the shade of the gardens a pleasant retreat from the noonday’s sun. A great many carts were at the en- trance, aud hundreds of natives were engaged tn carrying flower pots mto the gardens, We learned that there would be a flower show to-morrow, when the floral beauties of India would be exluibited for premiums in the gardens of the Taj. ‘The tomb is raised on a platform of red sandstone, 1,000 feet long, fronting on the river Juinna, by 350 feet in width in the garden, On this platform a ter- race of White marble 18 laid, 850 feet square. in the ceutre of this terrace the beautiful structure 1s erected in the shape of an irregular octagon, occu- pying asquare of 186 feet. At tue corners of the marbie piatiorm are four guardian minarets, each 138 teet in height and beautiuily proporaoned. Entering the marble doors of the tomb you are under the dome, which 1s 120 feet high and 90 feet in diameter, the crescent tipped spire being 300 feet above the basement. In the centre of the marble rotunda, immediately under the dome, is an enclosure made by an octagonal marbie screen wrouglit in tretlis work and tniaid with vines bearing Mowers imitated in precious stones, 50 fresh and natural that you look for the dew and smeti for the perfume, The festoons of in- Jaid flowers represevt the iris, lotus, tulip and other rich colors of India, and are made of cornelian, agate, bloodstone, lapis lazuli and carbuncies, In- side of this marble screen are the sarcophagi of Shah Jehan and Noor Jehan, their actual tombs being in the basement underneath. The tombstones are of pure white marble, profusely inlaid with wreaths of flowers in precious stones and covered a from the Koran inlaid in black Imarble. ‘The tombs were spread with roses, jasmine and sWeet flowers from the garden, yieiding an altar of fragrance through the rotunda, The walls, the gal- lerigs, thé cornices, the arches of the alcoves and the windows were all hung with vines and flowers, in- laid with marble and precious stones and inscribed with verses from the Koran. It is said that in the inscriptions imlaid in marble upon this batiding every verse in the Koran has been copied. The echo under whe marbie dome has been compared to the harmonies of Paradise. Bisho Hever affirms it to surpass anything in Europe. If Patti, Nusson or any of our Western nightingales could sing under this marble dome the eye would matinotively turn to the alcoves in the cornice to see if angels were peering over to carry the sweet strains of music to Varadise, The building was completed In 1630 by the lavish expenditure of mil- Hons of treasure and the labor of 20,000 workmen for bb pr apo years. ‘They built like giants and finished like goldsinitns.”” We returned again to the Taj that night. A couple of gentiemen were wandering about the marble walks, compating views by moonlight. They had come from England; we from America; but the same object had brought us together in the shade of the beautiful Indian tomb. We made up a hand- ful of money for the keepers to reward them for burning bine lights tn the alcoves of the dome. ‘the keepers went up stairways and soon appeared in the windows above the cor- nice of the dome holding out sulphureous torches, which shed @ sepuiciral glare over the dome, and made a misty shade on the tombs through the treilis work of the marbie screen by which they were sur- rounded, We Jooked at one another and our faces were yellow, like wax ——- or unnatural, like dead ple. The bine is burned out and left us in the darkness of the tomb. We went out and passed along by the silent fountains, under the shade of the EF ahd trees, listening to the echo of our steps upon the marbie pavement, and separated for the night without saying mucb to each other, On our return to the hotel we experienced a great deal of trouble with our 90-called hotel keeper, Mon- sicur Beaumont. He lives ina villa adjoining his hotel and leaves bis guests to the attention of native servant, wee do not know how to keep a hotel. We sent for Monsicur Beaumont and expostulated, He is exorbitant in his charges for carriage hire, and we excited his ire by eer an outside convey: an and offended his pride by insinnating that he and all other hotel kee; in India were en- tirely too much above their business, and, in fact, we threatened another great Indian muti jogeins a eee vias making neat, 100 Much grease. the Sepoys, viz., Us eal ur eutinont dutrenched uiraself in his villa and we kept possession ote In the io we went again tothe Taj.

An Indian belle in fuil costume may wear several pounds of jeweiry and not be overdressed. ‘The Inysteries of the feminine totlet are beyond my com- prehension, Seme wear fine sik shawis wound around as a netier garment in a most mysterious Way, and are covered by another shawl of the same material, which hangs over the shoulders and 13 con- tnually fatieriag as if trying to escape from a sil- ver or gold band which fastens it around the waist, ‘The tittle children were dressed in admirable taste and looked as tres and sweet as the flowers. The European ladies were out in the Jatest fashions from Paris aud London—highland lassie and low- land matron discussing with the native ladies the prranect of attending the coming “durvar” at Um- lia or preparing for the reception of the Duke of Eainbarg at Agra in November. All Was merry and beautiful at the annual dower show in Agra. The band of the deventy-minth High- landers played the national airs of England in the gardens of the Great Mogul. The fountains played cooling jets upon the periume-laden atuios- phere. The promenade of many couples resouadéed aloug the mmurble pavements, and here and there a bright uniforia sparkled by the side Of a gay suk under the shade of the cypress tress. His Hovor the Lieutenant Governor of the Northwest Provinces, Sir Wiliam Muir, Commander ol the Star of India, &c., distributed the premiuins to the fair competitors:—For geraniums, one gold bracelet ; for roses, one pair earrings; for pinks, one diamond ring; for heartsease, one neckiace, and so on for carnations, daisies, poppies, verbenas, asters, petunia pAalis, Violets and passion flowers. The eye wandered to the ladies, to the towers, to the Taj, as diferent grades of beauty; but candor obliges me to say it rested longest on the Taj, as the most unfading. The cuuidren played and prattied around the fower-lined borders, until the old foun- tains leaped for joy and spread their spray m golden rainbows like an archway of celestial promise to guide their footsteps beyond the tomb. The pyra- mid of ower pots melts away, the shadow of the cypress trees darkens in the garden, the pattering ol feet on the pavement leads towards the door, the fountains cease to piay, the childrea’s ratabow 1s gone, the reverberations of “God Save the Queen’? die away tn the vauit of the tomb, the departipg sun spreads his golden glories over dome aud minaret for a moment, and Shah Jehan and his beautifal bene are lett to the solitude of tueir maguiticent om. ‘rhere are many other objects of interest at Agra, but when the sun shines the stars are invisible, When we have seen the Ta) all eise 13 nothing. The fort and paiace of Akbar the Magnificent are well worth a visit. The fort is a mile and a half in cir- cuit, built of red sandstone, with walls sixty feet high, surrounded by a fosse and enciosing a palace. Tue judgment seas of Akbar remains—a white marbie slab, now broken, like tie Mosiem power. The Peart Mosque 13 a beautiful marble structure, erected ior the worship of God and the Prophet, Where each pious Mussdiman has an assigned space indicated ou the marble floor, ‘The zenana or harem of Akbar the Magnificent was the gem of the palace. Halls and galleries and suits of rooms of whiie marble, with court yards filed with fountams, and baiconies of marble treliis work inlaid with gems overlooked the river, The injaid work of some of the wails and cetiings was marvellous in its perfection and detail—not a color of che vine nor a hue of the flower but the precious stone was found to represent. In the marbie wails channels are to be seen where the water was trained to cool the temperature. In one portion of the palace a marble wali, divided iato two chambers by au arciway, was set apart and elaborately orna- mented for a bach room, and fias since been calied the Hiall of Glass. In each room are marbie basins in the centre of the floor, with cascades of marble leading from the walis on either side. The walls and cetlings were covered over the entire surface with thousands of mirrors, arranged in the most intricate designs, 80 that every motion of the nymphs in the bath was reilected ten thousand times from the erystal walis and ceilings. Jt does not require a very warm imagination to fancy the ladies of the harem disporting thomselves in the marole baths and turning their pol ished limbs to the splashing cascades, +ac: trying to outvie the other in aquatic gymmastics, @.ch Noun multipled ten thousand times for the auwusement of their lord and master, the Great Mogul. Akbar Was a king of cosmopolitan tastes. He filled his zenana with we classic beauties of Hindostan and artinents suitable to their customs. tne dark-eyed inaidens of Persia with the olive ripentng upon the cheek, and the fair daughters of Casiinere, With something of a peach bloom complexion, He was toierant in religious matters, and took a Portuguese wife named Marie, and crnamentad her chambers with fresco printings representing scenes in bible history and surmounted her doors with the Greek cross, Oli, Briguam Young, you are a North American savage compared to ‘Akbar the Magnificent ; your harem is a workshop and your women are slaves. When Lwas in Salt Lake City jast [had to ride two miles to the Sul- phur Springs to get a bath, and then took it in the open air. We should have made a visit to Futtepore Sikree, some twenty miles rom Agra, the summer palace of Akbar, and his final resting place, but the spectre of Time Was always at our back, threatening to cut our legs off if we lingered too long among the ruins of the past; besides, things had come to such a pass with our landiord, Monsieur Beaumon' that negotiations for a conveyance were attended with difiiculty, He had barricaded himself in his vila and declined any communication with us except by epistolary correspeadence. We had occupied the hotel and laid the servants under contribution for such provisions aad attendance as could be obtained. In this state of the case we concluded to raise the siege and evacuate the prem- ises, but the terms of evacuation were dificult to arrange ou account of the tediousness oi correspond- ence. The most important matter to arrange was the bill, ‘This was finally sent overunder a flag of trace, and having been fully discussed was finally agreed to; but other diMcuities arose as to the pay- ment of the money, ‘The landlord would not come out to recetve it in person, and we would not pay it tothe native servants. Jt was finally a hat the iandlord should send over a receipt and that we should leave the money on the table and march out with our baggage and arms.
