DESCENDANTS OF LUTHER.
The fourth centenary of Luther brings to '[■? light tho fact that in an obscure Thnringian 'v! village there survive two male descendants of ' Martin Luther. One is a carpenter at KlosterAUendorf, and the other is a theological student at the University of Jena. Their line |t'| of lineage is traced directly, though it would be hard to define their precise kinship with j the reformer. Each of the members of the Luther family enjoys, by virtue of their ancestor, a right to receive at his confirmation 50 thalers, on his apprenticeship to any trade or profession a second 50 thalers, and at his marriage a third 50 thalers. It is worth their while to marry, apparently.
