Sad Suicide in Vienna.

The greatest excitement has lately been
created in Vienna by the suicide of the
daughter of circus-rider, in consequence
of the ill-treatment she received from her
father The poor girl, who was but four
teen years of age, had attained a high de-
gree of excellence in her performance,
and was great favorite with the public.
Her father treated his children very rough
ly at all times, and ill-used them when
they failed at rehearsals to such degree
that his colleagues often demonstrated
with him most earnestly on the subject.
One Of his pupils, boy of thirteen, find
ing this treatment unbearable, put an end
TO bis existence. The other day the pretty
daughter of this tyrant failed in the re
hearsal of some tour de force, and was
shockingly maltreated in consequence.
The girl then left the circus and never re-
turned. Her corpse was soon afterward
found in the Danube. The conduct of the
unnatural father so disgusted the public
that he was lynched, and so severely beat
en- that he will probably be confined to bed
for many days. The owner of the circus
is also sufferer by the terrible occurrence
as no one cares to go near the place.-Lp7e

The Shah'S Subjects.


Persia has always been the home Of
vast numbers of those wandering nomad
tribes who have chiefly been attracted
thither by the abundance of meadow land
that large traetsof country affords. There.
having no fixed habitati0n, aud depending
on their f1oeks and herds, they at one time
settle by the immense valleys of the Kerr
man Mountains, at another time traverse
the rich pasture land of the Caspian pro-
yinceS. These nomads are divided into
three races-Turkomans. kurds, Luurs,
and Arabs, and being governed by their
own khans, are really independent, only
being nominally subject to the Shah. OF
the ten millions of inhabitants that people
Persia, over one-third OF these are nomads.
The Turkomans are by far the most
numerous, and are at the present day the
ruling race, from whom the governors of
provinces are always chosen. The nomads,
still retaining the old habits peculiar to
the tribe, are greatly addicted to robbery,
and are ever ready to enter upon aggres-
sive warfare. Though of a higher grade
of civilization than those who liveby hunt
| ing and fishing, they are inferior to those
| engaged in agriculture and manufactures !:
| but their marked courage and indepen-
dence of character distinguish them from
either class. Their creed is that of the
! Sunnites, who are believers in the sO-called
Sunna, collection of moral and legal ira
ditions traced to the Prophet Mohammed.
The other great class of Inhabitants. that
form by far the majority, is the settled
population-the Yajiks, SO called, who are
descendants of the ancient Persian race.
To them are confined the manufactures,
agriculture, and the arts. From the fact
of their being directly under the despotic
authority of the Shah, they do not possess
any independence of action, and perhaps
from this has arisen their spirit of dishon-
esty, cunning, and servility. That fine
culture which prevails SO largely with us
seems foreign to the Persians, and all their
doings and their mode of living appear
tainted with that barbarism which we can
only truly understand in the case of un-
civilized nations. A love of splendor has
an amazing influence among the Persians,
and in gratifying this spirit they viii dc
much that is preiudicial to our feelings
Their houses, many of which are of earth
and mud, bear contemplate outward ap
pearance, but surpass all magnificenct
within. Particularly are they anxious
about their apparel; nothing, it woult
seem, is spared that would tend to ado
splendor to their dress, and everything
thati costly is indulged in.

"Our Girls.v

THE Denver (Col. Tribune says: Rich
ard Mackay, who has just been sent to the
Penitentiaiy for a term Of eighteen months
for manslaughter, owns some of the best
mining claims about Nevada, in Gilpin
county, and is reported to be worth from
S75, 900 to 100000. His case was carried
through all the courts, lasting nearly three
wears, and conducted by the best counsel
in the Territory. He has spent $4,000 in
the effort to get clear. Mackay gained the
high opinion of officers and all with whom
he had TO do, and during his confinement
in Jail here was allowed regularly to 60
alone to his meals at Charpiot's and else
where, and the night before he was taken
to Canon City, unaccompanied, went over
and had an hours chat with Judge Brom-
well. He was always prompt to his word
and it is believed by officers here that hc
could have been trusted to go alone to tht
Penitentiary and deliver himself up.

ment clear, golden CLEAN was poured
down on the face of the injured man, and
tslowly, as if the radiance itself had
wakened him, he opened his eyes and
looked dreamily about him.
The surgeon heard sigh that was half a
Isob close behind him, and looked up to see
that that and the sudden light came from
Katie and her lantern, but just then the
questioning eyes of the wounded conduc-
tor fell upon her face, and he exclaimed,
Efaintly but earnestly: ~
: knew it was you. There was hardly
room to stop the train in, but we'd have
Jail gone to pieces if it hadn't been for you
and your light. You've saved them all,
God bless youl''
And so Katie Crowninshield suddenly
found herself heroine, with swarm of
grateful people around her, very much to
her discomfort. They would have made
her present if she would have allowed
them, but the only really welcome words
she heard from any one were those of the
surgeon:
"What, killed? A man like him? Nom
sensel he'll carry his arm in sling for a
month or so, but he'll be up again in a
fortnight
OF course, no time was lost in repairing
the track and in forwarding the passengers,
and few hours only saw the old farm
house as quiet and peaceful-looking as ever.
Even the surgeon had done his work and
gone. The engine lay battered and help
less among the bowlders where it had
forced its willful way. The conductor lay
still on Grandfather Crowninshield's bed,
and the fitful slumbers the surgeons
opiate gave him were starry with signals
that white fingers held up before his dream
ing eyes. As for Katie and her lantern,
| the latter had fairly burned itself out and
asleep on the little table in Katie's own
room, and she herself had by no means
clearly comprehended, as yet, the happy
consequences Of her railway signaling.
1t was very much like dream to her, for
| Katie was no prophecies, nor could even
her lantern throw any light On the future.
She could not see, just then, and yet the days
| that followed brought it all to pass, that
neither she herself, nor Grandfather and
Grandmother Crowninshield, would con-
sent to any more railroading or signaling.
| 1t was much better, indeed, they all de
clared, nor did he himself pretend to deny
| it, that Katie's husband should farm broad
acres of the fertile valley than that he
| should any more be at the. mercy of train
wreckers and wayside lanterns. And
| when the question was decided to her
liking, such hug and kiss was that which
Katie Crowninshield gave
