the short sojourn of the Shah of Persia IN Mos
COW was marked by striking change in his ar
rangements, for his Majesty, while in that city
came to the determination to send back to Iehe-
ran the four or five Persian ladies who had trav-
eled so far in his household. 1t is stated that
during the journey from Astrakhan to Moscow
the Shah was much occupied with the question
of the proper accommodation of these ladies,
who Travelled under the title OF servants. His
Majesty telegraphed to Moscow more than once
upon the subject and on learning that apart
ment in the palace had been prepared for him
tho Shah suddenly decided ON their being placed
IN a country house near Moscow. The ladies not
relishing this isolation sent q messenger to the
Shah complaining that they were not comforta-
bly, lodged. His Majesty was displeased with
his Ministers, and directed that the ladies' should
come to the palace, where he waited till after
their arrival before ne proceeded to the theatre
1t appears that his fayorite wife wished to go
also to the theatre. but the Shah would not per-
init it.. On the next evening after his Majesty s
second visit to the ballet and to the ball at the
hotel OF Prince Dogoroukot, it is said that the
ladies' were lOud in their complaints, probably
because being in Europe they expected to be al
lowed In some sort to follow European fashions.
However. the Shah determined 10 send them
back and despite their tears and protostations,
ne adhered to his determination 10 that few
hours before his Majesty left Moscow the ladies'

Editor N. Y. DAILY BuLLETIE:
A. Comstock issues his check TO Jos. Perkins
for $500 on Twelfth Natioual Bank. Perkins
presents the check for payment and is refused,
because Comstock has only $500 balance in
bank Perkins offers to deposit $500 to the
credit OF Oomstock, provided the bank will then
pay him the check for the full sum of $500.
Has the bank right TO do this? p. d. II.
ANSWER The Bank cannot credit to Com
stocks account any money without his author
zation it acts as his trustee and agent, and,
according to all law and usage, can do no acte
on his account or behalf except through his per-
mission or order. The bank might receive from
Perkins the 5000 as a stimulated indemnity to it.
