Sir Walter SCOTS Good Dogs.

Sir Walter Scott once told a Wis
itor that two hounds which were
lying before the fire understood ev-
cry word he said. The friend seem
ing incredulous, the novelist, to
prove his statement, picked up a
book and began to read aloud, q
have two lazy, good for nothing
dogs, who lie by the fire and sleep
and let the cattle ruin my garden"
The dogs raised their heads, lis
tened and then ran from the room,
but, finding the garden empty, soon
returned to the hearth rug. Sir
Walter again read the story, with
like result, but once more the dogs
came back disappointed. Instead of
rushing from the room when their
master commenced reading the third
time, both hounds came and looked
up into his face, whined and wagged
their tails, as if to say, "1ou have
made game of us twice, but you
can't do it again. Our Animal
Friends.

MASSACRE IN PERSIA.
Religious Ref0rmers Tortured and Put
to Death by lnfurlated MObs.

Special Gable Despatch to The SUN.
LONDON, July 3O.The Times records a
murderous popular outbreak in the Province
OF Yezd, in southern Persia, at the end OF
June, against the Babis, or religious re-
formers.
The position of the foreign residents was
sometimes critical owing to the mob search
ing the Babis's quarter, where English
missionaries reside.
During June 81 and 20 every Babi cap
tured by the rabble was butohered in what
ever manner their captors pleased. Their
mutilated bodies were dragged through
the streets. followed by exultant crowds.
Plumber and outrage were CARED on with
the help Of soldiers.
The priests, on June IS, enjoined the
populace to bring all the Babis who were
still alive before themselves or the Gov
ernor. The latter at first refused to give
way to the mob's threats, but when his
palace was surrounded by rioters he
yielded and ordered that one Babi be blown
from the mouth of cannon, and that
the throat Of another be cut The total
number of victims is not stated, but the
inference is that they were numerous.
