Summary of News.
The Theosophical Society.—Madame Bla…atsky and Col. H. Olcott, the Founders of this Association, arrived in Madras, by mail train from Bombay yesterday morning. There was a large concourse of natives to receive them on the platform, among whom we observed the Hon. Raja Gajapati Rao, Dewan Bahadur Ragoonath Row, Messrs. P. Srinivasa Rao, G. Muthusawmi Chetti, C. V. Cunniah Chetty, P. Iyaloo Naidu, T. Subba Rau, A. Arumuga Mudali, the Editors of Madras Native Opinion, the Philosophic Enquirer, and several others. Madame and the Colonel, accompanied by some of their native friends, drove off to the Adayar, where, as we have announced, the Theosophical Society has just established its head-quarters, in a large house of its own.
<Untitled> (Mr. A. C. Hume writes to the Allahabad paper…)
Mr. A. C. Hume writes to the Allahabad paper that “if any reasonable number of persons (say twenty or more) desire to have a branch of the Vegetarian Society started in India, I will write to the parent society, and see what can be done in this matter, and will submit to them the results of my inquiries; and we can then, if it be so agreed, constitute ourselves a branch or original society, as may be desired.”
NOT SO BAD FOR AN “OLD CHAPPIE.”
First Old Chappie. “Think we’ve time for a Cigarette, Old Chappie?”
Second Old Chappie. “Well, Old Chappie, considering Thirty Years are supposed to elapse between this last Act and the next, I think we have!”
