 CURIOUS ExHIBETIoN.--On n entering Moe- ana, we were witnesses to rather curious exhibition. should first mention, that the Persians are in the habit of sleeping on flat roofs oftheir houses, during the sum- mer months. Day was just breaking when we arrived. As the houses of the poor are generally not more than eight feet high, we had full view of nearly the whole popu- lation in bed many were asleep some few were awake others were getting out of bed, to make their morning toilettes. The scene was highly entertaining, and brought to mind the story of Le Diable Boiteux, unroofing the houses for the grat- ification of Don Cleofas. Jour- neg from India to England.

 A RUSSIAN AMAZON On dismounting at village near Darkee, my stirrup was held by fair and handsome-looking per- son, who proved to be female. Admira- ton of military life had induced her to deprive herself of her fair tresses, and to wear the dress of a man, preparatory as she said, to offering her services to the Emperor as a soldier. Hearing was on the way, she told me that, if she had been a little older, she e'would have accompanied me. I told her that she would be reject ed, from her feminine appearance; but she said she would cut off her breasts, when eversfhey were too large for conceaIment. On taking leave of this little amazon, I gave her an old aiguillette, which she ac- cepted with great delight, and strutted off with it on her shoulder, to the no small a. mazement of the villagers.-Ibid.
