Fooled the Ameer.

It seems that young Mr. Curzon, who married Miss Leiter, is not above a joke. A short time ago, when he was in Afghanistan, he was so desirous of making an impression on the Ameer that he rigged himself up in the regimentals of a general. The trick worked to a charm, ahfl the Ameer, seeing the glittering and imposing uniform, supposed that the young man was a distinguished warrior. The result was that Mr. Curzon received the most marked homage, which he graciously accepted, fortunately getting out of the country before the imposition was discovered.
