The Indian Daily A tws gives an accouut of a social reform which has just been effected. It has hitherto been a custom among the Coles (Sing ibboin) to sell daughters to bridegrooms au institution peculiar to the race. The prices bked were so exorbitant (forty and fifty head of cattle being common) as to cause for some years past a tailing off in the number of mar riages and an increased immoral intimacy between the two sexes. Every district officer who has taken any interest in the Coles has endeavoied to advise them to alter their cus tom on this point, but unfortunately without success. Colonel Dalton, commissioner of CLota Nagpore, now reports that the people have at last yielded their prejudices in regard to it. The evils resulting from the exorbitant demands for Cole ladies have been recently very freqnent, and in taking the opinion of the most intelligent of the Coles as to devising a remedy, it was discovered that they them selves were prepared for a change, bat that no person would take the initiative. The com missioner, however, convened a punchayet, and it was resolved by all the inaukia and leading men that the bride's pun or price in future was not to exceed ten head of cattle this also was l.ominal, as the ten head will in clude a pair of oxen, a cow and seven rupees, and for the poor only Brveu rupees, without any cattle. The change is a very remarkable event in the hiBtory ot the Coles. .Abyssinian Treasures and Trophies. The stolen treasures and trophies of the Tower of Loi :di n will receive a considerable addition from the Abyssinian spoilt. Among Theo dore's jewels are tw o crowns, one for State and the other for ordinary purposes. The State crown is of gold, rising to a height of about eighteen inches in three tiers; it is inlaid eiiher with precious stones or admirable imi tations. The woik is very fine, aud the weight such as only the head of a powerful man could btar. The tommon orown is of dark silk velvet, and was, no doubt, at one time very lii.e, but age has dimmed its brightness. The robes are gorgeous, the state rote being made ol gold tinsel, worked in fhiss, and lined with a rich brown satin. The pattern is very chaste, and the workmanship can scarcely be excelled in any civilized country. The second robe is one which Theodore expressly offered to be made for her Majesty Queen Victoria, but 'unavoidable oironuitdauces" intervening, tbe black monarch kept it himself for some time and finally gave it to one of the German artitaLS at Magdala, who gave it up to Sir Hubert Napier. The material of this robe are not so i icb, nor are the ornaments as chaste and valuable as those of the State robe, but the dig ree work of Indian pattern Uexquisitely done. The seal of the king is one of an ordi nary character, aud bears the name of Theo dore, it is supposed to have been made In London. There are also the royal slippers of a shape somewhat after the Japanese; they rre ciYcred with gold scales, and appear to have, Leen frequently worn. - , MARINE TELmKAPn, ; For additional Marine New tea Flrtt Page.
