Nasrulla Khan Shocked.

Nasrulla Khan has, it would seem, brought over £20,000 worth of presents as personal offerings to the Queen ahd members of the royal family. It is the Indian rule to return in presents what is given in presents. I therefore condole with her Majesty and the members of the royal family at finding themselves under the necessity to expend £20,000 in reciprocal offerings. As our Illustrious guest and his suite do not' View the requirements of cleanliness in quite the same light as we do, the walls of the rooms of Dorchester House have been protected by paneling and mats have replaced carpets. At the first party at which his Highness appeared he gazed in solemn silence at the scene. It would appear that he was shocked at the nudity of all the fair ladles who were parading before him in evening dress. Probably he thought that they were nautch girls and nautch matrons hired for the occasion.—London Truth.
