found to replace them. The distracted
Governor, who has already robbed his
own people until they have nothing left
TO take, wistfully turns his eyes AMI
thoughts to his rich neighbors the Turk
mans. Forthwith he organizes an ex-
petition, and sends forth spies to ascer-
tain az what point are encamped the
greatest number of Turkman women
and horses, and the smallest number of
men. This being ascertained, he starts
at the dead Of night, accompanied by
his numbering robbers, and swoops
down upon his unfortunate victims.
Those Tu-kmans who are able to fight,
or likely 70 give any future trouble, are
ruthlessly murdered, and the old men.
the boys, wives, daughters, and sisters
are bound hand and foot and brought
back into Persian territory.
Then commences a scene disgrace
full alike to humanity and morality.
The old women and infants are separ-
ated from the young and beautiful land
many of the Turkman women are very
beautifully; every point of the latter is
looked into and discussed by the men
told off for this purpose, just
as the intended purchaser of
horse trots out the animal to ex-
anime him. Those possessing the best
points are sent of TO the Shah and 9TH
er great men at Teberan. Those with
some fault or other are kept by the
governor himself, and distributed
among his favorites, high and low, his
servants being always generously treat
ed in the distribution of the human
spoil The horse and other stolen pro-
perty are likewise disposed of. But
what becomes of the old women and
little ones? These are locked up until
some Turkman relation can buy their
release for ego or 925 each; and, if this
happy arrangement cannot be effected,
they probably die of starvation. Icould
mention many startling instances of the
above which have lately taken place.
There is a regular season for these ex-
petitions, commencing about April and
ending about October.

AS the boys from Portsmouth halted
