Teheran, the capital of Persia, is a
place of antiquity. 1t was Aga Ma
Hommed Khan, the founder of the
present dynasty, who first adopted it
about century ago. A mud wall sur
rounds the city, but it would be mis-
take to say that the place is fortified,
in the modern sense of that word. The
wall is distinctly pre-Vauban in its
tracing. As a police boundary, or
something of that sort, it may serve
some purposes; but as defense to.the
city, If it were attaked by modern
army, it would be useless. The supply
of water is brought into the town by
what the Persians call kanauts. This
is the same as the kareez of Afghan
istan. These are tunnels simply cut
through the soil, in parts at some
depth, and by this means water is
found, where all is dry above, and
brought from long distances to irrigate
fields. Holes have to be made at reg
ular distances to bring up the earth in
excavating these kanauts, and their di-
rection can be traced across the coun
try from the mound round each hole
This mode of irrigation exists all the
way from this place to the Khyber.
The making of these tunnels is a regu-
lar trade, and there are wise men who
have reputation for being able to
find the underground source from
which the supply of water is obtained.
Some large extents of glound in Persia
would be desert were it not for these
kanauts. The supply Of water brought
into Teheran by them is large, and the
quality is said to be good. The bazars
are arched over with sun-dried bricks,
which is the usual building material
hereabouts- The object is to keep out
the sun. This makes them dark, but
it is highly picturesque. In some
places they are painted with figures
and ornaments, and at one place, where
two lines of bazars cross, the seat of
the kadi was pointed out, with a cell
below for prisoners, Here cases are
tried before the public, and punish
ment is infiicCed-a very eastern and
primitive mode of administering JUS
tice. At one part Of the bazar we
noticed nothing but shoemakers. Pas
sing them, we found nothing but
hats being made: a little dis
tance further it was tailors, then
brass-workers. This grouping of each
trade has many advantages, and it is
not so many years since it was com
mon in some towns, ut home kabob
shops or eating houses, and tea shops
are to be found scattered about the
bazaar.
In some few of the tea houses men
were sitting smoking kalians, while
story-tellers were amusing them. The
Constantinople bazar has long ceased
to be oriental. Any one wishing to
see place Of this kind in still purely
eastern condition might come to Tehe-
ran. Weyisited the old residency in
the center Of the town, where Sir
Henry Rawlinson and other early
British representatives lived. It is at
present undergoing complete repair.
The new legation is on the outskirts,
near the gate Of the road leading to
Gulahek. It is perhaps the best build
ing in Teheran. Anon.

MEMORIES.


A song that heard in my childhood
Rings even now through my heart,
And whenever think of my childhood,
That song Of my youth is part.
A face that saw in life's morning
Stands out from the past alone,
And never look back TO life's morning
But that well-loved face meets my own.
a flower that plueked in life's noontide
Has faded this many year,
But yet can look back to life's noontide,
If smileless. with never q tear.
Some day in the beautiful future
1t cometh my heart, be strong
I shall find in that heartif future
My flc- a. ong.

TARRANT COUNTY ROADS,

BENBRo E TIKI, Dec. D. 1881
To the Editor Of the Gazette.
Pontiac hits the nail OF the head Ia his
article in to-day's GAZETTE, when he say
we need good county roads and attributes
the dullness OF trade to the existing con-
dition Of tie roads surrounding Fort
Worth. The road from this place to Fort
Worth is 8 disgrace to the county. Sev-
eral valuable citizens have sold out and
left the state on account OF the miserable,
crooked, steep, muddy. siding roads froae
here to Fort Worth.
There is q petition before the Ccmaais-
sicner's court to strsighten out the rost
froIn here to Fort Worth, and the people
along the route are m silly giving the
right OF way. Parties out here are GET
ting up subscriptions to grade and gravel
the road as soon as it is opened. They
propose TO make q drst-class road il eyery
respect.
The people in the county are always
willing to do their part toward making
good roads whenever they are located at
the right place aad there Is any
prospect OF their being permanent, but as
long IS they are made so crooked that
man can't travel in the direction desired
more than one third of the time, they will
refuse to work them or try 10 improve
them any. Mon csn't be spent to
better advantage than in procuriog sood
roads. Il TarIant county had $500, 200,
her very best Investment would be IN

values sufficiently to pay the largest divi
dead. G. T. BLACK.
