The Horrible Famine in Persia.

A correspondent Of the Lovant
Herald, writing from Tahrcez, April
30, gives an account of the famine,
which goes to confirm tho later tcIe-
graphic news Of the extrcmitics to
which tho people havc been reduced.
The writer says
The details which reach US here of
the uestitution and misery whioh the
drought of last year has caused in the
central and Southern provinces or
Persia arc fcarrully hca. t., vndcring.
That the people are lying of hunger
even iii tho streets Of the capital is II
minor phase Of this terrible calamity.
In Khorassan parents arc selling
their children as slaves to the rur-
conlans in order to keep them alive,
and in lspahan, MS is said, men have
been seized in the act Of digging up
the corrscs to serve as food for their
starving families. In Shirnz-Kcrman

in hand Of decorating the house, aud

The Power of Artillery.

1. The recent conilict between the
French and Prussians has been decid.
cd-like all modern conflicts arc now
more by the power Of artillery than
by mere hand. to had engagcmcnts..-
New inventions in tho Instruments of
warfare have placed mere physical
strength altogether in the minority. :
1t used to be the boast that the British
soldier was superior in the matter of
. bayonct charge to any other soldier
in the world. Now, however, times
arc altered. Tho result of victory
depend, not only on the power Of the
men individually, but on the power
of the artillery collectively. Yet
this leads us to an old reflection
namely, whether tho mon of the pres.
cnt day are equal or inferior in statue
to the warriors Of ancient times. The
generally accepted belief is that the
mcn of the present day are quite as
stout and stalwart us they were in the
old historic ages long gone by. Even
ut Lord Eslintoun's famous tourna-
mcnt, not few Of the knights had
some difficulty in finding armor large
enough to wear. And going even
farther oack, if we take the Egyptian
mummy cases in the British Museum,
few of them would contain an ave-
rage sized Englshtnan. So much for
antiquity. The Romans and Greeks
of old were shorter, lighter race
than the GaulS, from whom thc first
fprang, and shrank in .timo. The
acntries suffoca'cd at rompcii are
quite as short rs tho smallest French
linesman, without the broad, we'll set
look 50 often observable in the latter
sturdy little race, We venture to think
that II brigade of our British "Guard"
would have made shor, work Of even
the picked men Of a Roman legion

spite of his iufirmities, however, he
makes his Influence widely felt by
means of conversation with men who
come from all parts Of the South to

he does not receive visitors from
distance. In this way he keeps up
his acquaintance with public men
throughout the South, and is still po-
tent IN controlling the action Of the
Democratic party in this State, and,
to some exteut, in all tho Southern
States. Probably no man in Georgia
wields tho influence that he does with
the class that still refuses to accept

The NDrShalShip.

The Washington Patriot, Of Mon.
day gives the following version of
affairs of the Mushalship, at this
pdlpt:
Only week ago, Wallace, member
of Congress from South Carolina, who
Had testified "satis 'actorily" before
the Outrage Committcc," had his son
appointed u. S. Marshal for Charles
ton: He rejoiced, like Berger and
Settle; when they served MS swift
wlshesses against North Carolina,
over the value of afllI wits, and was
doubtless Comforting himself with a
share of the prospective spoils. But
the ousted Marshal, Mr.. Louis e.
Johnson, SON of Hon: Rcverdy John
son, did not take the dismissal quiet
ly. He presented Himself at hong
Branch, ipbibGd its brAcing atmos.
phere, and exrosed the wrong of his
removal with sufficient energy to be
restored.
So he Is ii agaih; and Wal!pSe is
out. But whether Wallace will stay
Quits quite another affair; We ex-
poet to see delegation whsking
through here BY the ne&t train to the
seaside Executive mansion, brimful
or indignant "loyalty,," and demand
ing justice cc-the last thing they should
see: 20, there is no telling Who 10 OF
will be Marshal at Charleston, until
these rival roses shall have composed
tbelt griefs; the prospect far which is
fdr from cnGoufdglng ut this time.
Wallaco and two Of his coIorcd col
leagues demanded the head of John.
s'n, and they got it. Now colorcd
Congressman are in favor at tho
Palace, and IL they insist upon a Sc.
cond dccapitation, and threaten things
terrible, we arc inclined to think
"His Exccllcncy" will ordcr another
removal. And after that history may
repeat itself.
A correspondent of the N. O.

story "Not many months ago, as q
