A. Fortune for Four Wives.

Ambitious of raising healthy and beautiful
offspring but uncertain of success and difficult
as to the choice of nationality, Greek mer-
chant in the city of New York decided to
marry four women and did so. He selected
an Englishwoman, a Spaniard, a German and
French. In order to prevent any claim of
priority among them the marriage ceremonies
were all performed on the same day, the 10th
of November, 1870, and in different rooms of
the hotel where the marrying Greek had
rooms, having previously advised the blushing
brides that important business necessitated
his leaving the city for a couple of
weeks The pretended "absence on bust
ness was well employed in the DISPOSE
ton of the necessary arrangements for
housekeeping, and one after the other of his
wives were duly installed in separate estab-
lishments, of course each under another
name, none of them under his real one. FIRE.
quent 'business trips" had to be made among
the wives, hence the lord and husband
always had three Of them believe him to be
on business trip, while enjoying the home
comforts of number four, continually chang
ing base. For twelve years he pursued this
course, and during all that time he managed
to appear to his male acquaintance as jolly
bachelor. short time ago he died leaving
fortune of ST., zoe, 900 which, according to a
will, is to be equally divided among the four
widows who now shed 5000, 900 tears in his
memory.

Interchange.

Sweet child of the snOwdrift, so tenderly
simple,
So tearfully sunny, so mOdestly gay,
Whose frown in a moment gives place TO a
dmple
Whose smiles and whose tears meet in magical
way,
why bringest thou blossoms my gateway to
garland? .
Why spreadest verdurous sheen at my feet!
Why makest the meadows II marvellous star
land,
My coming with undisguiscd rapture to
greet?"
so, Juno-like Summer, yet couched on thy
roses,
Whose sweet-scented crimson awaits thee to
fold,
! come from the bloom that the apple dscloses
To fetch thee from Winter thy heirloom OF
gold,
He made me the cradle in which lay covered
Thy soft southern breath blew the cover
away;
behind me, before me, love ever has lowered,
And loves reciprocal law but obey.

Women in Pharmacy.

From the St. Louis Evening Chronicle.
Louisville and other cities having recog-
nized woman's especial fitness at the prescrip-
ton counter, would it not be well for some ST.
Louis pharmacist to make the experiment.
With all our drug stores, one on nearly every
corner, there has not yet been woman en-
ployed in them except for mental duties. The
work in a pharmacy is tight and easy, and
skillful, delicate manipulation is required
rather than muscle. 1t is an especially desi-
rable position for retiring, intelligent women,
who want as little publicity in their work as
possible.

goods house, and is u large closed ono of rec
tangular shape. In the inside, running
around the sides, are two shelves upon which
the bundles are placed. In tho center
of the wagon is seat for the
their destination. The boy arranges the bun
dies in order, and as soon as the wagon stops
he has the bundle ready to hand out to the
driver, who delivers it. The wagon is painted

If the defendant had not gone upon the
stand what had been said before that com
mittee could not be used in evidence against
him. He was here as witness, and it would
be q remarkable thing that defendant vol
unteerinp as a witness should be allowed to

fcndaut. The court would therefore allow
the inquiry.
A general exception was noted by the de-
Tense.

upon the record of the testimony before the

broken or defaced without permission in
writing, duly obtained, and issued by the

at the gas company, and, although commits
sioner said that it was not, it is easily seen
that the deadlock between the commissioners

termined turn.

he brought with him the report of the re-
firing board appointed TO examine members
