QuARRELLING FOR BRoDEEIcks ESTATE -
After a year and more of litigation concern
ing the estate left by the late Senator Brod-
erick, after it was supposed the matter had
been settled, it appears there is to be new
contest over what is considered rich prize,
but which wili probably now mostly fall into
the hands Of the lawyers, as the expenses
are likely to use up neorly, if not quite The
whole property. The finding the will in New
York has always looked mysterious; the
more so as he made no aluson to it in his
dying moments TO his nearest and dearest
friends nor is the character of the parties
for whose benefit the will appears to have
been made, such as to.give additional conf
dence, is so much needed to overcome suspi-
cions which naturally arise in case in itself
so hard to account for 1t would not be al
all surprising if the will should be set aside
after all, and the heirs get what is left if, in
deed, anything is left at the end of the suits
now in progress The suit just now begun
is brought by the relatives and heirs Of Mr..

Who bade across the Atlantic wide

The CRY AND THE MoUNTAINs A cores
pondent OF the Dutch Flat Inquirer, writing
from San Francisco says:
The difference, however, between life in a
city and in our mountains is marked with
moral distinction, such however, as will he
found in any country, under like circnmsan
cee. A mOuntain people are bold and indie
pendent, out-spoken and frank, whilst your
city is artificial to the last degree Wealth
corrupts the heart, and the whirl of business
money geuing-narrow the mind the
creatures beat paths and weave webs for
themselves, and are never able to get out of
the beaten way, or release themselves from
the meshes of the web One person does Just
like another, until at length all individuality
is lost, and they become 50 many moving
breathing aUtolnatons.
Your lawyer is detected by an air of alb
sorbed thoughtfuness; the merchant by a
brisk "on change" countenance; the doctor
by his professional gig or if he is a "bug'
among them, by more aristocratic pair of
bays the mechanic has his "Institute," around
which he believes the world revolves. Thus
they class off, and herd together, and wo be
unto him who would step out of the ranks to
fraternize with another class. You may do
business with and for each other-ah, yes,
get money-that's all as it should be. In
each class there are interior circles, where
they unhend in fraternity, and they gossip OF
each other, and where envy hatred and
malice, find vent Well, why should one
find fault with this? is it not So to greater
or less degree everywhere, and in all ages Of
time? Yes, it's the way of the world, and
the city is concentration of it-tnat's all.
