... | A {{Style S-Small capitals|Bear}} having observed a Turkey on the | ||
opposite side of the Barn-Yard Fence, growled angrily to the trembling | |||
Bird, "I have an Impression that it would require Evidence to remove | |||
that you are addicted to the use of Bear's-Grease to promote the growth | |||
of your Hair, and to gratify your Lusts compassed the foul Murder of my | |||
maternal Grandfather thirty-five Years ago." "I cry your mercy," | |||
replied the timid Fowl, "but I am wholly destitute of Hair; besides, at | |||
the time of your lamented Relative's Death I was not hatched." "Well," | |||
roared the aggravated Bruin, "how dare you trespass upon my Estate, and | |||
entertain Intentions of Territorial Aggrandizement?" "Alack, good | |||
Czar," replied the unhappy Bird, "how can that be, when the Barn-Yard | |||
Fence stands between you and me?" "That makes no difference," cried the | |||
Plantigrade of all the Russias; "I am compelled to interfere for the | |||
Protection of your unhappy Christian subjects," and, crossing the Fence | |||
in force, he proceeded to occupy the Turkey as a material guarantee. | |||

... | The portrait of Rajah Harendra Krishna, a member of the Bengal | ||
Legislative Council, is engraved from a photograph taken at Calcutta. | |||
This Bengalee gentleman, who has the rank of Bahadur and Rajah, is the | |||
head of the Sobha-bazar family, attached friends of the British | |||
interest since the days of Lord Clive. It will be found, in the history | |||
of British Indian progress, that both Clive and Warren Hastings | |||
repeatedly acknowledged the valuable services of Nava Krishna, who died | |||
in 1797. The present Kumar Harendra Krishna, his great-grandson, has | |||
been in the Bengal Government service from 1851, and has been commended | |||
and promoted. His father, the late Rajah Kali Krishna, was one of the | |||
most eminent of Sanscrit scholars. The merits of his literary and | |||
historical researches were known in Europe as well as in his own | |||
country, and he received gold medals and complimentary letters from | |||
many high quarters. He was a corresponding member of the Royal Asiatic | |||
Society of Great Britain during thirty years. | |||
