ACurious Case Of Matrimony.

hurled another fatal dart, and at the age o
about ff.y.fve years, she again bows al
Uymen's altar, to which she is led for the
sixth time, to offer herself willing sacrifice
to the god Of marriage by gentleman who
has entered his eighty-frst year. She be
comes his second wife. In every instance
save the FIRST the lady has married wido
wers, with children, while she has remained
without issue. And now, while she is child
less. she has married husband who hal
founded a tribe. The number OF his de
scendants, children, grand children ano
great grand children, WAS, when last count

there have been q number of accession
since-nearly enough to make the numbe
