A NOBLE Acr.-The heirs of the late Augustus E.
Jessup, of Philadelphia, have performed act
which is very extraordinary in these days of con-
tested wills. They have written letter to DR..
Lea President of the Academy Of Natural
Sciences, to say that it was the intention of their
father to bequeath legacy to that institutions but
that, no provision to that effect having been made
in his will, they take pleasure in guaranteeing the
payment of an annual amount OF 5000 in further
ance of his expressed DESIRE The letter bears the
signatures Of A. +. Jessup, L. A. Jessup, and Clara
J. Moore. 1t is generous act and a good exam
pie; especially as four-ifths of the sum named is
set apart for the relief of poor young students in

OFFICIAL SwINDLING.-We think, on the whole,
official swndng in Austria is little more system
attic and scientific than it has yet become in this
country letter in the London Times mentions
a very curious mode by which army contractors
plundered the Government. They agreed to de-
liver cattle at so much head in Mantua. The
cattle were driven in at one gate and counted, -
driven through the town, out at another gate and
around the city to the first gate, where they were
counted again,-and on until the same cattle had
actually been counted fire times The contractors
also sold the hides but unfortunately they could
only deliver the hides of one,ffth as many cattle as
they had received pay for from the Government

The TEACHINGS OF GEoLoGY.-Before the atten-
ton of the world had been directed to gold discov
cries in California and Australia, Sir Roderick
Murchison, when addressing the Royal Geological
Society of Cornwall, strongly recommended the
unemployed Cornish miners to cmigrate to New
South Wales, and dig for gold in the debris and
drift of what he called the Australia Cordillera,
where he anticipated, from their similarity with
the Ural Mountains, that it would be found i'll
abundance. This eminent geoogist had no other
guidance in this matter than his own sagacious de
ductions from geological facts, yet he boldly pre-
dictpd the truth

that the employees doing what they can in the

but that she didn't like him very we'll At this the
Yankee handed her like amount, and then placing
forty dollars more with it, remarked "There's HI,
forty dollars and Pll 60 forty better" The young
lady could resist no longer, and taking the money

and married the Yankee within an hour, we'll

A SAD CAsE.-At the morning prayer meeting in
the Old South Chapel, in Boston, on Wednesday
morning last, gentleman made statement of
sad case of gambling and suicide which occurred
on board the steamer Empire State the night be-
fore. A party of men who appeared to be profes
sonal gamblers playing cards in the cabin,
and urging the bystanders to bet upon the cards
They induced one gentleman, who had been appa-
renty interested in the game to put down $40, and
by turn of the cards it swept into the gam
bler's pocket. The loser appeared to be much agi-
tated, and was seen soon after to go out on the
deck, and in few moments afterward man who
was supposed to be him jumped overheard and was
lost. His name not known. 1t is supposed
that the chagrin and modification which filled his
mind when he came to reflect how fooishly he had
lost his money, led him to commit the act. The
occurrence should warn all honest men not to put
themselves in the power of the sharpers who infest
the lines of public travel.

Attorney General Black intends prosecuting Mr..
Schnabel on the charge of perjury, growing out of
his testimony before the CovOde Committee. His
most intimate friends say he distinctly admitted the
existence of the Presidents letter as recently pub
