A Village Of I,eners.

At little distance after leaving Sinjan, we
came TO small collection of mud novels,
nuddied together at some distance from the
road. When we drew near the whole popu-
latlon turned out and stood in line, men, wo-
men and children, by the the side of the path,
all begging vociferously for aims. These un-
happy beings, thus living in habitatilns hard
ly hted for brute animals, not to mention hu-
man beings, cut off from all communication
with their fellow-creatures, save such as are
afflicted with the same loathsome and incura-
BILE disorder, were lepers, who, by the strange
custom of Persia, while prohibited from COM
Ing within a certain distance OF q town or viii
lage, are yet allowed, horrible as it may seem,
to live together, contract marriages, and thus
perpetuate the curse through an entire race.
The miserable Wretches poured out OF their
dens like pack OF halfstarved hounds, fall
ing over each other In their eagerness to be
the first to reach the vicinity of the traveller,
whom they dare not approach nearer than n
certain regulated distance. Their swollen and
distorted features were dreadful to look at,
their limbs, deformed and eaten away by the
revolving malady, were held out imploringly,
and in some instances the features blackened
and scOrched by the virulence of the terrible
disorder, scarcely retained the appearance OF
those OF human beings. The whole OF the
northwest of Persia would seem to be affiict-
Ell with this frightful scourge OF humanity.
During the remainder of the way to Tabreez
not day passed that we did not meet with
one or more of these. communities, severed
from the sympathy and care of relatives and
friends. No attempt is made to cure the dis
ease. The instant it shows itself the sufferer
is banished from the society of his kindred to
that of those similarly afflicted. In his misery
he is supported by their offerings and by the
labor Of his own hands, SO long as bis strength
lasts. In the case Of women, the severing OF
all family ties, and the life of wretchedness

An Iowa paper has the following story.
which recalls the incidents of Tennyson's
poem: s dbaag sas
"Thirty months ago a German, living on
White street, in Dubuque, Illinois, volunteer
ed with the 21st infantry and went to the war.
We shall call him Schmidt for short. He left
a wife who was rather good-looking, quite in
dustrious, very frugal and childless. Time
rolled on, and Schmidt, says the Dubuque
Times, went with his regiment to Vicksburg.
There he was shot one day and was left for
dead on the field. The sad intelligence was
sent to his wife by his captain, and she imme-
diately obtained the assistance of q lawyer,
secured his back pay and a widows pension.
She drew the latter regularly, and with what
she earned, managed to live comfortably. In
few mOnths she attracted the attention OF
one Sehones, miller by occupation. He
wooed and won, and for him she gave up the
pension. They were married last Summer.

them until last Saturday morning, when, just

The Soldiers, Graves at ssbastopol.

The following is from the Nicol@f Messen.
ger, Russian Journal: n /.
"During the whole of the siege OF Sebasto-
pol the dead were inferred upon the SPOT
where they fell. The result was number OF
small cemeteries and separate tombs, which
surrounded Sebastopol. Upon leaving the Cri-
mea the allies entrusted to US the onerous and
difficult task of guarding the inviolability Of
these tombs. ~ 7'sNS2-- @ feA g
The Russian authorities did what they
could, but ii was utterly impossible to place q
sentinel over each tomb. By degrees the for
mer owners returned to their lands with their
cattle. Some OF the cemetry walls were de-
faced, monuments broken, crosses overthrown.
Complaints, correspondence, negotiations be-
tween the governments interested followed
The English proposed to send to the Crimea
an entire company of soldiers to watch the
tombs lit would have amounted to the iounda-
tion of an English colony In the Crimea.-
Naturally enough our government could not
accept such a proposal fsf a
The French acted much better; they sent
an engineer to Sebastopol, with orders to form
one large cemetry, to which the mortal re-
mains of their fellow countrymen who died
during the siege were afterwards to be trans
ferred. M. Baker, a landowner in the neigh-
borhood, whose property is situated at about
three miles from Sebastopol, gave a piece Of
