THE CADrs REVENGE.

y terrible story comes to us from
Persia. In one of the districts labor
ing man had been sentenced to be bas-
tinadOed for some Offense, receiving 12O
blows on the sOles of his feet. As he
sank down on his knees after the sen
tence had been carried out. and it was
believed that his injuries were of Sc
rious character. he called the Judge to
his side, intinjitinS that he had a terri
BILE secret to reveal As ne could only
speak in a whisper, the Judge placed his
eur TO the lips of the fainting man, when
the latter seized it with his teeth. and in
his agony bit it off In Persia the loss
of an ear, no matter under what circum-
stances, i considered a lasting disgrace,
and the Judge so felt it. He at once
gave orders to have the prisoner care
fully cared for, assuring the physicians
that if they did not save his life their
own should pay the penalty, and they
succeeded. When the prisoner was fully
recovered he was sentenced to have his
teeth pulled out one by one in the pres
ence of the mob, and this frightful sen
tence was carried out, two days being
exhausted in the work No pains were
taken with the horrible job. and the
jaws were broken and crushed until the
whole lower part Of the mans face was
a mangled mass, and his suiTerings We're
80 great that many Of the men tainted
in witnessing the operation. Two days
after the little life in the man was
beaten ont Of the sOles Of his feet. and
the Judge having fully satisfied his thirst
for vengeance, committed suicide.

From the well known character Of the
