The Metheds Employed by Cupid in the Land of the Shah, The Marriage Broker's Work—A Le- gal Ceremony Where the Bride Hidden Behind a Vell, 8t, James Gazette, love at first sight is unusoal In & country where the women are habitually velled and a glimpse even of a lady's face is seldom to be got save by strategem or by what is considered unmodest—the raleing of the corner of her veil by the Iady herself. Shrouded as she fs from head to foot in an immenso sheet of blue two yards equare, a yet fatther preoau- tlon must be taken. Over all thisls placed a ruh-band or veil,—no transpar- ent and flimsy device, is our own lace “fall” or the thin and gauzy yashmak of the Tarkish belle, serviceablo alike t» telumphant and fading beauty. The rah-band 18 a plece of white callco or cambrio, & yard long, which hangs down like a long mask in front of the Persian woman's face when clad In her hideous and purposely unbecoming outdoor cos- tume, which costume, sad to eay, ls an impenetrable dieguize. In it all women sroalike. An sperturs four inches long running traversely across the eyes enables the Perslan lady to see her way and a little more. For even this aperture is covered by elaborate and curious em- broldery, between the threads df which she can only peep. But the Perslan belle will yet find a way of rowarding an ad- mirer with a glance, and thus the mar- riages so carefully brought about by par: ents and relatives are not Infrequently the result of predilections slyly mani- fested. The outdoor dress, belng & di gulse, cutsboth ways, and the intrigu- ante amuses herself with impunity. Certaln marrisges take place because, in the eyes of Orientals, they are natural ones, such as the union of first cousins. The children have been like brother and gistor from the cradle, and they are mar- rled as & matter of course; it is their fate, and they snbmit to it. But outside these marriages of custom, and far more numer- ous than the marriages of predilection to which we have referred, are the mar- riages usually arrsnged by ‘‘brokers.” These brokers are old women, who al- ways keep themselves in a position to quote the state of the marriage market, which fluctuates. In hard times even girls of good appearance are compara- tively a drug. In times of plenty they “‘rule firm.” THE MARRIAGE-BROKER, The marrlage-broker is ever a welcome guest where there are daughtera to marry, and also in houses where the sons wish to find a suitable bride. The young peo- ple are no! consulted by the broker. She deals with the parents, and generally with the mothers. Crafty as a horse- dealer, she runs glibly over the various advantages, mental, physical and pecu- niary, of her clientele of both sexes. So- and-so is a steady qulet man. Sucha one has brilllant prospects—has (impor- tant consideration) no other wife, As for Yusuf, how good-looking he is! And Hassan, no man was ever 8o good-tempered. Of the other sex she sings the praises no less. The skill of Bebe as a housskesper, the wealth of the ugly daughtar of the banker, the dan- gorous chsrms of the . portlonless Zuleakha she can never say too much about. Her main business is to bargain for the sum to be pald to the father or his daughter’s hand; a sum which 1s us- |, ually expended by that father in pots and pans (all of copper) and other uteneils, which he presents to his child asher separate property. The detalls belng settled after much haggling, the young people are engaged, and the mar- rlage-broker gets her commission both from the parents of the bridegroom and those of the bride-elect. Among the poor and laborlng claeses the bargain is arranged on other grounds. The peasant takes a wife for her thows and sinews, or her skill at weaving carpets or making cheese; while the bridegroom is or Is not eligible, according as he may be capable of hard work, or may hold some small office, or have a bit of land ora shop. Here the marriage-broker Is generally an amateur, who conducts the negotla- tlons purely from that love of match- making which Is such a blessing to the world. The adk, or marriage contract, Is sim- ply & legal form; but it is marrisge, and not betrothal. A few frlends are ivvited; the bride, perhaps a child of ton, is seat- ed In a room with her parents and rela- tlons; over the door hangs the usual cur- taln. Or, if the ceremony takes place in one room or the open alr, the women are all velled. At the other side of the curtain, in an outer room or in the open air, are the male guests; and here equats the moollah or priest of the quarter, who now drones out in a monotonous voice the ‘marrisge contract, which has been previously drawn out by him, “Itfs agroed between Hassan the draper, who is vakeel (sgent) for Housseln, the son of the baker, that he, Houssein, hereby acknowledges the recelpt of the portion of Nlssa, the daughter of Achmet the geocer.” Here follows the llst of the property of the bride in lands, moneys, houses, eattle, dretses, furniture, car- pots, pans, and so on. Alwaysa copy of the Koran and a certain welght of sewing sllk are mentioned, This de- talled acoount of her property, consti- tuting the woman’s separate estate, her husband merely holds in trust during thelr cohabltation, At death or dlvorce 1t goes back again 10 herself or helrs, THE WIFE'S BEPARATE ESTATH, And it 1s this mehr or seperate estate that renders secure the otherwi: fous position of the eastern wife in a polygamous conncr{. for the varlous things enumerated, though scknowledged by tfio husband as received, may nw ox- {st on paper, Still he has acknowledged, them aad if he wish to put away his wife, orif they separate by consent, hels bound to refund the mebr of which he has legally acknowledged the receipt, or to obtaln her legal dlscharge for the same, ‘‘And,”continues the mollah, ‘‘he acknowledges the recelpt of the afore- sald mehr.” then follows a hum of de. light at the extent of the lady’s propert; “You, Hassan, how do you aay as v for Housseln—is this so!” *Yes,yes, I agres mumbles Hastan, ‘‘And you, Achmet, do you glve you doughter, Lady Nissa, to be wife of Lord Hous- seint’ **Yes, yes,.I agree,” replies Achmet the grocer. ‘‘And you, Lady N are you there?” ‘Yo, yer, she e, Mollah,” replies a chorus of women from behind the curtain, ‘‘And you sgree, Lady Nissal' Here there lsa glggle from tho child-bride. *‘Yes, yes agrees,” comes ina trlumphant chorus from the women. ‘*‘Them,” says the mollah, solemnly, *in the name of God, the compassionate, and of Mobammed, the prophet of God, I declare you, Lcrd Housseln, and you, merolful, { wi THE DAILY BEE-- FRIDAY APRIL 10, 1885 Lady Niss, to be man and wifs the moollah puts his stamp, or seal to the document; the various parties soal It, too, it I carefally witnessed and formally completed. The mollah recolves his fee of » few shilllngs and then, and not il then, he hands over the &ioeumont—har sottloment and ‘‘marriage lines” In one— to the agent of the bride or to her father. THE LEGAL CEREMONY. The legal ceremony is over; the young poople are marcled fast, fast as the Mo- bammedan law can bind. And, theoret- foally, as yet they have never seen each other’s But really Housseln has had many a glimpse of the fair Nissa; her mother haa often allowed him to ree her child from behind a curtaln or a cupboard door, All this is understood. And the young people are now legally marrled. The wedding, as distinct from the eapon- ls, may take place tha same evening, week, a month, or not for years, ac- cording to the age, rank or circumstances of the bride and bridegroom. Men and women feast separately, and after many waterpipes have been smoked, many pounds of sweetmeats consumed and & plentiful banquet has been disposed of the guests separate. All promise to be present at the aotusl wedding, No music, no rejolcings—nothing but what we have described s seen at the ceromony we have detailed. The actoal wedding is a scone of joyand merriment ourlous in the extreme. PILES! PILES! PILES!

A Colorado Convict Who Can Tralh- fully be Called Such, He Spends His Life in Prison Because He Likes it —<Released From Prison One Day and in Jall the Next, Denver Tribune, Charles Langhelmer, who was for over forty years an inmate of Cherry Hill prison in Philadelphla, and during his imprisonment was made famous by Charles Dickens in his ‘‘ Ameri Notes,” in many respects has his counter- part In the person of ‘“Doc” Vanscoy, until a fow days ago a convlot In the Col- orado penitentiary. Langhelmer's coll was always left vaoant durlng hls dis charge, for It was only a question of time when the old man, in later years known a8 ‘‘Dickens’ Datchman,” would agaln be sentenced to another term of Imprison- ment, Vanscoy on last Friday finished serving out a three years’ term in the penitentlary at Canon City for the crime of horso atealing in Park county. Next day after his release he was again at his old trade of stealing in Pueblo, where he had immediately gone after leaving the prison, and now Vanscoy is confined in jall at Pueblo awaiting trial on the charge. Vanscoy is a man about fifty years of age and has for seventeen years been confined In the penitentiaries of various states. His halr has become gray, but he shows no other signs that his prison life has been detrlmental to his welfare, He is & man of unusually large propor: tione.

GOODMAN, Wholesale Agent, The Burglary of the State Treasury, Linceln News, One man, a wealthy and influential citizen, snid to-day that he was utterly disgusted with the course the Evening News had taken in trymg to arouse a feeling of sympathy for the dead robber and prejudice the people against the officers,—Democrat. Tho above is clipped from a mess of local twaddle emanating from an inex- perienced ‘‘plug” who hopes to make his readers believe that some of the beat and most reliable citizens of Lincoln are justly Indignant at the whimpering, morbid sentiment which some exprees for the dead Griffin. We would advise the Dem- ocrat's “wealthy and influential cltizen” to lay In a supply of hog cholera cure, for he will grow worse Instead of better, we yerily believe.

If w.i.c. entertains an opinfon, the News is not disgusted if he continues to press it to his otom. Wb oconcede hls privilege. He is like the fellow who believed his stomach atout enough for anything. The foolish man was willing to bet he could drink a dose of red hot iron, but in the attempt, when it scorched his nose, he concluded to let the contents of that ladle cool off a little. Of course, he lost his wager, and saved the use of lip salve. The whole senate, including the state executive, were forced up to fever heat by the appalling occurrence. Before the spirlt of Griffin had departed from its earthly tenement, they offered to divide the state treasure as a reward in evi- dence of extreme gratitude to those who had been hired to ‘‘fill his body with lead.” But their valor suddenly cooled, and within twenty-four hours tender spmpathetic hearts had hardened to a frigld state which couldn’t be sliced off with a pick axe. All hands joined in the indictment and concluded that it was not after all a very brave and honorable act to rob even a one-legged conspirator's little children of their father by shoot- ing him in the back. Public opinlon denounced the acts 1st, 2d, and 3d asan outrage. A speclal grand jury, good men and true, returned their verdict in accordance with a sur- prising abundance of convicting testi- mony, {ncluding the amount of $1,500 bastily voted by the state senate to be paid for the marder of Jim Griffin, All the Incldents and circumstances con- nected with the attempted robbery and doath of an implicated person, and what has transpired since, continues to dis- turb the publlc mind.

Vanacoy was born in the state of New York, and during the early part of his life was engaged In business. What his firat offense was lsnot known, but slnce that fall he has never been out of prison any length of time. The only care he seems to take I8 to see that his term of sentence is not too long. His first confinement was at Sing Sing and since that time he has been confined in the penitentiaries of various middle and western states. He was born a thief and will die a thief. He takes a pride in relating his experience inthe peniten- tlarlos of the different stases, detailing the different kinds ¢f punishments used in refractory cases,and giving his opinion 28 to which was the most efficacious. Vanecoy was dlscharged from _the Canon Clty penitentlary by Warden Hoyt onthe 20th inst. The term of his sen- tence, unier the good behavlor provision would have expired March 1, but owing to lll-conduct he has forty-two extra days to serve. He repeatedly sent notes to ‘Warden Hoyt to the effect that his time was out, and asked to be discharged. He asked for a new pair of boots, and made varlous appeals for those necessar- fes which are usually given a convlct when leaving the penlitentlary, but the warden steadily refused. APPEAL AT LAST GRANTED, Recently as Warden Hoyt was walking over the ground, accompanied by Sheriff Sweeney, of Larimer county, Vanscoy raised his finger, which signal meant that he deslred to speak. The warden, suc- mising the purpose of the proposed con- yersation, told him to get his coat and go to his cell, as he intended to discharge him, thereby roturning to him twenty-two deys of his good time. Vanscoy, much elated, left his work, and in the evening appeared before the warden in his new suit of clothes, the prison garb having been thrown aside. Warden Hoyt gave him the $10 allow- ance which every discharged prisoner re- celves. Vanecoy stood hesitatingly in the warden’s presence, and then ex- clalmed: “The 1st of March makes the seven- teenth year I have spent in varloas peni- tentlarles, and warden,” continued Vaus- coy, “I have but one favor to ask.” “'What is it?” was the Interrogatory reply of Warden Hoyt. “After I had finished my first term at Sing Sing, I concluded to make a tour of the penitentiaries, I managed to get into nearly all the leadiog ones east and then resolved on a trip west, Igot through Joliet and was arrested in Kansas for steallng a horse. But there fate was againet me, Thed— jary hungand the only thing left for me to do was to come to Colorado. Now, Warden, I am going to Utah, and you will confer & great favor If you will give a recommendation to the warden of the a_glass of eelizer lemonade for him, which he drank to ‘wake his stomach up,’ as he told his friends at the same table. One-quarter of that glass of lemonade was pure Holland gin, which, being white in color, could not be de- tected even by the person sittlng next to him. Yes, of course, wo knew .the gin was ia It, for he has been stopping at this hotel when In the clty forsome fifteen years, and thero was an understandivg reached between us a long while ago. “Then thers Is the wife of a naval officer of high ravk who always stops here while her husband 1s on one of his cruises.

She be- comes then a really beautiful talker. The troe reason is _that there was a stiff pony of the best French brandy in each one of those little cups of black coffee.” “Now look there; watch that,” said said the speaker, stopping suddenly and nodding his head toward the door of the room, ‘‘now you'il have a practical 1llus- tration of what I say.” As he spoko thres gentlemen strolled in and walked up to the bar. Each one of them wore silk hats and large dla- mond solitaires {n thelr shirt frente, They each ordered drinks, two taking whisky and the third a bottle of gingor ale. “You keep it up hetter than I thought you could, Aleck,” eaid cne of the whisky drinkers to the third man as he came up to the cashier’s desk to pay the check.
