Death Sentence in Persia,

Mirza Yussuf Khan, one of the ablest and most popular of the statesmen of Persia, has been executed. Yussuf was educated in Europe at the cost of the Shah, and studied for some time in Paris. On his return he brought with him extracts from French law books which he translated into Persian and embodied in code of laws adapted for use in his own country. During a famine the Shah directed Yussuf to go to Astrakhan to purchase provisions for his starving subjects, at the same time supplying him with considerable sum of money out of the public treasury for that purpose. Yussuf went to Astrak- han, but he only spent a portion of the sum entrusted to him in the purchase of provisions, and kept sixteen thousand tomauns for himself, thereby causing the deaths of thousands of people whom the money might have provided with food. When the Shah returned from his tour in Europe, he at once ordered an inquiry into Yussuf's conduct, and, his guilt having been clearly proven, sentenced him to death,

From Grave to Gay.

Thus speaks St. Louis paper: There is popular, but decidedly erroneous impression that the paths of Jenkins are paved with roses and orange blos- soms; that he wanders through the pleasant fields of society, and that his ways are pleasant and his lines cast in delightful places; that his life is silk woven and feece-lined; that his whole existence is roseate and perfumed. Read this note, laid upon my table on Thursday:
 "Go to Pinckneyville on morning train to hanging of two negroes. Hang them both in a column and half. Re- turn on evening train, and report at the office in party dress at 9 P. M. for Jen- kins duty. J. B. McC."
 Reflect, oh yeswhose feet are clad with kid. From the home circle to an execution. From the gayest scene that fancy can paint to the saddest human eyes can know. From the rustic of satin to the muttered prayer of the con- demned wretch. From the flashing of diamonds to the sudden glare of eyes looking for the last time upon the earth. From the swell of music to the thud of the executioner's ax upon the cord. From the graceful movements oi dancers to. the spasmodic contractions of strangling human. From life, with all that makes it's worth, to death the most horrible that mans ingenuity can devise.

A Brutal ChariYari.
The Bay City (Mich.) Chronicle of a

The Bay City (Mich.) Chronicle of a recent date says:
 "The ceremony known commo- 7 by i the name of 'shiveree' is, fortunately, of rare occurrence among our people, and every new instance of it's observ- ance adds greatly to the general aver sion and condemnation of it. A most efficient help to it's entire abolishment in this way is furnished just now by 8 charivari which occurred few nights since in Beaver township. It is the most outrageous affair that has dis graced community in this section for many year.
 "The charivari party went to the house of Mir. Perry, who had lately married 8 widow with several small children. The visitors were armed with guns, as we'll as the usual implements and instruments of such expeditions. They began firing before reaching the house, and so frightened Mrs. Perry that she ran out of the house and es- capped to her fathers. The husband re- mained with the little children, and was soon beset by the rufians. They threw stove-wood through the windows of the house, broke up articles inside, tore | bed-clothes and curtains, and set fire to the house in two places. Then they surrounded MT. Perry, and while one of them presented shotgun at his breast, they demanded that he should make a contribution of five dollars for the further entertainmento of the gang as the price of peace. Perry refused compli- ance with the demand, and the out rages again began at once. The chil- dren were at last put into closet for safety, while Perry busied himself in protecting his home from fire. The assailants emptied the hen-house, threw the fowls into the dwelling through the windows. Every outrage which could be devised seems to have been perpe- trated by the fellows before they de- camped.
 "A complaint was made before Jus tice of this city, and warrant was is- sued for number of the attacking party. The warrant was given to the Sheriff to serve." '.tE

Advertisers who Ask for Credit.

Advertising, unlike other merchap- disc, is presumed to cost nothing. Space in newspaper is perishable commodity. In many cases it is worse than valueless. If not used for adver- tising it must be filled with reading matter at cost for composition.
 These reasons cause publishers to sell advertising space where they would not think of trusting for job printing, or any other article representing cost in actual money. " - X.
 This is the reason why Irresponsible advertising agencies so readily get credit for large sums. There are six thousand papers published in the Union. A man believed to be worth @ thousand dollars is readily trusted for his wants in the way of advertising space. He may get credit on the books of three thousand publishers for quar- ter of a million without owing any in dividual as much as two hundred dol lars.
 However true it may be that advertis- ing space costs nothing, no publisher doing business on that principle has ever made money. ...... .H
 Within the past ten years American publishers have lost, in bad debts, up wards of million by advertisers from New York city, no one of whom could buy hundred dollars worth of mer- chandise without planking down the cash before delivery. Advertisers who cannot give responsible security are de- barred from contracting with responsl- ble advertising agencies; they therefore apply to publishers direct. If every one accepts a fifty-dollar contract, three hundred thousand dollars worth of advertising is obtained on credit. Pro- vided only one publisher in ten accepts, the amount is thirty thousand dollars. If the business is & success, the adver- tising bills are paid wholly or in part with a greater or lesser degree of promptness, according to circumstances. If the business is failure, no one is paid, and there the matter ends.
 If there were no responsible adver- tisers-if all advertising was done on this principle-possibly no one would be wronged. Publishers would thus become the partners of their advertisers and share in their risks and profits. The case being otherwise, responsible advertisers, who can be made to pay, are compelled to compete with those who cannot. ... U.g.
 The moral is easy to be seen. A pub fisher owes 1t to himself and to his cus- toners who pay that he make himself sure of his money before he contracts to render 8 service in his advertising columns.-NeaUSoaaoer Reporter.

Mysteries of the Shawl Trade.

Before leaving this subject, says a Paris correspondents, I must relate 8 curious discovery made on this occa- sion. M. Guyetaut took me to see one of his first artists, who works at home. In the front room of a modest apart ment was the intelligent artist working at his lathe, and in the back room was his wife working upon an India shawl. A fine cashmere, worth 4, GOO francs, or, perhaps, $1, 900 in New York, was cut into strings, or figures, and on glancing at it I could not help crying: "Ah !! get so badly damaged ? Was it eaten by the rats ?" M. Guyetaut laughed, and said: "Oh! Monsieur, it is not damaged at all. I am rearranging it. Y" Probably my lady readers will be as much surprised as I was to find that these costly shawls are purposely cut in pieces and then sewn together again. Tho philosophy of it is this: Some years the fashion is for white figures, running about in scrolls as in all cash meres, and sometimes for black. Hence the shawls with white ground figures are cut when black sell best, and the black cuttings sewn in. Sometimes, when lot Of shaWls have been for many years on hand, the disposition of the figures are changed in order to suit the prevailing taste. Now, the work was done so we'll that I could not dis tinguish the seams, but it seems to me that if I were to buy a shawl worth a thousand dollars, I should greatly pre- fer to have it as it came from the Indian loom. I was told that hundreds of these rearranged shawls are annually sold to American ladies at very large prices, and if those who have them find that they come in pieces they will un- derstand the reason. They have only to send the shawl to some racconenao- deuse, like the person of whom I write, and the work will be elegantly done again. This industrious artist and his no less industrious wife earn very handsome living from their common labor.

The Age of Trees.

It is we'll known that the yearly layers or rings by which the age of tree is determined do not diminish in relative thickness by constant law. A paper was recently read before the French Academy of Sciences in which the causes of this irregularity were dis cussed. The writer concluded that the data of meteorological phenomena, when known and tabulated, might be com pared year by year with the annual layers formed in different varieties of trees. From such comparison some ideas as to the laws of development of trees may be obtained, and these laws being established, trees might become collections of meteorological evidence where observations can not be made. An exchange suggests rather striking example of what might be learned from ancient trees: .........- ...s.
 Suppose that there should be found in Egypt a very old though living tree, the origin of which dated back to the time of Joseph. If on cutting the trunk the rings corresponding to that period showed seven thick and seven thin lay CTS, there would be tangible evidence of the Scriptural tradition of the seven years of plenty and seven years of fam inc, besides of the immediate causes of humidity, temperature, etc., to which such phenomena might be due"
 Viewing trees in this light, they may indeed become historians of the past.
