ACCORDING to the Richmond Times,
the vice, crime and squalor of the slums
Of that city are appalling. Such q
condition as it represents shows that
Richmond, the capital of Virginia, is
more in need of missionaries than either
Asia or Africa.

COMPLIMENT TO THE SHAH.-Minis-
Mcdonald, the U. S. Ambassador to
Persia, left Washington yesterday on
his return 10 Teheran. Mr.. Mcdonald
carries back with him q very handsome
and unique present for the young Shah
besides the ring which he intends to
present as token Of his own esteem
for the Persian ruler. This is sent to
the Shah by beautiful and accom-
plished young lady Of Alexandria, and
there is little story connected with it.
During the minister's stay at the Green
brier White Sulphur Springs he met
this young lady, who was one of the
bellies of the season, and she became
very much interested in the Shah, and
asked all sorts of questions about him,
in which Mr.. Mcdonald took great
pleasure in answering. These CONVEX
sations were frequently repeated, the
Young lady's interest in the Shah SEEM
ing to increase the more she heard
about him. Just before leaving the
White she asked the minister if he
would take present of her own make
from her to the Shah. He assured the
young lady that it would afford him the
greatest pleasure to do so, and that he
felt satisfied it would be appreciated by
his majesty when he was informed from
whom it came. Just before leaving
Lynchburg, somewhat over week
ago, he received through the mail a
beautiful tobacco-pouch, most artist
cally embroidered, from the young
lady, with an order on Lynchburg to-
bacco firm for superior grade OF smok-
ing tobacco with which to fill it. Mr..
Mcdonald has the pouch, which is an
excellent specimen of art handiwork,
filed with the choicest weed, and it
will be given to the Shah upon his ar.
rival at Teherau. Musaflir-ed- Din will
be the first occupant of the Persian
throne 10 be thus honored by fair
Virginian, and he may we'll be proud
of the distinction.
