The ancient city of Tabriz, which has sud-1 denly taken the placo of Teheran astho centre of violenco in the Shah'a dominions, can hardly bo said to havo ever enjoyed a quiet life. When Turk and Turcoman and Persian were not shaking tho old walls with battoring rams tho earthquake was having its innings. The public buildings bear traces of this sort of violenco—notably tho kabud Masiid—Blue Mosquo—constructed of wonderfully arabesqued bluo tiles; while the Citadel Rapes at you with its carthquakcrivon sides. Although tho Anglo-Indian telegraph runs through the city, not as in the ancient days when it was known as tho glorious Tauris. The new Russian railway has deprived it of much of its importonce and tho leather merchants and silversmiths eke out a precarious livelihood by. engaging in a littlo smuggling. Ono of tire most striking facts about England is that social revolutions in that country tako place gradually, without noiso or trouble, without a chango of regime, or oven a dangerous crisis.—"Figaro," Paris. for Eroncnia!
