II has from time TO time been reported
that various families in this country
had been found TO be heirs to large es-
tates in Europe, and that legal measures
were TO be taken, as soon as could be
agreed upon, to put them in possession
OF their property. Without pretending
to know anything about any individu-
al case, we confess that we put very lit
tie faith in these stories. Colossal for
tunes do not grow on every bush, and
the multitude of these claims which
spring up, all at once, in various parts
of the country was, to say the least, ex-
traordinary. This, however, is sub
iect that does ppt ADMIT of much dis
cnssion, but one castle in the air, at
least, seems to have been destroyed by
the following letter, which has been re-
ceived by the Secretary of State:
UNITED SrATRs LEGATION,
"THE HAGUE, Sept. s, 1861.
"SIR:-A statement appeared some
time since In an American paper to the
effect that the minister at the Hague
had confirmed the report that $50 ,000,-
| 600 had been left to the descendants OF
one Hans Graf. In answer to many
letters on The subject, have made in
quiry, apd found no foundation for the
rumor. Some OF the writer's state that
their ancestor owned a large estate in
certain part of Baden, which WIS
Oontiscated during a religious persecu-
tIon, and that the government was pre-
pared to refund. The minister of BR-
den informs me that no such peTsecu-
tion or confiscation ever occurred, and
that the records show that, at the time
and place specIied, one Hans Graft was
in possession OF a farm as tenant, but
had no estate in fee. AS L am advised
that in many parts of the country
money is being laid out by the family,
and as / find II impossible to continue

TO suggest that such publication be au-
thorized by the department as will an

For some time past degree of ex-
element has been occasioned in some
of the public schools on account of the
fact that number OF colored children
insisted upOn attending, and remained
despite the efforts OF the teachers to
compel them TO leave. Recently, Pc
tition by colored people, asking peTmis-
sion 10 send their children TO other
schools than that set apart for them,
was referred 10 the Common Council
Committee on Schools; the Committee
reported that the Council had no au-
thority 10 grant the permission asked.
and the report was adopted. Notwith-
stumbling this action. the parents of the
children continued TO send them TO the
schools, and yesterday Superintendent
II and ordered the colored children 10
leave. This they refused TO do, when
they were elected. This morning the
colored children in No. 32 were also
elected by the Superintendent. II Is
understood that Mr.. Fosdick has adopt
ed this course in pursuance OF the
action of the Council, and it is rumOred
that the parties considering themselves
aggrieved threaten to have him arrest
ed and arraigned before the United
States Court under the Civil Rights Bill.
The school set apart for colored chill
dren, on Vine street, will accommodate
two hundred, we are told, though the
average daily attendance is only about
fortY-tiye.

ALLUsIoS has already been made to
the difficulties which the British expe-
dftion to Abyssinia will have TO en-
counter. There is great deal OF croak-
ing in England upon this subject, but
the most ominous raven has just ap-
peared in Paris, in the person of NJ. du
Bisson, who has Just given in the PItrIe
two columns of doleful torebodings
about the difficulties to be eucu unIered.
He says: .ar
I'VE will not speak of the Gudearef
worm or of the tusnia; one is safe from
them If one never drinks water. We
will say nothing of the gigantic defiles,
of the absence of roads over mountains
inaccessible to Europeans, of the
rains that commence in April, Il
frightful deluge that breaks down
the strongest tents, changes rivulets
into torrents and rivers into oceans,
drowning the plains in two months, and
leaving them during the three sue
ceeding months ravaged by typhus
and by the Pernicious fevers engender-
ed b6 mountains OF detritus in feFmen-
tatiOn, or CHTCnsses OF animals in putre-
factiOu, under sunheat of S5 degrees
centigrade. We will not point out the
desperate position o: an invading army
in Il country which has already been
metbOdically ruined, sacked and burnt,
surrounded on all sides by pestiIentisl
marshes, hemmed in by ianatiCal free
corps, implacnbiS in their hatred, mex.
orable in their vengeance, indefatiga-
BILE Ia their attacks; of an army cut on
from its base of operations by muddy
and mephitic oceans, without commu-
nications, without the possibility du-
ring one-third of the year of obtaining
supplies, and consequently Obliged TO

icines, nmmunitiOns for four months.

A CURIOUS work has been published
Mt Breslau lately by DR.. Hermann
Cohn, giving The result of an examina-
tion ofLhe eyes of ten thousand and
sixty school children. The proportion
OF shortsighted children was l7:l per
cent, or seventeen hundred and thirty
among tenrthousand and sixty. No
village children were found to be short
sighted until they had been some time
at school-at least half H year. There
were, in proportion, four times as many
shortsighted children in the town (Bres-
LAM as in the country, and shortsight-
edness increased generally with the de-
mands made upon the children. DR..
Cohn attributes the evil in great
measure to the bad construction of
school benches, which force the chill
dren to read with their books close be-
fore their eyes, and with their heads
held downwards.
