THE FAJH5E 15 PERSIA.
A tew months ago, news came from
Persia of a most distressing character..
Plague and famine, had smitten the coun
try. Men. women and children were
dying by tbousauds, unaided, unattended.
There were no medicine for the sick and
suffering; no food for the hungry.
Whole districts were described as rav
aged by the destroying angels of hunger
and disease. For a time, the news ceas
ed to allude to ;he case of Persia, and it
was hoped that the worst was over. Not
so, however. - Late intelligence from
Ispahan shows the country is still in the
dreadful agony which for long mouths
back has afflicted it. The distress in
the cities and Urge towns is described as
terrible, and al exertions of the authori
ties prove unavailing lo stay the march
of desolation. Deaths from sickness are
multiplying, tnd want of food killing
tbousauds. Najor S. A. Smith, English
resident, writiig from Bushire, says the
peopla are worn to skeletons, aud some
of them are always trodden down and
killed in the daily rush for the English
Rice. Mr. A. J. S. Adams, traveling in
Teheran about two months ago, says,
that in the crowds who swarm in the barrack-square
to receive a dole of small sil
ver from the Shall, hundreds men and
women, are literally stark naked, worn
to the bone, and covered with sores. The
people follow tie visitors howliug for
bread ; "two lie upon the ground, quite
dead, aud a third is laid npon oueside of
the bazarr, covered with a piece of dirty
cottmi. A naked woman lies iu the
agony of death, surrounded by a crowd
of beiugs almost as badly off aa herself.
The next form is that of a woman, "who
scrapes from the ground a handful of
mellon seeds ami filth, which she divides
between her two children.1)." There is
no hope of home relief. Persia is ex
hausted. There is no food for the well,
no relief for those smitten with the plague.
What is t be done? Will the Christian
woilJ staii'l with folded arms, and allow
thousands of human beings to die for
want of food and proper care T If not,
then sume movement should be made to
aid lYrriu in the hour of her mighty dis
tress. And what is right to he done
must he done quickly. It is said the
'Lord lovelh a cbeerfnl erivcr."

A lady in Boston, occupying a highly
respectable social iositiou, iu a state of
intoxication, staggers aud falls iu the

a police officer, and she is driveu home.

Nearly in the same place, a day or two

These ladies coax men to take shares,
and then the prize is awarded to the

the excited ticket holders, and spectators.
This is called a raffle. But iu the eight

Patrick Mahony helps himself to a
Luudred dollars, and is sent to the State
Prison as a thief. Edward Crafty, plac
ed in a position of great trust, with mar
velous adroitness takes fifty or a hundred
thousand dollars. This is a "finaucia
irregularity." The affair is adjusted,
notwithstanding he is a criminal. It is
soon hushed up, and he free, ready, like
as not, for another swindle.
Now why not call these things by
their right names, and then deal with the
rascals accordingly. This shielding of
great rogues and covering up great frauds
with false, labels, is fatal to mercantile
honor and personal iutegrity Christian
RtziUer
It is said that in'the village of Pesh
tigo. Wis., on the Sabbath, only a few
hours before the fire which swept them
from existence, some' thirty or forty
young men got together, marched up to
the neat little Methodist Church with two
or three kegs of lager beer, and held a
mock service, going through with all the
ceremouies administered the Lord's Sup
per and other rights of the sanctuary.

lass of a suitor, "what ship carries more

"Maria, I realy don't think I can."
"Well it is courtship," said the maiden
with a conscious blush. .

TRAVELING IN SIBERIA.
A traveler says lovers of good sleigh

and have a range of thousands of miles
without fear of a thaw or of bare ground
But it is very cold, and one must wear thick
clothing to keep warm. I frequently
saw the thermometer forty degrees below
zero aud sometimes it gets below sixty.
Everything that can be frozen becomes

when preparing to return to her.

1 carriage look off ber coiffure and tied it '
up in a handkerchief to keep it fresh for
a party she was to attend the following
night and that sue might bo m re con I

head, the eveuiug being cold. When
she reached her dwelling the coiffure was
not iu the carriage. She despatched a
messenger f ir it, but it could not be
found. Some days after she met an ac
quaintance, whose hair was the same
color as her owu rather a peculiar hue
and was satisfied she wore her coiffure.
She taxed her with it Of course it was
indignantly denied. So certain was the
lady that it was her hair the other had
takeu from the ball and was weariug she
sued her for it. When the trial came on
the defendant struck the prosecutor dumb
and convinced the court by letting down
her tresses and showing they were her
own, thereby procuring a judgment in
ber favor. Subsequently she quarreled
with her hair dresser, wheu it came out
that the hair she had so dexerously ex
hibited as having grown on her head had
grown on some other head, but had been
artfully and artistically arranged for
the pulling down process by the hair
dresser.

beautiful girls that cau be obtaiued from
Georgia and Circassia ; and, to their nat

the fancied embellishments of painted

Chains of gold, and collars of pearls,
with various ornameuU of precious
stones, decorate the upper part of their
persons, while solid bracelets of gold, in
shape resembling serpents, clasp tfcteir
wrists and ankles Silver and golden
tissued muslins not only form their tur
bans, but frequently their under gar

made of the most costly shawl ; and in
cold weather, lined aud bordered with the
j heads, from beneath which their hair
' hangs dowu over their shoulders, while
