Tho shah. Wife In Vienna.

Some interesting particulars about the
visit of the Shah's wife to Vienna are tele-
craphed hy the London DGily Netos CORE
sondent there, who describes her as about
forty-five years of age and of delicate
frame. -Four years ago she lost the sight
of her right eye in consequence OF
rlaucoma. The same disease began TO
show itself in the left eye about three
months ago, and had an operation been
undergone at the time of Its appearance
this eve might have been saved. IL Is now
too late. II was hoped. however, that an
operation would even now admit a nttle
LIGHT into the eye. The result can be
known only few weeks hence, and until
then the lady is to remain in Vienna. She
is a good patient. The ladies of the suite
however. who are said to be great beauties.
are a great trial to the Professor: They
are always running into the sick-room,
eager TO show their devotion by caresses
and questions. There are eight OF these
ladies in the suite, besides SIX gentlemen,
n Persian doctor, and four attendants. The
difficulty is TO keep all these persons away
from the patient, VINO has not chance OF
recovery unless allowed absolute repose.
The suite fills the house of the Persian
Minister. The men smoke and drink coffee
all day: the ladies sit on the floor. passing
their time eating and talking. None OF
them ever leave the house.
