A STRANGE STQEY.
Reappearance of a Long-Lost Husband,
His Wife, After Waiting Several Years
Marrries a JIan Named Schultz.
Fourteen years ago this very
month, says the S.F.CAronicle of the
bth, a young and handsome sea
man met at a dance given by his
friends, a lady, blonde and pretty,
whom he wooed and won as his
bride.
A comfortable little home at
North Beach was furnished, and
after a briet honeymoon the bride
groom returned to his post of duty.
He was employed as chief mate on
board of a vessel trading between
San Francisco and Portland, Or.
The vessel made regular trips and
upon each recurrent day of her ar
rival the young wife was on tbe
wharf awaiting her husband. To
gether they would go to their little
home and enjoy each other s com
pany during the interval elapsing
between the vessels arrival and ue
parture.
For three years this domestic fe
licity endured, and their union was
blessed with a lovely, flaxen-haired
little girl. During this time the
chief mate had been promoted and
became entitled to be saluted as
Captain Robert Edmunds.
One sailing day the captain bade
adieu to his wife, and left on his
journey to the Webfoot state. The
day for his ship's arrival in port
came round, but no sirrn of the
vessel appeared. With womanly
patience the wife waited until to
ward the evening, when a ring at
the house-door summoned tier.
There she found a messenger boy
bearing that yellow envelope that
to often covers a message of life or
death, hope or despair. With
misgivings and tear-bedimmed
eyes she tore open the dispatch
and read: "Your hasband
and crew of the vessel lost at sea."
The shock to her nervous system
was great, and for many days she
hovered between life and death.
Time elapsed and still the young
wife, hoping against hope, waited
for the ship that never returned.
Her somber widow s garb set off
her attractive face, and many were
the suitors that proposed marriage.
Time, that conquers all grief, at
length asserted its way, and one
fine day, after three-years' widow
hood, .Mrs. Edmunds consenteilto
change her name for that
of Mrs. Schultz. Eight years pass
by bringing this story to the
present period. The festivities of
the new year were in progress at
the Schuitz residence when they
were suddenly inteirttpted by a
rude shock. This occurrence was
the appearance at the house of
Captain Edmunds in the sound
and solid flesh. No seaweed tan
gled his locks, neither were his
garments in any way indicative of
a long sojourn under the sea.
There in the. doorway stood hus
band No. 1, and confronting him
like one in a dream stood Mrs.
Schultz.
Recognition was mutual, al
though time had silvered the cap
tain's locks and his face was some
what bronzed, while his erstwhile
wife, beyond looking somewhat
moro matronly than before", had
scarcely changed in appearance.
After introducing husband No.
1 to husband No. 2, the ladv re
tired to cogitate irpon her fate.
Beyid learning that Captain
Edmnnds had been rescued from
a watery grave by a vessel bound
from British Columbia to Europe,
ana tnat upon his return to the
United States he went back to
Oregon, settled on some timber
lands and after many years ac
quired a large fortune, which he
now enjoys, the wife could glean
nothing. from Mr. Schultz as to
what passed at the interview.
Loud and angry words were ex
changed, and Capt. Edmunds left
the house swearing to have his
wife again.
Mrs. Schultz at first was inclined
to go back to her maiden choice,
but the thought of her four chil
dren by her second marriage de
terred her from taking the step.
She wrote to Sacramento where
Captain Edmunds is visiting some
relatives, offering to let his daugh
ter, who is now nearly thirteen
years old, go to him, and begging
him for the sake of their old love
to forget and forgive all that had
passed. Up to the present time
Mrs. Schultz has received no reply
to her letter. Legal authorities
consulted by Mrs. Schultz are of
the opinion that Captain Edmunds
has by reason of his long absence,
forfeited any pretension or claim
to resume marital relations with
his first love.
An American Consul on Indian Wheat.
Mr. Bonham, the United States
consul general in Calcutta, in a re
port on the trade of British India
for the past year, refers to the
enoimous increase in recent years
of the import of Indian wheat to
Great Britain, and observes that
the subject to American farmers
has led him to discuss it fully. He
does not agree with some of his
predecessors who thought that the
United States had nothing to fear
from India as a competitor in the
production of wheat. He believes
that India is to-day second only to
the United States in the quantity
pro duced. Nor does he agree with
some recent speakers in this coun
try who have argued that, owing
to the habits of Indian agricultur
ists and their indisposition to move
from the lands to which they are
accustomed, it is unlikely that the
area of land under wheat cultiva
tion will increase largely. Mr.
Bonham thinks there is no doubt
that wheat-growing in India is yet
in its infancy and that its further
development depends principally
upon the means of transporta
tion to the seaboard. Twelve thou
sand miles of railway exist in
India, and the average annual rate
of construction during the past
five years has been GG2 miles.
"The government of Great Britain
is not content with being the great
public carrier of the world, but
she seems of late years to be pos
sesscd of a laudable ambition to
produce her own breadstuff's as
well, and I fear, however unpleas
ant it may be to contemplate the
fact, that with the cheap native
labor of India, and the constantly
growing facilities for transporta
tion, wf shall find her h formidable
competitor as a producer of the
'staff of life.' " Moreover. Indian
surplus wheat is now brought to
Em ope in steamships through the
Suez cajial in three or four weeks,
instead of soing, as formerly, in
sailiiig vi'Ssels around the cape, tn-
olviiig a voyage of three or four
nioiitl s anil often material damage
to tin; uargo from weevil. Mr.
Bonham regards the competition
from Indian wheat as likelv to
rrrtttr i,nrA ...trl mnrn tm . ...i .i.t.l
i. muti .1114 lili'i i . rj null
the cultivation in India is likely tu
increase considerably.

Would Pay for the Trouble.
Miss C, a laughter-loving, good
natured lass, was spending an af
ternoon with a neighbor near
Bridgeport, Conn., and during
supper the conversation turned to
eggs, etc., when Miss C. observed
that "their hens did not lay scarce
ly any eggs, and she couldn't givo
any reason lor it." 'Why," ob
served Mr. P., "mv hens lay very
well; I go ont among them almost
every day and get eggs." "My
giacious!" was the instant rejoin
der, "I wish you would come over
to our house and go among our
hens a spell; I'm sure father would
pay you well for your trouble."
