Yet scarce did mean for that:

And, the danger past, would appear again.
For she was water rat.

Of Persia will visit Europe in the early
spring of next year. A telegraphic
communication has been received a..
Teheran which announces the fact as
certain, in spite of the desperate oppo.
sition offered by the Conservatives of
the Court, who are frightened out of
their wits by the thought that the
Kingdom may be left without Padi-
shah. His Majesty, however, will have
his own way, and official preparations
on an immense scale are being made
for the voyage. We can hardly wonder
that the Tories Of Teheran are nervous
about the project, considering that for
two thousand three hundred and fifty.

has visited our continent. The last
sovereign Of the land who undertook
the journey was Xcrxes, when he in.

certainly not come hither with any.

The French Government lately made
. very singular request to the Alta
Italia Railway Company. 1t asked that
soma OF the trains now running through
the Mont Gems Tunnel might be sus-
pended, in order to facilitate the estab.
lishment Of powerful mines in the
French half Of the passage. In case Of
war, these mines would be exploded,
and the tunnel would thus be blocked
up. The company declined to accede
to the request; and, explanations hav-
ing been exchanged between the two
Governments, orders have been given
to suspend the boring of the mines.
