LOTTERY FOR A HUSBAND
A MATRIMONIAL IDEA l-’ROAI HUNGARY BUDAPEST. st.li 'September. The ‘‘Bmlapesti Jlirlap,” one of the sol icier. daily pajiers.. has received an astonishing proposal from a. young man who’testihes to the genuineness of'his letter by tlie signatures of two witnesses. After stating liis age, occupation, address, and religion, the writer announces his intention of marrying, and asks the. “.Budapesti llirlap” to issue ten thousand lottery tickets at two Pengos each, which may ho bought by women (physical deformities not. excluded) in want of a husband. The writer offers the editorial office five hundred Pengo for the expenses, and an additional honorarium of five hundred Pengo.
The paper points out that the idea is a practical one, as, in addition to a wife, the writer wins twenty thousand Pengo. This profitable manner of raffling oneself has apparently only one obstacle —that no newspaper will consent. to issue the tickets!
