THE rsasi..!.:(.nzw 91 THE. AD7ANCI.:.

When the last mail left Teheran (writes the Vienna
correspondent of the retegrapa), the Russian Minister
had just returned from his mysterious excursion on the
borders of the Caspian Sea. Ilia Excellency's journey
was closely connected with the Russian expedition on
the Attrek, and it appears that the incoherent account
be himseU gives of his prolonged absence greatly tends
to excite suspicion in the Persian-itid There it is
firmly believed that the Rumen expenditure is advancing
with the sole object of capturing Itese, and in the best
informed circles of Teheran surprise is manifested that
It should be allowed to do so without the slightest inter-
ference on the part of British diplomacy. The Russian
version of the expedition, namely, that It is simply
marching against the Turcomans, is regarded he the
Shah's domiMons as a hoax, by which the wily Persians
are not furs moment deceived.—(Nor would any English-
man be deceived, but those who sympathise with
Imperialism anywhere.—Eo.]

Ilisitors' Wives—There certainly were some strong
effort,s made in the last century to get the wives of the
Lord Bishops "my lady "-ad, but the tone of Article
XXXII. was bo strong for the movers, and the
nUeutpt deser, ally failed. As to " bishops' ladies," I
have always heard the story in connexion with Mrs.
Whately. Shortly after the archbishop's appointment
1., Dublin, she was shomin,q at • silk-mercer's and
desired a quantity of goo& to be sent for approval to
her house. The mercer objected. The lady asked,
" 1/. you know who! am I " He answered,
_" No, I
In not. "I am the arehhishop's lady." "Madam,"
rejoined the trader. "I could not if you were the
archbishop's wife." The mercer was evidently
disbeliever or CathOliC. —Nam HCRST.--fSay, rather,
a Christian who had read his New Testament.—Ed]
