A MIXED QUARTET.
Four People Who Have Been Twice
Married

Four People Who Have Been Twice
Married.
The New York correspondent of the
Baltimore american tells the following
| strange story:
That truth is stranger than fiction has
been shown by the matrimonial entangle.
ments of R. S. Wood, of IS Exchange
Place, this city. In July, 1876, Mr.. Wood
was married to Miss Minnie Jensen. 81
Brooklyn. A child was born to them. but
lived only a short time. Mr. and Mrs
Wood did not live long together in peace
For some reason they began to quarrel
and finally settled matters by agreeing to
live apart. The husband also agreed to
pay the wife small sum weekly toward
her support. This arrangement, appar-
emily, was satisfactory to all concerned. till
one day Mrs. Wood called upon her nus
band at his Office. She informed him that
she was going to pay visit to her sister
in the South, and would never bother him
for further assistance.
No letters passed between the couple
during the period of separation but one
day Wood received a letter, supposed TO
have been written by his wife's sister, tell
ing the story of his lfe's death. Naturally,
he concluded that he was now a widower,
and entitled to remarry at any time He
did not remain long in single blessedness,
but was duly married several months ago
to another Brooklyn girl, under the belief
that he was violating no law, since his
first wife had died.
With the second wife Wood lived hap
PLY for a few weeks. Indeed, they are
still living together in happiness, although
the first wife has just returned from New
Orleans and confronted him with having
committed bigamy. Wood was dunn
founded when brought face to face with
the woman who, he supposed, had died
months ago.
To get out of this inverted Enoch Arden
predicament Wood was put to great
trouble. He promised to pay her 81 900
to hush up, and every week part of that
sum was sent to her at the general Post
office. But the second wife began to sus-
pect something, and Wood told the whole
story to his second wife. Urged on oy
Jealousy, Mrs. Wood No. began to search
for Mr.. Woods first wife. Curiously
enough, she was found to have been re-
married, and when Wood learned that, the
hush-money was stopped at once.
But the tangled lives did not end. even
here. the first Mrs. Wood had, without a
divorce from her first husband, married a
Mr.. Hurst. Inquiry was soon made about
this gentleman, and the affair was still
further complicated by the discovery of
the fact that Hurst had also another wife.
At this point, having found out that about
all of the parties interested, including two
husbands and two wives, were illegally
married, the investigation stopped. All
hands were willing to keep quiet.
But what disregard of marriage VOWS
may be observed In this remarkable COM
bination Incompatibility of temper was
not even offered in extenuation of their
acts, and we are treated to the spectacle of
new form of consecutive polygamy right
here in New York.
All of the members of this interesting
quartet give negative answer to the ia
miliar question: =" Is marriage failure ?'

A CONTRIBUTING. NOT As HONOR
AIRY. MEMBER.
A dispatch was sent out from Phi
ladelpbla at the time that Gen. Jos
eph +. Johnston, the highest living
ex-COnfederate officer, had on April
- applied and been admitted an hon
OraFy member Of +. d. Baker Post,
No. s, Grand Army Of the Republic,
Of that city. The election was said
10 have been brought about upon the
receipt Of the following letter:
"FOr the purpose Of enabling me
TO participate IN the noble work Of
charity performed Oy the comrades
OF the Grand Army Of the Republic,
! hereby make application for con-
tributing membership IN your post.
InclOsed please find the sum Of SO
for one years dues"
n will be seen from the letter that
the application was to become a con-
tribuing member, not an honorary
member.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
''The facts are there are no honorary
members In the G. A. r. and no pro-
vision for making them. General
Johnston can become "a contrlbut-
ing member" But no man who
served in the Confederate service is
eligible to membership in the G.. A.
r."
Gen. Johnston was one Of the Con-
federates who accepted the issues Of
the war in their fullness, showing that
when the struggle closed he was done.
Since that time he has lived the
life Of h good, loyal citizen, diseOur-
aging the embitteTments and chag-
rim that fostered opposition to recon-
-truction and protection to the col
ored people under the new order Of
things in the South.
The Grand Army WAS instituted
to perpetuate the brotherhood Of the
men who placed themselves in the
breach against their cOuntry's as
sailants, and hence is an organiza-
Albu VI AalN NfAN-NAAA anu AAUA VI AliN AN-
ture generation. The Grand Army
is a charitable not a political organi-
zatiOn. The sentiment expressed
by Gen. Johnston is one Ia be honor
ed. There can he no objection to
any one becoming a contributing
member when his application
breathes "A sympathy for the Organi-
latiOn and its most worthy cause.
We would advocate an horCrary de-
gree, in special cases, where "A person
had signalized his, or even her, de-
vOtion to the Union cause while not
having borne arms in defence during
the wal, hut those who have borne
arms against the government should
not be eligible to the degree. Meth
eT an honorary or contributing MEM
bership is admissible to the work
ing of the order.

For a long time various schemes have
been suggested to assist the glass
blower, whose occupation is q very
unhealthy one The machine that is
now in use in Germany not only assists
the blower. but abOlishes the cylinder
blowing altogether by means Of a roll
ing process A great difficulty has
been experienced in being able to roll
the glass thin enough so as to save
material and avoid expense in grind
ing it down to the desired thickness.
At the Besson works q series Of rollers
have been placed between the tank.

way to that in which sheet iron is
rolled. the molten glass is conducted

A remarkable watch which cost
$500, and was stolen from a CleVe-

by him. The watch was made to order
in Geneva and is thus described: The

exposed dial is q seeming forest Of
hands moving in every direction, while
within the circumference no less than
four smaller dials were to be counted.
The one at the head or beneath the
noon mark is tiny armament in lapis
lazuli. studded with golden stars As
the moon revolves in her course in the
heavens, a counterpart wheels this way
on the Watch's dial, showing every
change. Advancing around the next
dial is that showing the leap year. the
tiny band moving around the circum-
ference once in four years, and an
auxiliary showing each month. The
next dial is the subdivided second,
q hand splitting into quarters
and moving with corresponding
rapidity. Moving on this same dial 10
a hand showing the day Of the week.
On the next dial q hand points out the
standing of the tides rs it ebbs and

month. Around the watch dial moves
a second hand, dividing the minutes
into seconds. Besides the minute and
hour hands is still another, an extra
