THE GARDINER WILL CAsE.-The jury last
night brought in a verdict in the famous Gardi-
ner will case which declares the will invalid.
The case is one that has attracted great atten-
ton. The testatrix, Mrs. Gardiner, was the
mother of David L. Gardiner and Mrs. Pres-
dent Tyler The former was a Union man:
the latter a bitter secession woman. The evil
dence showed that Mrs. Tyler prejudiced the
mind of her mother against her son, so that
the son left his mothers house. On her
death-bed Mrs. Gardiner made her will which
left her property, some 100000, to her
daughter, to the exclusion of her son and her
grandsons. The will was regularly executed,
but was made when Mrs. Tyler was still in the
ascendancy, and influenced her mother against
Mr.. Gardiner. The validity of the will was
contested by Mr.. Gardiner and it was refused
admission to probate, 1t was refused by the
Court of Appeals, by a vote of four to three,
and now on jury trial it has been formally
declared invalid, because of undue influence
on the part of Mrs. Tyler. The case is an in
teresting one, and will prove valuable pre-
ut in future suits of the same character.

By RBoENT order issued from the Treasury
Department, all coupons payable to bearer,
and all Treasury notes issued and remaining
in blank, win be paid on presentation, without
considering whether the party so presenting
them came to them honestly or otherwise.
No telegram to stop payment of such notes
will be needed. The remedy. therefore, for
our merchants and holders of such issues, is
to prevent the evil by filling up those in blank,
and making the coupons payable to order.
Unless this matter is attended to, there will
be no means of recovering stolen notes.

A Registration Wrtck.
When the registration of voters, under the late
act of Congress, was entered upon, numbers of
whites refused to register in company with
negroes. Now that the registration is closed in
their wards, they are anxious to register, and
have asked Tor writ OF mandamus to compel
the registers to receive their names. The Dis
trict Supreme Court will refuse to grant theI
writ, on the ground that the parties wilfullyi
neglected to register, and that the registry can
only be opened for correction. This decision
gives the government of the city to the Repubh-
cans 0y a. large majority.
Condition of Secretary Browning.
Secretary Browning is somewhat better to-
day, and his physicians have hopes of his

THE CHRISTOPHER AND THE BABY
A poor Ettle-baby was once left by his
hard hearted mother away in field by
himself to starve to death. His mother
was tired of caring for him. He was in
no doubt, and so she concluded to throw
him away. What wicked, cruel woman
she must have been. How unlike your
dear kind mother, who tends SO carefully
and untiringly your baby sister or brother.
this poor baby You know the verse
forsake me, then the Lord will take me
up.
A very little messenger God chose, to
tell some kind people where the baby lay.
First, He told a little grasshopper to sing
hopper obeyed him, land chirped and rang
The noise attracted a little child, who was
rambling along, to the very spot where
the infant was He came to search for a
grasshopper. and found dear, deserted
baby. Oh, how surprised he was! He
looked at it minute, and then ran as
fast as his feet would take him to his home
to get some one to take the baby up
And SO his life was saved He grew up
to be great merchant, and received ma
ny honors from his sovereign, Queen
Elizabeth. In her reign he founded the
Royal Exchange, and in various parts of
the building his crest was placed. The
design he chose was that of the grass
hopper, and the great vane on the top of
the tower was fashioned in the same
shape. His name was Sir Thomas Ores
ham, and but for that humble little in
sect he might never have been heard of.
You see how little thing God can
make use of to do a great work Never
fear that you are too little or too weak to
serve him. He has work even for the
smallest. Look about you and you will
be sure to find it just to your hand.

OLD BONES. The Oldest remnant of
morality extant is the SHELTON of one of
the earlier Pharaohs, (encased in its orig
inal burial robes, and wonderfully perfect
considering ITS oye. (which was deposited
about eighteen or twenty months ago in
the t,cst!.;h Museum. and is justly con-
sldered the most valuable of all its ar
chronological treasures. The lid of the
coffin which contained the royal mummy
was inscribed with the name of its occu-
pant, Pharaoh Mykerimus, who succeed
ed the heir of the builder of the Great
Pyramid, about twenty-five centuries be-
fore Christ. Only think of it; the mo-
march whose crumbling bones and leath
cry lntegUments are now exciting the GU
rloslty and wonder of numerous guests,
reigned in Egypt before Abraham was
born, and only about two centuries or so
after Mizram, the grandson of old Faith
er Noah and first OF the Pharaohs, had
been gathered to his fathers! Why, the
tidemarks of the deluge could scarcely be
obllterated, or the gopherwood knee
tlmbers of the ark have rotted on Mount
Ararat, when this man of the early world
lived moved, and had his being! His
flesh and blood were contemporary with
the progenitors of the great patriarch;
his bones and shrivelled skin are cotem-
porary with the nineteenth century; and
the date Of the Crucifction is only about
midway between his era and hours.
What gulf of time is bridged, as it
were, by those moldering relics! Of all
the resurrections effected by the archeo-
logists, that Of Pharaoh Mykerismus is
undoubtedly the most extraordinary and
interesting. When he fourished remote
antiquity had but just begun.

REASONS WHY THE
A MEXICAN WATCH
Made at WaItksalls. Mass.
Is FILE REST

Is TIE BEST.
1t is made on the best principle. It's frame
is composed of solid plates. No jar can inter
fere with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock can damage its machinery @ Eve
ry piece is made and finished by machinery
(itself famous fer its novelty as we'll for its
effectiveness) and is therefore properly made.
The watch is what all mechanism should be
accurate, sirple, strong and economical. Ex
cept some higher grades, too costly for general
use, foreighn watches are chiefly made by wo-
men and boys. Such watches made of
several hundred pieces, screwed and riveted
together, and require constant repairs to keep
them in any kind of order. All persons who
have carried ''ancres," "lepines' and "English
Patent Levers" are perfectly well aware of the
truth of this statement.
At the beginning Of our enterprise more
than ten years ago, it was first object to
make thoroughly coed low priced watch for
the million, to take the place of these foreign
imputatiens-the refuse of foreign factories
which were entirely unsaleahle at home and
perfectly worthless everywhere.
How we'll we have accomplished this may be
years of public trial, we now make more than
half of all the watches sold in the United
States, and that others have ever given such
universal satisfaction. While this department
of our business is continued with increased IA
cilities for perfect work, are at present en-
Al g IS
very highest grade known to ehronometry, un-
equalled by anything hitherto made by eur
selves, and unsurpassed by anything made in
the world. For this purpose we have the am
plest facilities. We have erected an addition
main buildings, expressly for this branch of
our business, and have filled 1t with the best
workmen in our service. New machines and
appliances have been constructed, which per-
form their work with consummate delicacy and
exactness. The choicest and most approved
materials only are used and we challenge com
parrison between this grade of our work and
the finest imported chronometers. We do not
pretend to sell onr watches for less money than
foreign watches, but we do assert without fear
of contradiction that for the same money our
product is incomr arably superior All our
watches, of whatever grade, are fully warrant
ed and this warrsntee il good at all times
against us or our agents in all parts of the
world.

buy only of respectable dealers. All persons

Coal Mine Explosion In Virginia.
From the Richmond Wing.


A terrible explosion occurred on We'd
nesday evening about two clock, in the
Bright Hope coal mine at Clover Hill
pits, Chesterfield County, about 81 miles
from Richmond, resulting in the loss of
seventy persons killed. The following
letter from the Superintendent explains
the disaster:
GLOVER HILL, April 4, 9 A. NJ.
f. S. HoobiRge-
Dear Sir:-When the pit bottom was
reached last evening, it was ascertained
that The lumber house, containing guam
tity of powder, was en- fire. | endeavor-
ed TO get the men to put it out, which no
doubt could have been done, but the
feared the danger of another explosion
and were unwilling to work The pit has
again been examined this morning. and
the fire is SO small that it could be man
aged If the men were willing to run the
risk
Under all the circumstances, | have de-
termined to save the pit by closing both
shafts. We are now engaged in this
work.
All of the men, about seventy IN
number, twenty whites and fifty blacks,
and all the mules that We're Gown in the
pit were, OF course, lost. The bodies
cannot be recovered until the fire is ex-
tinguished and the pit is re-opened
Very respectfully, JAS. I'll. Cox.
1t is conjectmed that the explosion was
occasioned by the carelessness of the
man who attends to the gas and the pro-
per ventilation of the pit. He is said to
have been intoxicated that afternoon.
The Clover Hih pits are among the
oldest and best known of any in this re-
gion, and valuable not only on account of
their extent and yield, but also because
the coal taken from them is esteemed 50
very highly on account of its superior
qualities They were purchased many
years ago from Col. James H. Cox, who
is still part owner and general superin-
tendent at the pits. Hon. William II.
Macfarland, of this city, has been the
President of the company for many years
and Is very large stakeholder. D. s.
MooIdrldge, a well-known citizen of
Richmond, holds both the Offices of Sec
rotary and Treasurer of the company.
The following are the names of the
shafts: Beaver, Racoon, Old SHAFT
Sinking Shaft, and Bright Hone which
have been sunk at different Intervals.
They are about mile apart, and the two
extreme pits about three miles apart
The Clover Hill pits are distant from
Richmond city. twenty-six miles, and
twelve from Chester, the point where
the Clover Hill railroad, which runs t.
the pits, connects with the Petersbnr,
road.
