“ On Bit.” Correspondence of the CouriuJoaroil. Pasth, Aognat 1,1873. I see m the Daily Telegraph of this morn ing a picturesquely insinuating editorial con cerning the Shah’s tour in Italy. The writer sets out by quoting the exclamation, “Asaex da Shah," which a sated Parisian hurled at an itinerant "ballad-singer in the Champs Ely- sees the very evening of his Majesty’s de parture; and having made some witty bnt purposely ironical observations on the ever- changing mercurial nature of the French, who weary of everything except the Boule vards, he falls into a strain of hap py, jocose adulation of that teautiful land into which, at this season, the tun showers a perpetual and universal rain of petroleum, of that beautiful land wherein from the Alps to the Adriatic, and from July to October it is a constant broil, causing one to feel like a fried potato which is without lard to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. On those grounds the Shah is congratulated that, being fond of cold drinks and having started on his travels with a mind to take all the chances, and enjoy everything, he will be as comfortable and as pleased under the burning olive trees of Vicenza, as ho was under the pavilion in the Trocadero, which he said reminded him of Teheran more than all else that he had en countered. Finally, our satirist thinks it nhould be a source of infinite pride and satis faction with Christian people everywhere that this great Pagan monarch, this king of kings, goes back to Persia enchanted with his Euro pean experiences, having quitted the scene of one triumph to be only the more delighted with the next. There is, beneath all this, a dreadful, a cruel joke on the lespectability of England and the perspicacity of France. Russia can stand it because Russia is at once remote and, socially, reckless. Beside, the court at St. Petersburg speedilyjand unceremoniously got rid of the Shah. Germany can stand it be cause the Germans were merely passing civil. But England, which put the big pot in the little one, which devoted Buckingham Palace, the Queen’s town residence, to the Persian’s entertainment, which tuft-hunted him as only the English can tuft-hunt a prevailing lion, and France, quick wilted and ready to be put upon by an execrable heathen confidence game! It is awful. There is a broad grin spreading itself over the lace of Europe. Briefly, the Hhah is said to be a dead-beat He is pronounced not only a dead-beat but he is a dead-beat of genius. There are those who declare him a fraud—no Shall at all—only an advertising agent of Reuter. This is, I take it ,a calumny. He may be the speculative Barou's middle-ma n ; but he is still the ruler over that squallid. lice-covered and diseased country, which is famous chiefly as having given the world Darius and the cholera. Here after it will better be known as the home of Nasr-ed-Deen, the peer of Victoria Woodhnll and the superior of George Francis Train. I will tiy to tell you the story as they are now telling it everywhere over here. It seems that the Shah ^first showed his cloven paw at St Petersburg. He was standing at a bay window with the Princess Dagmar. Her Royal Highness observed that the diamonds worn by her Asiatic companion were exceeding rich and rare. “ Not so rich nor so rare,” said the gallant Shah, “as yours,” throwing arm about the Princess’ royal neck. Now, a scientific Princess is usually a woman of spirit, and, in addition to this professional character, the Princess Dag mar is a good girl. She raised a royal row about it, and, among hands, they hustled the amorous Persian out ot the country upon down gra b*. Wisely, however, they kept their mouths shut. They said, “He has sold us; we don’t want to be the only dupes; let him go and sell our enemies.” The ever-ready Naar-ed- O t -en was willing enough, and, emboldened by his escape, he augmented the measure of Lis during. Ensconced in Buckingham Pal ace, the virtuous dwelling of a widowed Queen, he began a career of unbridled licen tiousness. The worst characters were picked up on the streets and carried into Victoria’s private apartments. Bruisers and cock lighters were introduced to the halls of Stat3, there to exhibit their art and skill. All night long, and every night, there was an orgy in which the Shah and his suite made themselves as free and easy as though free-love were the law of the land. But this was by no means all. The Jving-of-Kings, not to be outdone in liberality by his entertainers, bought huge quantities of jewelry, hiking some of it away with him and leaving behind him many costly presents. The presents the jewelers have! Lsrk again. Bet vb&t tha Shah took ! away with him they will never see any more, j It is even said that, whilst in Paris, some of; the members of his suit had to be remon- j strated with torching their desigus on the | plate of the palace in which they were! lodged. | To aii this, it any of it be true—and where ; there is so much talk there must be some ; truth one is disposed to say, “ served them j right.” There was never a more absurd, and, j in some respects, a more unprincipled and , demoralizing theatrical performance than the series of pageants, ovations and honors which j greeted this filthy Asiatic vagabond, from his | advent into Europe to his exit into Persia. ! That he insulted a Russian Princess; that he befouled the home of an English Queen; that he swindled a gaping riff-raff of boot-kissing jewelers, would seem to be a most natural tiling for such a varlet to do. His personal behavior was conspicuously ill-bred and un bearable. He did only what the whim of the moment suggested, regardless of persons, usages and consequences. He paid not the smallest attention to his entertainers except as it suited his caprice. His table manners were particularly bad. He would take op a peach, bite a bit of it, and throw the remain der on the floor, ne would suck a plum of about half its juice and drop the pulpy sub stance on the cloth. In all things he affected the King-of-Kings, wrapped in the mantle of his own heathen originality and dirt. A good many years ago, Away down in the wilds of Tennessee, Tom Neal, of Dyeisburg, di-vcovered a darky who had found a bag of diamonds hid in a hollow log (originally it W: s a bag of gold, but for present purposes it will answer better as a bag of diamonds.) 1 took from the first a spiritual and imaginary iutere. t in that darkey, stealing him away from Albert Roberts, who had dramatic desigus on him, and carrying him through a series of ex traordinary adventures. At proper intervals, I took bim to Mexico with Maximilian, aud made him Duke of the Empire; carried him to Bazriue, and made him the keeper of au American bar in the Rue de la Paix, and finally left him with Theodorus in Abyssinia. I never wrote a line about that darkey that was not iu.mcdi- ateiy gobbled up by all the newspapers. At lost I got to hall believing my own romance or rather Tom Neal’s—and at this moment I um almost persuaded that toy quondam col ored Tennessee hero is the Shah ot Persia. I observed a striking likeness between the two, aud I am sure that one of these days it will come out how Baron Reuter caused the real Shah to be privately assassinated; how having become acquainted with our Tennesseean, and finding him a man of parts and experi ence, he smuggled him into Teheran, and how, wishing to advertise his Persian railway scheme in Europe, he planned this recent visit. Be this as it may, Nusr-ed Dcen is a mas ter spirit. He is the premium confidence man of the day. If he is descended from Darius he has a right to claim that he has done what Darius conld not do—overrun Europe. I am a little foggy about these historical points, ex cept where 1 make them myself; but it strikes me that Darias was rather loose both in his money matters and in his morals. No odds for tr»«jt; Nnsr-ed Deen is a success in his line of l v , aess. He is fit to be the hero cf the f/ic opera of the day. and, as he has u «rf^Tr” < »vignred in a London farce, why might •git: taken up by Mr. Charles Decocq? ants to get even on the old ac- ^ ;e is a noble chance. He may re- ’nii bTfe^elf ot the daikey and the hollow- log and uuiUr''4'onnessce and Persia by a dra matic link of ufchtic and diamonds “surviving the ravages of time.” H. W. Old “Rough and Ready.’ MB BURIAL PLACE OP ZACHARY TAYLOR. From the Loalirille Courier-Journal. Between fire and six miles from tbs city, on an obscure neighborhood road, ft quarter of a mile from the Brownsboro rood, reet the re mains of the twelfth President of the United States—Zachary Taylor—whose name was once upon all lips, and whose praises sound ed from one end of the country to the other. The grove is situated tn the northeast cor ner of the Taylor farm, and it is mortifying to relate that it is in R sadly neglected con dition— nnderbmsh, weeds and ailantus trees rendering it very difficult of access. No monument has ever been erected to Gen. Taylor’s memory. The remains lie there in a plain vanlt bnilt in the side of a hill, with a marble slab over the door bearing the inscrip tion : • £ TAYLOR: * ; Bor},- Nov. 24, 1784; 5 Can July 9, 1850. The service rendered by this brave, good- natnred old soldier, deserve monumental rec ognition. A gentleman who recently visited the grave said to a reporter of this paper As I stood there with head uncovered, my mind reverted to boyhood days, and I remem bered a solemn funeral cortege at Philadel phia, the city in mourning, public buildings and private residences draped in black, a hash all over the city, sadness depicted in every face, for great, brave, old General Taylor was dead. The whole natioD, in fact, mourned his loss. Twenty-three years after this I find myself at his grave near Louisville, and am impressed with the fact that the nation’s dead are soon forgotten. ” The place does indeed appear forgotten. A stone wall encloses the little grave-yard, and a rusty and unused iron gate frowns upon the visitor. It evidently has not been opened for years. Coh Richard Taylor is buried to the right of Gen. Tsylor. An obelisk, eighteen feet high, is erected over his grave, bearing the inscription: “Col. Richard Taylor, a sol dier of the Revolutionary war, and a native of Orange county, Virginia; bom April 3, 1744; died Jan. 19, 1829." Col. Taylor came to this State while his son, Zachary, was an infant, and settled on the plantation where he is now buried. ISAAC T. HEARD & CO., COTTON FACTORS, AUCU8TA, - - - CEORCIA.
