Marriage of a Persian Princess.

On the Goth of January, at Teheran.
one of the daughters of the Shah was
married to a priest, by the name of
Imam Jumeh. The bride is said to be
twenty and her husband thirty-tive.
The popular rumoR;n Teheran declares
that the happy paS intensely dislike
one another, but for certain State
reasons have consented TO the union.
The populace are byno means enthusi-
astic about the match, although the
marriage has been celebrated with ex-
traordinary magnifcence, and that they
fully appreciate. The well-known
Persian scholar, Herr S hinder, writes
thus about the wedding 1.-The bride
yelled and covered with what looked
like 4 waving mass of molten gold, was
taken to her husbands house at $50
o'clock; soldiers with candles IN the
muzzles of their guns lined the road;
the walls Of the houses were illuminated
with oil lamps, and as the Princess
left her fathers palace guns were fred
and fireworks let off" Some of these
fireworks, it appears, suddenly explod-
ell, injuring many. With dawn, salvos
Of artillery Numbered out, and shook
Teheran, and day of feasting and ex-
uberence and gayetv followed.

\ Curious Shit.

A case of some interest was termina-
ted IN the Baltimore City Court April
26th. About ten years ago a man named
Andrew O. Green borrowed from Mr..
Thompson $275, and gave two notes, on
which, from 1864 to October, 1872, he
paid interest at the rate of two and a
half per cent. month, taking up the
old notes and renewing by new note
each month. Altogether, by October,
1872, he had paid about 5000, or con
siderably over the original debt and le-
gal interest, and still the notss We're
outstanding against him. Green sued
Thompson and got Judgment, and on
appeal it was carried 10 the City Court
Judge Brown held that the monthly re-
newals were only settlements, and that
the statute of limitations, which was
pleaded, would apply He also held
that Thompson could only recover the
overplus of three years back interest,
and that Green could recover the whole
amount of the notes. The parties I'M
der this decision withdrew their respec-
tiqe claims, and thus considered the
matter settled

Mrs. C0bleigh'S Hot Potato.

Mr.. Cobleigh had Just got down to
breakfast. He was standing up to the
stove with his hands clasped behind
him, as is his custom, contemplating
the attractlvely-S table. A large plat
ter of broiled ham, with fried eggs, was
the central feature, and Mr.. Cobleigh is
very fond of ham and eggs The fami-
ly cat was lying under the table, purring
softly to herself. 1t was strongly
marked domestic scene, and Mr.. Cob
leigh felt his eyes moisten as he sur
veyed it. Mrs Cobleigh was taking up
the potatoes She had the last one pierre
ed with the fork, and was about to de-
positit with the rest, when she espied the
upturued palm of her husbands hand.
What possessed her she cannot tell, but
she dropped the steaming vegetables
straight into his unconscious hand. He
didn't ask her what she was doing; he
didn't even look around; be simply
emitted an awful scream, and sprung
madly into the air. On the descent he
struck the table with his knees with
SUCH force as to completely overturn it,
and with the contents, he went to the
floor with an awful crash. Five dollars
worth of crockery was smashed, and a
car "a"t, and pair of pants were
ruined 10y ham gravy and butter. 1t is
probable Mr.. Cobleigh would have
tainted dead away from the effect
of the shock, had not the cat,
across whose erected back he fell, as
she was darting away from the awful
calamity, turned around and fastened
both claws and teeth into his thigh with
deadly ferocity. That revived him.
The house IS now shut up. Mrs. Cob
leigh is visiting her mother in Brook
field, and Mr.. Cobleigh has taken a
iauut to Boston on business. We I'M
derstand she thinks Mr. Cobleigh is to

DURING the year 1874 the exports of
sugar from Cuba to the United states
were sos $40 tons-over seventy eight
per cent. of the whole amount. SO that
every one hundred tons of sugar de-

eighty tons less to come to this country.

we bless the Cuban cause, we curse the

in the shape of new species Of worm,
which lives and thrives on the grasshop-

though bearing hard on the sufferers

blessing in that it has frozen up the
