A STORY OF CAWNPORE.
Hade!a Bay, the Eusso-Hiadoo lady; • who has Jong been supplying the Mos-; cow Gazette with Indian letters intensely hostile to the British Government, tells in her last epistle an extraor- ■ ilinary story about subterranean passages at Djadjmon, near Cawnpore, supposed ■ to be entirely unknown to the English. people. The lady it appears, was. taken there is the summer of 1879 by an Indian patriot named Gulab Singh, or Takur, ' On leaving her guide the lady asked permission to publish what she had seen, at the risk of directing English attention to these important caverns, Gulab Singh willingly accorded the request. The English as he pats it, will he eiilier too proud to look lor these i recesses or else 100 stupid to find them. The Indian Gulab absolutely chuckles at the correspondence he fully expects to read in English Journals concerning 1 the discovery of his subterranean haunts ; which he is sure will never be dug up by ! European hands.
