THE CoLFAx BOND RoBBERY.-It
will be remembered that the trunk of Mr..
Colfax was robbed last winter, in Wash
ington, of bonds. A dispatch to the Phil
adelphia Press from Washington says that
thoroughly reliable gentleman of that city,
who processes to be acquainted with all the
details of the Colfax bond robbery of last
winter, asserted publicly to-day that he
had complete description of all the Sc
curities, the number of the bonds,
their nominal value, &c., taken from
the late Vice-President's trunk, al d
that they amount to nearly one hundred
thousand dollars. lie further states that
the securities had been recovered, and all
but ten thousand dollars of them were re-
turned to Mr.. Colfax. He would not say
whether the latter sum had been retained
by the thieves or whether that amount was
charged by the police for recovering the
stolen property. One of the police commits
sioners was formerly retainer of Colfax,
and even he admits that the amount in the
trunk was nearer one hundred thousand
dollars than fifty thousand.

PERSONAL. HABITS OF THE SHAH OF
PERSIA. DIR. Russell, writing to the
London Times from Berlin, thus alludes
to the personal habits of the Shah Of
Persia q \
1.-THE Shah is, according to European
notions. a savage in many respects
proud, wilfhl, sensual aud arbitrary. If
punctuality be the politeness of princes, ,
as it is said to be, the Shah would, in con-
sequence of his utter indifference to engage
ments, be one Of the most ill-mannered
men in the world. He Kept the parade at
Potsdam, ordered by the Kaiser, waiting a
couple Of hours. lie kept the Queen for
half an hour at the railway station
waiting for him. He would not go
to breakfast when it was an.
nounced at the time Of invitation, but walk
ed about in the garden and then seeing an
arbor which pleased him, desired to have
his breakfast brought there. When he sat
at dinner yesterday he put his fingers in his
plate and ate with them, and if he came on
piece of some dish which he did not like,
he took 1t out of his mouth and threw it
dOwn-not on the ground, but on the
Queens (Empress's) dress. If free from
the more horrid vices attributed to Per-
slams by travellers, he is quite without shame
or scruple in his disregard Of what is called
morality by Christians and good Missul-
mans."

THE ST. LOUIS Democrat says sthe
Congressman of to-day is not half as great
u man in the eyes of his constituents as his
predecessor of twenty years ago was, and
il is not because he knows less than his
predecessor knew, but because his constit-
aents OF to-day know SO much more,
through the newspapers. than the constit-
nents of twenty years ago." The Demo-
crat might also have said that the Congress-
nan of to-day is a much greater man in bis
own eyes, especially when he has been elects
ed for the first time. So that things are
about even after all. 90 M
