A Strange Tragedy.

A curious tragedy was recently enact
nd at Littowk, on the Russian frontier
Two Jews, father and son, had Ions
lived on very bad terms, and at last the
son hired q peasant for twenty-five
pieces Of silver "to facilitate the old
man from this vale OF tears" On the
day fixed for the execution Of the crime
the peasant repsntsd, and, going to
the intended victim, confessed all that
had passed. The father made him
promise to pretend to his employer that
the crime had been committed, and
he then went to the Rabbi, Joseph
Beer, before whom he said the whole
matter. After due deliberation the
Rabbi determined TO see the son, in
form him his murdered father had ap-
psarad to him in dream, and he ask
ed his murderer whether he would
appear before terrestrial or celestial
jury.
The son quite overwhelmed, chose
the former tribunal, which was accord.
ingly formed consisting OF ten innuen-
tial parishioners. The father was place
cd behind curtain. The prisoner hav-
ing been placed at the bar, the judges
rose, and the Rabbi solemnly invited
the spirit Of the dead man to bring for.
ward his accusation. Hardly had the
son recognized the voice OF his father
when he was seized with terror and
fell dead. The procurator Of the pro-
vince, on learning the facts, at once
caused the Rabbi and the other MEM
bers of the court tU bs arrested.

The capture Of Turknan women BY
the Persian governors is one Of the
great crimes Of Persian rule In the dis.
tricts east Of the Caspian sea. An
order says Maj. Butler, OF the Bri.
tish army, sis sent to one or more Of the
governors Of those districts to the effect
that no presents have been forwarded
to the Shah by them Of lats and II they
do not Immediately dispatch substan-
tial gifts another governor will bs found
10 replace them. The distracted gov
srnor, who has already robbed his own
people until they have nothing left to
take. wistfully turns his eyes and
thoughts TO his rich neighbors--ths
Turkmans. Forthwith he organizes an
expedition and sends forth spies TO as
certain ut what point are enoamped the
greatest number Of Turkinan women
and horses aud the smallest number oi
men. This being ascertained, he starts
at the dead Of night, accompanied by
his numbering robbers, and swoops
dswn upon the unfortunate victims.
Those Turkmans who are able to fight
or likely to give any future trouble are
ruthlessly murdered and the old men,
the boys, wives, daughters and sisters
are bound hand and foot snd brought
back into Persian territory. Then comes
q scene disgraceful alike to humanity
and morality. The old women and in
fants are separated from the young and
beautiful (and many of the Turkish
women are very beautifully, every point
ofthe latter Is looked into aud discuss
ed by the men told off for this purpose,
just as the intended purchaser Of q
horse trots oat the animal to examine
him. Those possessing ths best points
are sent of to the Shah and other great
men at Teheran. Those with some fault
or other are kept by the governor him
self and distributed among his favor
ties, high and low, his servants being
always generously treated In the dis
tribution Of the human spoil. The
horses and other stolen property are
likewise disposed OF. But what becomes

ling instances of the above which have
lately taken place. There is regular
season for these expeditions, commenc-
ing about April and ending about octo-

cause whatever to the Persians for
these barbarities and all the ma
rauding and kidnapping is on the part
Of the Persians."
