Wedding Of an Indiau Prince j..

From the Times OF India,
The heir apparent of an Indian
Prince, the Nawab of Joonaghur, was
married in the latter part of Nav. The
Nawab spent very large amount of
money on the entertainment given to
| the European and native guests. As
many as 60,000 visitors hocked to
Joonaghur from the neighboring towns
to witness the spectacle, which is SAID
TO have been even more gorgeous than
that when the Nawab received Sir
Seymour Fitzgerald in 1870, the artific-
nal durbsr hall alone, with it's brilliant
decorations, having cost 90 600 rupees
The wedding procession was two hours
in passing given point. First came
a halt dozen elephants, gorgeously
apparelled in cloths of crimson and
gold, and bearing upon their backs n
fortune IN the shape of magnificent gold
and silver howdahs, curiously and
richly carved. Next came prancing
along the Nawab's fevorite horses.
beautifully caprisoned After these
came along, in unbrokcn succession
for nearly two hours. the friends and
native guests of the Nawab, each batch
being accompanied 10y party of naucth
girls and the unprepossessing looking
tiddling attendants, who gave TO the
otherwise brilliant pageant a grotesque
appearance.
Last of all came the young bride
groom, mounted on a large elephant,
decorated like the others, with the
Nawab behind him comfortably smok
ing his hooka, and who, with the best
possible grace, acknowledged the
cheer with which he was greeted by his
guests i'll the Custom House. With
the passage of the Prince and the we'll
mounted body guard the grand exhibit
ton was brought TO close, and the
European spectators took their depar-
ture. An hour or two after the return
of the guests discharge of cannon
announced the Princes marriage. ON
the following day Capt. Wodehouse, al
the request of the Nawab, laid the
foundation stone OF new high school,
and in the evening the young Prince
married his second wife. Both tn,
Young ladies' whom the he'll apparent

The Law OF Death.
BY JOHN HAY.

d 'OhN HAL
The song Of Kilvapy. The fairest she
In all the land OF Savatthi.
She had one child, az sweet and CAV
And dear to her as the light Of day.
She was so young, and he 40 fair,
The same bright eyes and the same dark hair,
To see them by the blossomy way
They seemed two children at their play.
There came death.dart from the sky.
Kilvany saw her darling die.
The gllmu ering shade his eyes invades,
Out OF his cheek the red bloom fades;
His warm heart feels the icy chill,
The round limbs shudder and are still
And yet Klvany held him fast
Long after lifo's last pulse was past,
AS IL her kisses could restore
The smile gone out forevermore.
But when she saw her child was dead
She scattered ashes on her head,
And seized the small corpse, pale and sweet,
And rushing wildly through The street,
She sobbng fell at Buddha's feet.
Master all helpful help me nowi
Here at thy feet humbly bow;
Have mercy, Buddha help me nowlr
She groyeled on the marble floor,
And kissed the dead child DER and DER.
And suddenly upon the air
There fell the answer TO her prtyer:
Bring me tonight Lotus tied
With thread from house where none has
died"
She rose, and laughed with thankful ioy,
| Sure that the god would save the boy.
She found Lotus by the stream;
She plucked u from its MONDAY dream,
] And then from door to door she Jared,
| To ask what house by death was spared.
! Her heart grew cold 10 see the eyes
| OF all dlate with slow surprise
Kilvany, thou hast lost thy head
| Nothing can help a child that's dead.
| There stands not by the Ganges side
a house where none hath ever died.
| Thus through the long and weary day,
From every door she bore away
Within her heart, and on her arm,
A heavier load, deeper harm.
| BY gates of gold aud ivory,
BY waited huts Of poverty,
The same refrain heard poor Kivany,
The lining are tetc-the dead are many.
The evening came, 80 still and fleet,
And overlook her hurrying feet,
And, heartslck, by the sacred fame
She fell, aud prayed the god again.
She sObbed aud beat her bursting breast
"Ah thou has Knocked me Mightiestl
Lol have wandered far and wide
There stands no house where none hatl
died.
And Buddha answered, in a tone
Soft as flute at twilight blown,
But grand as heaven and strong az death
To him who hears with ears of faith
Child, thou art answered Murmur not
Bow, and accept the common lot"
Kilvauy heard with reverence meet,
And laid her child at Buddha's feet.

The Bird Of Minerva.

A certain owl, relates the Kings
County IL. l. Rural, built her nest in
a tree adjoining the Reformed Church
at tlatlands, and was tenderly caring
for her young brood, when on an I'M
lucky day, few weeks since, some
mischievous boy discovered the nest.
and cruelty robbed it of its young.
The mother owl, being much grieved
thereat, determined to revenge herself
by assaulting the whole community.
She evidently believed that commun-
ity which would permit one of its
members to perform such an outrage
GUS act, and then suffer the offender to
go unpunished, deserved nothing less
than determination, and accordingly
made it her daily practice, at twilight,
to assault every passer-by; and should
she chance to venture into another part
of the town, would there attack the
defenceless residents. Although no
eyes were lost, and no serious damage
done, yet there was no telling what
might happen; and the people began
to be somewhat terrified. School chill
dren seemed to talk only of the fierce
owl, and few dared to venture out in
the evening, lest the owl would deprive
them of their vision. For two long
weeks the reign of terror continued,
until finally some of the brave young
men of the town resolved to take up
arms and kill the dreaded foe. On the
first night Mrs. Owl tainted her enc
mics by darting at their heads at a
lightning speed, indenting their hats
and then hiding amid the dense foliage
of some neighboring tree. But on the
second evening skilful shot, fired by
Mr.. Joshua Stafford, brought her to
the ground, and the community was at
last relieved of its great anxiety.

he must have forgotten il. But now

Mr.. Croly. He says II turned up
the old magazine book, where the en-.
try is made in my fathers hand, in his

THE STAMFORD INCENDIARY.

Young Peabody, the minister's Son,
Again at the Work Of Distractions
Another Chapter On "A sad story.
Hartford Conn. duly 25), Correspondence Of the
Boston Journal.
Some weeks since q sad affair oe.
Cured in the country village of North
Stamford, which resulted in the death
OF the aged pastor of the Congregation
al Church, the arrest of his son for
incendiarism, and the ruin of the peace
of family. The Rev. Mr.. Peabody
had been the pastor of the church for
several years, and was universally es.
teemed as good man and faithful
minister. His advancing years, how
ever, and the approach of that period
when his faculties would begin to grow
dull, led his parishioners think Of
dismissing the old gentleman, and sup.
planting him with a younger and ADLER
man. This fact worked sadly upon the
feelings of Mr.. Peabody, who had a
family, and saw no means of providing
for them II he should lose his parish IN
NORTH Stamford. His son, Charles J.
Peabody, lad of about 10 years, APP
pears to have been deeply affected by
the family trouble, and filed with
spirit of revenge.
One night in June the church wa
discovered to be on fire and was totally
destroyed. Circumstances pointing to
young Peabody as the incepdiary, the
strongest of which was the production
of several anonymous letters, some in
Latin and others in English, worded in
the Ku-Klux style, and threatening all
sorts of vengeance upon several of the
neighbors. The handwriting was
shown to be like that of young Pea.
body's, and he was also the only youth
in town VINO could write the Latin
language. He was tried and bound
over, friend giving bonds. The ut
most sympathy was expressed for the
unfortunate youth and bis family.
Shortly after it was reported that
young Peabody had developed signs of
insanity, aud he was sent to friends in
Topsfeld, Mass. His father, the min
lister, died under his accumulated
troubles, and the ruin of a once happy
family seemed complete. But there is
another startling chapter to the story.
On Wednesday evening last, Peabody
reached Stamford by the 10 o'clock
train, having escaped from Topstield.
He had come seeking revenge. First,
he fired the outbuildings of Deacon
w. w. Davenport. They we're all de-
stroyed, with all the entire crop of hay
of this season and other valuable prop
erty. Next, the barn of Alvan Weed,
a mile distant from the first fire, was
found ablaze, and was also completely
destroyed. Mr.. Weed noticed boy
in the BARNARD trying to escape, and,
securing him, he recognized Charles
Peabody. The boy was the centre of
attention. and some hard words were
used, but no violence was done to him.
He was bound, and the next morning
lodged in Jail. He had his preliminary
trial Thursday, on the charge of arson,
and was recommitted to Jail, no one
giving bonds.
The following paper was found on
his person
