Mr.. Seth Low and Columbia Uni
versity.

The resignation of Mr.. SETH Low as
President of Columbia University, offered
before he went on the stump in the interest
OF his candidacy for Mayor, was laid aside
by the trustees until their next meeting,
or until after the election. In form the
resignation invited refusal to accede to it
In the event of his defeat, and the reason
for the delayo of the trustees In acting upon
1t was manifestly their uncertainty as to
the outcome of his political canvass.
Such uncertainty exists no longer. Mr..
Low has been defeated roundly, and through
the means of his candidacy Tammany Hall
Is In complete possession of the govern
Ineht OF the enlarged New York. Since his
somewhat equivocal resignation, too. the
trustees of Columbia University have had
the opportunity to watch the course of its
President as Il candidate, and to observe
Its effects on the character and reputation
OF the institution. They have seen Mr.
Low traversing the whole territory of the
Greater New York as q hustlinR cleo
tioneerer In his own behalf, and they have
before them the judgment ON his candi-
dacy passed by the people of New York,
more than two-thirds of whom rejected
him last Tuesday.

become Mayor of New York conduced to

= CIGARETTES IN PERSIA.
The Habit Is Spreading Rapidly in that
Country,

1t appears that the smoking of cigar
cites has of late years spread almost as
rapidly in Persia as in countries nearer
home. Cigarette tobacco was first intro
duced as an agricultural product into the
Province Of Ghilan in 1876. The seed
was imported from Samsoun, in Turkey,
and the introduction of the plant into the
northern province Of Persia has had the
effect of introducing the practice of cigar
cite smoking throughout the country. 1t
has become SO general that even the low
est peasant now goes about with a cigar
cite case and cigarette paper. Until
quite recent years only kalians, or hubble
bubbles and chibouks, or long wooden
pipes with red clay bowls, were used
the former generally by the higher
classes, and the latter by the peasantry
laborers. mule drivers and other people
constantly on the move and therefore re-
curing a more portable apparatus. The
chibouk has now been to a very large
extent replaced by cigarettes, the tobacco
for his purpose being cheaper than the
Shiraz tumbekeo, which is required for
kalian and chibOuk.
