At length the word goes round that
the shah is coming; everybody dis
mounts, and, as the royal carriage
drives up, every Persian bows his head
nearly to the ground, remaining in that
highly respectful attitude until the car
rage hats and the shah summons my
self and the interpreter to his side. /
am the only Ferenghi in the crowd, my
two English companions having ridden
back to the city. The shah's carriage is
drawn by six splendid dapple gray stall
lions, two abreast, each near horse be-
ing ridden by jockeys in tasty liycries
of quiet gray and n gold braid. The
carriage itself is a magnificent English
brougham, upholstered in crimson plush,
the interior being furthermore embell-
ished by much mirror work and a small
unique specimen of a clock.
The shah is the sole occupant Of this
marvellous vehicle; and on this occasion
all those features of regal splendor and
magnificence which We are accustomed
to read of and expect in the costume of
an eastern monarch are conspicuous by
their absence. He is simply dressed in
the ordinary costume of a wealthy Per-
sian nobleman, partly Europeanized; a
Persian head-dress of fine black Astra-
kan lambskin, albaz of rich cashmere
shawl material of fowery pattern, a
pair of broadcloth trousers and patent
leather shoes. His majesty impresses
one as being a much more intelligent
man han the average Of his subjects,
and although they are, as a nation, in
~ordinately inquisitiye.
! have never yet met a Persian who
took a more lively interest," in everything
concerning the bicycle than the shah
seems to take, as through his interpre-
ter he PHYS me with all n Of ques-
tons. Among other questions, he
asked me if the Koords didn't modest
me when coming through Koordistan
u~nguarded; and he seemed greatly
amused upon my relating a certain in
cident in which a small party of these
nomads were held in check by the re-
yolver until reliable ground was
reached, when ! sprang into the saddle
and out-distanced them.

In 1862 said my companion, II was a

Davis always stopped. When II was
known he WIS coming II certain table was

thing before him unless he had company,
and ! want to tell you that his company
was always composed Of men who were
brilliant. This table was always kept
spread when he was at the hotel, for he
was irregular in his hours OF eating. The
cooks were always kept on duty when he
was a guest. There were never less than
n half dozen kinds Of wine on the spread.
There was AN accident ut the Peabody
one day, but no one paid any attention to
1t. Mr.. Davis occupied the seat Of honor.
Gen. Breckenridge-he wasn't II general
then; the governor of Tennessee, whose
name have forgotten, and several others
Of fame were about him. All at once
down came the clustering with n crash.
Every man at the table except Mr.. Davis
jumped to his seat, some kicked their
chairs over in their fright and one ran the
whole length OF the dining-room. Mr..
Davis sat unmoved, and didn't let 20 his

One Of the most curious and puzzling
articles in the extensive museum of New
England antiquities at Deerfeld, Mass,
is an oblong flask with a round hole in
the top just large enough to admit the
small end of a goblet. Many theories
have been advanced as to the purpose
of this article, but it has been proven
that its office was to keep the minister S
glass Of toddy warm while he was
preaching on a Sunday morning. The
fiask-flled with hot water, placed on
the pulpit beside him, and the glass set
into the hole on top-was kept warm
through the long two hours discourse.

MARRIAGE AMONG THE ouAkERs


"r Investigation The fuptiaIs.
brooklyn Magazine.l
Divorces are actually unknown among
the Quakers, and this absence is ac-
counted for by the extraordinary pre-
cautions employed when two Young
persons desire to be united in marriage.
The parties place their proposals Of
marriage in a written form which is re-
ferred to the society of which they are
members, and is first acted upon at a
preparation Meeting" thereof. If all
the attendant circumstances are in every
respect in accordance with the views OF
those present. the proposal is approved,
and is then introduced at the ''monthly
meeting where it is again passed upon
and q committee of investigation into
tho characters, habits and circumstances
of the engaged twain is appointed.
These committees always consist Of two
members of each sex.
Tho Committee, after n most thor
ough examination and investigation,
makes its report, generally at the sue
ceeding monthly meeting. This ends
the preliminary arrangements, aud
the twain are then at liberty to
proceed in the accomplishment OF
their marriage, a committee of
two of each sex being appointed
by the meeting to sec it orderly con
Quoted and the marriage certificate de-
hvered to the recorder. As n rule, the
impressive ceremonies are generally
conducted at the home of the bride, and
occasionally in the meeting houses. "
At the nuptial ceremonies, the certif-
cate of marriage is given to the couple,
which, after receiving their own sigma
lures, is in turn signed by every person
present, and frequently contains 100 or
more ame Engagement or wedding
rings are rarely gwen.
The burial rites of the Quakers are
extremely simple; the friends of the de-
ceased assemble in solemn and impress
sive silence, which may or may not be
broken by SOM minister or other
Friend, who may feel called upon to
offer IA few remarks. The collins or
caskets are generally of plain polishe d
walnut without handles or other orna-
ment. No outward manifestation of
grief of Grape upon the bell of the house
is given by the strict adherents to the
Qaker religion, although these customs
find only a partial following with the
younger and rising generation.
