FAST ENOUGH.
A Russians Plan for Crossing the Alt
 lantIc In Twenty-Eight Hours.

A Russians Plan for Crossing the At
 lantic in Twenty-Eight Hours.
 It is said that a new maritime inven- tion, intended to revolutionize the pres ent system of marine locomotion, is be- ing perfected by Lieut.. Apostolow, of the Russian navy. The other day a private exposition was given of the in- genious models before Admiral Van der Fleet, Baron Bistrom, Capt. Pereleschin and other naval officers, in the directors room of the Russian company's estab lishment at Odessa. Sufficient inforna- tion has been collected by the London Transcript to show that Lieut.. Aposto- lows new ship has neither screw nor paddle. There is, instead, kind of running electrical gear right round the vessels hull, under the water line, and a revolving mechanism, which will pro- pei the ship from Liverpool to New York in twenty-eight hours. This, how ever, is but one part of the Russians scheme. Some unreasonably timid per- sons, Lieut.. Apostolow imagines, might object to the discomfort of being swished through the Atlantic pillows at the rate of one hundred and thirty knots an hour. To these he offers the alternative of a submarine passage without rock, roll or vibration, and with good supply of oxygen and hydrogen during the short voyage" What the czar's officers think of the Apostolow plans is not recorded. All that is known is that the lieutenant has quilted Odessa for Moscow and St. Petersburg, where he intends te exhibit his models before he embarks with them for that valhal1a of invention the worlds fair.

A Case of Usury in London.

A London Shylock recently attached the salary of a teacher for debt for bor- rowed money. The teacher gave the following statement, which shows that nsury is not yet a lost art: "In August, 1886, l borrowed e5 (only) of MT. Louis of Finsbury-pavement, who ad- yertised to lend money 'on note of hand For this said e5 signed bill at month for e6. Not meeting it at the end of the month, paid him e1 for renewal of the bill. This payment of e1 repeated every month until January, 18S9-twenty-eight months (with two exceptions)-whenh he increased the bill to e8, but reduced the monthly interest to 15s, which I paid regularly until De cember, 1890. then offered and begged him to accept payment of the 98 by equal monthly installments. He re fused to do so, and was advised to de- cline further payments. Subsequently he pressed me for payment, offering to accept new bill for the amount above and interest, which 1 was unable to meet. Hence his attachment of my salary" From the above statement it would appear that the teacher in ques- tion received 95 only, paid e44, and is still in debt for an amount, including interest and costs, of SIS 16s 2d.

An Even Thing.

On the steeple of an old Universalist church in Bath, Me, there is wooden figure of an angel. It is not remark ably fine specimen of art, and has always been somewhat laughed about, especially because of its high-heeled shoes. The Bath Enterprise recalls the story that a former pastor of the North Congregational church once accosted 8 devoted Universalist with the question: "Mr. Raymond, did you ever see an angel with high-heeled shoes on its feet?" "Why, mo-" answered Mir. Ray mond, 'T can't say that ever did; but did you ever see one without themP" |.

The Sanford ranch has already turned off about 26,000 water and musk melons this season, with a prospect of having as many more. The late planted vines are very thrifty and hang full of most de- licious melons, IL is a great pity that our Mexican ranchers and the Indians, are not more careful in planting good seed. If they did this, their melons would equal in size and flavor, those raised on our best ranches.

PERSIA IN 4 BAD WAY.
The Shah Now Under the Control of
 Priestly Oligarchy.


 The internal affairs of Persia seem to be proceeding steadily from bad to worse. A correspondent of the London Times, who declares that he has the highest authority for his statements, writes: The priestly caste, which has always enjoyed greater authority in Persia than in Mussulman countries of the Sunni persuasion, although hum bled by the present ruling dynasty, has exploited to the utmost the prevail ing discontent for the furtherance of ' its own ends and the revival of its own prestige. Mahdist doctrines-i. e., the belief in the speedy advent to the twelfth Imam, who is to sweep the un- believers off the face of the earth-have always had a strong hold upon Shiite Mohammedans. During the last Muhar- rem festivals the priesthood announced in many mosques that a mahdi and savior unto Persia had risen at Samara, near Bagdad, in the person of Mollah Hajji Mirza Hassan Shirazi, and that he was predestined to rule over the land. This ominous announcement was rendered stin more significant by the omission of the khutbeh, the prayer for the shah, which throughout Islam is the most ancient and sacred privilege Of royalty. These incidents acquire all the more gravity that the shah feels him. self helpless to cope with the impend- ing crisis. Treachery is rampant with in the palace itself, and the shah's third son, Prince Naib-es-Sultaneh who is at the same time minister of war, is known to be in secret sympathy with the mal- content leaders. It is no exaggeration to say that the shah rules in little more than name, and, as it were, on suffer ance. The power, both in the capital and the provinces, almost throughout his empire, has passed out of his hands into those of the priestly oligarchy, who are the masters of the situation. The grand vizier himself-Emin-es-S tan-has been compelled to enter into secret negotiations with the most inf1u- ential of these holy agitators, Nolan Mirza Hassan Ashtiany, in the hope, it is alleged, of persuading him that the deposition of the shah would involve the occupation and possible par tition of the last great shah kingdom by the very Europeans whose presence is so loathful to every right-thinking MuSsulman."

there was a loud burst of cheering
when he resumed his seat.
A lengthy letter from Hon. John
