The nfiserly Shah.

A Teheran correspondent of The Lon
don Times, in long article on "The
Shah and His Government" writing Of
the personal character of Nasr-ed Din,
says: ellis least attractive feature is a
miserliness which induces him to hoard
large sums of money and bullion, frac.
ton of which, devoted to the practical
regeneration of his country, would make
his name live in history. In addition to
the masses of jewels contained in the
royal treasury, he has private fortune.

From Joseph Jefferson's autobioRra-
ply in The Century we quote the fol-
lowing: Edwin Forrest, with all his
faults, had warm and generous impulses.
1 know of one instance where a poor,
old actress went to him in distress. In
former years he had known her father
and respected him. Touched by her ap-
peal for assistance, he lent her a large
sum of money, with the almost certain
knowledge that he would never get it
back again. 1t was never made public;
no one knew of it but the receiver and
myself. The Forrest home has done much
good, and is likely to do more; and those
actors who either by age or by infirmi-
ties have been debarred the privilege of
following their profession will naturally
be grateful for this rich legacy.
Even in the days of his theatrical fame
and prosperity Forrest was an austere
man, and as he grew older he became
morbidly misanthropical, holding him
self aloof from all but his most intimate
friends The latter part of his life was
cmbittered, too, by illness and the loss
of public favor. Until the closing years
of his career he had been blessed with
perfect health; this became suddenly
shattered, and the unexpected attack
wrecked his dramatic power. He might
have borne the stroke of illness, but to
one whose imperious nature could not
brook the faintest slight the loss of pub
lie admiration was a heavy blow; one,
too, that would have shocked wiser
and more even tempered man than Ed
win Forrest. Still he toiled on, and was
unjustly censured for acting past his
powers. But what was he to do? His
physicians told him that he must act if
he would live; the wheel must be kept
in motion or it would fall. His perform
ances in the larger cities were given to
empty houses, while bright and youth
full aspirants were drawing from him all
his old adherents.
His former friends forsook him, and
naturally, too; they could not bear the
pain of witnessing their favorite of other
days declining night by night. No actor
can hope to hold an interest in his audi
ence merely by what he has done in
years gone by; in acting it is the present
that the public have to deal with, not
the past. To witness age and decrepi-
tude struggling to conceal their weak
ness i'll the mimic scene is too painful.
The greater our affection for the artist
the less can we bear to see him suffer
and go down.
In the vain hope of struggling on, the
old tragcdian sought "the provinces"
Here the people focked in crowds to see
the great actor that they had heard of
from their childhood; not with the faint
est hope that they would find the grand
eur of the past, but from the curious de-
sire to see ruined tower just before it
! falls.

Tormentetl bv Ghosts.

The stir in Montgomery county, N. c.,
over the ghost scare continues and the
mystery deepens. About three months
ago the wife of Thomas Fuller died. It
is reported that her married life was not
happy, and since her death Fuller says
her ghost torments him every night.
When he retires he can hear all sorts of
noises in his room. Fuller cannot longer
sleep alone, but has some one to remain
in the room with him. The mysterious
ghost gives him a great deal of trouble
and has rendered him wholly unfit for
business or work of any sort.-Rich-
mond Dispatch.

Well diggcrs on the Crowley place at
Little Prairie continue to find further in
dications of a buried forest. The cedar
or pine found at depth of thirty y-five
feet appeared to be the branches of a
tree; at forty feet the growth was larger,
as if near the trunk; at forty-five feet
larger still. The first thirty-five feet was
through light gravel and the next ten
feet through blue clay, exceedingly
hard. The impression prevails that a
swamp will be struck at lower depth,
as has been the case inprevious instances
where the wells were abandoned. Good
water in that locality is rare, though the
land lies high and the surface soil is
light. The matter is attracting much at
tention.-Evening Wisconsin.

nerves, that I did not greatly care what
befel me. When had been kneeling
thus for about half minute Indaba-
zimbi spoke.
"People of the Umtetwa children of
T'Chaka," he said, "draw back little
space, lest an evil fall on you, for now
the air is thick with ghosts"
They drew back space, leaving us in
circle about twelve yards in diameter.
"Look on him who kneels before you,"
went on Indaba-zimba, "and listen to
my words, to the words of the witch
finder, the words of the rainmaker,
Indaba-zimbi, whose fame is known to
you. He seems to be man, does he
not? I tell, you, children of the Umtet-
wa, he is no man. He is the spirit who
gives victory to the white men; he it is
who gave them assegais that thunder
and taught them how to slay. Why
were the impis of Dingan rolled back at
the Blood river? Because he was there.
Why did the Amaboona slay the people
of Mosilikaaye by the thousand? Be-
cause he was there. And so I say to
you that, had not drawn him
from the lager by my magic but
three hours ago, You would have been
conquered-yes, you would have been
blown away like the dust before the
wind; you would have been burned up
like the dry grass in the winter when
the fire is awake among it. Aye, be-
cause he had but been there many of
your bravest were slain in overcoming
few-a pinch Of men who could be
counted on the fingers. But because l
loved you, because your chief Sususa is
my half brother-for had we not one

Then you prayed me and I drew the
spirit forth. But you were not satisfied
when the victory was yours, when the
spirit Of all you had taken asked but one
little thing-a white child to take away
