Tabriz, Persia, Jan. 23rd, 1891.
The houses here are mud entirely of
mud, mud walls, mud floor and mud
roof. There is very little lumber here
and it is very dear, so mud is used.
The higher class natives have brick
houses. They make their money from
their vineyards. Many own whole viii
lagos. Others are merchants and have
stores which are called bazaars here.
These are mere stalls, only portions of
the street covered over where the ma
tive merchant sell fruit, groceries and
dry goods.
Grapes a be seen still hanging in
punches i'll the bazaars. The natives
pick them and hang the punches up
where they become real dry, drop off
and are sold for raisins. Grapes keep
very well hanging, the air being so dry.
l never tasted such good grapes as they
have here. They are as large rs plums
and many have 10 seeds. They are
very nourishiug and during the sum-
mer the people live almost entirely up
on them.
The money here is silver and copper.
This city is about three times as large
as Camden.
Our cooking implements here mostly
come from America or Europe, SO when
broken are hard to replace. Earthen
and ONE tinware are found here in the
bazaars. The servants here board
themselves but then most of them steal
more than enough to make the differ
ence. We don't know that ours steal.

OF THE

Irvine and Nettipg

Regardless of the advanced duty on
Irvine, we are at present selling Irvine
and Netting at the anne price as last
year. We now have ten American ma
chimes operated by the best workmen in
the factory, employed on u netting and
are turning out about 5000 pounds of
netting per month.
We would advise our patrons to place
their orders promptly, as we do not guar
antee that the price will remain the same
throughout the season, and all orders
placed now will receive our prompt at
tention at old prices and goods be held at
our store subject to purchasers order.
We have an unusually fine stock of net
ting and Irvine this year and think it

Quay Proolaims His Innocence.

The members OF the Senate must
have hung their heads when one Of

place and declared that everybody in

more or less OF rogue, while in fact
he was white.souled patriot.
Quay is no better and no worse than

Republican. He is professional

Piles and undsturbed by conscience.
He represents the dangerous element

to believe that every hing crooked

bis wicked partner AS for himself, he
was simply another painful illustration
Of the fact that truly good man may
be made to suffer for the evil done by
his intimate friends.
Quay's defense will appear in the
Congressional Record IN due time, but
it is pity that its pages should nOi
be illuminated with "a woodcut of that
