{selves have immediately been placed under
in Persia, capital of the Province of Khor- assan, in a fertile and well-cultivated plain, on the Teyend, lat. 36° ,°17° N. long. 59.40 E, and isin the centre of numerous rentea, the caravan route frem ‘T'sheranto Khiva and Bukhara, passing throngh this city. The town presents a beantiful and surprising view from a distance. Above the walls, which are of vast cireuit, shines the gilded dome of ene of the most splen- did mosqnes in the East, the beautiful min- arets of the tomb of Lmauim Riza, a follower of Ali, and the summits of other sacred buildings. Meshed is the chief seat of the great sect of the Shiites, is ef nearly equal importanee with Mecca, the sacred city of the orthodox Mohomedans, and hence it abounds in ‘hely men,’ arrayed in green turbans and sashes, whe instruct the Pil- grims visiting the city. Woollen goeds, metal wares (especialiy sword blades), gold
rk and jewelry, are tl principal

je € articles of manufacture. Beis mous place of ‘pilgrimage, it is, to somes eXtent, a centre of education. — The population is estimated at 109,009. Meshed has assumed great political import- ance during the past year from the fact of Major Butlers’ discovery that the KHiver Attrek—which hitherto was supposed to have had its source at Boujdmand, near the Caspian takes its rise near the city, at a mountain 6,700 feet high. As the Russians have a treaty making the Attrek the boundary be- tween the Czar’s and the Shah’s dominions, it has been truly observed that ‘‘ the mere fact that the river rises near Meshed will sooner or later have some important political con- sequences, for it will give the Russian’s a treaty right to bring their frontier close to that important city.” Meshed is less than 150 miles from Merv, for the capture of which the Russians have perfected their plans. It was only en Saturday last that a despatch to the Aai/ announced that the Persian Gevern- ment was about to propose the appointment of a European commission for the settlement of Persia s North-eastern and Attrek frontier. The occupation St” Meshed by 10,000,Persian troops, in view of these facts, is therefore, a matter of great importance,

The Late Attempt on the Czar’s Life.
A Halifax Herald despatch states, that as the details of the last attempt upen the life of the Czar are more fully made public, the escape of the Emperor and the entire Imperial family from instant death seems more remarkable. The force of the ex- plosion tore up a larger hole in the floor of the dining room than was at first stated, the wrecked portion being not less than fifteen feet in length by twelve in width. Fragments of timbers were thrown ail ever the hal!, and had the Czar and his family been seated in their accustomed places at the time, they would have been destroyed. There is a great deal of comment and sur- prise over the fact that despite the supposed vigilance of the guard around the Impertal Palace, the mine was laid, Since the re- ceipt, by the Emperor, of several warnings, after the failure of the attempt upon his life on the railway near Moscow, on the Sth December, that the winter palace and hini- self weuld yet be blown up into the air, the palace has been guarded by the police, the adjvining streets patrolled night and day by a picked force,the grounds brilliantly illom inatedat night by electriclight,and all persons found wandering in the vicinity and un-
able to give a satisfactory account of them-
arrest. Owing to the seeming al solute im possibility of outside parties placing a mine within the palace without detection, it is generally believed that persons high in authority, and in the Czar’s contidence, were concerued in the conspiracy. At- tempts are now being made to trace the course ef the electric wires by which the dynamite was exploded, and the epinien prevails in official circles that they will be found net ta extend beyond the walls of the palace. The addition of this fresh shock, following so swiftly upon the trying experiences through which he has passed, is anid to have made a profeund impression | upon the Czar, who was already half crazed | with fear and apprehension. lt is believed that within a very short time the Czar will either announce his abdicatien in favor of the Czarowitch, or issue a proclamation convening an assembly of the netables of | the ewpire, for the surpese of framing a) constitutional form ef Government. in official circles here, it is believed that the former alternative is the more probable. | it is stated by cable specials that the | Czar was in consultation with Prince Alex- | ander «f Bulgaria upon the Balkan ques-| tion when a servant announced dinner. | The Czar paid no attention to it. A few) moments after dinuer was again announced. The Czar then took the arm of the Prince’ when the explosion eccurred. He stopped shert at the sound and raised his eyes to heaven in gratitude. Neither spoke. The Czar was perfectly calm and an hour after-
wards sat down to dinner beside the great.
gap in the floor, The Empress was asleep and heard nothing of the explosion. Orders
ubligations of the provinces, the constant aceumulatien ef debt and the necessity arising from time to time for the imposi- tion uf new taxes, render any suggestions locking to an alleviation of the financial burdens of tho Provinces worthy of seri- ous censideration. The latest remedial measure conned ever but not publicly ad- vecated in this Province is that of the sub- stitution of biennial for annual sessions. Upen the face of it the plan seems to be an admirable one; the Prevince would be saved many thousands of dollars now ex- pended in indemnity to members, print- ing, extra clerks and cumbrons leg- islation. We have, moreover, an. ex- ample of the advantages of the system in the United States. With the exception of Maine, Lonisianna, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Yerk, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Wisconsin and Connecticut, the
State Legislatures held their sessions biennially, and in Massachusetts an amendment in faver of biennial meetings
;
has been adopted and will shorily be in operation. Mr. ‘Talbot, ex-Governor of the latter State, who inaugurated the change, supported it on the ground that ‘‘annual sessions ure a heavy draught upon the treasury and offer by their length opportuni- ties for legislation of deubtful utility. They tend elso to cumber the Statute beoks with crude laws, requiring interpretation by the Courts, and often speedy amendment and repeal. The people want clearness and per- manerey inthe law, and are annoyed and perplexed at its obscurity and constant changes.”” There is abundance of testimony also to the advantage of the biennial system to be gathered from the utterances of poli- ticians in the ether Statesin which it is in op- eration. ‘The chief objection to the biennial plan seems to rest in the difficulty of preparing the estimates ef revenue and expenditure with any accuracy, but upen examination that objection will be found to be more apparent than real, because it will come within the seope of the Ministry to adjust the expenditure to the declining revenue and the financial statements by which the course of the Government would be guided and judged, would be made pub- lic at the close ef each fiscal year year as at present. We confess that there are many ether ways of lessening the finaneial charges on the Previncial Government which we weuld prefer to see adopted, and we have referred io this suggested method simply te show that it has been suecessful- ly adepted in the United States and that it has begun te attract some attention in this country. —— .
A Good Way of Loaning Money.
Celeman’s ‘‘ Rural Werld”’ prints the the fellowing from a correspondent who has been leaning his money at abont fifty per cent., in the followixg way: ‘‘I wintered 310 sheep last wiuter witheut losing one. This winter I have 212 sheep all doing well Lfeed corn and bran every day in troughs, and good hay in racks in stables. Now I will tell yon what I have done with $700. 1 bought 400 sheep, and put them out on shares—10 toal00 ina place. They are in good hands and nearly all ewes. I get half the wool and half the lambs. Now 200 fleeces at four pounds to the fleece, at thirty cents to the pound, fetches $1.20, or $240. One hundred lambs are worth $1.25 each, or 8120. Wool and lambs make $365. To have loaned $700 at ten per cent. would bring 870. This is my way of loaning money. I have been at it for years. Can let out all Tam able to buy inthat way. I am bound to have a year’s growth of wool this year.”
August Flower.
The immense sale and great popularity ef Green's August Flower in all towns and vil- lages im the civilized world has caused many imitators to adopt similar names, expecting to reap a harvest for themselves at the expense of the aillicted. This medicine was introduce-
' ed in 1868, and for the cure of Dyspepsia and
Liver Cemplaint, with their effects, sueh as Sour Stomach, Sickheadache, Indigestion, Palpitation of the Heart, vertigo. etc., etc., it never has failed to our knowledge. Three doses will relieve any case of Dyspepsia. Two million bottles sold iast year. Price 75 cents. Samples [0 cents.

Afternoon cotillions, says the London **'Prath,” will be in great vogue this season in royalist drawimg-rooms in Paris. They wili be danced in short costumes and shep- herdess hats ; that is when there are pretty feet and ankles and young faces to be ahewn.
i sate assailants
The New York ‘‘ Herald’) believes that the party connected with the dynamite ex- piosion in the Czar’s Winter Palace are not Nihilists but attaches of the Palace who are trying to compel the Ozar to abdicate in favor of the Czarevitch.
