THE FIRE-WORSHIPPERS.
Prescription of on F.ntertainineut Given lJ
I'lirHee MobleitMn.
Perhaps no race of people is less
known or more interesting to thevtu
dent and traveler than the Pnrseos or
Fire-Worshipers of India. Thoy are
delightful hosts, aud. as it was my
good fortune to form the acquaintance
of Sir Framgeo Domshaw Petit, who
was knighted for a gift of $."00,000 to
an edncational institution, I will en
deavor to describe an entertainment I
attended at his palace. Sir Framge
lives in patriarchal magnificence, and
when his whole family is seated at ta
ble they number fifty-five. We were
received in the gmnd drawing-room,
as largo as a fair-sized church, and
presented to the ladies. We found them
pretty, intelligent and vivacious, and
it la no exaggeration to say that they
compared quite favorably with thei.
American sisters. The ladles were at
tired i'i graceful native costumes. The
dreis consisted of a waist, such
s is worn by Europeans, with a long
carf of embroidered silk, or crape,
called a sarre, wrapied several time
around the waist and falling in broad
folds about the limbs in lieu of a skirt.
One end of the sarre was brought over
the head and dropped gracefully in
front, constituting a very effective
head dress. Their jewels were mag
nificent. No crowned head of Europe
possesses their equal, and suh an ar
my of diamonds, pearls, sapphires,
and emeralds can scarcely be imag
ined. One of the guests wore eight
strings of pearls, which far esceled the
celebrated necklace of Queen Mar
guerite of Italy. The state costume
of the men is white, but on ordinary
occasions they appeal- attired In the
conventional evening dress. One pe
culiarity of their costume is not, how
ever, to be met in a London drawing
room. They never uncover their
heads, and a high, conical Persian
hat, or, at meals, a skull cap, always
completes their dress.
On the occasion I am describing an
orchestra played selections from
Italian operas, and. after conversing
awhile upon topics or universal inter
est, our host made a sign to the serv
ants, who brought lu baskets filled
with large bouquets of Eastern Bowers.
Each lady selected one, sprinkled it
with rose-water from a tall silver vase,
presented it to the gentleman who was
to escort her to dinner, and then, tak
ing his arm, she led the way to when
a table was spread, overlooking the
sea.
There we were regaled with tea,
coffee, cakes, fruiu and twenty-two
kinds of delicious native sweets, which
had beea collected in honor of our
coming. It was an event not to be
forgotten. The waving palms and
tropical flowers, the splash tof the
waves, mingling with the soft strains
of music, the beautiful women with
their flashing jewels and graceful
dress, were typical of the languid,
dreamy East, and carried one uncon
sciously back to the days of Haroun
al-Kashid.
When tea was over we were taken
for a delightful drive in handsome
European turnouts, and then to dine at
another Parsee house. The ceremony
was long and stately, all the dishes
were native, but the wines were Euro
pean, and this dinner, with that excep
tion, was representative of native
j manners before they had received the
rrjpean touch. The ladies whom we

An Ample Apoiogy.
Through some, unaccountable care
lessness in the composing-room of a
rural journal, the obituary of one of
the town's livest citizens crept into the
paper one morning. It was not many
hours after the issue of the edition
that the "lamented" himself crept into
the sanctum, and vigorously demanded
a correction in the next morning's pa
per. It appeared as follows:
"Our yesterday's edition contained
the announcement of the death of our
esteemed fellow-townsman, Colonel
Jones. It is with profound regret that
we state that our announcement was
premr-ture. The Colonel Btill lives,
and we beg to assure him not only of
our distinguished consideration, but
that it shall be our constant effort to
see that he shall not be annoyed in this
manner again until the last dread hour
has in very truth arrived. To this end
we have ordered the standing obitu
ary of Colonel Jones to be distributed.

AN HEROIC COURSE.
Tha Strait to Whl h a Toting Married
Man at Hoaton Wm Pvt.
I henrd th other day an authentic
story of something that hapened here
in Boston, which recalls an Incident in
one of Balzac's novcU and tends to sup
port the old saying about truth and fic
tion. It seems that the wife of a young
man who has a little house of bis own
some here ia the outlying districts, lut
whose salary is very small, fell ill, and
was unable to leave her room for sev
eral months. The doctor, aa often
happens, prescribed a great many rem
edies, tonics and beverages, such as
AKllinaris water and champagne.
which, being very expensive, were far
beyond the young hus'iand's means.
What could be done? He was bound
that his wife should have everything
which the doctor ordered, and. his purse
having beon emptied. h stole out one
evening with the parlor clock tinder his
arm and returned with a five-dollar bliL
A large easy-chair was expended two
days later for a few bottles of port wine.
and, to cut the story short, by the time
the young woman was able to go down
stairs, the rooms on tho first floor had
been stripped of their contents to pay
the grocer and the ajwthecary.
It must have been a bitter moment
for tho poor young wife when she first
saw what havoc had been wrought in
her drawing-room, and I dare say that
for a few minutes at least her good man
felt that he had been too clever by half.
Ik must bo acknowledged, however, that
he acted prett wisely. Health Is more
important than furniture, and in time
the nousenoia goous win oo replaced.
The plan which this enterprising fel
low pursued was surely better than
helping himself out of his master's
cash-box. and perhaps it was preferable
to the ordinary course of running in
debt; certainly it was more original.

enter into the choice of municipal offi

Bat I'm bent on the notion,
ni throw myself Into
The deep, "brinjr ocean."
Brown u Tie, fle, my good friend, don't give way to your ailments so easily,
and settle down Into such gloom and despondency. There's no excuse for su h
conduct, when It's a well-known fact that all your bad feelings, terrible head
aches, poor appetite, senee of fatigue, and lassitude, low-pirits, and hypochon
driacal condition are due to torpid liver and consequent indigestion, and'dcbilitv,
which will all give way and disappear, as the dew before the morning son, if you
but make use of that world-famed anti-bilious, tonic medicine known a Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It U gnaraatee to benefit or cure in all -diseases
for which it is recommended, or money paid for it will be refunded. It
cared me when I was in a mnch worse condition than you are, and if yon will
only try it, you will soon be singing
t ' "Bat my spirit shall wander
Through gay coral bowers,
'And frisk with the mermaids
It shall, by the Powers 1"
