Introducing Himself.
An English traveller coming to Tabreez, a town near tho boundary between Persia and Georgia, had groat difficulty in finding lodging for the night. A German merchant of the place came to his help with happy result. After a good deal of doubt and delay on the subject, it was finally settled, toward evening, that he should take up his abode with a Nestorian Christian who had been employed as dragoman by several embassies going to Teheran, and who was said to speak English. The traveller was greatly unused by his future host's manner of introducing himself. -*. " You come with me, all right. You know TEe? I Lazarus; find me in 11th John — middle chapter; all missionary gentlemen know me, all right."
