The Law of Descent of Property.

At the recent term of the United States
Circuit Court for Rhode Island. in the case
of Cole ct ux ct al VS. John S. Battey ct al.
the Coult sustained the position taken by de
PENDANTS counsel at the hearing. The report
of the Providence Journal says:
Following a decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States, Justice Curtis held i'll
this case that within the intent of the Rhode
Island statute Of descent, two persons are of
the blood of each other, if they have respec-
lively the blood of common ancestry, aad
that therefore the father of A may be said to
be of the blood Of 4, because a and his faith
er have each the blood of the fathers father,
the grandfather of A. Also in aecordaucs
with the same decision, he held that in deter
mining the descent of an ancestral estate
under our statute, the Court is to go back
only to the ancestor immediately preceding
the intestate, and not to any ancestor more
remote, from whom the estate may have orl-
gnalIy come into the family. And further,
the Court held that the Rhode Island canons
Of descent, which give a grandfather prece-
dence to uncles and aunts, apply as well to
ancestral estates as to those acquired by al
intestate.
She result cf the Courts ruling may be
thus stated: Upon the death of grandchild,
without children, intestate, his grandfather
will take the ancestral estate, rather than the
uneles and aunts, though the estate came into
the family through the grand maternal branch,
the wife of the grandfather.

r. 4ha last fira or six years Nioaraugua
.na N;c.ranpuan affairs have been prolific
...t,;aots far con.ment and discussion with die
.Iag,ss;s,s and journalists on both sides of the
sIsnt;e The late revolution in that little
ran,bl;o has brought the name Of Nicaragua
at.Il more conspicuously before newspaper rea-
ders and has excited much diversity of opin-
ion as to the policy, object, and premanency
of the new government; and, In connexiou
with these things. we find publicity given to
statements which are calculated to mislead the
public It is stated that Nicaraugua contains
a white population of only 10000 persons.
This is an error. A census of the republic
was taken in the year 1915. which is the Ia
test source of information on the subject Ac-
cordng to it, the population was then 264.
600 of whom %, 000 were set down white,
Is. 600 negroes, so 600 Indians, and $50 .00U
of mixed race, composed Of the negro, lndi-
an and Spanish, with the Indian greatly pre-
dominating The principal towns were Leon,
containing 30, GOO inhabitants; Masaya, Is,
600; Managua 10000; Chinandega, II,
600: Granada, 10000; Segevia. 5000, and
Rivas, 5000.
The birthplace of Colonel Walker. the sue
ccsstul leader Of the late revolution. and who
may justly be regarded as the supreme head
of the new government, Is also incorrectly as
signed This now famous parsonage is ma
tive of Nashville, Tennessee. where he success
sively went through a course of studies for
the practice both of law and medicine, which
proved to be the prelude to his introduction
to the editorial chair. He was for some time
connected with the press of New Orleans.
and after his removal to California, several
months, we believe. elapsed before he exchan-
ged the pen for the sword. His subsequent
career s now part of the history OF the

Indian Wars in Oregon and Washington
Territories.

The Indians have become very troublesome
and hostile N these two territories. They
are said to be well armed, and they have ex-
hibited degree of courage and daring which
was rot expected. They have already COM
miIted great many ontrages and massacres.
and there is, therefore, no alternative but to
give them good drubbing. Nothing else
will bring them to their senses Three hum
dred United States troops are now III the field,
and about nine hundred volunteers have
turned out to assist them. There is deter
animation to bring the sayages to snbjectlon by
the Severest measures.
IN portions of Northern California,
also, the '' Redskins have been very trouble
some, and have committed some atrocous
murders of men, women, and children; but
they have reused spirit of vengeance in the
whites, which will not rest until they have
made bloody reckoning with their savage
and ruthless enemies
