An American sea captain has made a
discovery of Il guano island in the Pacific

Rich Legacies.

The Syracuse Standard says that two
enterprising young merchants of that
city, Messrs. Morris and Gardiner, who
keep a variety store, have recently re-
ceiYed intelligence that they are heirs in
the direct line to a large amount of money
and property in England. The whole
amount is about fifty millions of pounds
sterling. and it is believed there are not
more than two hundred descendants to
claim a share, giving each person more
than half a million of dollars. An emf
nent lawyer in New York has been en-
gagged for some time past, in investigating
the claim, and it is understood hat the
matter IS now near It's conclusion.
Il is said that Mrs. JOHN Tyler, who
was a Gardner, is one of tie heirs to this
immense estate. Think of John Tyler
being accidentally President Of the United
States, accidentally marrying n of the

into the hands of Messrs. Geo. willard,
A. Hendry and H. L. Morrison. The

~, this gentleman says:
We shall strive TO pursue m even,
conservative course TO aid in cre citing
healthy, moral, social and political en-
timent, which shall serve to strengthen.
rather than diminish the stability OF our
present form of Government. Urged on
by love of country, we shall hesitate
long before we give u consent to any
scheme that will tend to its overthrow,
or even to weaken any of its political
bonds.
While we welcome Mr.. H. to the edi-
torial fraternal. and wish him abundant
success, pecuniaIily, we shall wait for
something a little more definite than the
remarks we have quoted, before wishing
him success, politically.
