Infntunted with Greece.

Dr. Schliemann is said to be infatuated
with old Greece, and wants nothing that
is not Grecian about him. Even his ser
wants have Greek names, and these he
never changes, though the men may be
different. His wife is Greek. She is
nearly a generation younger than her
husband, and she was girl studying at
the great female school of Athen, known
as the Arsakion, when Schliemann met
her. She was the best student in her
class, and when the learned doctor found
that she knew the Iliad by
heart, the gossips Of Athens say that he
straightway proposed. She was beauti-
full, however, as well as learned She Is
said to be as fond Of Greek as her hus-
band, and at a children's fancy ball not
long ago her daughter wore dress like
those shown in some Of the figures dis
covered in the excavations of Troy. DR..
Schliemann is quite wealthy, and IL is
said that he owns property in different
parts of the United States. He has two
pretty children, girl named Andromache,
and little boy who has the name OF
Agamemnon.
