Russia has promised Persia to furnish
the capital for the construction of rail
way from Tiflis to Teheran. It is ssid al
SO that the extension of the line from the
Persian capital to Afghanistan is contem-
plated, and that this is the object of the
mission of General Abramoff to the Emir
Of that country.
Among the notable incidents of the
stagnat1on of the last three years is the
fact that at Brussels not single firm or
company in tn iron trade has failed.
On the contrary. Belgium iron continues
to be sold, and England is being under
sold by Belgium in her own markets, aud
has even had contracts filled in that
country in several instances.
There is project for a new Atlantic
cable, in opposition to the existing mo-
nopoly. 1t is said that syndicate of
French inanciers, among whom is NJ.
Ponyer-Q uertier, has coalesced with some
enterprising and moneyed Americans,
and that a large amount Of the capital is
alread guaranteed. Of course, an appeal
to the public at large will be made. So
far, the idea has been favorably received.
The cereal crop of France is estimated

Mr.. John Forest, conductor on Mite
ropolitan street car in Boston, has been
presented with $25 by Mr.. Richards.
President OF the road, for courage in
eiecting an Indian from his car recently
It seems that half breed Indian entered
his car, and after sitting quietly a few
moments, jumpted up and began to flour
ish large knife in real Indian style. Mr..
Forest took the knife away from him and
elected him from the Car, thereby reliev
ing the passengers from the suspense in
which they were being held. H.
Two vessels recently arrived at Man
zanillo, Mexico, from Germany, with
cargoes of flaming handkerchiefs, cheap
wines, cro':kery, hardware, etc., but no

Implements. The calico, the San Fran.
cisco Chronicle sayes, sold at twenty five
cents the vara: which is three inches less
than one yard; the poorest and worst
adulterated wine for SO a dozen
petroleum for $3.50 can; flour ten cents
a pound; a pound OF nails twenty five
cents;;a felt hat So; the commonest piano

A sad disappointment awaited Mr..
John Bates OF Paterson, New Jersey, re-
Gently, when he went to New York to
meet his wife on an incoming steamer
He waited on the wharf as the passengers
disembarked, expecting every minute to
see her. But she failed to appear. There
were joyful greetings on every side, and
still Mr. Bates waited in vain. Thinking
that his wife might have been detained
on board, he sought the captain Of the
steamer, who, as gently as possible, broke
the sad news that Mrs. Bates r ad been
taken sick, and died when the steamer
was only short distance on her journey
She had been buried at sea. They had
been married but short time, and she
went to England to receive lie gacy left
her by relative.
Emigration from Europe seems to have

of May, when $3.50 SAILED. Nearly the
