HIS MEETING WITH LORD DUFFERIN
Is 1885 when he raet Lord and Lady Dafterin he brought with him his Chief Exécutioner, a gentleman in red velvet, girt with are and strangling sword. But Lady Dufferin wrote: "I must tell you ons nice, gentlo, little trait' in the Ameur's character. He spent three hours yesterday morning arranging out fowers in forty vases, and he expressed a wish to bare large supplies sent hine daily."
Whon at the State Dinner Lord Dufferin
proposed his health, the Ameer surprised everyone by getting up, and making an azeel- lent speech. At the great Durbar two days later the Ameer, mado a short speech in Persian. An amusing incident is zecorded by Lady Dufferin. Among the presents for the Amcer was a mechanical singing bird, which mobow or other began a performance inst as the Amoor was spanking. But the intor ruption in no way affnsted Abdur Rahman's oratory, and his remarks were roosired with great onthusiasm,

The Russia Governor of Turkestan or some other officer sent him a message saying that it was his intention to exercise z force of some five hundred men, cavalry and infantry, at a point near the Afghan frontier, and expressing hope that the Ameer would not misinterpret this proeaeding, which had a purely pacific intent, as a hostilo demonstration. There was nothing, he said, to be the least alarmed at.

Pindi in 1985 one of the photographers placed MESSRS. KELLY & WALSH, LD. his camera in position to take a photograph of MESSES. W. BREWER & CO. the ruler of Afghanistan. One of the highest Afghan Court officials thereupon rushed up to it and placed both his lambs over the lens.
Why do you do that?" asked the Amer. "Oh, your Royal Highness." was the reply. "This is one of the new-fashioned guns that this man is aiming at yen."
The Ameer laughed and said "Ob, Rish Safed (grey-beard), whose heart is dark with ignorauca, leave the men alone to take my photograph.”
The Ameur adds, in his book, that thongh he tried hard to explain the camera to his official, he had to give it up at last.

"The road," he says, "ran along a few yards above the water. There was a natural bridge of rook, over which the rout ran, and just beyond a waterfall of some depth, where, at the bottom of the fall, the water rushed nuder as arch of rook and was lost to sight.
