An Easy.going Ruler.

Nassr-ed-Din, the Shah OF Persia, has
started for Europe to see what is going
on. He is on terms of intimacy with
the Russians, who have appropriated y
portion of Persian territory, and have
the Shah At their mercy. Nassr-ed-D in's
Empire is not the flourishing Persia of
old. \ large portion OF the country is
very sterile, owing TO the destruction of
the forests which once abounded, but
the Shah nevertheless keeps his tax
gatherers on the jump, and collects an
annual revenue of Sl5, 00O, 100. of which
he spends SS,000,00o, and deposits 4
large amount in gold in vault, where
Is reported to exist a huge treasure, of
no use to any body, as the Shah never
spends dollar on roads, canals, or any
public works. When he goes away he
leaves his premier, Mira Hussein Khan,
to run the Government, and, as all the
Governors of the various provinces are
his relations and good revenue collect
ors, he is quite satisfied with his lot, land
carefully avoids getting into a war,
through fear of the Tajik-Turcomans,
who hang about his eastern border
ready to strike. The Shah's army does
not number over 10000 men. Of late
years he has had them drilled by a
Frenchman named Butler Travellers
say, however, that the army is worth
and can be put to flight by a
few companies of European soldiers

Anstralia's Rapid Development.

Ninety years have elapsed since the
Australian colony was occupied by Eng.
land. On the 10Th of February, 1888,
Capt. Phillips anded there in the capa-
city OF Governor, and took possession OF
the continent. then wild and wholly I'M
cultivated. He had with him a certain
number of convicts, and at once set
about the installation of penal settle
ment. The world was very far then
from foreseeing that this territory,
which is nearly equal to Europe in SUI
pertces, would, in less than century.
contain apopulation of two millions and
a half of whites, and that its annual
commerce would amount TO fs5, OO0, 900,
a sum nearly equal TO that of Great
Britain al the commencement of the last
century. The colonists, taken as a
whole, possess revenue of f16, OO0, 200,
and the fields which, at the time of oc-
cupation, were only peopled by kanga-
roos, now feed seven millions head of
cattle and sixty-three millions of sheep.
The first great impulse given to the
prosperity of the colony was the discov-
cry of gold, but during the last quarter
OF century many other and more last
ing sources of wealth have been discoy-
cred in its agricultural and mining pro-
auctions.

Richmond In the Last Days of the War
The Uprising of the Female Commune
yeff. Davis shows His Nerve.
4 writer in the New York Sun gives
the following as coming from the lips OF
Major John NJ Daniel well known resi-
dent of Virginia. The narrative was
drawn from the Major 10y 3 discussion
concerning the growth of Communism
and its power as displayed in the rail-
road riots last winter.
The Major said that when Harper's
Ferry was captured at the beginning of
the war, all the available machinery for
the manufacture of arms was taken to
Richmond. Hundreds of workmen and
their wives and daughters had been en-
ployed in the arSenals and machine
shops, and they followed the machinery
TO the capital in search of employment.
They got it. For time they were reg
ularly paid in good money, and every
thing moved smoothly. But as the cur
rency deprecated they began TO suffer
The money received by the workmen
would not support their families. As
the war progressed Confederate notes
became almost valueless. Grant had
mis- hand on the throat of the Confeder-
acv at Petersburg. The wages of the
Norkmen would not purchase food for |

'Oh, mine kott, mine kott! l ish ruin
ed. l ish ruinedi' was the cry. But
they made no further defense. Indeed
it would have been dangerous for then
to attempt it, for if one Of the female
robbers had been hurt, the crowd of hus-
bands and brothers would surely have
avenged it.
Sand so," said the Major, ''the spo.
liation continued. At last rumor ran
through the street, The Governor is
coming 1t proved true. Down the
hill came Gov. Letcher, accompanied
by his staff and few friends. He as
cended cart, and madea speech, which
had as much effect as such speeches
usually do have. The mob of women
kept steadily at work, and the Governor
pumped himself dry without producing
the least effect. The crowd on the out
skirts opened respectfully for him to
pass out, and the Jews moaned more
pitifully than ever The women pitch
ed in with renewed vigor, and shawls,
sugar, poplins, bottles of pickles, rib
bons, washing soda, muslins, and bags
of hominy were pitched into the wagons
at the doors. Then 2 second rumor
spread over the crowd. The President
was coming. This also proved true.
President Davis rode down from the
Capitol, followed by Capt. Gay with a
hundred of the Guards. He mounted
wagon, and every body was silent l
had seen him several times, but had
never heard him speak. So forced my
way within ten feet of him and stood
spellhound. 1t was the most eloquent
speech | ever heard. Tall and slender,
he swayed with emotion like the willow
in the wind. His words were carefully
chosen. He spoke of his experience in
the Mexican war, and while expressing
his deepest sympathy with the SORROWS
and sufferings of the children of the
Confederacy, sternly maintained the
necessity of law and order.''
The Major heard that many of the
women stopped pillaging, and gathered
at distance, listening to the words that
they could catch. At the close of his
speech the President took cut his watch
and gazed at it long and earnestly.

The order was obeyed, land the ring

began to give way.

still looking at his watch, "'if this
street is not cleared within five minutes,

A Miser Robbed.

The Columbus 20 J Dispatch says: j
j. Winegardner, better known in the
locality in which he lived as JEFF. Wine
gardner, was robbed Of q large sum of
money Tuesday night, April ID He
lives two and half miles northeast of
Nashville, Fairfield County, Nashville
is nine miles east of Lancaster, on the
Maysville pike. Mr.. Winegardner's
house is between Nashville and Pleas
antville. He is an old man, and has the
name of being miser. He is termed a
miser because he never deposited money
in banks, but preferred to hoard it about
home, and was very close in his deal
ings with his fellow-men. His age is
not known. He married recently. 1t is
an old saying that misfortunes never
come singly. His residence is old-fash-
Toned, and is situated on $500 acres of
land, of which he is sole proprietor In
this old house, in room adjacent to his
bedroom, and in and about Il closet in
that room-called a wardrobe in the
city-Mr. Winegardner had his money.
There was box twelve inches long,
six inches deep and six inches wide, fill
ed with eagles, half-eagles, and quarter
eagles. This box was received from his
sister, and had never been opened. Mr..
Winegardner's four brothers and two
sisters are all dead. They handed their
wealth down TO one another, and the
last to die was 4 sister, who handed
him this box. There was some gold
and silver in another box and $4,000
in greenbacks, and some money in
the room where he slspt. The burglar
or burglars opened window leading
into the room where the wardrobe was.
They took the box of gold, and the box
containing the gold, silver and green
backs, and overlooked $4,000 that was
on top of the closet. Mr. Ninegardner
had never counted the box of gold re-
coived from his sister, nor does not know
how much money there was in it. Some
body has estimated the amount ut from
$1,000 to $4,000. The day before the
robbery 4 man came there and wanted
TO borrow $1,000. He was informed
that Mr.. Winegardner hadn't the money
that day, and was Invited to call the
next day and get it. Nothing moro is
said by our informant about this man.
Whether he called or not is not known.
The box that contained the coin was
found in the yard. The burglar stole
one of Mr.. Winegardner's horses 10 get
away. The horse returned home about
s or O'Clock the following (Wednes-
day. morning. There is but little or no
sympathy shown by the people of the
neighborhood for Mr.. Winegardner's
loss. He has offered reward of $500
for the recovery of the money. His
wealth is estimated at from $500,0G0 TO
100000. The stolen money is part of
some that has been boarded since 1860.
In addition to managing his farm, Mr..
Winegardner was Il regular money
shaver.

The Years King Lear.

Winter, desolate lord,
The king of the yester-year,
Wanders a witless Lear
When the wild winds are abroad.
Crowness save only for weeds and nettes
And thorns that have longtime forgotten the rose;
And the white hoarfrost his white beard settles
AS his piteous breathing comes and goes;
(T'he hedge-sparrow fed the cuckoo so long)
Sharper and more unkind
Than serpent's tooth or the wind,
The pain of his bitter wrong.
Alas, King Learl
Three daughters sat at his feast:
Spring wore the may in her hair,
Summer was tall and fair,
Autumn was youngest and least.
Said Spring, "As the sun is to eyes that tighten,
AS the space Of the sky to bird set free,
Is my lord to my love.' And, elbow shall heighten
Her words" spoke Summer, Sin praising of thee?"
(7'hat such a king should play 5opeepO
"More dear than all delight,
Than dawn is to day, or to night
The folded feathers of sleep
My father, King Lear!''
''with shadowy woods where cling
The April's latest SHOWS,
Meads where river flows
We make thee lady, Spring.
And for guerdon of love that Summer has given
She hath to her dover the high sweet sun,
And the wealth of wheat when the winds of heaven
Like the shining of waters across it run.''
(ITbe seUen stars are no more than seven)
"Two parts have given away
OF my kngdom-what wilt say
That the third to thee be given,
Last child of Lear?"
"Nothing: nor more nor less
Than my bond, 1 love my lord;
To say 1 have no word,
For speech is fooshness.
The bird that fears for her young still futters
Far from her nest with a tender cry
And far away from the heart that utters
Its love too loudly, doth true love he"
(T6en they for sGddenjoy did a1eep)
$50 forth from out mine eyes,
So young and over-wise-
And take with thee and keep
The curse of Lear!''
He came to the house of Spring:
"Let me little stays
She turned him with scorn away,
Him and his following.
And Summer denied him and would not see him,
That the storms his wild squires might not havoc
her corn;
'''' sAa har face from him and TUNED to flee him,
And left him in darkness cusss. .sapIarp.
Through the sharp ha,cthorm blous the cold scisd)
But Autumn warmed him and fed
With wine of her grapes and bread
True and tender and kind
Daughter Of Lear.
His ancient head bows down,
The length of his beard of snow
Mixed with the golden flow
Of her hair on her crimson gown;
And his trembling hands that wander about her,
His lips that bless her with lifes late breath,
Are too weak to hold her, too sad without her,
And cannot keep her from coming death.
(Ver not his ghoSt-O, let him pass.)
Leave him to silent death
Thus autumn perisheth
And winter wanes. Alas
The years King Leari
