THE WIDOWS ART.-Speaking
Of the liability of English states
men of rcpntc to marry widows,
and the happy relations incident
to these matches, the New York
World makes this fine point;
We decline to entertain for a
moment the hypothesis that tho
skill which is so often displayed
BY a lady was acquired at the cx-
pense Of her first spouse, on which
she experimental as on q eorpss
uile until lie became a corpus cold.
Far more probable is it that the
first was made even moro happy
than the second-so happy that
flesh and blood could not stand it
and that, being wa.ned by this
experience, the widow who "e-
comes wife gives to her second
husband only just that amount of
bliss that is good for him, and no
moro.

The Many Disasters in Rich
mOnd.

At the opening Of this new
year it is not without mourntul
interest, to look back at the great
disasters that have befallcn Rich
mond since it became a city. In
1911, the theatre on Broad street,
where the Monumental Church
now stands, was destroyed by fire,
and seventy two persons, includ-
ing the Governor of Virginia,
were burned to death. During
the war, besides the sufferings
usual in beseigcd city, the am
munition factory on Browns Is
land exploded in 1868, killing
thirty-thrcc young girls and six
males, including Rev. J. II. Wood
cock, engaged there. In 1865, at
the evacuation, nearly the entire
business portion of the city was
destroyed by fire. In 1868, at 4
political celebration On Mayo's
Island, the bridge broke down,
killing Col. James r. Branch, one
Of our first citizens: and four 9TH
cr persons. The year 1870 was
thick with disasters. In April:
the flooring Of the Court Room at
the Capitol gave way, killing fifty
seven, and wounding over 100
persons. Afew months afterwards,
large portion Of the city was
submerged by a food, causing
great destruction of property !;
and on Christmas morning, the
Spotswood Hotel, with the valu-
able block Of buildings adjoining,
was destroyed by fire, and eight
human beings burned to death,
besides four never heard from and
supposed to have shared the same
fatc.-Richm0nd Dispatch.

as Mr.. Iarrham was "alIlnS eager

sister-in-law.
"Whcrc's kitty?" he demanded
dolorously, wrinkling up his broad
brow like a four year old about to
cry.
"Shc's gono to the Central Park
with Mr.. March. It's quite an old
engagement, and she couldn't very
we'll escape it; but she will be back

nervous. TRY your chicken broth,
Paulus, dear; it's very nice"
"It's sca-a-alding," screamed the
invalid and poor Mrs. Parrham
started back so suddenly that the
rest Of the broth went over the
covcrlet, and the china bowl tum-
blcd on the floor in three pieces.
"How can people be so clumsy?"
fretted Parrham. II wish Kitty
would come back !"

Parrham, with the utmost fcrven-
cy. "Shall | bring you q little

And his sistcr-in-law's gentle
tears were powcrlcss to shake his
resolve. Kitty Glenn would have
adopted 4 very different system of
tactics with him.
When she came back Mrs. Par
rham indulged in q burst Of hys-
tcrical sobs upon her sympathizing
bosom.
Don't leave US again, Kitty
she bcwailcd, 'or I shall certainly

And Kitty laughed, and went
straight into the sick room, with
her bonnet and shawl still on, to
scold the patient for his bad be-
havior.

But she remained at her post
thereafter, until such time as Mr..
Parrham sat up in his casy-chair,

she stood opposite him, looking
very pretty and very graceful,
'how can l ever thank you for all

Fifth Avenue Guzzling.

4 New York letter says:
If wine drinking can make o
people happy, the Fifth avenue
should be in a state of extreme
beatitudc for Notwithstanding
the high prices occasioned By the
war, the most costly brands here
find rapid market. If any. one
will stop on pleasant afternoon
at any one of the frst-c!ass grocery
establishments in Broadway; he
may witness the delightful task Of
liquor tasting performed by little
knots of the aristocracy, who stop
in to leave orders. In al! families,
whether Of the highest or less re-
pute, we find vino staple, and
the way it is drunk would excite
the admiration of all teetotalers.
Hardly groccr's cart backs up TO
a house but you sec the champagne
basket. After dinner the vino
circu!ates and is duly praised, for
it is of good American manufac-
turc. The only man in the secret
is the fellow who comes around
every week to buy the empty
bottles. He takes them down TO
the bottiing house, where they arc
filled, and in due time they are re-
turned with fresh brands and
silver tops. 1t seems absurd that
the wine-drinking com m uity
should b. ignorant Of this, when
almost opposite the Academy Of
Music there is :. large warehouse
devoted to this branch Of trade.
Here one may behold vast quanti-
ties ofsecond-hand bottles received
daily. There is no necessity Of
penetrating the mysteries Of this
place, for they ale not beyond tho
power of good guessing. Tho
transformation Of Jersey cider, and
petroleum into ueidsieck and
Veuve Cieuot is so rapid and
marvellous that it is q wonde, tits
not reckoned among the fine arts.

"Thcy answered, "No!"
"Wc!i, thcn,'' replied lie, eft is
of no use for me to waste my time
on SO stupid a set ofpcopte and
saying this he came down and
dismissed them.
Next day he again mounted tho
desk and asked
''Oh true Mussulmcn, do yon
know what I am going to say p
I'VE do" said they. :~
"Then," replied he, "there is 30
need for me to tell you;" and
again he let them 60.
The third time, his audience
thought they should catch him
and on putting the usual question,
they answered:
"Some Of US do, and some Of US
DON'T"
"Well, then" he replied, 'tet
those who know tell those who
don't"
