PERSIAN CUSTOMS.

Things.
From tho Eeto York Tribune.
"The Persian people are made Of mixed
races" said ex-MiHister s. 6. w. Benja-
min, as he stood up among his brother al
umni of Williams college last evening.
The members OF the Alumni Association
had gathered in the University Club thea
tire for their second winter meeting, and
Mr. Benjamin was to talk to them about
Persia. Their language, like the Euro
pean languages, is founded on the San
scrit, but it isn't pure Sanscrit any more
than our language is pure Anglo Saxon.
There aremany Turkish and Arabic words
grated on TO it. This ability TO graft on
ideas, TO take pure gold bearing the
stamp Of any mint aud melt 1t down and
work it over for their own uses, is what
keeps the Persian people alive and pro-
gressiye. In this they resemble the Eu-
rOpeans and differ from other Asiatic
races. If the Saracens had possessed
that power they wouldhaye been in Spain
to-day.
ain Persia church and State are practi-
cally one. The Koran is the law Of the
land and OF the family. 1t goes into fam
iiy matters ID the minutest way. lift was
published in New York ten thousand An
thOny COmstOcks would rise to suppress
it. 1t leaves nothing to be supplied by the
imagination and calls a spade spade in
every case. There is great religious toll
GRAFTON in Persia, however, and a man
may believe in any God or no God, or may
announce himself as God, as long as he
acknowledges that MahOmet is his proph-
ct and Obeys the secular laws OF the 10
ran. The people are quick-witted aud
given to poetry and philosophic specula-
tlon more than to the exact sciences. The
executive ability of the rulers is devel-
Oped to high degreeand justice is dis
pensed impartiaiIy, with occasional ex-
cepti0ns OF deSpGtlc cruelty and bribery.
There are % 900 FHeworshippers in Per-
sia, and the sacred flame has burned IN
interruptedly for 1900 years. There is
one good poiBt,aboutthe FirewOrshippers
Fire WITH them is sacred, and therefore
they object to smoking. No greater In
suit can be offered to Parsee gentle
man than to smoke in his presence"
Then Mr.. Benjamin walked over to cor
ner and lit a cigar.

GAmRLERs TO GIVE UP.
Fined Heavily and to be Imprisoned
Unless They Quit.


Ever since last fall. when the City Court
grand jury indicted a number of the sport
ing fraternity for keeping gaming rooms,
the defendants have been lingering in
anxious suspense. When Judge Harden's
Courtwas opened yesterday morning there
were good many sports present. There
was general impression that His Honor
proposed 10 make the day one that the de-
PENDANTS would not soon forget. The
Judge in passing sentence spoke with
much emphasis concerning the evil of the
charge for which the defendants were in
| dicted
Simon Niger, who plead guilty 10 rent
! ing room TO d. II. Campbell, was first
called, and was ordered to pay fine of
$500 and all costs, or in default to be i'm
! prisOned without labor for SIX months.
ID. n. Campbell and 5. j. TitcOmb were
! next sentenced. They were charged with
maintaining gaming rooms, and both
plead guilty. Judge Harden stated that
! he was informed by Solicitor General
duBignOn that these defendants had as
sured him that they will not again engage
in the business in Savannah. Each of
these two was fined $500, or in default
was sentenced to be imprisoned SIX
months without labor. La addition to
this penalty, each was sentenced 10 two
months Imprisonment without labor, but
this last part was suspended until further
order Of the court
William Furlong, =. l.. Strickland. }.
+. Pacetty, and Henry c. Buniz were
sentenced to pay tiUe Of 500 and all
costs, or to be imprisoned without labor
three months. A further penalty Of
one months imprisonment, without
labor, was ordered for each
Of the above four, but this extra
sentence was also suspended until the
further order Of the court. The suspen-
sion OF the sentences involving imprison-
ment, was in consideration Of the under
standing that all of the parties will quit
tue business. 1t Will be held, however,
as Damocles sword, hanging over the
heads OF the defendants, and the moment
the court learns that 3uy OF them have
re-enea2ed in gambling in Savannah, the
Imprisonment clause will be enforced.
Buntz, Pacetty, Strickland and Fur
long were not indicted for running rooms,
out only for gaming. The gamesters
thought that the sentences we're pretty
severe, as they claim that their business
has not been good during the past year.

Nc City Mxtension sonth.

a large number of citizens have visited
the surveyors office to inspect the plan
for the city extension. 1t is understood
that It meets the approval of nearly every
one who has examined it. Quite a num-
Der have expressed a desire to see the
streets laid out az proposed so that they
can secure large lots. A proposition is
now before the City Council which may
solve the question hew to secure the right
0f-way for the streets. 1t is hoped that
the city authorities will agree upon the
plan, and that the streets will be laid out
without further delay, since the unsettled
condition OF affairs prevents the improve
mentof property south OF Anderson street.
The street railroads are considering the
question of extending their lines south
ward and running cars regularly south Of
the old CITY limits.

The German Volunteers.

The number OF young men in the ranks
OF the German Volunteers on the Occa-
sion OF its anniversary parade, few days
since, was pleasing sight to the friends
Of that veteran corps. There is no reason
why the Volunteers should not be the
largest military organization in Savan-
nah. There are several hundred young
Germans and German-Americaus in the
city, every one Of whom would make fine
soldier. II only part should enroll I'M
der the banner beneath the folds Of which
otegtn, Werner and Umbach fought, Capt.
Derst will have battalion in numbers.
The German Volunteers have record as
soldiers and citizens equal to that of any
organization in the State, and any one
should be proud TO be on its roll.

The siiur-shot Nuisance.

The slng-shot or Singer nuisance has
been revived. The boys are now using
heavy buck-shot, and with broad rubber
bands can, at short range, do as efTeotual
work as with a rifle. Several instances
of children having been shot by these
dangerous playthings have been reported
a cOlored boy passing through one of the
squares was seriously hurt by shot fired
by another boy, Acting Mayor DR.. Dun
can has taken the right course to stop the
nuisance by intlIcting heavy fines ON Tia g
culprits when they are caught. Special
Instructions should be given 10 the police
ami men in citizens dress put on duty to
catch boys using singers. A few arrests
aud heavy fine or week in Jail would
have a wholesome effect on parents and
culprits.
