A POLYANDRIO DAMSEL.

r T*|,o Bulletin mem y writes : There are a good m*hy w ya to nifko m mey. One of them is to be a fasting man >n a cheap show ; and another is to run i> cannibal expedition in Africa, and then come bach and lecture about the performance ; and a third is to ba a laud-boomer, and set! an inaccessible mountain top to a building ajciety. But a lady in Maorilanp has improved on these old methods oimaiderab'y. She published an advertisement setting forth that a dark-haired and truly sffec'ionate maiden of 18, with bright eyes and private income, desired the acquaintance of a good-looking gentleman for the usual purpose, and 22 individuals at once concluded that she was some weatbly squatter’s daughter who wanted lo elope, and wrote stating that they were the sort of persons required. Then she sent them the photo of an angel with " rosebud mouth, and asked for enough money to pay her passage to town, as her property was still in the bands of her trustees. Ten of the crowd backed out of the crisis, but the other twelve sent the coin, and made 12 separata appointment at the railway station, where, unhappily, the dark haired creators with •thb large private income altogether failed to turn up. In fact, she never turned up, but enquiries are being made at the postoffice to which the money had been sent, it transpired that the orders bad all been cashed by an elderly person with a face like a bidden crime, and that she had promptly left the district with the loot. The story closes just here.
