The Shah's Gifts.

Before leaving England the Shah
made some costly presents to several
members of the royal family and the
nobility. To the Queen he gave set
of very rare and valuable jewels, to the
Prince Of Wales his photograph set IN
diamonds, and to the Duke OF Cam
bridge, as Commander-in-Chief OF the
Army, he presented an elegant sword,
saying that she reioiced to place the
sword of Persia in the hand of England. )"
A photograph set in diamonds was also
offered to Earl Granville, who extracted
the picture, pressed it to his heart, and
returning the diamonds, explained to
the Shah that much as he thanked him
his position as an English Minister for
bade his receiving present from for,
eipn monarch. Lady Rawlinson and
the Duchess OF Sutherland also received
presents of diamonds from the Shah,
who, at the same time, presented Lord
Morley with a valuable snuff-box set
with Jewels: He gave $40, 600 to the
servants at Buckingham Palace, and
5000 to the police of London.

A Michigan Lumberman.

A paragraph in recent Michigan pa
per has elected from the Pantiac Ga
zette the following respecting the landed
wealth of citizen of that State CDR.
David Wards great wealth rests in his
immense amount of cork pine lands in
Michigan and Wisconsin, amounting to-
over $50, 900 acres, every forty of which
he has been over himself, making q
careful estimate of the number and di-
mensions of the trees, and noting all
the characteristics of soil. His land
was nearly all selected from close OBJ
servation years before most people had
an idea of their ultimate value, and the
very best taken location upon streams
and facilities for running the timber to
market were carefully considered, 80
that to-day he owns the finest tracts OF
really available and valuable cork pine
in the United States, and the most OF
it. His pine lands may be summarized
as follows: On the Saginaw, 1000
acres on the Manistee and Au Sauble,
10000 acres; on the Chippewa, in Wis.
consin, 10000 acres. Total, 10000
acres. In addition he owns 10000
acres of the very best hardwood tim.
bered lands for farming in the central
and northern part Of the State, besides
all his valuable property in Oakland
County, and 100000 feet of logs
aAoat. Placing the same valuation
upon his pine lands alone, as other per-
sons are selling detached tracts in the
vicinity of his, and it aggregates the
sum of Sc, 500, 900, and We may here say
that that amount of greenbacks stacked
up would not obtain the deeds OF his
pine property alone. The difference in
pine land is very great, as between cork
and other qualities, and acre by acre
the cork nets more than three times as
much as any other variety" In Wis
consin fully dozen lumbermen boast
that if their pine lands were laid out
into strips q mile wide they would
reach across the State, or over two hun
dred miles IN length.

Perils Of BallOOning.

The late Prof. La Mountain was q
brother of the La Mountain who with
Wise made the longest aerial voyage on
record, which was from st. Louis, Mo-,
to the eastern part of the State of New
York. La Mountain has been making
asceneions for the last eighteen years
was connected with the signal service
during the war has made between one
and two hundred ascensions-all except
the two last with gas for imitation.
In the fall of 1870 he came very near
losing his life at Bay City, Michigan.
Having made an altitude of nearly three
miles in a dense fog, and getting COM
pletely chilled, he endeavored to de-
scend, but found to his horror that the
escape valve would not yield, having
frozen to its surroundings. Pulling
with all his strength, the rope parted
above his reach. He then concluded to
ascend the ropes from the basket to the
canvas and cut it with his knife, but on
searching his pockets he found to his
dismay that he had left it on the ground
at starting. Nothing daunted, he
climbed the icy, slippery ropes with
his freezing hands, and on reaching the
canvas tore with his teeth rents sufi-
cient to let the balloon descend. On
nearing the ground, the wind mean
while carrying him rapidly toward tbs
lake, he found himself over thick
forest of pines, but was powerless to
stop his descent. The basket striking
a tall tree, he was hurled, bruised,
bleeding, and senseless, to the ground,
but after some hours revived sufficiently
to crawl to the nearest farm house,
where he got assistance.
His balloon at Ionia, where the fatal
accident happened short time since,
was made of cotton cloth, filed with
oil was old and rotten from repeated
heatings, but was by him considered
safe. He made a successful start but
when some six or seven hundred feet
from the earth the balloon collapsed
from rent in one side, and fell rapidly.
He detached himself from the basket
when about one hundred feet from the
earth, and struck squarely on his feet,
breaking the left leg in three places and
the right in two. No other bones were
broken, and there were but few bruises.
His death was caused by concussion OF
the brain.

THE MAKENz1E RAID. Apriyate let
ter received by U. s. Government Of
fcer, from a prominent American in
Mexico, states that the Mexican Govern
ment has no desire to assume an aggres-
sive position toward the United States,
on account of the Mackenzie raid over
the Rio Grande, and it is not feared
that any efforts at retaliation or diplo-
matio complications will be the result.
The truth is, the Me1icans are dealing
with that question very tenderly, and
the punishment Mackenzie inflicted on
the treacherous thieves engaged in dep
relations on the Rio Grande, is not re,
garded as so much OF an offense against
international law rs some would have
it appear.

Love hY Wire.

The report of Mr.. Scudamore, the
Director of Postal Telegraphs in Great
Britain, contains a romance of the most
original description. After saying how
successful he found the system OF en-
ploying male and female clerks to-
gether, and how much the tone OF the
men has been raised by the association,
and how well the women perform the
checking or fault-fnding branches OF
the work, he goes on to speak OF friend
ships formed between clerks ut either
end of the telegraph wire. They begin
by chatting in the intervals OF their
work. and very soon become fast friends.
"It is a fact" continues Mr.. Scuba
more, "that telegraph clerk in Lon
don, who was engaged on wire in Ber,
lin. formed an acquaintance with and
an attachment for mark the official
style of the language female clerk
who worked on the same wire in Berlin;
that he made proposal OF marriage to
her, and that she accepted him without
ever having seen him. They were mar.
ried, and the marriage, which resulted
from the electric affinities, is supposed
to have turned out as we'll as those in
which the senses are more apparently
concerned" Nor must the pruduent
reader run away with the idea that
these young personsswere very rash OF
that they married without due acquain.
tance. For it is fact that clerk al
one end of wire can readily tell by the
way in which the clerk at the other end
does his work whether he is passion
ate or sulky, cheerful or dull, sanguine
or phlegmatic, ill-natured or good-na'

TIE MINNESOTA WHEAT CRoP.-The
Farmers Union, the agricultural organ
of the State OF Minnesota, says: "Com.
mencement has been made on the great
wheat harvest Of Minnesota for l873,
and most bountiful harvest is prom
ised. From a careful estimate we think
the State can export this year SO, ,OO0, 600
bushels of wheat, provided we have our
usual good weather during harvest, and
provided further the crop escapes
worms and is secured" The Union
iurther advises farmers to market their
wheat as soon as possible for fear OF
still lower prices.

A Confession.

Imet her on the cars to-day
I've often met her there before.
She has an arch, enchanting way
Which women envy, men adore.
She is not young-no more am I!
Indeed, my beard is white as SHOWS
But Time has slyly passed her by,
Nor left win kle on her brow.
Her eyes are blue as heavens blue;
Her forehead with the lily vies;
Her cheeks have caught the roses hue,
Her hair the sunsets golden dyes.
We meet and chat, and when we part
Perhaps we kiss, but neither tells
And then for hours within my heart
There's music sweet as Ginning bells.
Our talks not of Indifferent things
OF books and pictures, birds and flowers
But things akin to wedding-rings,
OF boys and business, girls and dowers.
Indeed, it lie most grave and staid,
As doth become our time Of life;
For we are passing into shade,
And I'm her husband, she's my wife.
