owing to curious law. the imposts upon
tillers of the soil are very much heavier
than those exacted from the dwellers in
towns In cities. indeed, the mass of the
population practically escape taxation.
and the revenue is raised, with the ex-
ception of poll tax, from the mer-
chants.
Before the end of winter the famine
had spread from Farsistau to the other
provinces which depended upon it for
supplies. The cities of Ispahan, Yezd.
Herman and Shiras were crowded with
starving multitudes. Teheran, the capi-
tai. suffered least. but even there the
privations were terrible. Wheat in ker-
man rose to nine times its usual price.
The new crop has failed also. The
people have endeavored to keep them.
selves alive by eating grass and roots,
but even this scanty nourishment has
now been exhausted.
/ In Khorassan, which borders on Ca
bool and the wild steepes of Central
Asia, people sold their children into
slavery among the Turcomans in order
to rave them from starvation. and at the
same time to acquire few tomatuns to
spend in the bazaar for sustenance.
1t would be well if all the provinces
could have disposed of their children in
the same manner.
In Farsistan parents slew and then
devoured their offsprings.
In Ishapan men have been caught in
the act of e4huming the corpses of the
dead for the purpose of eating them.
Among the results Of the famine may
be mentioned that all domestic animals,
even horses, of which Persia raised a
great many. not only for her own use,
but also for expectation to India, have
been killed and eaten.
A late dispatch further inform US that
the cemeteries in Shiraz have to be
guarded by troops, lest the people, infu-
rated by hunger, should rife them of
their ghastly contents.
| The people are almost beyond the
reach of help. Even if food were
brought from India there are no cattle
left to transport it into the interior, and
even if they were, it is months jour
ney from Bushire to Ishapan, and six
weeks to Khorassan.
This dearth will probably be the most
horrible on record, Two years ago a
couple of millions Of people died in In
dia of starvation. Unless. however, the
Persian Government consents to the de-
portation of its subjects, there will be
among its eight millions of people NOR
,ality even more appalling than this.
The report that the plague has broken
out is not confirmed; but the cholera
and famine fever are very busily at work
and these are sufficiently terrible agents
of death The famine-stricken people
are covered with hideous sores, the con-
sequence of hunger, while they burn in
the torture of devouring fever.
The Russian government. in view Of
the probability Of the cholera spreading
into its dominions, has established quar-
antine regulations along the frontier.-
Que path of escape for the Persians is
thus blocked up. Probably the British
Indian government will soon adopt simi-
lar precautions, and tlis will cause the
steamers from Bombay to stop running.

Alexandrians, wake up be something
or be nothing. This "alf-an- 'alf" way of
living is detestable. Here what the bible
says Of halfway churches
1 know thy works, thou hast name that. thou
Invest, and art dead
That thou art Mother cold nor hot I would
thou vert cold or hot.
So then, because thou art luke-warm and
neither cold nor hot, l will spew the out Of my
mouth.
What is true in spiritual affairs, is true
in temporal affairs. Wake up wake up
"A long pull, strong pull, and pull al
together" and Alexandria will be re-
deemed-elevated to the proud eminence
that Nature, location. climate, and other
blessings designed she should be.
We are pleased to notice that our worthy
citizen, Mr.. Edward Hughes, offered the
following bill at a recent meeting of the city
council
AN AcT to promote and encourage manufactures
in the city of Alexandria.
WHEREAS, the city of Alexandria, possessing
manufacturing facilities in an eminent
degree, but which are rendered nugatory by an
unwise and illiberal policy of taxation there
fore,
Sec. Be 1t enacted by the Board of Aldermen
after the passage Of this act, any person firm or
corporation that shall establish any manufactu-
ring business within the limits of this city, shall
be exempt from all taxation the part of the
city for the period Of ten years from the passage
of this act.
Sec. 2. All acts or parts of acts in conflict or
which are repugnant TO this act are hereby
pealed.
