Koyal, Rich, Ied Blood,' In this coantry we are all kings, and we are all entitled to have as ood blood as that which courses fimmgh the veins of emperors. There are princes and million. aires languishing in feebleness and broken-down bodily health who wotild be glad to have the strength of the humblest laboring man, And there are many people who arc neither kings, emperors, nor millionaires, whose blood is thin, vhose circulation is poor, who are suffering from lass (nr{n:mrl denility, and who know not the pleasure ofa hearty meal, nor the enjoyment of being able to do a good day’s work. If such people will put some iron into their blood, they will vitalize and enrich it. They can do this by the use of Brown’s Iron Bitters, the purest and most excellent iron med- icine ever made. Thousands who were weak, languid, pale, and pros- trated, are now happy to say that Brown’s Iron Bitters brought them up and gave them new life, b Heth is Wealth!

(3ALENA, Mo.,December 21.—For some time Nathan Massengale and Hiram Loomis, of White river, have been the most intimate of neighbors, and scarcely a night passed that they with their charming young spouses were not in each other’s company, They exchanged even- ings with each other at games of whist and chess and exchanged wives for part- ners. When they went to the theater one had the other's wife, and the most affectionate caresses secemingly could not ruffle the conjugal serenity. “Loomis, suppose we swap wives,” said Mr. Massengale one evening recent. ly while returning from a church soci- able. “That's a bargain. old man, and I'm in for it if the girls don't object,” and as he replied Mr. Loomis drow Mrs. Massen- gale’s arm closer into his and looked questioningly into her eyes that flashed back a confirmation of the low “‘yes” that escaped her lips. Yesterday the proposition was agreed upon by all hands, and Nathan gave over rs. Massengale and a few months’ old baby to boot in_trade for Mrs. Loomis, But Mrs, Loomies tried to take with her o horse and buggy which she claimed is her personal property. Loomis objected, and Mrs, Massengale murmured at his interference, alleging that at least the baby more than counterbalanced the valu of the turnout, “‘Take your baby back,” said the new Mrs. loomis to her former husband. Mr. Massengale drew a shotgun from the folds of his breakfast coat and blazed away, narrowly making a widow of his very uncertain things, but |M; [MANY WIVES AND MILLIONS. Only One of the Late I. M. Singer's Families Yet Unpaid, The Young Children by the Late Mrs. Singer Living on'Allowances and Only One Nearly of Age—-The Inventor's Strange History. Mr. David Hawley, a tall, slender. white-haired man, brought to Mr. W. M Skinner, clerk of the Surrogate’s court of Westchester, in White Plains, yesterday, a bundle of what looked like legal papers. They were full of figures, and among them were sums six, seven, and eight numerals in length. They were Mr. Hawley's accounts and report of his work as exccutor of the will of Isaac M. Singer, inventor, millionaire, father of twenty- four children, and head of five separate families. Because he must await a deci- sion of the court of appeals in a matter of commissions and costs. Mr. Hawley was unable to file the papersand their contents are not yet made public. Mr. Singer's estate was inventoried at about $8,000,000, but it proved to amount to about twice that sum., Mr, Singer was a poor man when he first intrusted his_confidential business to Mr. Hawley, and he continued to repose the utmost confidence in him until he died, when he left to him the settlement of his vast es- tate. Mr. Hawley has never given secur- ity for the faithful performance of his task. He could not, and there are not many persons in the country who could, but there has been no complaint that he has not done his work faithfully and shrewdly. All the heirs have been paid except tho children of the last Mrs.- Singer. She had six children, and all ex cept one are living with her in Paris, That one, Adam Mortimer Singer, will soon become of age, and may reach here on any day in the near future to claim his share, % Mr. Singer was born in Schaghticoke in this state, and in early manhood lived from hand to mouth asa wood turner and general mechanic. In 1830 he was mar- ried by a country squire to Miss Catha- rine N. Haley. His first child was born in 1834, Then they lived in Waterloo, and he was a shiftless fellow, capable of turning his hard to any sort of work, but not doing well at anything. He was given to consorting with other women be- sides his wife, and gave evidence of being a natural-born actor, able to imitate any living thing he had ever heard or seen. In 1837 a child was born to them in this city, and from here he started out asa strolling player: From the stage on which he was performing in Baltimore one night he saw a very beautiful young woman, 18 years old. He became en- . | amored of her, sought her father's house, introduced himself, proposed in time,and was accepted. This was Mary "Ann Sponsler, wifo or companion number two. Singer hurried to New York to get wife number one and her family out of the way, and he and she quarrelled and separated. He brought ary Ann Sponsler to this city, and when she insisted that he muet marry her he told her that he was in trouble with another woman; that he had just fimundfl for a divorce, and after he got it e would have their relationship legal- ized. Miss Sponsler had tosharea great deal of poverty with him, even more, in- eed, than Mrs. Singer had endured. Miss Sponsler took lessons to fit herself for the stage, and with her husband, un- der the names of Mr. and Mrs. Merritt, plaged temperance pieces in churches all over the country. For thirteen years they followed this life, She called hlm “father,” and he called her ‘*‘wife.” They were wretchedly poor. Eveeything they had in the world was in the one-horse wagon in which they wandered about, and time and time again they had to pawn than and its contents, and their horse to get food. While they were in Chieago he invented .a reaping machine, and later on a machine for carving type. He began to have money in conse- quence. ' In 1850 he had completed the inventions that make up the Singer sewing machine, from which he was in time to accumulate the colossal fortune he left behind him. Again he came to New York, and this time it was to set up a stylish establishment at No. 14 Pifth avenue. The first and only true Mrs. Singer acems to have been for- getten. She was living in *Brooklyn. Number two was everywhere regarded as the inventor's wife. Nice people visited the house. Her visiting cards and invi- tations to parties that she gave bore the name of Mrs. I, M. Singer. She ordered goods at the dry goods and other stores as Mrs, Singer, and Mr. Singer paid the bills, She and her companion visited her people in Baltimore as man and wife, and o registered whenever they stopped in hotels. She bore him ten children. Catharme Haley had borne him two children. He used to boast that ;boys and girls came alternately with bim. He had a huge and gaudy vehicle capable of seating twenty-five persons, and in this, original wife, and Mr, Loomis, drawing a Remington from his smoking-jacket, also narrowly escaped making an orphan of the disputed child.

In 1800, twenty-four years after he had left his first companion of his poverty, Mrs, Catharine Haley Singer, he gota divorce from her. Singer led a fast life in those days, and was very frequently seen on the avenue in company with women whom Miss Sponsler's friends were not acquainted with, Seven monthsafter he was divorced Miss Sponsler, riding in her own carriage, saw him i« his carriage with Mary Ann McGionical. She screamed until he saw her. Ho came home and beat her and she had him arrosted, Then he went to Europe, and in the year that he was away the fact was revealed that he had been living with two other women in this city who thought themselves his only companions at the aame timo that he was getting his divorce from his first wife and calling Mary Ann Sponsler his second one. Mary MoGonigal, for instance, had borne him five children. He and she lived together as Mr. and Mrs Mathews. Miss Mary E. Walter, who lived with him under the name of Morritt, had added one other child to the list. Mary Ann Sponsler began a suit for divorce and was awarded $8,000 alimony—then the larg- est amount ever obtained. Singer tried to compromise with her, She accepted a round sum of money and the valuable house 180 West Twenty-eighth street. But within a month after she was di- vorced she had secreily married John E. Fostor, She hurt herself by & fall from a chair, und believing hq fto be dying, told one of her dauzhters of the mar- riage. Her daughter's husband, a Mr. Proctor, wna an officer of lth‘u Sinfi ‘;::"t . Mr. Singer speedily learned abou! my'odding “;‘nd ca the divorced wife to relinquish all claims upon him, and to vagate the house in Twenty-cighth street, for which he had not given a deed to her. She went to live with Foster Number five next appeared. She was a French woman whom he had met abroad. On June 13, 1865, seven weeks after number two had renounced her claims upon him, he was married in this city to Isabelle Eugenie Boyer, under the name of Isabelle E. Summerville, and with her went to Paris to live. He caused to be built in Yonkers a palatial home in a great park, and when it was finished returned to this city, and invited hundreds to the house warming. The public knew of his complicated family af. fairs, however, and but few went to the house. In 1873 he resolved to live abroad, He bought a nobleman's fine estate in Oldtown, Paignton, Devonshire, England, and began the construction of an enormous castle, to be called ‘‘the wigwn 1 " and to contain a theatre, riding hall, vunqueting halls, and all the con- veniencel hismoney commanded. 1t was not finished when, in July, 1875, he died on that estate. These were the families he left behind him: By Mrs, Catharine Haley Singer (theme. chanic's wife): William A. Singer, Lillian C, Singer. By Mary Ann Sponsler (the actor's wife): Tsanc Augustus, Voulettie Theresa. n Albert. anny Elizabeth. Jasper Hamet, Mary Olive. Julia Ann. Caroline Virginia, Two others died. By Mrs. Mathows (the wife under an ns- sumed name): Florence A. Mathews. Mary A. Mathews, Charles A, Mathews. Two others died. By Mrs. Merritt (the wife under his middle nnme}‘: fiss Alice Merritt, afterward Mrs. La- grove. By Mrs. Isabelle Eugenie Singer (the third legal wife): Adam Mortimer. Winnaretta Eugenie. Washington Merritt Grant, Paris Eugene, Isabella Blanche, Franklin Morse. These last are the only ones not paid. They will get their money as fast as they come of age. Their mother married a baron in Paris, and he has since become the Duke de Camposelice. By marrying she lost her life interest in the English estate which was then valued at §5,000,- 000, and is now worth a great deal more. She has had to give up the castle and poark at Paignton. She had about 5,000 shares of Singer stock, however, which is paying 40 per cent. and is worth about a million and a half of dollars. All aer children, except the eldest, live in Paris with her. He has left her, and lives in England in princely style. The others draw upon Mr. Hawley as they need money. They have their own horses and carriages, and tutors and servants. They are worth $1,500,000 each. Mr. Singer’s will was contested by Murs. Sponsler Singer,who proved a mar- riage with Singer from tho time he was sho married Forster—a period of less than one year. This made her last child, All the other children by her thus became illegitimate. Her eight childrenreceived 1,750,000, but shegot only a small sum for the liquidation of the costs of the suit. Mrs. Mathews's five children re- ceived about $1,750,000. Mrs. Meritt’s child got about $400,000. Of the chil- dren of Mrs. Catharine Haley Singer, the first wife, one got §500 and one $10,000. The estate was largely composed of Singer company stock, and has about doubled in value. The last wife was the only one to whom a legacy was left. Do Not Move Blindly.

In a Bessarabian province lives one Savtchuk, who at last accounts was 130 years ole. Heis what is called a little Russian by birth. His eldest son is 87 years old, and 1s far more decrepit than the father. The one family has mu plied into 50 families, The age of this Russian is, of course, not as well authen- ticated as that of eld Parr, the Hnglish- man, Ithas been noted that reported |; cases of extreme old age always occur in the ranks of the very poor, whose date of birth can rarely be verified, whilo kings nobles and members of the noted families whose records are kept, in no age or country have ever lived 100 years. Generalizing from this fact, a distingnished English writer, Mr. Lewes, gives it as his judgment that 1t is very doubtful if any human being can claim the distinction of being a centenarian. Yet from the analogy of the animal races, every child that is well born shouldilive century. The rule seems to be that animals live five times the length of their adolescence, that is, they ought to- live five times longer than the period it takes to attain their full growth.
