IN THE GARDENS OF TEHEP.AN. CITIES OF REFUGE ! The New York Herald, which now employs the most brilliant staff of correspondents in the world, has a letter apropos of the Shah’s visit, descriptive of life in Persia, from which we make copious extracts. Mr. Murray is a reliable writer, and his accounts may be con sidered as true and life-like, as they are inter esting: THE SHAH AT HOME. The little dark man in spectacles, about whom so much fuss has been made, was, and still is likely to be for a short time, a very j he very seldom does choose to do it, because terrible person indeed upon his own territory, a custom exists of taking wives upon lease, or There is no one to oppose him—no middle marrying fora definite period. Concubinage, which should or might have gone to make Teheran habitable is all in the Shah’s pocket. Indeed, it would be in the highest degree dan gerous for a Persian to live in such a manner to indicate to his government that he might be squeezed with good results. Now and then a sly person treats himself to soft car pets and delicate food, and he hangs a few flawed and generally worthless jewels about his womankind; but he takes care to preserve an appearance of the utmost squalor outside his house, in order that his luxrious mode of life may at least attract no attention. There is indeed no way in which money can be spent in Teheran. There is no social life there—no parties, no balls, no park or prater or promenade. When a man ha6 bought a few shawls and made them into long robes, when he has got together half a dozen horses and a few wives, there is practically the end of his tether. He may multiply his fe male establishment if he chooses to do so; but class, no nobility, no rich men; for the theory ! in the sense of a disgraceful intercourse be- Hshment never live together, for they would j W.

Every house is as full as a rabbit warren with servants and the ser vants of those, servants. The master of the house calls them all indiscriminately “ baja,” which signifies “children.” Though there is no social life, consisting cf balls and dinner j | parties, in the Persian capital, there is a great deal of ceremonious visiting; and Persian visits are interminable, lasting three or four hours at a stretch. The estimation in which a guest is held is marked by the length of time the host retains him, and he is crammed with sweetmeats and deluged with tea before he is allowed to depart, if he be a person of any consequence. First comes a wa ter-pipe, with a gold and jeweled mouth piece, which the guest usually brings with him, and which is presented by one of the five or six servants who accompany him on his visit. A junior attache or an Indian lieutenant of native infantry would hardly go abroad with leps than five attendants. After the first kaleoD, or water-pipe, tea is served, sometimes in very delecate porcelain cups; then sweetmeats made of gum and sugar, colored with the juice of the melon or the pomegranate. They are very good. After them comes more tea and more pipe. A vis itor of consequence is seldom let off till ho has drunk at least four cups of strong tea J NO. M.

During half the year the roods are covered by snow; for three "mouths more they are perilous from mud and slosh. In the hot season the sun and the east wind beat pitilessly on the trav eler. There are t no inns on the way, nothing but a few empty and desolate barns and post ing houses, which swarm with vermin and afford nothing but a dubious shelter. The wild tril>es on the frontier between Turkey and Persia are always in movemont, and wander about in armed bands thousands strong. They are ferocious and filthy robbers. Woe to the snug railway clerk or well fed engin eer of plump and rosy aspect who falls into their hands. Some years ago they caught an English attache (a Mr. Tod) and ate up bis pomatum. What was worse for him, they made bim eat some of it too, and strip ped him naked, tied him to a horse’s tail, pricked bim up behind with a spear's point when he flagged, and ultimately held him to ransom. Until the railways ore made (an end of the business which will hardly come about in the present century) everything which con stitutes the comfort of a civilized household must be imported, and land carriage is expen sive. A. moderate man, too, will be obliged to keep a dozen servants and half a dozen horses, es gayiy, he only does so for his own satisfaction; and they remain, nevertheless, shut up, or are supposed to remaiu shut up, in the auderoon or woman’s depart ment, far from the eye ot enterprising men. As a fmatter of fact, however, the PERSIAN LADIES ARE TERRIBLE GADABOUTS, and in this respect they present a remarkable contrast to the Turkish women. Even at Con stantinople, where there is so large an influx of foreigners, a love affair between a Frank and a Turkish woman is almost, if not quite impossible; and whenever it does happen by some extraordinary chance, (such as an abuse of confidence on the part of a Frankish physi cian, who may have been admitted into the harem,) it is nearly always followed bv mur der. The Persian ladies, however, have no scruples at all in tbeir dealings with foreign ers, and no sooner has a smart young attache or Indian|officer arrived at Teheran than he is pursued by letters thrust into his bands in the streets, and declaring in the choisest language that he is a pearl, a pomegranate, a rose, a star, and that a lady who is dying for him would be glad of a shawl worth fifty tomans, and bums to have a pri vate interview with him. Some of the Shah’s wives play these tricks, for shawls are among the current coins of Persia, and the merchants buy them back at a fixed price, scarcely differing more from the first cost than a French or Austrian bank note after it / ALDIE, EWING vV CG-, Dealers iu Flour, Meal, Grain and all kind of Stock Feed, No 13 Ala- street, Atlanta, Ga.
