ORIENTAL sHREwDNEss.

A correspondent of the New York OBJ
server narrates the following incident of
a Persian governor. which reminds one Of
the shrewdness Of Solomon.
He is very shrewd. as YOU will allow
when I tell you what he did last week.
A Jewish pedder was suddenly called
upon to pay fifty dollars. Not having Il
at hand, he applied to "hadji," or pill
grim, who had visited Mecca, for the loan
Of that amount short time. The hadii at
frst refused. but finally consen nted when
the Jew agreed to leave his pack Of goods
as pledge. In due time the Jew returned
with the nancy to redeem his property.
worth about hundred dollars. The hadji
disclaimed all knowledge Of any such trans
action-did not knew the man--had never
received any pledge from. nor given him
money. In vain the Jew pleaded for his
little sll. He finally camplaiaed to the
Prince, who ordered the hadji TO be brought
before him. The hadji came, and with
oaths. stoutly denied the charge; was great
y enraged at the "dog Of the Jew" for in-
sinuating that he was guilty of such
thing. The Prince quietly heard him
through. and then asked the Jew for his
proof. proof failed; aud the Prince turned
upon the the Jew. and berated him st .
fearful rate for presuming 10 impeach the
fair name and character of one of the faith

see YOU occijents have adopted, the Jew
completely "dried up" He trembied,
turned pale with fright, and expected to
be dealt with very surnmarily. The Prince
then turned TO the hadji, and said:
"You are good Mussulman, and doubt
less sav your prayerss"
The haJji piously rolled up his eyes, ss
much as To- say, +" God is my witness"
Very well; good Mussulman always
pares hls nails before prayer. and OF course.

The knife was produced.
A good Mussulman aiways combs his
beard before he prays: where is your

This was also forthcoming.
a good Mussulman alss carries the
sacred seal. with which he bows his head
in prayer; let me see yours"
This too was given up.
"A good Mussulmsn also usually car
ries string Of beads TO assist him in his
pious meditstions: where is yourss"
The beads we're also transported to the
hands Of the Prince, who then said TO the
Jew" Take these to the wife of the hadji,
and tell her that the hadji ccmaands her 10
give you that pack Of goods. and these are
the tokens" The Jew ran to the house
Of the hadji, showed the tokens. and de-
livered the message. The unsuspecting
