Damascus is the oldest city in the
world. Tyre and Sidon have crumblts
on the shore; Baalbec is a ruin Palmyra
is buried in the sands of the desert;
Nineveh and Babylon have disappeared
from the Tigris aud Euphrates; Damas-
Gus remains what it was before the days
of Abraham "a centre of trade and
travel, an island of verdure in desert,
"a predestinated capital" with martial
and sacred associations extending
through more than thirty cen
turtles. 1t was " near Damascus !"

caravan comes and goes as il did thous-

the multitude of their walters" The

An Eastern traveller in the Rocky
Mountains tells in a private letter Of
meeting a scout of the old days, and
says: "He is very interesting; he is the
last of the 100 Government scouts, and
can walk Tor rum 100 miles day; all
the Others are either in jail or dead. His
stories are very thrilling, and doubtless
are true, for he has to be drawn out by
degrees, and bushes like girl through
his dark skin at the direct questions
asked after he has unconsciously told a
little Of story Of the past. ~ Boston

ALL GOODS IN DEMAND.

Increased Distribution Is the Feature OF
Trade.
r G. Dun s. Co.'S weekly review OF trade
says:
The fact of largest influence in the rec
ord of the last week has been the increased
distribution of goods The striugency often
seen about this time does not appear nor
are other money markets close. But while
imports greatly exceed exports. it is not
safe TO calculate that outgoes OF gold will
not again disturb confidence Hence the
break in important speculations has Its
hopeful side. Instead Of rising after the

Prime Minister Assassinated.

The story of the murder of the Prime
Minister of the native State of Ulwar, in
Northwestern India, reads more like a
tale from the criminal annals of some
medieval Italian principally than a
record of the present day. The Minister
was murdered while out riding by a gang
of assassins. The inquiry ordered by
the Indian Government has resulted not
only in the conviction of one of the
principal military officers of the Ulwar
State, but in declaration by the court
that the murder was executed by order
of the late Maharajah of Ulwar. .sser
1t appears that this parsonage, desiring
for sundry reasons to have the Minister
removed" contided the task to the
officer commanding the Imperial service
troops-that is, the force which the VI
war State undertakes to send into the
field should the Indian Government call
for its services. This worthy got to-
gether gang of men, including some of
his own soldiers, waylaid the Minister,
and while some of the party patrolled
the road others, as one of them who
turned Queens evidence expressed it,
"used their swords"
They pleaded in defense that they
were Obliged to carry out the orders of
the Maharajah in committing the act.
The Court held that such orders had
been given, but decided that they con-
stitutcd no defense, and sentenced two
of the party to death and others to
various terms of penal servitude. AIDE
quateIy to appreciate this affair, it should
be remembered that Ulwar is no wild
hill State on the outer confines Of India,
but an ancient principally in the heart
of the country within short distance
of Delhi. The late Maharajah had re-
ceived an English education, and Ulwar
is in many respects accounted an ex-
celently administered ate.-[London
