A Russian Noble’s Three Bobbins.

It will be remembered that the submission of the Merv Turcomans was gained by help of the famous Moscow merchant Kouschine, who sent his socalled trading caravan into Merv in charge of Alikhanoff and other officers in disguise. For the great services then rendered this pioneer of Kussian conquests in Central Asia has been rewarded with a patent of hereditary nobility. His firm is well known for its manufacture of cheap and highly colored cotton prints for the Asiatic market, and the arms now granted to him and his descendants display three bobbins, indicating the means of his elevation to rank and fortune. Precisely the same caravan tricks, lam assured, are now tried in Afghan Turkestan and by exactly the same persons. This Moscow house is full of enterprise, and being backed by the Government, with privileges over the Transcaspian Railway and elsewhere, of course sticks at nothing. Last February its politico-com-mercial caravans introduced Moscow goods into the bazars of Herat under our very eyes. —London Times.
