IN THE GARDENS OF

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

water-pipe or a melon. 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

long as foreign con3nmers are kept, as they
have been hither to kept, out of the country,
by the difficulty of getting into it. 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
