Tin- Scotch nro the most hospitable people
1 have ever met. I have now spent a.
week in Hciitlund. and huvo received
nothing lull .smiles antl kindness every
where. People walk out of their way to
hho\v strangers the places they inquire
for , ami all scorn ready to give informa
tion. There is little of the gruil'noss and
boorishm-ss of the English nbout the
Scotch. 'J'lioy are a people who seem to
have as much brotherly love for their
friends as the Germans. I met friends
near Glasgow mid spent some days with
tliem in their residence on oiuof tlieso
oUl Scottish estates. The house was a.
line , rambling stone structure , with largo
rooms , wide hall- * , and great windows
looking out upon aeres ot velvety lawn
filleil with old oaks , the branches of
which hang low and spread out widely.
The fmnituro was of old oak , beautifully
carved , and turned by time to a rich ,
dark line , and everything about the place
seemed saturated with an air of homo
comfort.
The estate numbered hundreds of acres
of wood and park. It had romantic
walks through the forest along little
streams lilled with IHi , ami past hero
nml there a waterfall. It had a line
winding drive from the porter's lodge to
the hon.se , and its garden and green
houses were n wonder to American eyes.
The garden , comprising about one aero
of ground , was surrounded by a high
stone wall , ami in It were all Kinds of
vegetables and llowers. Pens , such as 1
have never seen at home , had been
planted at dilleront periods so as to fur
nish green , new , fresh peas for months ,
and the same was the case with the vari
ous other vegetables. The strawberry
vines were loaded with rich , luscious
berries much larger than the best ot our
American product , and gooseberries the
si/.o of plums hung from the bushes. On
the walls were currants trained to climb
like a vine , and over all the fruit nets
were stretched to keep away tlio birds.
Mv friend was u largo manufacturer of
Paisley , and rents this place for his sum
mer residence , lie can rent the furn
ished mansion and the whole estate , ser
vants and all , and it is only twelve miles
by rail to his business. Such an estate
outside of Now York or Washington
would bring at least ! ? 2,000 a month , ami
I doubt not this owner could name his
own price. The landlords of Scotland
have been havin-r hard times of late
years , and these old estates have greatly
depreciated in value. Many of them are
now being sold , ami commercial men
and manufacturers are buying them.
The Clyde forms Glasgow's entrance
to the sea , and Glasgow has made it one
of the line harbor views of the world.
Originally it was a sluggish and unnavi-
gable stream , biitbytheitredgingof forty
years it now admits the largest ocean
vessels , and at the wharves of Glasgow
you will find ships from all parts of
the world. The harbor of Glasgow is two
and one-half miles long , ami below it
Ship-building yards line the Clyde for
many miles on its way to the sea. Glas
gow is the ship-building center for the
world , and she builds ships for every na
tion of note. Great Britain has 55 per
icoiit'of ' the carrying trade of the world ,
nml her steam vessels have increased in
tonnage over 200 percent within the past
ten years. She pays her seamen less
than half the wages of the sailors of
the , United States , and gets more out of
them. The average wages of English
sailors are $11)5 ) per annum ; those of
American sailors § 175 per annum. So
that the American sailor sets § 200 more
a year than his Hrltish brother.
I find wages low nil over Ireland and
Scotland , nml I have visited many fac
tories Mil } talked with bojh managers and
laborers. The hours are longer , and
work , in many cases , very hard , and the
Wages very low. Rents nro high in com
parison with the accommodations , and
the only thing I find cheaper than with
us is clothes. Good food costs the same ,
nnd meats are fully as high. The labor
ing classes live on a cheaper kind of food
than our workingmen do , and they have
less of it. Whole families often live ii :
ono or two rooms , nhd t'.ieso cost all the
way from $213 to $ .10 par year. They live
in the cities in Hats , and their conven
iences are very few. The wages of me
chanics and skilled labor run from $1 a
day to $2 a day , and it is n very good
man , indeed , who gets the latter. A
newspaper proprietor in Dublin told
mo that ho could get good reporters for
from $5 to $7 per week , and they would
bo short-hand men , and well educated.
The managing editor of the largest paper
in Ireland , in Dublin nity , a place as largo
us Cincinnati , gets only $2,000 a yoarund
His salary is considered a lariro ono.
1 saw men working on the road in Ire-
Ihiid breaking stone at twenty-live cents
u day , ami many of the women in the fac
tories of Kel fast get no more , and work
from Oa. in. to 0 p , m.
Hero laborers get from fl.fiO to $5 per
Week and board themselves. Car
penters , printers , coopers and masons
earn about $7.00 per week , and shoe -
makers the same Tlio plumbers rcccivo
only * 7,50 per week in Glasgow , and
tailors only ? 7.2fi , Many boys and little
girls are employed in the factories , ami
the whole Inmily works to keen the wolf
from the door. Still , under all of these
disadvantages , the Scotch blood makes
fortunes , ami there are numerous in
stances of poor boys becoming wealthy
right here amid such surroundings.
These Scotch people are very line lookIng -
Ing , and their faces huvo great strength
of feature and at the same time much re
finement. Tim Scotch girls are excep
tionally line looking , and oven among
the lower classes you see very many refined -
fined faces. In the stores there are lady
clerks who would pass muster as well-
bred girls anywhere , and many of the
bar-maids in the whisky simps are beau
ties. The women of Scotland do u great
dual of work. A whlto-eappcd , middle-
aged , rosy-oheoknd lady usually presides
over encli of Urn largest hotels , and
nearly all of the railway restaurants uro
managed by women. Hoth f-c.ves in Scot
land have , as a rule , good healthy
physiques. There are more tall men and
women than In America. Thoyhavo better
complexions , more active walk , and are ,
as u rule , strongerjuijdjiealthier.
Spooking of .Scotch girl ? , I saw great
numbers of them In the trip I took down
the Clyde to Uotim y , which is the great
fiimuiu'r watering place of Scotland.
They , us a rule , dress very well , though 1
don't think they show tlie style of our
American girls , Tholr head pear is
especially queer , unil sometimes In bad
taste , The /ashionnblo thing hero scorns
to bo to wear man's caps and to choose
the ugliest shapes and styles you can lnd. !
A fnyorilo one Is a Hat skull cap \vlth n
\v\K \ \ rim behind and In front. It hides
the eyes nnd It not at all pretty. Another
ttylo is a onp , used a grctvt dual , \Vlicn
on tlio right girl it is not bad , nnd the
ftuuc mny to said of the Scotch Urban.
This lurbnu Is used both by men nnd
women , Still another style has. long rib-
buna hunjfim ; dawn the bnok. ami U Is of
thu isiuo style used by the soldieri of sonic
ol tun Highland rcumieuls. 'luoso sol
dicrs are bare-'ejj rod follows with short
plaid drrsscs , nu they lorm aqurcr sight
ns they strut along , working for glory , at
twenty-live ei-nt.sn dar.
These soldiers of Great Hritain you
meet every where , and very pompous fel
lows they are. The Highlanders are less
so than tlm others , who como from the
low lands , some of whom dros in red
coats and white pantaloons , and others
who have short red waists and little caps
stuck on the sides of their heads.
This is the great shooting season for
Great Itritain , and the highlands are full
of gentlemen hunting. I have seen
hundreds of men on thnlr way to their
estates for this purpose , and the boats
and cars are full of men dressed for the
moors. There is more individuality of
dress in England nnd Scotland than In
America. Every man has his suit cut to
please him c-lf , and n favorite costume i ?
n short sack coat , pantaloons rather full
above the knee nnd fastened tight around
the leg just above the calf. Then a pair
of long thick woolen stockings eonio up
to where the knee breeehes end. and the
feet are clad in strong shoes. This makes
a very stylish costume , if the wearer is
tall and has good legs. It Is worn every
where , ami even gentlemen going
about with ladies on the street
are so clad. Add to this a helmet cap era
a Derby , and you have a pretty fair idea
of one class ol Scotcli or Knglish dress.
Alnny of the swells about the watering
places wear clothes of colors as bright as
those of Dolly Vardcn's , and I have seen
some young men clad in wide red and
blue stripes of soft llannel , others In
suits as wliito as snow , and others In jack
ets of plush nnd velvet. There scorns tube
bo a much larger gentleman of leisure
class hero than with us , and in tlio Tros-
sachs and about Loch Lomond , where I
went to sail through the region made
faiiiou by Sir \Valtor ScoLt , 1 rode for
miles ami miles without hearing the word
business once.
This ride goes across the moors and
through part of the hunting regions of
Scotland. We took it by a great four-
horse stage , and had a good chance to
see the country. Scotch hunting is a
gentleman's occupation. The poor dare
not shoot the game which runs all about
them , and the rabbits are as tame as
kittens. Great estates are kept here for
nothing else but shooting. They are not
farmed , and are often of thousands of
acres. Sometimes these estates are let
by the year or season to gentlemen who
wish to shoot , and it lias boon estimated
that the average cost of hunting deer in
this way was-foOO per stagkifled. It is
the great grouse season , ami the region
of Trossaelis are full of thorn. They are
found iiiiou the moors and hunted with
dogs. These Scottisli moors I had al
ways supposed to be something like the
American swamp or imisrh , 1 was sur
prised to find that they are mountainous
lands covered with grass , and the low
bushes known as bother. These bushes
look like little sprigs of pine sot into the
ground , and they have little blue bios-
sums on them. Highlands peculiarly
beautiful , and I can compare it to noth
ing but jrrcat hills crowned with beautiful
dark green plants , with hero and there a
notch of rich , dark olive brown. There
is a velvety tint to the grass here , which
we don't get in America , and the great
moisture of the air keeps the grass green
hero the year round.
In Ireland and England there is some
pasturage all winter , and there are no
places built for the shelter of stock and
sheep. The Scotish highlands are largely
used tor shoo ) ) raising. The variety is a
good , fat , black-faced one , and the
pasturage excellent. Ilav is left out in
the open nil winter , both fiero and in Ire
land. It is put into small stacks and
tied around with ropes. In England
many gf the hay and straw stacks are
thatched , and they are , as a rule , ridgo-
shaucd instead of round.
The Scottish Highlander , with his bare
legs , is n continuous subject of interest tome
mo , and I look at every ono I sec , taking
especial note of his knees. At some places
you may sco ono fantastically dressed
dancing , and this is one of the sights of
the country fairs. Tlio Highland soldiers
arc everywhere , and I note that an anti-
court paper called Society says that Prin
cess lionlrice , Queen Victoria's favorite
daughter , never blushed while her pretty
eyes traveled over a whole regiment of
bare legs durlntr her visit at L'arkhiirst
tie | other day. I quote :
"Tlio Princess Beatrice srraciously offi
ciated as judge of the dancing , and also
examined the men in the compotion for
the best dressed Highlander. In this lat
ter task the princess took a good deal of
pleasurable interest , scrutinizing every
portion of clothed anatomy , and accu
rately measuring with her eye the inches
of bare legs displayed. Nor did her
Koyal Highness blush the while , but tlio
laddies did , furiously , and wore evidently
relieved when iho eagle gaze of the young
married lady was removed from their
gallant persons. "
FUANK Gr.oitoi : CAIU'UXTKU
AN AWAKENING.
"Will yon como down to our place next
Monday , Charlie , lor u couple of days'
shooting ? "
"Monday ? Yes. Delighted , old chap. "
Then the friends proceeded to settle de
tails. They would mot at the station and
go by the 5:00 : train , which would land
thorn in comfortable time for dinner.
Now , if Charlie West had a weakness
it was that he was prone to bo a liltlo
oblivions about lime , and was in the habit
of running his engagements rather line.
The Monday afternoon , to beguile the
time between luncheon and the train , ho
called on n'protty woman of his acquaint
ance , and she was so amusing tiiat ho
stopped until tlio last moment and then
jumped into a hansom , tolling his John to
drive like the devil. Unfortunately his
own watcli had stopped ( ho forgot to
wind It iii ) the previous night ) , and how
could ho know that his hosiers' clock was
n quarter of an hour slow ?
When ho arrived on the plnlform ho
was met by his servant , who , with u
countonaiico Inexpressive of emotion ,
ploasureablo or otherwise , informed him
that the train had departed , bearing
Capt , Leslie with it. The Captain hail
left word that ho hoped Air. West would
como by the next train , which was not
until 8&0 , nnd reached D at 10:15. :
Ho would drive the dogcart over to moot
him it was six miles from the station.
Charlie swore exhaustively. Ho was
not ill-tempered , but surely , if a man
might bo justified ( which I by no menus
admit ) in indulging in bau language ,
here was a case in point. To flail yourself -
self in the east end of London , with two
hours and llfly minutes on hand ; to huvo
foregone a pleasant dinner and evening ;
to have put your host to great iticonven-
k'uoo , and probably to have given a bud
impression to his family before your ar
rival-all thcso things are extremely vex-
iuir.
iuir.lint
lint , having n tolerably hnppy disposi
tion. Charlie , nftor his first outburst of
wrath nnd disgust , took it very well. Ho
got Into another hansom , returned to his
club at the West End , road the papers ,
dlnod lightly , and took excellent care to
bo in time for ( ho 8:80. :
It"wns n slow train ; U stopped at nearly
every station , nnd arrived at last thirty-
live minutes Into. Ills friend , who had
had timn to recover Ida first fooling of re
sentment at Charlio'u confounded I neon-
sidoratenoss , mot him very cordially.
The dogcart was capacious , nnd they
manngud to cram in the servant and lug
gage , and went oQ'nt a spanking paoo to
the court , The moon suono brightly ; the
roads ware excellent.
"Jovoi' uttered. Charlie , drawing a
long breath , "Ho\y \ goo.d overjUojng
smells , nnd what a blessing It is to get
out , of Londonl"
They drove through a long nvcnno of
trees , and came to a big , old-fashioned
rod house with a great more shining like
a mirror in front of it.
"I expect. " snid George Leslie , "that
wo shall find everybody gone to bed ; all
my people are tremendously early. "
And so it proved. The friends refreshed
themselves in the dining-room tcto-a-
tote , then returned to the smoking-room ,
nnd tlio hour of 1 had given tongue from
the stabln clock before they thought of
turning in. Leslie showed Charlie his
room , spacious ami tapestry hung , and
Iho young gentleman , having drawn
back the curtains widen the housemaid ,
after the manner of her kind , hail her
metically closed , nnd thrown one win
dow wide open , retired to bed , to sleep
the sleep of the just.
He awoke en sursaut by hearing his
name , "Charlio ! Charlie ! do wake up ! "
It was a pretty ieminino voice ; ami
Charlie was not in the habit of being
called in ( Ids fashion.
Ho started and looked up. What ho
saw was a slim young liuly , with a very
pretty liguro , in a blue cotton gown , and
Iho back of a charming head with golden
plaits. The fair ono was looking out of
the window and apostrophizing him at
the same time.
"It is such a irlonous morning ; aren't
you ashamed of yourself , yon great idle
creature , to bo lying there missing all
this lovely sunshine ? Do get up and
como out with mo bcforo breakfast. "
Charlie Is not shy , but rfVory decided
feeling of embarrassment creeps over
him. Of course , it is a mistake. He has
known some rapid young ladies in his time
but never one who would have come into
his room to call him before she had been
introduced to him. Hut how on earth
was ho to intimate to her that she was in
error about his identity ? She had called
him Clinriio. tool Leslie's name was
George , and ho had no brothers. In any
case it was rather a strong order for a
girl to come into any man's room who
was not her brother.
Charlie buried his henil under the
clothes , and awaited the denouement. It
was not long in comimr.
"Charlie , " said the fair one again , and
this time her voice indicated that her
face was turned in his direction , "if yon
don't wake up this instant I will throw a
wet sponge at you ! You are a la/.y pig ! "
Then ho heard her proceed to the
washing-stand and dip a sponge in water ,
and partly wring it. Next moment , with
unusually good aim for a girl , it bounced
on his head , which was protected by the
bedclothes.
Charlie smothered a laugh ; it was be
coming too ridiculous.
"Very well , then.said the voice , tip-
preachingshall ; come and drag the
clothes oil1you. . "
Now ho must net with promptitude.
Ho raised himself n little , and put the
clothes just far enough back for his as
sailant to see his laughing blue eyes. The
damsel stopped midway in her career ;
an expression of stony horror Hashed
into her face ; her cheeks dyed with crim
son , and , uttcrniir an agonixilig httl'3
groan , she turned and Hod.
Charlie laughed all the time ho was
gelti.ig up. He could not help wonder
ing how she would moot him at break
fast. Hy Jove , what a pretty creature
she was ! Would slip tell any ono or
would she ignore the incident ? Ho would
take his cue from her. The family were
all assembled in the breakfast-room
when ho came down , and he was pro-
sintcd to his host and hostess ; to three
nice , fresh-looking girls , Leslie's sisters ,
and a fair young fellow about his own
bight and coloring as "my 09115111 Kane. "
Hut whom was the fourth , his charming
visitant ? There was no other place laid
at the table , and breakfast came and
wont mid she did not appear. Ho hoard
the other girls address the cousin as
Charlie , ami comprehended that this was
tlio young gentleman for whom he had
been mistaken. Still ho did not quite ap
prove of n girl , such : i pretty girl , too ,
making so free with a cousin. "A
brother ; is all very well , " etc. It was
evident Unit no ono know a syllabic about
the event of the morning. Every time
the door opened Charlie looked toward
it ; his eyes wandered , over the lawn into
the pardon. He was almost distrait.
"llavo you any moro sisters ? " ho asked
of Leslie , as they walked together to the
shooting , a little apart from the father
and cousin.
"No , only those three , " replied Leslie ;
"and quite enough , too. "
_ Charlie was completely mystified. Ho
did not shoot as straight as usual ; his
thoughts were distracted by the pretty
golden-haired creature who had roused
him from his slumbers. Ho could not
have dreamed it no , there was the wet
sponge on the bed when ho got up.
The shooting was over ; he and Leslie
wore strolling homeward along the road ,
when a smart little village cart with si
trotting pony , and freighted with two
ladies , ciime toward them.
"This is our parson's wife , " said Leslie.
"Such a good sort I must introduce yon
to her. " And us ho made a sign to tlio
charioteer , she pulled up. and Charlie
aw her companion was his fair friend
of the morning.
"How are you , Mrs. Grey ? " cried Leslie -
lie , cheerily. "Lot mo introduce my
friend West to you. Mr. Grey , Air. West ,
Lil , Mr. West. "
Lil made the slightest motion of her
head , -without meeting Charlio's eyes.
Leslie indulged in some gay badinage
with Mrs. Grey and Charlie , though ho
felt slightly embarrassed , tried to make
conversation with Miss Lil. She answered -
sworod "yes" or "no" as occasion re
quired , nml never once raised her eyes
to his face.
"Do come iip'and dine tonight , Mrs.
Groy , " entreated Lcsllo ; "my mother
would bo so awfully pleased. I'll go
homo and got a note from her if yon
think it necessary. "
Mrs. Groy appeared to waver ; then
Charlie distinctly saw Miss Lil pinch her
Iriond in a moaning manner. " Many
thanks ; I nm so sorry , but I cannot pos
sibly manage it tonight , " Mrs. Groy an
swered. " Wo have &o much to do'still
for the baiiaar. "
"Lil , you young puss ! " cried -Leslie ,
' what do you mean by deserting us in
this way ? It is very poor compliment to
West , horo. "
" Wo are so busy settling about the
bazaar , " replied the young lady.
" Well , 1 suppose 3-011 are coming homo
some time tonight. Shall I walk down
and fetch you ? " i '
"Do ! " said Mrs. Grey , but again West
saw the surreptitious pinch , and Aliss Lil
replied hastily :
"No , please don't. Mr. Groy will see
me homo. 1 do not know when I shall bo
ready. "
The pony was getting Impatient ,
"Wo must bo oft' , " said Mrs. Grey.
" is in . " And
Tommy n hurry. away they
Hew.
" What do yon think of our parson's
wifo1 asked Lesho ,
" Not much the cut of a parson's wile , "
replied Charlio. "Hy Jovol what nligure ,
and what a lit her jacket was ! "
" She's the right sort , " said Leslie. "It
would bo a deuced good job if there were
moro like her. Bring a lot more sinners
to rcpenttinco ! " and no laughed merrily.
"Who is the young lady with her ? "
asked Charlio. trying to speak indill'er-
otitly.
" 0 , that Is Lilian Fane , my cousin.
Cliariio's e'.ster. "
A weight seemed taken from Ids
friend's breast.
" Ol" ho said , with a gasp of relief.
"Tiresome , capricious monkcyl" exclaimed -
claimed Leslie. " She must tnko it Into
liar bead all of a suddon. tins morning to
fly ofl bflforo breakfast down to Mrs.
Groy. It is all rubbish about the bazaar ;
it is not to bo for uuother month. Just
because I wanted you to meet her. bho
is capital company nml slugs divinely.
Jnat like a woman. Last uigUt asked , a
dozen questions nnd was quite interested
about you , and this morning Hies off
without stopping to set eyes on you. "
A smile curlca Charlie's lip. "Sho is
lovely , " ho said. "It is vorv unkind of
her.1'
"Nasty little vl.xcnl" retorted Leslie.
In his heart Charlie was secretly pro
voked. Leslie's sisters were nice , cheery ,
frosh-looking girls , but they could not
hold a candle to Lilian. Ho was dying to
sco her again. Ho had never felt such an
interest in n girl before. She did not
make her appearance that evening , and
the following morning nt breakfast she
was still absent. IIo was piqued. It wad
simply ridiculous for her to go on shun
ning him on account of a stupid little
contretemps that'iuight ' have happened
to any one.
" I m nfrald , " ho remarked with a
touch of pique , as they were standing in
thohall'waitimr lo start on their shooting
expedition ; " I m afraid that it is 1 who
nm driving Miss I'ano out of the houso. "
" Humbug ! " returned dipt. Leslie.
"Why should you1' ! Then , as a sudden
thought struck him , ho turned on his heel
and went into the morning room.
"Mother , " ho said , "ask Mrs. Groy to
dine tonight and make Lilian como back ,
whether or no. '
As Mr. West was a gentleman of inde
pendent fortune , and she had three
daughters , Mrs. Lcsllo was not altogether
displeased at the pretty cousin having ab
sented herself.
" Of course I will ask them , my dear , "
she replied ; " but they are so busy with
their bazaar that I am not at all sure I
shall persuade them to como. "
" If don't " Leslie
you , observed point
edly , "West will fancy you are keeping
Lil out of the way on { purpose. 1 am
pretty sure ho tliuiksso now. "
' 'Georgol" exclaimed his mother Indig-
natly , " how can you say anything so
absurd ? "
" Well ; take my advlco , and have her
back tonight ! " nnd Cant , Leslie departed
without giving his mother any time to
make any rejoinder.
He had , however , said qmto enough.
Mrs. Leslie forthwith put on her bonnet
antl went down to tlio rectory. She found
Mrs. Grey and Lilian sitting under a
tree together making a languid pretense
of needlework. Mrs. Leslie greeted both
ulloolionately. "We particularly want
you to como up and dine with us to
night , " she said to the rectoross. "and
this naughty truant must not remain
away any longer , " smiling sweetly at
Lilian.
"O , Aunty , wo are so , so busy ! " cried
the young lady plying her needle vigor
ously.
"You must not quite lorgct , my Jove ,
that you are my guest , " said her aunt
with a certain amount of dignity and a
tone that implied reproof.
Lilian understood it and colored deep-
J
"I shall bo delighted to dine , " inter
posed Mrs. Grey hastily. "And you must
blame me for monopolizing so much of
Lilian's time. "
"I do not blame anyone , " returned
Mrs. Leslie suavely. "Hut I hope to sco
3011 both at dinner tonight. "
So. us Miss Lilian had do desire to of-
lend her aunt , she overcame her repug
nance to meeting Mr. West , and to that
gentleman's great delight , he had the
pleasure of taking her in to dinner that
same evening. Two or three neighbors
had been invited. Hut although Charlie
had nn immense fund of small talk and
was reputed excellent company , ho failed
altogether in inspiring any interest in
his fair neighbor. She appeared , as she
was , thoroughly uncomfortable , and
only responded to his sallies witli mono
syllables.
It was a glorious moonlight nightand
after dinner some of the young people
went out into the gardens. Charlie
watched his opportunity and pounced on
Lilian , keeping horongagcd in conversa
tion until they were separated some little -
tlo distance from the others. Then he
said suddenly and not without a slight
llnttor at his heart :
"Why will you not speak to mo ? Surely
it is not my fault that such a stupid little
accident should have occurred. Why
need vou bear malice because I was put
in the room your brother had been occu
pying ? "
In the moonlight he could see the swift
crimson racing through her fair skin.
" 1 I shall never , never get over it , "
she said , putting UP her hands to cover
the llamos that were burning her face.
What can you have thought of mo. If
if any ono were to know it , I should
novcr'hold up my head again. "
"I hope you tfiink I am a gentleman , "
cried Charley indignantly. "I suppose
you don't imagine that ono word would
over pass my Tips on the subject ? "
"Will you swear it ? " said the discom-
fitted maiden.
And ho swore by all his goods. After
that she became friendly. Ho had the
pleasure of listening to her divine voice ,
as her cousin had called it , and when ho
loft the court ho was madly in love with
her.
her.Ho had up to this time entertained n
rooted aversion to matrimony even now
ho could not qiiito make up his mind to
propose to Lilian , but thought ho would
wait mid sco how ho folt. lie was de
lighted to find that she lived in London ,
nnd struck up a tremendous friendship
with her brother , whom ho bade to din
ner and many other entertainments. Every -
ry day nftor lie was parted from Lilian
ho foft worse and worse ; ho began even
to think that it was the best thing in the

So when Lilian returned to London ,
Charlie , aided and abetted by his name
sake , contrived to see a great deal of
her. Ho was invited to dine at her
mother's house , and ono evening , when
he had inveigled her into the Charming
conservatory that led out ot tlio drawing
room , he , in the midst of pretending to
ndnnro a ( lower , turned suddenly to her ,
nml , in a voice that was a little unsteady
exclaimed :
"O , Lilian , can't you see how awfully
in level nm with you ? "
Lilian looked down. She made no re
sponse to his words or to the pressure of
the hand which soi/.ed hers.
"Don't ' little for darling
you care a mo ,
ling ? " ho asked.
Lilian turned away her head.
"Yon have quite forgiven mo for what
happened nt the court , haven't you ? " ho
pleaded malndroltly.
She dragged her hand from his and
turned a pair of ( lashing eyes upom him ,
"If you dare remind mo " she began.
" . I ' 1 ' " ho
"No. won't , won't , Interrupted
her. "JJiit don't you see , darling , " ami
iusl the least twiiiklo of mischiovoiiauess
came into his blue eyes "if you feel so
dreadfully bad nbout it , it would all bo
put quite straight by you marrying mo.
Then you may throw any number ot wet
sponges at.mo without having any qualms
of conscience afterwards.
This was too much. Lilian tore her
self from linn and rushed into tlio draw
ing room. IIo followed her. Mercifully
for him no ono else was thero.
' Forgive mo , darling , and say that
you do care n little for mo. " ho pleaded
taking her hand for the third timo.

And ultimately she decided to inuko

foreiirn nation as anecdotes picked up
from their everyday lifo. 1 have in the
text ol my former letters to the Chroni
cle given you quite a number of these.
The present etl'itsion , however , 1 mean to
make nothing but a string of these stories.
The of Shall Nusr-ed-Doon
youth - - was
surely sad enough , and ho himself had
to sillier so much from the Injustice of
Ids father that one would naturally think
ho would not bo guilty of the same of
fense. Yet so It is that ho behaved ex
actly as his sire , Mehmcd Shah , did.
The present ruler of I'errfia has live sons
living ( the do/-.oii or so of daughters are
of no account cither in history or in so
cial life there ) . These sons are Massond
Miiv.a , the eldest , about ! ! 7 years old ,
whoso title is ( i'll-es-Sultan shadow of
tlie king. The second son is Moux.tiU'er-
ed-lei'ii , about 85 , called Valiant ! , ot
heir apparent. The third is Kaninin
Mir/.a , called olllclnlly Oalb-es-Sultancli ,
or vica-regent of the kingdom. The re
maining two arc babies between the ago
of 7 anil ! , anil are ot no account as yet.
TUB KMIKST SON.
The oldest son is tlio . .best ami resem
bles his father tl'e ' most in features and
characteristics. He has the bow legs of
the Kadiars nml his father's dark and
watchful eyes , thosamo curious hesitation
in speaking , tlio same striuenl voice anil
peculiar inllection. lie oven speaks his
Persian with the same strange accent as
his father. Hut this son was born of n
slave or rather a seeghay , u temporary
wife , anil is therefore not entitled to bo
heir. He is very low of stature , but very
strong and of a cat-like springiness
The liar , Mtm/.ntlcr-cd-Dccn , is in all
respects the inferior of his senior brother.
His intellect is weak and incessant de
bauches of the vilest and most unspeaka
ble kind have played havoc with n consti
tution once vigorous. Ho keeps three
sorts of harems and is rejkonod to bo of
depraved morals even with a people of
such low morals and uimatur.il tastes tig
the Persians. Ho is completely under
the dominion of the priesthood , who play
with him as with a puppet. Ho is a great
drinker and hasheesh smoker , and his
vices are condoned and made light of by
the mullahs in consideration of his doing
exactly in other respects as they wisli
him to.
THE HANDSOMEST 1SOY.
The third son , the Naib , is the hand
somest and most good natured of tlio
three , and has of late years become his
father's favorite. IIo , too , is very de
voted to the manifold duties of his ex
tensive harem , and it is said that he has
good taste in the matter of female be-iuty
and has certainly moro attractive women
in his anderoun than his father , ( a thing
not very dillicult , as the current opinion
of all those who have seen the Shah's
women is to the ell'eet that there is not a
single pretty one among them. ) The
Naib don't amount to much intellectu
ally , though , and has no great qualities ,
either for good or evil. He lias his fath
er's stinginess , and besides a. love for all
kinds of potty meanness. Ho cheats and
swindles generally on a small scale.
T1IK 1'AVOHITE.
Now , then , there used to bo a fourth
prince , who played quite a role while ho
lasted. This was Kissim Khan , the son
of a slave mother , a low , coarse woman ,
whoso vocation that of dancer is hold
to bo the most desperate for women to
pursue. She was not handsome , judged
by our standard , yet she swayed a power
over the prince winch none before nor
after her has. She possessed a dogged
kind of persistence and made her royal
lover do what she wanted. Her son , it
must bo confessed , \yas a beautiful boy ,
gifted and high spirited , and in nccom-
plishment.1 ho boat his other brothers.
Tliis boy tiio Shah became inordinately
fond of , to that extent that he seriously
planned making him his heir , supplant
ing MoiizaHbr-cil-Deon , whom ho never
cared for. Now , whljo the Shah is an
Irresponsible despot in all other things ,
in tlio matter of succession ho is bound
by the treaty of Tiireoinanchai , conclu
ded with Russia is 1828 , at the close of
the war which gave to tlio northern colonies
nies ono third ot Persia , including Haku.
AN OIISTACI.K OVKKCOMi : .
In ono of the provisions of tlio treaty
the matter of succession to the Persian
throne is regulated so that the Shah no
longer has the right to exercise his dis
cretion or go by preference , but tying
him down so that the first legitimate son
( that is , son by a free born woman of
royal blood ) must become the heir. The
Shah , however , tried to overcome the ob
stacle , working tootli and nail ( or years
to obtain the consent of all the 1'Juropcnn
diplomates to have Kassini Khau de
clared the heir. Ho did finally obtain
this consent , and this joyful occasion was
celebrated , consummated and ratified by
a general dinner given by the Shall to nil
the foreign ministers , That was nbout
twenty years ago. There never has boon
such a dinner since or before in Persia.
The cooks , the pastry and the phito were
imported from Paris , the game came
from all over 1'orsia and the Caucasus ,
and the fruit trom the far down south.
The Shall himself drank to the health of
his heir , and the diplomates responded to
it standing. The Shah , for the first and
only time in his lifo , was drunk. Two
weeks later the young prince , for whom
all this hullabaloo had been madedied in
convulsions under circnniblances which
scorned to point to poison. The Shah
smca then has given up all scheming.
Ho lets thing take their course.
AN AM11ITIOUS TVHANT.
The oldest son. Massoud Mirza lias
bcoirgovornor of the whole south of Persia
for twenty years or moro , nml has
amassed a fortune by wholesale killing ,
torturing and extorting estimated at
10,000,000 tomans (121,000,000) ( ) , wields
really moro power than his father , anil
has n smaller but much moro elliciont
army than the ono of his father. Ho has
often avowed his intention of lighting his
way to the throne when the old man dies.
Ho is also popularly credited with having
boon instrumental in the death of his
rival brother , Kassim Khan. The heir 1
have sullieiomly painted. His is gover
nor of Azerbaijan , and resides at labnn ,
the woalthost and largest town in Persia.
Ho will not bo able to fight his brother
Massoud successfully , because ho lacks
troops and purpose. The Nnlb Is com-
of the it is true
mandor-in-chiof army , ,
and holds some of the most lucrative
dfiicos , with his residence at Telioriui ,
but ho is too vacillating , and is ncapiiblo
of forming errcat projects , still moro of
executing them. When the Shah dies ,
there may bo a triangular war between
these brothers If Itussia and Lnghmd do
not stop In and settle the thing by an
nexationarbitration or Iho force of arms.
THE OUAMHON MKAIf MAN.
How moan n follow the Nalb-es-Sul-
tanoh is a few stones will show. The
soldiers hero biro out to the government ,
not for a term of .years , but for life.
Their pay , nominally , is iiwilo Jariro for a
cheap country like Persia. They have ,
besides , so little to do uud the dliciplino
is so lax that they can keep tholr families
with them , can trade and become artis
ans , shopkeepers , eto. The bulk of. them ,
though , profess to pursue the honorable
and ancient calling of usurer. A soldier
with 10 tomans ( $15) ) may lend out this
sum in small fractions to poor people ,
taking from their clients generally IS to
V'O per cent a month , and in this way the
small capital above mentioned ( .fl
sulllccs In Itself , with the few needs o
the lower Persian , to keep a soldier'
family from starving. Their superiors ,
the ollicers , know this and prolit by it.
rrom the Naib down to Iho lowest lieu
tenant they all "eat" ( tho.Torsian techni
cally calls this form of stealing "Khor-
dan' to eat ) the pay of the common
soldier. The colonel , again , "eats'1 i
part of the euptain'sand lieutenant's pay.
and the general and comniamier-iu-i'liief
"eat" a part of the pay of nil of these ,
uheii the soldier tloos get his pay , often
nine-tenths or more has lu-on "ea'ten" by
the ravenous superiors before it gels to
him.
A Rixni.i ; r.xrr.i'noN' .
Tlio only exception to this form the
soldiers in the Qll-e.s-Sultan's pay. They
get their money to a shah for reasons
quite plain. This last winter ono of the
regiments was transferred from Kerman-
shah to Teheran. They staved at the
latter city six months , and during that
whole time got only six krans (1)0 ( ) cents )
The other T''O kraus were "eaten" up by
the Nail ) . The generals under him , and
the colonel , major , captains ami lieuten
ants , not tilone that , however , but Iho
soldiers , were lent a part of this money
first stolen from them to lend U out on
their part at usiirioti * interest , which
they diddividing their interest with their
superiors. It is said that the Naib cleared
in these * ijx months from that one regi
ment alone in "catt'ii" money and
usurious interest derived from U the
modest sum of (1,000 ( tomans ( $1),000) ) ) and
the way ho did things with this ono regi
ment he has done and is doing , moro or
less , with till. No wonder tiio number of
his beauties , of his slaves and eunuchs ,
of his horses and his palaces , jewels ana
gardens , is steadily Increasing. His
summer seat of Kamrcnich near Tehe
ran , bnjlt after the plan of Sohonbrunii
near Vienna , with fountains , statues ami
orange grovcs.boats anything of the kind
his father owns.
A KHMAUICAItU : IIISTOUIAN.
The shall , like till other Oriental rulers
of old , keeps a historian in his piy : , who
has to maiiutacturo history of the past
and present. The historian is n great
donkey and gigantic ignoramus. Ho
knows only Persia and Arabia.and never
road anything in his lifo approaching
accurate history. He has been lying so
much for his living during the past thirty
"
years that ho now"bolieves himself what
he writes and says. I made his acquaint
ance , and ho straightway began to toll
mo yarns , the like of which 1 never ex
pect to hear again yarns against which
Kli Perkins' and : i Chicago drummer's
nro feeble attempts. In speaking ofj the
present shah's resources , for instance , ho
told me gravely that his revenues yielded
him so iimny pieces of gold that nobody
could count them , but they had to be
shoveled into tlio strong room for fifteen
days and nights by six men , can-fully
watched. His armies , ho said , were as
innumerable as the grains of sand on the
seashore. And such rot as this he writes
in downright earnest into his books of
history , and the shah swallows it. Well ,
the shall , like many another man , has
some ideal rulers whom ho in his modest
way emulates. These are the c/ar , Peter
tlie Great , King Frederick the Great and
Emperor Nicholas , lie can't hear enough
stones about them , and has largo num
bers of portraits , busts and med-.illioiis of
them in his possession.
A MODKKN HAUOL'N AI.-KASCII1D.
One fine evening , however , this histo
rian of his had told him some remarka
ble stories of the Caliph Haroun-al-Uas-
chid , and about his nightly visits in dis
guise about the streets and avenues of
Bagdad. This tickled the Shah's fancy
and without communicating his plans to
any one , lie wont out the next night ,
dressed up like a common Persian mule
driver. Now the complex a'A
making up the Shah's castle , and amle-
roun , etc. , at Tehcron , is styled "Tlio
"
Ark , "and it compasses a q"uadrangle ,
the entrance to which is guarded by sen
tinels. When ho passed these sentinels
at midnight they were asleep , and next
morning lie had them punished. Again
nml again ho made excursions by night ,
and generally the sentinels were found
dozing and inattentive. At last one
night ho struck a Tartar. The man
would not let him pass. In vain the Shah
showed him his costly underclothes nnd
a seal ring with his cypher. Tlio man
\yas , as I saiil , a Tartar , and deaf to Per
sian ( which he did not understand ) , as
well as to the Persian mode of persua
sion. Ho kept the Shah all night in his
little sentry box , and it was not till this
faithful sentry was released at 0 o'clock
that the monarch was released. Mean
while , of course , the absence of the Shah
had boon discovered and had occasioned
much apprehension in the anderoun
among the ladies and eunuchs. They
all were delighted when the Shah , in a
sorry plight , feeling "all bunged UP"
and shame-faced , came back.
Till : ItKWAUD OF IUTV.
If Iho Shah had boon a sensible man ho
would have rewarded that guardsman ,
the only watchful , energetic soldier ho
had met"with so far. Hut instead he had
Iho nun bastinadoed ( "Follak khordan"
they call it , moaning "to eat the slick ) , a
process at which the feet of the delin
quent arc lifted up from the ground and
strapped to a horizontal bar and then
the slick applied to the bare solos. In
dependence of mind and prompt action
is what the Shah hates under all circum
stances , even when these qualities aroused
used for his benefit. During ono of the
campaigns ngainsl the Turcomans in the
northeastern" provinces a sergeant saved
the whole camp by his prompt action
and presence of mind from being mur
dered In their sleep. As a reward the
sergeant had afterward his no. < o and ears
cm oil' , it being considered that ho vrnt
altogether too fresh. Another common
soldier in Meshed during the siege of
that town by the Turcomans savfd the
garrison during a panic uhon all his
superiors had lost their heads by putting
himself at the head of the troops and de
feating the enemy. Tiio soldier was
privately assassinated as being too am
bitious.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 20. [ Correspond-

Washington n dull , stupid place in sum
mer , when congress is not in session nnd
the president , his family , the cabinet nnd
other olllemls of note are out of town
are mistaken. Wo can hvo without those
thing' ? and thrive. Of course we miss
the street-walkers and lobbyists , and the
streets are quiet at night , our policemen
have a chance to take longer naps , but
In spite of these drawbacks to peace ami
comfort we manage to exist and bo
happy. Indeed , wo who have been In
town all summer have haJ a delightful
time of it. There Is an independence
about staying at homo in summer time
which too high a value cannot be placed
upon. First place your bank account a
heavier , you can wear your thin old
clothes , and for that matter go around lu j'
shirt-sleeves and Mother Hubbards without -
out fear of being arrested. Wo should
like to compare our dianos with those
kept by people who have boon crowded
into small bug holes at Saratoga , Long
liraneh , Newport nnd other like abodes
of heated misery called "summer re
sorts. " Strange how willing people are
to pay $ -1 , jimt the trimmings extra , per
