A PEESIAN ADVENTUEE.
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. Tho agncul
tural or mining emigrant soon learns, w hen
he does not already know, that the Bitters
afford the only sure protection against na
laria, and those disorders of the stomach,
liver and bowels, to which climate changes,
exposure, and unaccustomed or unhealthy
water or diet subject him. Consequently,
lie places an estimate upon this gre.it house
hold specific and preventive commensurate
with its Intrinsic merits, and is careful to
keep on hand a restorative and promoter of
health so Implicitly to h relied upon In
time of need.
Trust him little who praises all,
him less who censures all and him
least who is indifferent to all. In
fact, don't trust anybody if you
can get ready money.
