WANTED TO BUY HER.
How the Shah Intended to Get Poss essior
of Mrs. John Mackay.

How the Shah Intended to Get Possession
of Mrs John Mackay.
The Shah of Persia would like to buy
Mrs. John w. Mackay. At least so
runs the story at Newport The offer
was made at a ball given in honor of
his Persian Highness at one of the
Ambassadorial houses in London.
Mrs. Mackay was there with all the
rest of the swell world.
His heathen highness is no beauty
and his manners are scarcely fascinat-
ing. Nevertheless he is a representa-
tive OF the principle of royalty, and
royal British matrons. with feeling
of devotion always for Kingship, were
always throwing themselves in his
way and hoping that he might fatter
them with some little notice. But he
didn't. A brutal candor is one Of his
characteristics. and there was nothing
in the appearance of the women to
win his attention. When. however,
his eye fell on Mrs. Mackay he said
something in his own tongue to the
Persian Minister, a gentlemanly little
man, who has lived in London several
years and is very much liked. Mrs
Mackay saw that the little diplomatic
actually blushed. She was IN for
lark.
What does the King say?" she
asked.
The diplomatic avoided an answer.
The Shah grumbled out some new
command.
Come" said Mrs. Mackay, "what
Is it9"
We'll" replied the Minister, ''his
Majesty wishes to buy YOU"
''Oh, dear me-" cried Mrs. Mackay,
1aughing,y, "tell him l am not for
sale"
The diplomatic did so. A shade of
disappointment passed over the royal
.countenance and the diplomatic re-
sceived another command.
Tell him." replied Mrs. Mackay,
-'that the lady Is too rich.
The Minister translated the answer.
His royal master. with a grunt of dis
gust. gave them both a scowl and
abruptly left them.-Cor. Pittsburgh

A CURIOUS INDUSTRY.

How Leec!les Are Bred on farm De-
voted to Their Culture.
There is curious branch of indus
try followed by certain inhabitants OF
the great marsh lands in the neighbor-
hood OF Bordeaux, France.
Some years ago farmer OF the dis
trict observed that the leeches native
to these marshes attained to great
size in places where many cattle
were turned out to pasture, and
more particularly where horses form
the principal stock. This suggested
to him the idea OF making leech
culture a speciality. He had some
small capital, and this he was shrewd
enough to turn to the best advantage.
In the first place, he rented tract OF
marsh, which he divided off into
square ponds, surrounded with rail-
ings. The water in these ponds is
about fifteen inches deep, and the mud
at the bottom OF them affords winter
quarters for myriads of leeches, which,
when the warm sun of spring arouses
them from their winter lethargy. come
up to the surface very lively, and anx-
ious for a gorge upon their natural
aliment, blood.
To supply this the leech cultivator
invested a portion of his capital in a
drove of old horses, which were
bought up by him at an average price
of about twenty francs per head. No
sooner were these wretched victims
driven into the ponds than they were
fastened upon by the leeches, whose
vOrscious instincts were aroused the
moment the water became agitated.
Instances are not infrequent of horses
becoming SO exhausted by these in
satiable blood-suckers as to sink down
into the water, where they are some
times suffocated before assistance can
come to hand.
The process Of catching leeches is a
very simple one 1t is mostly carried
on by young girls and lads. who, dur
ing the summer season, enter the
ponds, wearing long, waterproof boots
of thick leather, and furnished. each
of them. with sort of camp-stool
and canvas bag. Seating them.
selves in the ponds, they disturb the
water with their feet, and Immediate
ly the leeches, imagining that horses
have plunged into the ponds, swarm
around the leech-fshers and fasten
greedily upon their boots Selecting
the best-grown leeches, the fishers
now pick them of, and put them into
their bags; and in this way many
thousands are taken by them in the
course of a few hours. The leeches
are then carried home, and having
been culled and sorted according to
size. are placed in tubs filled with
soft. moist clay. into which they i'm
mediately burrow. The tubs are then
tightly covered with strong, porous
canvas, and in this state the leeches
are taken to market.-N. Y. Ledger

WORSE THAN A FAILURE.

A bachelor, old and cranky,
Was sitting alone in his room;
His toes with the gout were aching,
And his face was o'erspread with gloom
No little ones shouts disturbed him,
From noises the house was free;
In fact from the attic to cellar
Was quiet as quiet could be.
No medical aid was lacking:
The servants answered his ring,
Respectfully heard his orders,
And supplied him with every thing.
But still there was something wanting,
Something he couldn't command
the kindly words of compassion,
The touch Of q gentle hand.
And he said, as his brow grew darker
And he rang for the hireling nurse:
swell. marriage may be failure.
But this is blamed sight worse!''

No Courting in This Case.

The parents of Mr.. Koo, the at
tache of the Chinese Legation at
Washington. have written to him
informing him that they have Sc
lected a wife for him. He has
never seen his prospective bride and is
not likely to do so for some time. even
after he goes back home. as in the
Chinese marriage ceremony the bride
and bridegroom are forced to sit back
to back for three or four hours in
solemn silence on board table, dur
ing which strange programme the
woman is so heavily vailed that even
the most ardent gaze OF her legal part
ner would fail to distinguish her feat
ures. At the conclusion of the curious
ly intricate cerem )nies the crowning
stroke is the spi:iting away of the
bride by her relatives. who for days
thereafter keep her in the closest Sc
clusion away from her husband. He
during that period can neither see nor
speak to her.-Cor. Detroit Free Press

mOn-SenSlcal. 1t does not show per-
sons in their true light; indeed, is
sure of false coloring and extrava-
gance. 1t is development of imma-
turity. 1t is part of human evolu-
tion. Welded love is the wedding or
welding of two who have been carried
beyond the period when they can be
carried away from reason.
That would make an interesting his
tory if one could read the loves of
the fifty most rounded. strongest char
acters in history; but not the first
loves, for those would be almost the
same story retold. They rarely get
into mans biography. or are re-
ferred to in his autobiography. He
tries to let them drop out of sight
He counts only those later grapplings
of his heart after one whom he desires
for life's partner. The ancients never
told any thing of man without giving
his love story. How delightful the
story Of the patriarchs, and their wan
derings after wives. and their wOoings
of kinswomen! But we need not be-
lieve there was no romance Of the
other sort in their lives They, as
We do. hid this chapter of their lives.
1t does not count in the same way as
the rest of life counts. One would
suppose. in reading of the Orient
that love had been reduced wholly to q
matter OF bargain and economy. yet
there is nowhere else so much OF the
idyllic and romantic.

MARRIAGE.
Mr.. e. ID. Tenney and Miss Rose Makee
United in the Holy Bonds.

Mr.. e. ID. Tenney and Miss Rose Makee
United in the Holy Bonds.
Yesterday evening at Z 80 o'clock Mr..
E. d. Tenney, of the firm of Castle &
Cooke, was married to Miss Rose Makee,
daughter of the late Captain and Mrs.
James Makee, the ceremony being inn
pressively performed in the Anglican
ritual by the Rev. Alexander Mackin-
tosh in st. Andrews Cathedral. Only
very immediate friends of the contract
ing parties we're present in the church,
the general invitations issueds having
been but for wedding reception at the
residence of Mr. F. P. Hastings. The
following invited witnesses to the religl-
Gus rite were seated near the front before
the hour announced: HOn.'and Mrs. j.
B. Atherton, Hon. and Mrs. w. Il. Cas-
tie, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. 2. Castle, Miss
Carrie Castle, Mrs. DR.. Herbert. Mrs.
Noonan, Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Bowen,
Mrs. Adele Cornwell, Miss Blanche
Cornwell Mrs. Widdifield, Miss Adele
Widdifeld, Mrs. D. 4. Vida and son.
Punctual to the moment the bride
groom entered and advanced to the
altar, accom- panied by Mr. Il. L . BlSnOp,
his best man. Mr. Wray Taylor saluted
their entry with a wedding march finely
played on the organ. After the lapse of
a few minutes the bride entered leaning
on the arm OF her brother, Hon. Parker
n. Makee, and attended by Miss Kitty
SpaIding, the bridesmaid. They were
followed by Col. and Mrs. u. S. Spalding
and Mr.. and Mrs. F. p. Hastings, who
took seats in the front of the church.
The bride looked very lovely attired in a
beautiful white brOcaded silk dress with
train, covered with a snow-white bridal
veil surmounted by a pretty cluster OF
orange blossoms. 1t was difficult iii the
body of the church, owing to the lively
breezes blowing through the open doors
and windows, to hear the modulated
tones in which the ritual was spoken,
yet the BRIDES responses were perfectly
audible to the aIthest recesses OF the
cathedral. Mr.. Makee gave the bride
away and the whole ceremony was quiet
and unassuming. The organist played
soft music throughout, and as the party
retired sounded out the march grandly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tenney made handsome
couple beyond the conventional accepta-
ton of the term. The bridegroom makes
a new start in life IN double sense, as
his marriage and his admission to the
prominent commercial house above
mentioned have occurred on the same
day.

Government Suits.

His Excellency Attorney-General c..
w. Ashford was interviewed aimlessly
for news the other day, and, after stating
what has been published about his in
tended health trip to the Coast, was
induced to detail some of the public bus
mess holding him back from taking the
first steamer.
A suit is pending to decide whether
the Crown lands held by Trustees of the
Bishop Estate for the Kamehameha
Schools are taxable, the Government
claiming that they are 50, while the
trustees claim the lands are exempt
from taxation. The case is jury-waived
and comes up for hearing to-day.
The question is also coming to a judi
cial issue whether the lands conveyed to
his trustees by His Majesty are liable to
taxation.
Another matter of tax exemption is
that of the street railway. One thousand
dollars has been paid as taxes for the
property under protest. Skinner & Co.
of London were the parties assessed and
the claim is to be contested that they
are only the construction company and
not liable for the taxes.
A revenue suit is to be brought against

both, for the sum of $3.50 claimed to be
due in liquor duties,

PRONUNCIATION OF the ConstitutIon-Ex-
tract from a Lady's Letter.
kToKIo, Feb. 81, 1889.
We have been passing through very
exciting times, accounts of which you
Will see in the papers; and through your
large Japanese population, presume
you will learn great deal more than I
know myself.
The 18th of February was the greatest
day, l suppose, that Japan ever saw, for
on that day The Constitution was Pro
mulgated," and this people are now en-
franchised. The 18th is always kept as
d holiday in commemoration of the
founding of the empire 2,549 years ago,
when the Emperor Jimmu assembled the
throne; and this day was chosen to open
the door for the people to take part in
public affairs.
My own observations were very linn
tied, and l cannot pretend to give an &C
count. But there were great prepare
tons made for the event. The streets in
every part of the city were decorated.
There was large gathering at the Pal
ace, new one, of Princes, mobiles, gov
eminent officials and foreign representa-
tives, to witness the ceremony. After
which long procession, including the
Emperor and Empress, went to the
Aoyama parade ground, where Their
Majesties rode together in an open car
riage. Mark these words. Trivial do
they seem? They carry weight in this
country, for such thing has never been
known here before. The Empress has
hitherto occupied her own carriage, with
curtains drawn. And it is not many
years ago, | believe, that no one was al
lowed to be on the street when the EN-
peror passed, and even on this occasion,
it is said, people must not be higher than
His Majesty, that is on the second story.
The day began with sad incident.
The Minister of Education, Count Mort, |
was assassinated, just as he was leaving
his house to attend Court. This was
done for no political reason; but it was
done by student who had his head at
once cut off by Morris servant. The rea-
son given is most too trif1ing to repeat, |
and something else may have developed |
ere this, but it is said the Count had des- |
ecrated temple by going in with his
boots on.
