WINE WORTH $4,000 DRoP.-The
city of Bremen possesses twelve hogsheads
of what, according to certain calculations
undertaken by the Nicue Freie Presse,
must be the most expensive beverage in
the world. The town, purchased i'll 1924
twelve hogsheads of Rudesheimer at three
hundred gold thalers each. These were
placed in the municipal cellars, where
they still remain. ct the end Of next year
these hogheads viii be 25O years old, and
will, reckoning interest on the original
price at five per cent, have cost 700, $780,
COO Prussian thalers- The waste of wine
from evaporation is always estimated at
five per cent. per annmn there remain
consequently, only 465 bottles of the ori-
ginal supply. This annual loss has been
made up by means of old wine found in
the cellar. Calculating the price of Il bot
tie of this wine at one thaler only, the
216, 900 bottles which will have been TINS
added 10y the end of 1874, will be worth
3,427, 100000 thalers, granting the same
rate of interest, five per cent. At the end
of next year the twelve hogsheads thus re-
plenished will have cost 4. 3l8, 500, 900 thai
ers, giving an average OF pa, 232 thalers
per bottle. The hogsheads are not, how
ever, all of the same value. They are filed
up on n system by which the wine added
must, in course of time, pass through al
Che eleven hogsheads before reaching the
last, which contains the Oldest and most
precious liquid, each drop of which, reck-
Oning bottle at ,00G drops, is now worth
56, 200 thalers.

A Sad Sfory-The Wages of Sim is
EeA9fEp

A great deal Of feeling has been created
in North Carolina by the suicide in Orange
county Of Mrs. VIM. Murray. who had for.
ually been belle in society. She was a
wealthy widow and the mother of four chill
dren. A letter from the neighborhood gives
the following account of her death ::
Three years ago William Murray died,
and his young widow, we'll to do, and living
in nice home, has worn the weeds, and on
more than one occasion has spoken in ten
derncss and affection of "her poor Willie"
But she had man named VIM. R. White,
from Person County, cropping on her land
and managing her affairs. White was a
low bred fellow and married man, but be
was good looking For sometime an init.
macy had been hinted in the neighborhood
between the young widow and this man
White. His own wife linked her tongue to
the scandal and his sister talked openly
Last TtursdaSsweek old aunt Ibbie Vincent
an old negro woman, went over to widow
Murray's, and as she entered the house, the
widow leaned her hand on her shoulder aud
supported herself to the parlor romarking !:
Aunt lbbie, am ruined woman" She
then revealed her delicate condition to the
old negro. That very night an abortion was
produced.
The crime leaked out and there was talk
Of arresting the parties for murder. This
preyed on the widows mind and several
times she was heard to threaten her own life.
Some of tae neighl OFFS watched her by turns
to prevent mischief. Last Friday night
Mr.. David Clark was at her house, aud she
LETT him and went up stairs, and he feared
some evil and followed her She met him
at the top Of the stairs and motion
ed him back with both arms, she ex-
claimed, eff you knew all about nae you
wouldn't remain in this house." He asked
her the matter and she told lin "that dirty
devil White had complete control of me and
has ruined me- On Saturday night last
she aroused an old negro man on the place
and told him to ride over to her fathers ill.,
law and tell them III to come over Sunday
morning and take charge OF her children -.
He did so, aud got back an hour before day
when he found his mistress in dark calico
dress, the lamp burning brightly in the
room, and she was hanging Dead suspended

the country. The doctor that prescribed
the medicine is as yet unknown. but susp

But there is doctor suspec "a. All efforts
will be made to have White arrested This
widow was in bad health, was consumpiye,
and had frequent bemorrhages. l forgot
to state that she attempted to cut her throat
the other day with case knife. Her for

NApoLEoN's FoRTuNE.-Louis Nsnoleo,

NApoLEoN's FoRTUNE.-Louis Napoleon ;
private estate amounts to $4,000, 000.-
Nobody at all familiar with his opportu-
mites for making money ever credited
the yarns about his property. When
ever he waited to tara an honest
penny, he housed himself at the Tuileries
and let the report go forth that he was ill.
The Paris Bourse responded at once, like a
fine chord to the touch of master. Stocks
tumbled, and His Majesty's agents bought.
In the spring Of 1867 an American specula
tor made over two hundred thousand francs
on an intimation of the Emperor's approach
ing "indisposition. There was no chance
for Louis Napoleon to die very poor.
