Excursions to I'ektn and Batavia are not in

hand the full amount charged by the peninsular
and Oriental Company to Calcutta, by way of
Ceylon is included. If the Burmah r( ute is
taken, the fare will be about the saine, but if the
direct line to Singapore is taken,! it will bo 8100
less. The estimate is based on the supposition ;
that the traveler i will return ft-omj Delhi to
Allahabad, aud proceed thence to -Bombay, in
stead of going oil to Lahore and down the Indus!
to Burachce, and thence to Bombay. It the
last named route is taken, 6100 must be added

To write a, bad hand may scmetimet be a ttgu
that a wa' has risen injtho world, inasmuch M

illegibly the higher tey roso to distinction.
Napoleon I. wrote well enough when he was a
pupil at tho military school of Brienne, but his
signature after he became Emperor of the French
was as scratchy as 4 William the Conqueror, hia
mark." llufus Choate, Jwhen Jja schoolboy, was
never flogged by his wrtting teacher, 'for which
very reason,; perhaps, hs manuscript; after ho
became an eminent lawyer anJ a United States
Senator, looked as if he pad dipped, a spider ia
the inkstand and then let it crawl over tiiepnge.'
But, if sometimes a feign
of greatness, bad pen
manship ofteh leads to queer results, j Thus an
angry letter of dismissal from jonc bf our great
railway klnrs to !an eriirJlovefl served the latter
as a free pass tor himself and family for a year:
