The Shah Of Persia's name Is Nusr.ed.
Deem. He lie making q tour Of he
world, and will shortly visit America.
His arrival in England Is a notable
event, on account Of the political com.
pllCations that may result from the visit.
England looks suspiCiously upon him,
and alreadythere has been q strong pro.
test against his being entertained at
public expense. When he comes TO
America, no doubt be will be Hospitality
received. II Is seldom that the United
States Government entertains royalty,
and never before has 1t been called upon
TO receive an oriental ruler. His com.
ing to America therefore will be looked
forward TO with considerable interest.
The SHAH father was Mehmed Shah,
and his mother the daughter OF a Kadjar
chief. When he was seventeen years
old he was made Governoroi Azerbeidjn,
a northwestern province OF Persia. His
father died October Is, 1S4S, when
Nusr.ed-Deen was eighteen years old.
Opposition to his succession was sternly
put down. Early years Of the Shah 9
reign were characterized by reforms
under the administration Of Ameer
Mira Taghi, the Grand Vizier, who
after three years service was driven into
exile and murdered by tho young ruler.
The reign Of Nusr.ed.Deen has been a
bloody one. Wars against Aighanistan,
against the Imaum oil Mascot and against
England, have not added to the wealth
or territory Of the country, but left II
worse or than before. The Shah has
five sons, three OF whom are grown up,
and many daughters. Mouzaffer:ed.
Deem, the second son, is heir.apparent.
He is now Governor OF Azerbeidjn, and
resides at Tabriz, which Is the largest
and richest city In Persia. The present
Is the shah's third trip to Europe.
