FAMINE N PERSIA.
The drought last year in the central
and southern provinces and the consequent
partial failure Of crops has caused great
destitution and misery all winter.
TAXES INCREASED.
At the same time taxes were greatly in
creased on the people at Lariston, which
brought on the:famine, causing large num-
bers of people to leave their homes, and
consequently decrease the taxes toTthe
government. The new governor prom
ised to raise not only the usual sum but
still more, and this oppression drove the
rest of the country people from their
homes and thronged the cities, which pay
no taxes.
THE FAILURE OF THE CROPS
in Lariston was rendered more disastrous
because the other provinces which mostly
raise opium, cotton and silk, depended
on it for their grain. The results in Ispa-
han, iezed, Herman and Shinaz, were ter
riole. BY the end Of winter and before
the new crops came in, the
CITIES WERE CROWDED.
iezed raises opium. The people could
buy no grain and they a.e grapes and
roots. In khanassan the people
SOLD THEIR CHILDREN
to the Turcomans to save their lives, and
in other provinces people
ATE THEIR CHILDREN
having eaten all their domestic animals
and even vermin. In Ispahan men were
