AQaeer interruption to a Marriage.

An American recently solved q myster V
which had confused and amazed a weddin Q
party in Rome. The bride was the daughter
OF one of the most noble marquses Of old or
modern Rome, and the groom was the scion
OF another noble house. When the wedding
contract had been signed the groom took the
hand Of his young wife In his own and kissed
its fingers. She smiled at this, and allowed
her hand to rest where he had placed it. But
In moment, to the dismay of the company,
voice was heard, as from her lips, saying !:
impairment how dare you touch my hand?
Be off, fool Still she smiled as before and
her lover gazed upon her face in dismay. Sud-
denly she seemed to laugh, and it was a
dry and ironical laugh that startled people
more than the words they had heard before
Has the girl gone mad|' some one asked
She tainted, and her friends gathered closely
around the sofa on which she had fallen. At
this moment young American described as
"of great learning, but generally very taciturn
and almost timid in manner offered to ex-
anime into the cause of the strange occur
rences, and approached the sofa Casting his
eyes on and around the sofa and then about
the room, he proceeded to crawl along the
floor on his hands and knees until he came to
q large ottoman. Behind this he found a
young servant who had been dismissed from
the house that morning, and went away de-
claring that she would be revenged By some
means she had found her way into the parlor
and concealed herself behind the ottoman.
Being ventriloquist, she was able there to
speak In a tone OF voice which was naturally
to the bride.

The baggage Of an Indian army has always

force the order, and the officers, taking a wide
view of what constituted efficiency set out
Tor the conquest OF AfghaEistan, not only
with large stock of cheroots and beer, but
also taking a liberal supply of jams, pickles,
hermetieally sealed provisions, with the
needful accomplishments Of wax candles, plate
and linen. However, before the foot OF the
Bolan Pass was reached provisions began to
get scarce, and "there was not drop OF beer
in camp" The greater part of the camels at
tached to the army died in going through the
pass, the only beverage available for man or
beast during the passage being brackisb
water, and but little of that; and the unop-
posed army Of the Indus emerged at the TOP

and restitution as might have been presented

AN EASTERN PRINCE.
Career of Yacnb hey, Governor or Her.

The career OF the young Governor Of Herat
the unfortunate 1acub Khan, is full Of inter-
est. Our dispatches announced his release
yesterday by his father. When Shere Ali
was struggling with a combination OF half
brothers and nephews on his accession to the
throne, when the British We're standing aloof
and the Russians were in sympathy with his
foes, when he had been defeated at all quar-
tiers, his son Yacub came to his assistance.
and by a series of movements which dis,
played the very highest order of military ge-
MUS, overthrow the armies opposed and com
pletely crushed all opposition and sent the al
most successful opponent Of his father flying
a fugitive to Russian territory His bold
strategy. rapid organization, skllful COM
mand OF all his resources and shrewd tactics,
displayed the general, and his wise diplomacy
showed him to be an enlightened statesman.
He succeeded in obtaining the recognition of
England for his fathers rule, and firmly
established his power in Cabul, and then re-
tired to his town and province of Herat Sub

The Paris Gdulois,'i in giving account of the
seventeen duels and other achievements of
Paul de Cassagnac, relates this of his en-
counter with Arelier Scholl: The highroad to
st. Dennis was the spot selected, 2 o'clock in
the afternoon the time. crowd quickly as
sembled, and the combatants were about to
commence when q gendarme made his ap-
pearance. However, instead of making an
arrest, the executive officer drew his sword
and addressing himself to the spectators
cried, Hats off gentlemen When there Is
lighting In France, one uncovers." Poor
Scholl received a terrible wound, but he is
still alive and well, on excellent terms with
his old adversary, and editor of the Voltaire.
nj. De Cassagnac then fought Henri Roche
fort, and afterwards his own cousin, LISA
gary. who did all he could to kill the Impe-
rlalst champion. After having been touched
four times In the face. Lissagary lost his
head, and flung himself on the sword of his
adversary. He had hardly recovered when he
again challenged M. Paul dc Cassagnac, who
refused second meeting In the following
terms: "Since | fought with you, and left
you riddled like a strainer, in the garden at
NeStnet, have reflected that 1t is sufficient to
have been your adversary, and that it Is use
less to become your chdrcMier pork butcher"
Victor NOir, who was afterwards shot down
by Prince Pierre Bonaparte challenged NJ
Paul de Cassagnac, who, having the choice OF
weapons, selected photography, In which his
opponent was deficient.

An Afghan Beauty.
Whitehall ReyieW.l

The blue-black hair is plastered down stiff
with gums in various forms on the head, and
from the roots behind plated into numerous
long tails, hanging over the shoulders and
back. The outer margin OF the ears, all round,
Is pierced and decorated with rows of small
silver rings, larger ones hanging from the
lobes. The neck and breast are tattoed and
dotted all over with little figures Of stars and
flowers. The 1ustrous black of the eyes is
further enhanced by. loading the lids with
soorma, or black anthony. The cheeks are
rouged and picked out with little round moles
gold and silver tinsel fixed on with gum. A
loose yellow, blue or red jacket of muslin or
silk, hanging below the waist, and bahamas,
or wide trousers, Of silk or other colored
material, form the indoor costume On going
out, leggings OF cotton cloth, gathered at the
knee, walking shoes Of red or yellow leather
and the indispensable boorkaposh are added
A lady of the Kuzzilbash tribe is sometimes
distinguished with the further addition of a

and rights of his older son, appointed young
son, Abdallah Jan, his successor, when Yacub
rebelled and entered the field with every pros
pect OF success. The British government in
India composed the troubles II, Afghanistan
| and had Yacub confirmed as governor Of
Herat. few months ago, trusting to safe
conduct from his father, Yacub went to Cabul,
and was at once seized and cast into prison,
and, 1t is said, was cruelty deprived of his
sight, after the Oriental custom. About two
months ago the young Abdallah died. and 1t
was rumored that the British government
would attempt to have Yacub recognized as
Shere Ais successor, but Russia obtained
footing at the court and British influence was
no longer potent. The rapid march Of the
British armies, the success of the invaders,
has brought the old Ameer to his senses, and
he turns again, in defeat, to the son who
established his power, upon hearing Of the fall
Of Ali Musiid. Yacub is held by all Western
diplomats, who have been at his court, TO be
the ~nost civilized, polished and wise Of all
Eastern princes. His skill as commander,
with his popularity and ability In organza
tion may yet, II his father has not deprived
him Of sight and power, give the British
trouble In their advance.
