Marrying in Haste, Eat not Repenting at Leisure, L Philadelphia Press.! Mr. Benjamin, late consul at Teheran, Persia, tells an amusing story of one of the shah's sons-in-law, who took to flight on receiv ing an intimation that the shah deemed it proper that he should contribute a valuable offering to the royal treasury. "When the victim's father had died it had been found that he had left a large share of his large treasures by will unassigned to any heir, directing that it should be ouried with him in his tomb. The coffin was de posited in a mosque which was the tomb of a saint called an Imam Zadeb, several days' journey from Teheran. The Moayer-ul-Mamolek informed the princess, his wife, that he proposed to make a pil grimage to the shrine of a saint such pilgrimages being greatly esteemed in Persia, adding as they do to a repute for piety. Bidding farewell to the princess, who little thought how long it would be be fore she should see her husband again, and selecting such tried at tendants as could be trusted, the Moayer-ul-Momolek left Teheran. After proceeding some distance toward the shrine he had men tioned, he took a bridle path that led in the opposite direotion, and traveled hard until he reached the shrine. The gray bearded mollah came forth from the gate to welcome the prince with low bows and many a honeyed phrase as he alighted. Overlooking the scene from the housetop was the fair, blooming daughter of the host. Perhaps, with a natural touch of coquetry, she allowed her veil to drop for a moment as the prince looked up. At any rate, the sight of the young maiden suggested to him a -means of as sistance in the maturing" of his plan. After the evening repast the prince gave the host and father of the damsel to understand that he would like to have her to wife. It is so common for Per sian gentlemen high in rank, in cluding the shah himself, to select wives iar lower in station than themselves, that there was nothing in the proposal to excite surprise, although it gave the old moll.tii great pleasure to think that he was to be allied to a prince. Nor was he staggered on learning that the would-be husband- desired the marriage to take place without de lay, for haste regarding an affair of such importance is also not un common in Persia. The prelimin aries having all been arranged, a priest was sent for, who drew up and signed the marriage contracts. And thus in a few brief hours the young country girl, who had never before seen her husband, not only found but wedded him and he a prince and son-in-law of a King. When the Moayer-nl Mamolek was alone with his bride he told her that, notwithstanding the sud denness of his attachment to her, his love was so intense that he de sired to present her with an extraordinary token of his regard. In a word, it was his wish to be stow on hera diadem of rare value and beauty which had been in his family for generations. Unfortu nately this prize was not in his possession. It was in cluded with the treasures hidden in the shrine of the saint, of which her father held the key, under sol emn oath not to deliver neither key nor treasures to a living soul. The bride of an hour eagerly re plied if this were all the impedi ment that hindered possession of the gem, she could overcome it. The key of the shrine her father kept according to Persian custom, under his pillow; and as he slept soundly, she was confident of be ing able to secure and return it before he should awake at the call of the morning prayer. She stole through the house barefooted and managed to get possession of the key without awakening her father and brought it to her husband. The nobleman gave his bride a parting kiss, promising in a few brief moments to bring her the coveted gift. He proceeded at once to Imam Zadeb, where his servants were awaiting him with horses. It took only a short time. to .rifle the .tomb, of- its riches ancHoad them in the saddle- uaija uu irn; iiuiac3, auu inuii uie worciwas,o norse ana away." The bride waited long. Such treachery was a new expe rience to her. Her hopes gradu ally passed to despair. When morning came she. realized .that she had not only lost her husband, but incurred as well the dire in dignation of her father. But while she was lamenting the bridegroom was flying for his life .toward the Caspian sea. At Mesched-i-Sar the fueritives found a steamer bound to Baku, in Russia. On board of this vessel they escaped to Europe and traveled to Paris. An Important Decision. Washington", March 11. Sec retary Lamar, in the case of Lean der Scott vs. the Kansas Pacific railway, has decided to adhere to the prosent system of adjusting the limits of land grants to rail ways, and reject the plan proposed by commissioner Sparks. The de cision, in its ramifications, and on account of the land involved, is thought by some to be the most important ever rendered by the interior department. Had the de cision of commissioner Sparks been approved, the land grant railways of the country would have been deprived of many millions of acres of land. The commissioner's plan was, in brief, to so adjust land grants as to railways as to give the amount of land to what the' would receive on their roads in all cases which have been built, in straight lines. The old system, which was established in 1S52, ndjudted grants to correspond with the sinuosities of the roads. Senator Dolph is inclined to think that this decision virtually decides the dis pute between thp Oregon & Cali fornia railway and the general government, a3 to whether the former or the latter is entitled to a certain large tract of land near Forest Grove. Commissioner Sparks held that the railroad com pany was not entitled to said tract, and that filings under the general land laws by persons settling thereon should be received. It is thought that the secretary's decis ion will have the effect to restore the land to the railway. 1 he WY-oieru Settler's Chosen Specific. With e ery advance of emigration Into the fai We.-t. a new demand is created for Hos-tetter'-s Stomach Hitters. Newly peopled regions are frequently less salubrious than older settled localities, on account of the miasma which rises from recently cleared land, particularly along the banks of rivers that are subject to freshets.
