Constantinoplc and then overland to Persia Near
the sea OF uromia he found an ancient sect OF Christ
ans called HISTORIANS They claimed TO have
preserved the ancient faith comparative
purity. No pictures or crucixes or images con-
iessionals were there. The religion OF the country
was Mohammedau. The HISTORIANS Arnenians and
Jews were tolerated, and proseytsn from them was
forbidden by law. For a Mohammcdan to change his
religion death was the punishment. At present the
large majority Of these HISTORIANS gathered in

cry. "komo ta-mou shdbahone AHdhan--.Rlse up;

these people, and on this basis they began work. For
ton years they made little progress. Now, however.
there were Christian churches that had sprung up all
over the land Of Persia. They were mns.ered to by
native preachers taught by the Missionaries in a new
seminary there. Those young preachers took
wives native girls who were taught female
mary. Many OF these churches entirely selsup

by the pastor, Rev. John Johns, on the somewhat
peculiar subject 'Orange Pecs on the Pavement" The

temptations OF all Sorts Some of thcm were hardly

one was hurt by them. No one thought anything
OF those little bits Of orange peel lying on tho sidewalk
One might pass through the street OF times

cautiously put his heel upon one OF them and tall

South America, On the da;e of the tidal wave
which produced such disastrous effect OF Ha-
vail The telegrams are By way of Lon
don, sad are very brief, giving but few par
ticulzrs. The city Of Iquique which is re-
ported IS destroyed by the earthquake, is !
small seaport town near the southern point Of
Peru about 100 miles soath Of the city Of Ari-
ca, which WIS destroyed by the great earth
quake Of lS5S. It IS situated opposite the
Island Of Iquique. from which immense guam
titles Of guano have been taken in years past.
and has 3 population of several thousand.
There is some uncertainty in regard to the
loss Of life, on the 10Th Of May last, one des-
patch saying that there were no lives lost, and
another that many Of the natives were killed
The same discrepancy Is observable in regard
70 the shipping which was in the hArbor
