DISTRACTION OF SHrRAz BY EAR rHoUAKE.
"A letter from Persia gives some further
particulars Of the terrible earthquake at Shi-
raz ON the 2lst Of April last. The shocks
continued up to thel4th Of May, at short
intervals every day. The first shock lasted
Eve minutes, when the Inhabitants were a
sleep, and laid nearly the whole city in ru-
ins. The writer,in speaking of the scene
next morning, says:
1 "On every side the eye could see nothing
but heap Of ruins, streets blocked up with
stones, and dead bodies being carried on
litters without the walls OF the city. IL
made the heart bleed to see the limbs of per-
sons sh5w;ng themselves from beneath the
rubbish, and men, women and children en-
deavoringto withdraw the mu;ilated bodies
Of their friends and relations from beneath
the ruins, which'ih their dispair, they were
tearing away with their teeth, their hands,
and their nails Out Of several thousand
victims, the lives of only small number
were saved. Severe shocks occurred for
| FIVE days, during which it is calculated that
twelve thousand persons perished. Ga the
fourth day large bands Of brigauds made
their appearance, and plundered the untor-
tunate inhabitants, who were without de.
| fence and without asylum, of what they had
been able to save from the ruins"

This is daodccmo volume Of 200 RACES,
which will well pay the classes to whom it is
addressed. for a careful pcrusal. The writer is
ao hale way man; all his positions ate "put
through" with boldncss and confidence cx-
hibitcd by those only who feel assured they
are advocating the truth. One object of the
work is to show the antagonism between pro-
fessional and producing interests. The evils
resulting from the asccndcncy Of capital, arc
slightly glanced at; the swindling character of
the banking principle is amply exposed, but
the great purpose of the work is to show that
the spirit of litigation is the prolific source of a
large part of the trials with which We arc be-
set in society. This spirit, it is tho interest of
lawyers to originate and cherish. That every
body knows; but every body docs not know
the ingenuity which is in rcquistion, nor the
Artifce which is resortcd to, to put good face
on the thing, from the time that bcvy of law
yers procure themselves to he n large majority
in every legislative body to make laws, so am
biguous and voluminous that their class will
be in demand to explain them, to the time that
there is decision in his favor who has tho
most money, and can employ the best read. and
most intriguing advocate.
The writer. who is evidently lawyer, says
(and this after the laws are made and cases arc
snugly in the court house,) that rules of evi.
dcncc, rules and forms Of pleading, and rules
Of practice, arc laid down in ten thousand pages
of standard works, besides three Thousand more
devoted TO the explanation of tcehnicalities.
In tho latter part of this little volume. the
author gives his views of the remedy, which is
comprixcd in thirteen laws, which the reader
will perceive are not designed to promote tho
Interests of the profession. The book is well
worth an attentive hearing.

together, when an explanation of the principles
or causes of the phenomena, would scarcely
bring a score to the scenci That those who
make little use OF the reflective faculties, should

chiefly to their delight; but that thinkers, per-

not so easily accounted for. It were wise for

A Dark Affair.


Catching runaway slave was not rcputcd to
be an easy thing in Chicago several years ago !;
and from the result Of an attempt made hero
during the past week, we suppose it has not
improved. On last Thursday VIC learn that q
person from Missouri got out, and had placed
in the hands Of the U. s. Marshal, papers au-
thoriEing him to arrest as fugitive slave, a
black man who had resided in this country
during the last seven years, and who, in that
time, by his industry and bushes management,
had become the owner Of a good farm, and
sundry chattels in the shape of horses. cattle,
swine and sheep. There were parties who
looked longingly upon tic black mans fields
and cattle, and knew not how to satisfy their
desires so easily and at so small cost as by nid-
ing in what .hat world-rcnow ned act, the
Fugitive Slave Law, styles & summary" pro-
ceeding, in reference TO his case. The combi-
nation OF interests was formidable-the parties
being those who wanted his farm, the stock
and improvements the man who wanted his
slave, and the U. S. Marshal, WHO could have
an opportunity Of showing his devotion to the
that Of slavo-catcher. But still the runaway
was to be caught, and that was tho worst part
of the business, for he had, incontincntly, con-
cludcd that the climate Of Illinois was more
important to his health than the safety of the
Union, and had adopted measures to hold his
residence. AT this particular juneture, how
ever, number of persons, desiring to show
their great regard for the Constitution, repaired
to the Marshars Office about eleven o'clock at
night, and in body proilrcd their services to
bring the fugitive into lis official presence
One Of the partics-a peace man, by the bye
manifested his zeal by the display Of an ugly
looking shootirg.iron; another by holding up
large bluudcrbuss looking gold.headcd cane,
which he had received MS a reward for certain
services rendered In a simiur case several years
ago; and others by sundry whispcrirgs and
winks that could not be mistaken. The Mar.
shal was overcome by such Manifestation of
patriotism and was so affected that he tremblcd
all over-so deep was tho emotion of his heart.
The master of the runaway was also present
but, being modest, and not desiring TO be
hero, positively denied his ilcntity-thus pre-.
venting any display Of that obscquiousncss
which persons like himself have received ir
other localities. Tho interview, however,
strange as it may seem, was tho runaway's
salvation. Tho Marshal and master were over.
come by the generosity of thcir auditors, and,
decming that the sacrifice was sufficiently great
to atone for the wound that the Constitution
had received from the black delinquent, Let the
matter drop. The next morning, the gentleman
from our sister State was seen leaving the city
in the X. l. X. II. cars, and we doubt not will,
when he returns among his ncishbors, do just
ice to the people of Chicago. c6ieayo Tribune,
