HIS 900 ANXIOUS WIVES.
Should the Ameer Of Afghanistan Dis
They Would All He Shot.

6nOulO tho Ameer OF Afxn0nl0t0n DId
They Would All he Shot.
There is a certain village in the
midlands where the illness OF the
Ameer OF Afghanistan has been foil W.
ed with painful anxiety. The reason
is to be found in the following curious
but | believe perfectly authentic story;
Some yea ago an e%nterprising young
tailor left the village in question AMI
went abroad to seek his fortune. He
eventually found his way to Cahal.
Eere great luck awaited him. He OBJ.
tanned the patronage OF roya,ty and
be anne the Poole Of Afghanistan. lic
had left u sweetheart behind in En-.
gland, and as o as he found himself
on the road to fortune he sent for the
dams sci to Join him. She came, bat
he Q fortune desc ted the tailor. Hi.
intenaed bride in her turn obtained
the atronage OF roya't y, with the re,
salt tina she eventually became II oil
the 30J wives of Abdurrahlnan.
This, however, i, onl the first act oil
tho tragedy. 1t is understood by the
laws of Afghanistan when the Ameer
dies the whole of Is 800 wives mu t be
shot. The laws Of the Afghan, are as
immutable as those of their ancien.
neighbors, the Modes ard Persians,
and the whole of the little midland
vii age, where the Ameer's ] nglish
wife was born and where Ter parents
are still living, has been during the
last week or so in q high state of ex-
element over the possible fate of tho
young lady. For unately, the Ameel
seems better now. an it is to be hoped,
if only for the sake OF his wives, what
ever their ma i nality, that the i'm
provement may continue. In the
meantime, cannot diplomacy do any
thing for The young woman AT this
tim of life and with a equity habit tc
boot l should have thought Abdurrah'
man might have been induced to get
along with 299 of them. If, however
he must have q round number in tie
family circle, perhaps al exchange
might be negotiated.
