BREAKFAST.
But with the journals thus madly romping over
the Shah and drling the minds Of the vlennese
with extraordinary fabrications, We have An

when he stood curiously examining the magnif-
cent dome on the palace. with It's FURNISHED crown,
painted to resemble gold and gems, the crowd

your correspondent that q proceeding of this
nature was not unexpected. But the Shah
quietly looked at the dome, and, draw

IN THE ROTUNDA.
About two the meal was ct an end, the King of
the Universe slipped his coffee, smoked his
narghiy, and, stepping into the carriage, with the
six impatient horses, drove to the rotunda door.
Here were 10000 persons gathered to receive
him. thin lane opened, guarded by policemen,
his hat in his hand, to bid him welcome. There
was no cheering. For loyal people these Aus
TRANS are very silent. The Shah descended, the
Emperor at his side about fifty eminent beings, in
various stages OF lace, gold, satin and cashmere
coming after. AS the party entered the magnif-

his wives the Shah discovered In Europe. A peal
OF bells, sent to the Exhibition by firm in Ger

The fountains began to play throwing out jets of
cooling water which flashed and spashed. There
was splendor in the sight The rotunda marvel
l01s in its grace and beauty and proportions; the
c0ngregated trophies Of science, industry and art
which thronged the rotunda hall-marbles from
Italy, porcelaines and fine clay wares from Russia,
laces and woollen fabrics from Germany, types of
every department Of the Exhibition the model of
the Brussels Bourse, the Swiss statue OF Hevetia
embracing Geneva, the extraordinary French lion,
to which we have become reconcied; the refresh

more and more wonderful as you study 1t, and well
calculated TO astonish even q monarch who had
seen London and Paris.

Crossing the rotunda slowly, the imperial party
entered the German department. The manner OF
going was In this fashion First body OF police

what interested him. Francis Joseph was
his guide and answered his questions, re-

for information. When the Shah, as was often the
case, could not comprehend what the Emperor
said In French. ne turned to his Minister, who
translated 1t into Persian. When the party came
to each department the monarchs were received
by the commissioner representing the country,
who remained with them until they passed into
another department. Your correspondent followed
the Shah in his progress and noted. as far as was
possible, the Impressions made upon the sacred
