Tlie building which contains the museum cost six lakhs of
rupees, and is name<l Albert Ilall in honor of the Prince of
Wales, b}^ whom the corner stone was laid in 187G. The
frieze of the building is adorned with mottoes, taken from the
Vedas, or Hindu sacred books. Among them are these :
" High-minded men do good without thought of their own
interests." "He hath all wealth who hath a mind contented;
to hinr whose feet are covered with shoes, the whole earth is
covered with leather." '"Do naught to others which if done
to thee would give thee pain."

While in this city of sixty thousand people I saw no white
man, though I lielieve that there were three or four in the
city. There is no more occasion for fear in thus mingling
with these people than there would be in one of our own
cities, or among our own kindred. Indeed, when we call the
jjeople of India heathen, it would be well to pause a moment to
consider upon what ground we do so. I do not say that there
are no grounds. But if we travel from one end of the country to
the other, we shall see no drunkenness and no saloons for the
natives ; we shall hear no profanity ; we shall hear of no vio-
lent ]-obbei'ies and of but vei'y few murders. As we ride on
the railway, it is no uncmnnion sight to see wild deer feeding
with cattle in the same field where men ai'e at work and even
within a viny few rods of the train. They do not run away.
