Tom Thumbs Widow Married Again.
From the Boston Journal.
Tom Thumbs widow, who will not consent
to exhibit herself at museums now, passed
through the city few days ago. Seated in
an easy chair to reach the seat of which the
need of a cricket was absolutely necessary
the diminutive lady extended the hand of
welcome, and, with smile, shook her head
as her visitor gave greeting to Mrs. Charles
Stratton." mo longer Mrs. Stratton," she
said Il am now the Countess Magri and
this is my husband, the count" The gentle
man thus introduced was handsome little fell
low whose years and whose inches are almost
the same, for the crown of his head reaches
his age is but thirty-nine. Mrs. Stratton- Magrl
if the double appellation may be used, is forty
seven years old now, and she stands a head
that is to say, q lilliputian head-shorter than
her husband 1--WE were married only four
wears ago." she said, ''and notice that many
people still find it hard to separate my name
from the generals. He, poor man, passed
away six years ago."
