A DREADFUL CHAprER.-Our news
from Persia is frightful. That country
has fallen prey at once to famine, chol.
era, fever, ard the plague. The mcrtali-
ty is beyond computation, and the reports
of canibalism are confirmed, Troops are
on duty for the express purpose Of pfS-
venting the famished people from disin.
terring and eating the bodies of the dead
So little is known Of Persia that it i,
difficult to define the causes of this ter.
rible condition of affairs. Very few
travellers find their way into that remote
part of Asia, and its communications
with the rest of the world are unfrequent
and uncertain. There is little doubt.
however, that the same reasons which
were given years ago, in explanation of
the decay of the nation, are operative
now. McCulloch cites the language OF
kinnier, as follows: "The state Of the
country is such that the cutivator rarely
expects to reap the fruit of his labors !.
his lands and houses are liable to be
plundered by the retainers of every petty
chief, aud he and his family may, in an
instant, be deprived of all their little
capital, and reduced to beggary and
want" Under such rule as this, famines
are inevitable-and the pestilence that
follows famine produces the natural re.
suits Of which We are now hearing suci
narrowing details.

The STUBBORN DEAeoN.-There is q
story of self.willed deacon who was
always on the wrong side and ludlcrously
stubborn. When the temperance reform
was in full feather. and the question was
discussed in the church OF which he was
an officer, he, as a matter of course, op.
posed it. He would not sign the pledge !;
he would not consent to its presentation
in the Sunday School; he objected We.
hemently to the distribution of tracts.
One day, in the presence Of a full house,
one Of the members of the church made
the case of the deacon subject Of
prayer. He said; 20 Lord If thy
servant, our brother, continues his op.
position to US, wilt Thou, in thy tender
mercies, remove him from the church
militant below to the church triumphant
above" u wont co." thundered the
indignant and obstinate deacon.

What is London,

An article relating to the nwouderfui
city of London" has been going the ususl
round OF the press for some time, in which
IL is stated that the population of that
city, by the census of 1871, exceeds By
some 5o,OOO Che population of the eleven
largest cities of the United States, name.
y; New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn,
St. Louis, Chicago, Baltimore, Boston,
cincinnati, New Orleans, San Francisco
and Buffalo. The population of London
is given at 3,S83,09 that of the above
named American cities in the aggregate
o,82S,575. Now this is rather a Door
show, comparatively, for our cities, enor.
nous as has been their growth but the
disparity is not so great as it has been
made to appear. 1t has been customary
to include in the population of London
everything ranking as suburbs every

"can shake stick at" from the dome OF
st. Pauls. The original London of one
hundred years ago-that is, the present
parish of London over which the Lord
Mayor contained larger pop.
ulatlon then than it does now. In most
OF Its streets, as is the case with some OF
our Boston streets, dwelling houses have
gwen place to warehouses and stores for
the various purposes of commerce, and
the present population but little exceed,
100000. For Parliamentary purposes.
London embraces circuit of about three
miles from the General Post Office; for
parochial purposes it embraces the city Of

In our foreign policy we rest the homo
of the Government upon peace and pres
tige-the prestige which commands peac,
the peace which adds to our prestige
Our diplomatic history, from the first in
auguration of Washington down to The
present hour, contains no other chapter SC
brilliant as that which records the recent
treaty with Great Britain. A powerful
nation is not only led to do us Justice in
the matter of debts and dues, but, in the
less palpable but more enduring repara.
ton which by acknowledging errors, re.
moves the source of irritation, and grace.
fully heals the wounds of pride-thus
bringing to the adjustment of national
differences the knightly courtesy and the
Christian spirit which marks the inter-
course of true gentlemen. When we re.
fleet on the nameless and unimaginable
misery and wretchedness inflicted on hun.
dreds of thousands by the late war between
France and Prussia, the vast number tina
were slain, the still vastcr number that
were less kindly dealt with in their cruel
wounds and maimings, the hardly less
cruel burden of debt and tax falling upon
all alike, we may in some faint degree
measure the blessings of policy that
avoids war and secures peace founded
upon justice and upon honor. Our diff
ferences with England were of the gravest
possible character those between France
and Prussia were but trivial in compari-
son. The latter were settled by an ap-
peal to arms and frightful war. 1t is
to the highest honor OF an administration
at whose head stands a victorious soldier,
that the former were adjusted in the spirit
Of that great beauttudc which wns given
