Mm OUR niNDOSTAN LETTER. Kandy, Cbyiom, Oct. i6ih, i8S3 "Indeed yeu mutt see ft planter home ind a cacao estate before jro leave Ceylon," said ouf genlat hot one bright morning In the golden October days. But U it not a long, fatiguing drive," we asked. "Oh I no, deligh'.ful, and you will enjoy It," ex claimed hit cheerful little wlfe,whoae busy bee dainty little touches here and there beautified her home, a the looked well to the way of her household, and were a si lent rebuke to the reit of the Idlers loung Ing In the great bamboo, easy chairs, with which every verandah both In India and Ceylon Is provided ; there are atso little tables for tea and palm leaf fans of pretty and odd devices. As the beauty of the little city of Kandy nestled In the lap of the lovely, green mountains of Ceylon, was growing quite familiar after a month s so journ we hailed with pleasure the prospect of an outing arranged for the next day to Palla-kellle, the largest cacao (chocolate) estate In the Island of Ceylon, and a moot charming drive It provcd.past the beautiful ornamental lake made by the Kandyan kings nearly a hundred years ago, quite neianhe celebrated Buddhist temple known as the "Dalada Mallgawa," cr Temple of the Tooth," (In which Is enshrined this al leged relic of Buddha,) past pretty pictur esque bungalows, so shrouded in beautiful trees and shrubs, and curtained In clinging green and blooming vines as to be scarcely discernible In the distance i through small native villages where we saw natives drying wild coffee. Along a tree embowered smooth road over which we bowled at a good rate of speed, the sunbeams sifting softly down turning Into vlvld.goiden-green the lovely foliage of this tropical forest,and lighting up the dusky faces of the coach man and syce In neat, white 11 r cries with only a dash of brightness In the red turbans and cammcrbuno, (sashes.) Now there are glimpses of the tall mountain peaks, the river Mahavelt ganga winding In and out like a sliver thread among tne varied shades of the woodland : now and then fleeting glance are obtained of tea plantations. Soon a beautiful view Is before us ; far away andbclew us flows the shining riven along the banks grow many varieties of lovely, tropical trees of rich and brilliant foliage, bey and the green hills crested with Australian gum trees and sheltered by the purple blue mountains, overhead floated pear-grey clouds.near us were pret ty tenaced rice fields, their soft, delicate green resembling our young wheat field at home ; the gsy "Tamil" costumes worn by the native women and children lent an added picturesqueness to the scene, a they merrily pursued their task of weeding the tender, young rice. Great grey bowlders frowned down on us from one side, partly screened by scraggy shrubs, and dotted by moss and lichen. In many places we saw numerous coolies busily engaged in clear ing and burning the brush and timber from steep hills, preparatory to converting them Into thriving tea plantations. Many of the former great coffee estates in this part of the Island have failed, owing to a virulent attack of leaf fungus, (Hemilia vastatrix,) and are now being utilised as tea and cacao estates. We are soon at the river, in whose cool depths many natives are bathing, laughing and splashing about We are speedily ferried over In a very prim itive ferry boat by native boatmen and . Landed on a splendid cacao estate of 1300 acres In a flourishing state of cultivation, mnd are J riven through wilderness of cacao trees, the ruby-colored corrugated fruit grows along the body and branches of the small treesnd is about the size and shape of a nutmeg melon, only more slen der, and grow with the large end to the stem and is very pretty among the dark green velvet-looking leaves. The cacao of ; this and the Kondetale estate adjoining are said at present to "tcp the London market" My readers must not confound the product of the cacao tree with that of the coconut palmas many persons at first do,) tor they are entirely different Grow- Ing among the cacao trees are many coffee bushes, some with small, white flowers; ' other are full of red and green berries ; both Arabian and Liberian coffee giow here side by side. Next we drive through - a small forest of beautif ul Cera Or Brazilian rubber trees with graceful drooping branch es and pale, delicate, green !eaves,so lovely . and attractive I could not resist the temp- tation of plucking a coveted cluster and triumphantly displaying my prize, causing dire consternation among the occupants of our carriage as the thick, milky liquid fell from the broken stem spoiling whatever It touched. In some places the branches on cither side meet and form a gren leafy canopy, through which the sunlight trem ble with subdued glow. , Now ouf way is broidered. by lovely Sa pan trees, the fine green foliage reminding ine of our locust trees ; the Sapan is cult! vated here for the dye It produces,' similar to that of logwood. Here we taw the va nilla beans growing and clambering In rank luxuriance over great trellises, from which hung In tangled confusion the long.slender, glossy, dark green pods, whose extract is so ' highly prized. The storehouses next claim our attention, long, low, white buildings erected in a sheltered little glen,w!th huge sheds, under which are the large wagons and numerous carts used on the estate, and the neat and extensive dying grounds give evidence of thrift and wise control. Near are comfortable looking native huts for the coclies, 500 of whom are employed en this estate. Arriving at the pretty, cozy bun galow, built on a great green knoll, beauti " fied by flowering shrubs and palms, and shaded by lovely tropical trees. We were thsnkful to resjt on the w'lde.cool vetandah, festooned in blossoming vines and rendered comfortable and attractive by cushioned bamboo easy chair, rare potted plants and book ; In a little nook under a pretty stain ed window stood a quaint rustic table, the sides and legs were fdrmed of knotted coffee shrubs, the top of dark, rich veined . 1 11 1 t . ... AiDizztan jvooa, ana ornamented with an odd delicate China tea set, delicious hot buns, fresh sweet butter, golden honey and fragrant Ceylon tea ; gladly we all partook of the "cup that cheers but not enebrlates," yet I have a faint remembrance of the gen tlemen o! our party all disappearing with our smiling host behind a Japanese screen In the pretty wainscoted dining-room, (ostensibly for a drink of water,) but the smothered popping, fizzing, gurgling and c'Jnking sound that soon Issutd therefrom reminded me of the inevitabUaIndian peg." Throughout this Eastern world the genial planters are noted for their frank, graceful hospitality. The dainty drawing-room with Its dark, rich, highly polished floor, covered here and there by beautiful orten tal rugi; relieved now and then by a tiger or leopard skin, pretty foreign little tablet, pictures, books, flowers and the thousand and one rare and lovely curios, with which every tiouse here Is decorated, was very handsome and attractive. From the ver andah we had a most charming panorama of mountain, hill and valley clothed In all I the rich and varied hues of green, russet and golden brown here and there flamed out a brilliant glow from the wild cotton trees. lust below us down a winding foot path bordered with lovely' flowers was a fine tennis court, surrounded by beautiful tropical shrubs and flowers.a wilderness of rare beauty and perfume ; there too was a very -pretty quaint little summer house, (where the tennis players hi.d their after noon tea,) with its red tiled roof and sides screened by passion flowers and covoloulus ; two of Its great stone pillars are solid old monoliths beautifully and curiously carved in the ancient BuddhUt style 5 they are over 400 years old and originally belonged to the bith house connected with the grand Palace of a Kandyan king, but lon since destroyed. Connected with this estate and under cultivation are ono hundred acre of tobacco which has proved qu'te a success, By the lengenthing shadows creeping across our path we are warned it Is time to turn our faces Kandy-ward.and we bid our pleas ant host good bye as the falr.meUow after noon waned into eve-tide and the crimson rays of the setting sun kissed the fleecy billows of cloudfleld into a glowing salmon pink, and the vast expanse of earth and sky were bathed In a tender rosy mist that deepened until the somber mountains and the sreen slopes of- the hillside seemed turned to molten go!d and the jagged sur face of the grey cliffs were softened into a perfect harmony of lovely tints and shades. Our homeward drive was lighted by the pale, silent stars and the flash cf the glow worms that everywhere brightened the for est depths which was noisily alire with In sect life. This lovely, sea girt Isle of Celon is mountainous, with plains bordering on the sea and has a charming variety of temper ature.
