A CORNER IN WIvEs.-''COrners are
not confined to Wall Street, New York,
or to State Street. Boston. Neither
are they made wholly by dealers in stocks
and bonds. The Zulus of South Africa
do not need missionary to teach them
to be shrewd. Though a strong and
robust people, they have a decided
weakness for womankind. They have
as many wives as they have means to
purchase, and, unlike many civilized
countries, they buy not with gold, or
houses, or estates, but with cows. Twen-
ty, thirty, fifty or ! hundred cows are
given for wife, according as the girl
is young and beautiful or otherwise.
One bold Zulu operator with large capi-
tai once bought up all the young and
desirable girls in the market of the whole
region, and compelled all who wanted
to buy to pay him most exhorbitant
prices for wives. OF course t,ere wa,
much distress, and this disastrous state
of things attracted the attention Of their
government, and the recurrence OF it
was prevented by law which fixes the
legal price of a wife to be only ten co IS.
No man can collect more than this by
law. He may receive fifty if he will,
but he can force no one pay more than
ten.
The snow birds have made their ap-
pearance in large numbers, and are
blithe and gay, rejoicing at the near ap-
proach of wintry weather. Look out
for snow.
The original manuscript Of the Decla-
r4t;ol of independence is rapidly fading
away. Already nearly all the signatures
are entirely effaced and the rest cannot
last much longer without something is
done to restore the writing.
A rather trying but certain remedy
for sleeplessness at night, Is to jump out
Of bed in your night clothes, and walk
or your tip toes until thoroughly tired
and cooled of.
