ABDURRAHMAN KHAN. AIEER Or cABUL.
Abdulrahman or Abdurrahman Khan,
who, in the summer of 1850, was scknoTl-
edged by the British Indian Government as
Ameer of Cabul, had long been an exile in
Turkestan. &c lie the lineal representative
OF Dost Mohsmmed, the founder OF the
Bsrukzai dynasty, and Is the Oldest son OF
Afzul Khan, who was in his turn the eldest
son OF the Dost, and he is thus nephew to
the late Ameer SheIe Ali. 1t is believed
that Abdurrshmsn was born about 1880.
When Dost Mohsmmed died, in 1865
only twelve days after be had Drowned his
victorious career by taking the city Of He
rat, his favorite son ard nominated heir,
Shere Ali. succeeded, at first quietly, to the
throne. Afzul Khan, the father of Abinr-
rahmsn, was at that time Governor OF Balkh
or Afghan Turkestan, with his capital
at Takhtl-pul. Abdurrahman had taken
To vile daughter OF the
as married to son of the same Prince.
TIE next brother OF Aful, named Aim
Khan, joined with Afzul and Abdurrah-
man in Q conspiracy against Shere Ali,
immediately upon bis accession to the
principslity of Cabul. This caused the
outbreak Of civil war In Afghanistan in
1861. During that war Abdurrshman
played leading part on the side OF his
father, Afzul, and mis- uncle, Axiom, against
Sheie Ali. In 1865. 1866 and 1867 he won
several battles, and the great victories of
Shsikbabad and Khelati- Ghilzai were
mainly due to his ability. He was intrusted
with the GoverDorhip CT Bslkh, where
he made himself popular By his
moderation and by marrying the
daughter of the Chief OF Badak shsm. In
1865 be was unable however, to offer a suc-
cesstul resistance to his cousin Yakoub
Khan, son OF Shere Ali, who defeated him
at Bsjgsh. near Bamisn, and also finally at
Tinah Khan. AbdnJrahmaD then fed from
the country, ultimately reaching Russian
territory. He was we'll received by General
Kaufmsnp, who permitted him 10 reside st
Sanarcand. and allowed him pension of
$4,000 roubles year.
Abdurrehmsn Khan renamed in Turks
tan, an exile and pensionsr OF the Russian
Government, till 1879. when he suddenly
made his way through Bslkh to the Csbul
frontier. No attempt was made to detain
him, and there was some mystery about bis
intentions. With regard to his personal
character and disposition, the reports
that were current seemed rather favor
able. The American traveller, Mr.. Schuyler,
who saw him at Tashkend in company with
General kaufman, remarked the dignity of
his appearance and the intelligence OF his
mind. Another account, apparently from
official sources, describes him as trausacting
all business himself and working with secre-
faries from an early hour in the morning.
What degree of Political education he may
have received it is diffi,u to conjecture.

THERE is unpleasant family feeling in one
home of royalty over in England. Marie,
wife of Alfred Ernest Albert, Duke of Edin-
bureh, is sister to Alexander I'LL, the pres
emit Car of Russia. 1t is said that since the
intense excitement over Russian and British
affairs the little sister of the Gar has been
cruelty snubbed by some OF her husbands
people. But If Marie has the pluck of the
average American daughter in law aud SIS

BAYLEss w. HANNA's MISSION.


Judge Hanna. of Charlottesville. has been
appointed Consul General to Persia. The
appointee being we'll known in Indiana, we
recite some information as to the mission
and the place to which ne goes. The salary
is $1,000. The Consul General is also vested
with diplomatic authority. there being no
minister to the Court of the Shah. 1t is q
journey of considerable length the Indianian
has to make to Teheran, the Persian capital.
Teheran is an inland city some seventy
miles south from the Caspian Sea and 2lO
miles north Of Ispahsn, and contains in win.
ter population about equal to that of Indi-
annapolis, which is, however, greatly reduced
in summer by exodus-the Shah and probab-
ly two-thirds of the inhabitants moving out
and encamping on the plains. The city is
unhealthy in summer. 1t stands in SANDY
plain in the form of an irregular square and
is inolosed by deep dry ditch and thick
mud wall pierced by gates, which are always
guarded and are always closed after s1nset.
The houses are said to be badly built and
mean in appearance. The principal build
ing of the town is the Ark or Royal Palace.
There are q number Of mosques, ore of
which is rooted with plates of gold. But the
bazaars are described as being wretchedly
kept and dirty. Tehersn is connected by
telegraph with the Turkish and Russian
frontiers.
Judge Hanna will have superb opportunity
for missionary work, If he should incline to
thus supplement his political duties. Shah
Mohammedanism is the prevsilihg religion
that branch of the Mohammedan faith which
honors Huksein next after the prophet, and
so repudiating the first three caliphs. The
murder of Husssin by the caliph Yezia is

markable observance of Shah Mohsmmedan-

of the upper classes are reputed

A LIE DOES NOT SERVE THE PUR
POSE OF THE TRUTH.

Since the controversy between the Senti.
mel and the Times as to the latter's Sunday
circulation has been going on, we have fur
nished some facts that make case of gi-
gantic lying on the part OF the managers of
the latter paper. Two weeks ago to day the
Times announced, with blare of trumnets.
that they had printed the day before
Sunday 14.42l papers. 1t has since
percolated through some of the employees
of that paper that to arrive at that astonish-
ing result they counted each sheet of eight
pages that was their great three sheet paper OF
twenty-fcur pages as separate paper, when
in reality they only worked 4 800 complete
papers of twenty.four pages. How is that
for . gigantic confidence game on the adver-
tising public?
The Times wrote letter April 10, 1885. to
to . foreign advertiser in which it stated the
following preposterous lie, viz:
