FIRST IN TIBET.
A4vatmrM f tka Eiplarers Me
erwft aat Hears?.
la tb rear 1812 Tibet was entered
by two explore rs, Moorcroft and Ilear
er, tht first lKllshmen to penetrate
tbe forbidden land. Hearery describe
nt of their experiences at Dabs: "Aft'
r breakfast this day (Jnly 4) Umor
Singh tent word to ua to come and pay
or respects to the waalr'a son In a
, conned aaaembled with tbe lama and
the ton of tbe deba. We proceeded
about 9 o'clock, attended by the pundit
and three or four other servants, car-
ryinf the present for these people.
Tbe preeenta consisted of three yards
of superfine scarlet broadcloth, some
ufar and spice, all arranged on a
. brass plate. We first entered a gate,
: orer against . which was fastened a
rery large and handsome dog. some
.thing of the Newfoundland breed. We
' then had to stoop to enter another door,
filthy enough, stench abominable. We
then proceeded up few steps of earth
; and stones, all broken. We turned to
the right and entered a small ante
. chamber, to the right of which was
tbe women's room.
7 "A greasy, filthy purdah was then
. lifted op, and we entered the parlor.
,:Here we found a clean uirtal. or poor
woolen carpet, spread for. us In tbe
center of tbe room. In front was a
'recant seat, opposite to which our
'presents were placed. On the right sat
tbe lama on a, cushion ; before htm was
placed a kind of tea poy (three legged
table), on which were two wooden Tar
nished plates, painted and gilt There
. was also a lire pan. The old gentleman
: appeared about seTenty years old, had
; shrewd countenance, said rery little
and eyed w all the time. He was
.- dressed In a coarse woolen red gar
meat, the manufacture of the country,
Creasy and dirty In the extreme. This
was the bishop of this see.
; He had another priest sitting to his
right, more black, more filthy and more
. ugly than himself. Opposite to me sat
the son of tbe deba, a dark, but sensi
ble, though rather heavy looking, per
son; aged about twenty -nine or thirty.
Be bad a paper In his hand at our en
trance, as If In the act of writing. He
was seated on a leather cushion stuffed
with wool, over which was a carpet;
before him was a sort of small table,
on which were two of the wooden
plates before mentioned, a china cup,
an inkstand, a wooden pen and a knife.
To his right lay a long silver pipe. He
was dressed In a red, blue, green and
yellow striped woolen gown."
Tery suspicious were the okl priest
and his fellows, though a letter from a
neighboring seat of government ex
plained to them that Moorcroft and
Hearsey really were harmless pilgrims
and sot the dreaded Flrlngis and re
quested that they might be permitted
to proceed. On the next day, however,
mhi.t m wtic qui vuuirniHi COUipiI
cated by the discovery that Hearsey
wore half boots of the English pattern.
When the natives discovered this they
I thought that something was surely
wrong. Moorcrgft In his narrative,
told of this incident with evident rel
ish, be himself having taken tbe pre
caution of having turned up toes added
to his own shoes.
Wealth ! the Aarieat Haataaa.
Borne of the Bomans seem to have
been very "soUd," while others were
fast to a degree not known nowadays.
When Caesar was killed on the Ides of
March, Antony owed $1,000,(00. which
be paid before the kalends of April out
of the public money and squandered,
according to Adams, $28,000,000. Cae
sar himself, before he set out for Spain,
was In debt to the extent of $10,000,
000. Lentuhls possessed $10,145,830.
Claudius, a freedoian, saved $12,500,
000. Augustus obtained from tbe Tes
tamentary disposition of his friends
some people will leave their fortunes
to their sovereigns no less than $1C1,
458,330. Tiberius left at his death the
enormous sum of $108,904,380, which
Caligula is said to have squandered
la a single year. Vespasian estimated
at his ascension that the money which
the maintenance of the commonwealth
required was $ 1,7C4,S80,OijO.
Tbe Wblteat City In lb World.
There cuuuot poxsibly be a whiter
city than Cadiz unless It be built of
snow. The best way to approach the
port Is to take a trip on one of the
small steamers which ply between the
ports of Morocco and Spain. As you
near the toast you see In front of you
a white uiam, which appears to be
floating upon the water, Just as roti
are. Th' first thought of a foreigner is
that he is inNlght of an Iceberg. The
while mas, glittering In the sun and
rendered more dazzling l.y the blue sea
and sky, looks exactly like a monster
Ice mountain partly melted, so that out-
lines of rustics nnd hill appear upon It,
but only for a second does the Illusion
last for you know there nre no Ice
bergs In that part, and you are quickly
Informed that you are looking at Cadiz.
No other town In the world preseutil
such a magic appearance. '
So Srteaee of Hlatorr.
"The moving flngr writes and bar
'. Jng writ moves on." We can no more
stop or guide Its writing than could the
wild man whose relics we look for in
the drift of another geological period
than ours. What Is still more humiliat
ing, practically we can uo more tell
what It Is going to write even tomor
row than could that cave dweller. In
truth, there Is no science of history.
Conceive a man more learned than
Freeman In history, greater In science
than Darwin, deeper versed lu human
character than George Eliot yet he
could not even roughly draw th map
of Europe as 'It may be a little time
hence.,JXl)e heap jjfjetters ij ;hlfhjrjod
