A RUNAWAY BRIDEGROOM.—The day before 3,es-
terday, as Galignani, some police agents stationed them-
selves at the terminus of the Strasburg Railway, and on the
train arriving arrested a young man who came by it, and
who was about to proceed to Havre to embark for America.
He at first remonstrated, but on being shown a formal
order, he accompanied the agents quietly to the Prefecture.
The motive of his arrest is as fellows :—lle had demanded
in marriage • young girl in the neighbourhood of Baden,
and his offer was accepted. Having gone through all the
usual formalities by means of forged papers, the father of
the intended bride on the evening previous to the day flied
on for the ceremony handed over to the suitor the lady's
dowry, which consisted of • good round sum in gold and
silver. Immediately, on receiving the money, the young
man decamped by the railway for Paris, but was stopped
as above stated through the agency of that powerful auxi-
liary to the police, the electric telegraph. lie had in his
possession, when arrested, all the money which he had re-
ceived, with the exception of what he had paid for his
ourney. He was sent back in custody to Baden.
PROGRESS OF TILE CIIOi.ERA.—In the last sitting
of the Academy of Medicine, Professor Jules Cloquet com-
municated a letter which he had received from 'Teheran,
from his nephew, who is physician to the Shah of Persia,
in which he gives seine interesting details on the subject of
the cholera. He says : Wo arc threatened with cholera
this spring, and I am obliged to do the honours of the
country to this disagreeable visitor. The malady in this
instance follows a progress quite unusual. It broke out at
Bussorah in 18.51 ; it has already come up the course ofthe
Tigris as far as Bagdad ; from Bagdad, in crossing the
Kurdistan it directed its course towards the province of
Axerbaidjan. After having ravaged that country, and
particularly Tauris, the capital of it, it proceeds to the
south and south-cast, following the borders of the Caspian
Sea, and it is stated that it has made its appearance at
Cashin, which is only 22 league, from Teheran. According
to this itinerary it is not probable that on this occasion it
will direct its course towards Europe, and there is every
reason to hope that after having levied its quota on Persia,
the malady will proceed to India, its native country, which
it ought never to have quitted."
