Travelling in Persia.

If one had plenty of time at ones
disposal, and wished to thoroughly
explore the country, and could travel
with ones tents, servants, horses, ETC.,
no doubt caravan travelling would offer
the pleasanter mode of progression. But
as these rarely obtain. 'chupper" travel
ing is adopted all but universally, and
Is the method We followed from one end
CT Persia to the other. 1t would be
distinctly false to say that ''chupper-
ing" in Persia is delightful occupa.
tion. Let me take sample day: You
are up at six, with an eighty.mile ride
in three stages before you The horses
are brought out, and you see their
backs covered with sores to a degree
that makes you feelquite sick. Never
theleSs, the saddles are put on, and off
you go. The poor beasts go pretty
well, perhaps, for the first few miles;
then you find that your saddle has
shifted, and you have to get off to put it
right. By that time the animals begin
to be tired, and whip and spur have TO be
lruthlessiy applied, fof you must get on.
The Persian whip is fearful instra-
ment of torture. 1t has short handle
like dog whip, with long throng, at
the end Of which are great leather flaps.
1t Is used much as q fail would be, and
resounds mercilessly and necessarily on
the horses flanks. One canters on over
a bad road covered with loose stones.
Suddenly there is cry, and one of the
party is down, the horse going over like
a log. We halt, dismouut, ard pick
him up. No bones are broken, and a
stiff glass of whiskey counteracts the
shaking, We go on, but each with the
conviction, hanging like sword of
DamocleS over his head, that 1t will be
his turn next; and so we reach the end
OF our first stage. There we find that
the horses to take us on have only just
come in from twenty-fve-mile stage,
and after feeding them We have per-
force to mount their tired backs. If
the beginning WAS bad, what thus
remains behind Is much worse. And
so eventually we get to our journeys
end for the day, late and tired, with
the feelings of savage and the temper
Of bear. Our lodging is IN chupper-
khana, inferior in cleanliness TO an
Irish cabin; our bed is bag stuffed for
the night with straw, on which we
sleep as best we can. haunted by the

Foreign Life at Washington.

1t is a curious thing that the capital
of the United States should be more like
foreign city than any other town in
this country. 1t is a great place for
people who have lived in Europe for n
great many years to set up their house
holds. 1t is kind of brake which
gently lets them down from the intOxi-
cation of European life 10 the dead level
of an American commercial city. This
class of returned tourists make up
much Of the winter population of Wash
ington-and being as a rule both rich
and idle, they add much to its charm
Nowhere on this continent is there SO
much leisure as in Washington. Every
thing like work begins at Q O'Clock and
ends at 4. Then, unlike other great
cities, the workers do not have to ira.
verse the whole length and breadth of
the town to get to their homes. The
public workshops are all central-it is
not far from mans work to his home.

morning, then taking a big slice off at
noon-just the most valuable part OF the
working day-and then quitting about
the time the American gets fairly
warmed up to his work, is certainly
very surprising. But it becomes more
so when he goes to Washington and
finds that after O'Clock all the town is
at leisure. 1t is true that the higher
officials have longer working hours and
the cabinet officers are driven to death
if they mind their business, but the
average worker Toes his eight hours
work, and then leaves of, with two

danger of having a whole day, from
noon to twilight, monopollzed by a
string of inconsequential visitors. No
body visits before 2, and nobody versed
in Washington society before 3, and at

and nearly all private ones have a day

The Engineers Story.

They were gathered in tie office tell.
ing railroad yarns. Colonel Bob Leach
was one of the party. "Gentlemen, u
said he, II don't know how fast an
engine can travel, but I'll give you an
idea of how fast one did go. During
the war ran scouting engine for the
Confederate Government. 1t was my
duty to carry telegraph operator, who
at different points would cut the wires
and send dispatches. We were running
at rapid rate one day, when upon
rounding curve l saw thousand gun
barrels blaze in the sunlight. also saw
that number of cross ties had been
piled on the track. To stop in time was
an impossibility; to go on seemed GER
tain death, for evenif we escaped being
killed by the wrecking of the engine we
would be shot to death, for We were re-
garded as spies. l decided in a second
what to do. Telling my companion to
lie down IN the tender, l seized the
throttle. and, in locomotive parlance,
threw her wide opon. The engine jump
ed like rabbit. l threw myself flat in
the tender, expecting every second to be
hurled to an awful death. Bang, bang.
bang went the guns. Then all was ST.
lent, save the whir, whir of the wheels.
Could it be possible that the engine had
knocked off the obstructionsP l arose
and looked out. We had passed the
enemy and had scattered the ties. Ny
companion, as much astonished as my
self, got up. looked back, ard just
above the tender l saw what 1 took TO
be swarm of big black flies. I reached
out and took hold of one. GracIousl l
then discovered what they were. They
were shower of bullets that the enc

along at this rate until the bullets all
fell behind. Then we Stacked up" The
gentlemen looked at one another, but
no one disputed the statement.

A QUEER WISH.
A Dying Man Asks for Cabbage, Eats
IL Raw, and Receivers.

Mrs. Rose Terry Cook tells story o
hospital patient whose life was saved
after he had lain, apparently, ae tn
point of death for some time. HC
could not speak above a whisper and
the doctor, pitiful of his helpless cond;.
ton, stopped over him and said:
Patrick, is there anything you want
that can get youp"
In whisper so weak and hoarse a.
to be iDaudible unless the doctor put
his ear down to the trembling lips, the
dying man answered:
Cabbage"
The doctor could not believe his ears.
did you say cabbage?" he asked, in
credulously.
81 did," was the faint whisper.
Cooked or raw2" asked the aston
ished doctor.
Raw" murmured Patrick.
The doctor stood aghast. However
he reflected that Pat was dying, and
that nothing could kill or cure him
now; it seemed kindly thing to fulfil
his last wishes, so he went out into the
garden, and cutting large, fresh cab.
bage, divided 1t into quarters and laid
one OF the sections close to Patrick S
lips, guided his helpless hand into a
place that propped the cabbage up
against his mouth, and theu DIR. C.. sat
down to watch this extraordinary
patient. Slowly the cabbage d;sap-
peared; the Irishman's eyes frightened
during the process, and shade more of
life peryaded his cOuntananea "A the
last fragment was swallowed he said;
"Morel'' in quite an audible tone, but
the doctor made him wait a few
moments before the second quarter was
laid in position and eagerly received.
To curtail my story, in the course of
the day Patrick ate all the good part of
large cabbage, began TO get well from
that time, and in week or two left the
hospital and went to work.

MADE GOVERNOR BY LANE.

The Leavenworth Times in an edi-
torial denies that Samuel j. Crawford
was Jim Lanes candidate for gov
ernor, and goes on TO cite his recollec-
tons of the proceedings of the nomi-
hating convention. In the main his
memory i correct as to the conven-
ton. Captain Ballard really led Craw-
ford's army delegates. Tom Bowen,
now United States senator from Colo
RADIO. was, we think, Billiards. second.
We believe that we were the secretary
OF that convention. However, we are
not so clear on that point. We know
that we were present. That Colonel
Anthony is wrong we also know I'M
less Lane double dealt. just previous
to that convention Lane told us, dur
ing buggy ride one afternoon be-
tween Burlingame and Auburn, that
Crawford must be nominated at all
hazards. Our reply was that
"Georgie" was splendid man and
would make a popular race; that he
was entitled 10 be governor of Kansas
from the fact that he had been once
elected but denied the seat. We dis
tinctly remember Lanes manner and
reply. Turning sharply TO us, he said:
"Great God, man, mean Colonel Sam
of the second Nigger.''
Our recollection is that W. w. IL.
Lawrence, one of the original founders
of Wichita, lead in the convention,
having reached A votes; that he lacked
but two or three votes of a nomina-
ton at one time.
Undoubtedly Samuel j. Crawford
was the .'Grim Chieftain's" candidate
for governor.

NOT THAT KIND OF A TOWN.

elly intimates that while Kansas City
is taken into the National league.
Wichita is left out in the cold. Kansas
City is nothing if not generous. She

one of the places marked out for her
in the western, northwestern or ANA
teur leagues Wichita Is lively little
town, and if we can help her in any
way, she can command us.-kansas

That man had escaped perdition
and had, therefore, been cleft out in
the cold" would hardly be quoted to
his disadvantage, Just where Wich-
tia is the loser by staying outside of a
gambling organization, does not appear
upon its face. That Kansas City
flaunts her shame as triumph will
not surprise anybody. While the
EAGLE takes occasion to thank the
Times for its tender of good will. we
hope it will not take 1t Extensively
when we state that Wichita is not
that kind Of town.

CHENEY, Feb. 10, 1886.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
The weather has been fair during
this week, and hopes are entertained
that the backbone of the winter is
broke.
There was music in The air whcn
the pay car came Tor the boys here
who helped TO clear the W. d W.

that they were To receive $l.20 per
day and board, but the board had
been deducted from the check. Judge
Coiiey was asked what could be done
in this case, and his honor advised the
boys TO commence suit against the Il.
X. Co. As far as we know only eight
of the boys entered into suit, while
the others refrained from doing so.
We understand from good authority,
that those who did not sue the COM
pany had their checks corrected.
A. &. Lands general merchandise
store is a thing of the past. The goods
were packed and shipped to Cim-
maron on the a., 7. & S. +. This
very establishment had at one time
the bulk of the trade, and were doing
a large and safe business, but since
Mr.. A. X. Fraser and John Sellers
severed their connection with the
firm, their trade scattered to other es-
adjustments.
Mr.. Dick Snyder has been sued by
Mr.. Pratt for keeping and feeding a
bunch of horses. This suit grew out
of an agreement to trade Mr.. Sny-
der's interest in the Grand View to
Mr.. Pratt for bunch of horses. which
trade. however, has never been per-
fcted.
The city election held here last
spring was, by mistake, held one day
too late, and it has been questioned if
the officers then elected could legally
act in their respective places. All
doubts about it are now removed, as
the legislature has legalized said cleo
ton.
Mr.. L. b. Miller has opened black
smith shop on First avenue. As many
farmers know him to be "hard to beat
