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 tract of country affords. There,
having no fixed habitatiOn, and depending
on their flocks and herds, they at one time
settle by the immense valleys of the ker-
man Mountains, at another time traverse
the rich pasture land of the Caspian pro-
vinces. 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 higher grade
| of civilization than those who live by hunt
ing and fishing, they are inferior to those
engaged i'm agriculture and manufactures
but their marked courage and indepen'
dence of character distinguish them from
either class. Their creed is that OF tn,
Sunnites, who are believers in theso-callet
Sunna, collection of moral and legal ira
ditions traced to the Prophet Mohammed
The other great class of inhabitants. tina
form by far the majority, is the settlet
population--the Yajiks, so called, who ar
descendants of the ancient Persian race
To them are confined the manufactures
agriculture, and the arts. From the fac
of their being directly under the despoti
authority of the Shah, they do not posses
any independence of action, and perhap
,, from this has arisen their spirit of dishon
esty, cunning, and servility. That fin
culture which prevails SO largely with u
seems foreign to the Persians, and all thei
doings and their mode of living appea
! tainted with that barbarism which we ca

civilized nations. A love of splendor ha

About the Apache Women.

The usual presents to parents for their
daughters are horses, game, firearms,
blankets and trinkets. Some girls, daugh-
tiers of chiefs, cost as much as twenty-five
horses, not on account of their beauty, but
the honor of the thing. A man can dis
card or sell his wife. She has no voice In
the transaction. Physically the Apaches
are probably one of the handsomest OF the
Indian races, especially the females.
Their complexion Is nut-brown. Many
of the women are charming brunettes,

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 mbearable, put an end
to his 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 afterwart
found in the Danube. The conduct OF th'
unnatural father so disgusted the public
that he was lynched, and so severely beat
en- that he will probably be confined to be-
for many days. The owner of the circu
is also sufferer by the terrible occurrence
as no one cares to go near the place.-Lon

ALEXANDRIA, La, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 49,

ment clear, golden CLEAN was poured
down on the face Of the injured man, and
slowly, 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
sob 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,
family but earnestly:
II knew it was you. There was hardly
room to stop the train in, but we'd have
all gone to pieces if it hadn't been for you
and your light. You've saved them all,
God bless you'll"
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 a 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? Non
sense! 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 owl
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, fol
Katie was no prophecies, nor could even
her lantern throw any light on the future
She could not sec, just then, and yet the day
that followed brought it all to pass, tina
neither she herself, nor Grandfather ant
Grandmother Crowninshield, would con
sent to any more railroading or signaling
1t was much better, indeed, they all dc
clared, nor did he himself pretend to den
it, that Katie's husband should farm broa
acres of the fertile valley than that h
