Curious Testnmentary Arguments Of
the Emperor and Empress.
Vienna (Jtly 10y Correspondence Of Llte Paris
LibcrLe.
/ have already announced to you that
the testamentary executor of the Em-
peror Macmillan was Count Francois
Zichy. now learn that there is sec
ond, Count Haddik. Concerning the
wills of the Emperor Macmillan and
the Empress Charlotte, some informa-
rtion of precise nature has reached me
which cannot fail to excite the highest
interest. From what 1 learn, which, OF
course, / cannot guarantee, although
have it from the best source, two wills,
perfectly analogous, were drawn up
by the Emperor and Empress. Each
of them, in case there was no issue OF
the marriage, leaves all the property to
the survivor. Thus, Macmillan be-
ing dead, his fortune, estimated at from
ten to twelve millions of horins, only
calculating his property at Miramar,
Lacroma, and the artistic wealth col
lected there, reverts to the Empress
Charlotte. The will of Macmillan Is
there to attest 1t. -
But now comes the strange affair. II
is asserted that the Empress ChRrlotte's
will, written with her own hand, and
which was carefully locked up in one
OF the rooms at Miramar, has suddenly
disappeared, nobody knows how or
where. From that circumstance 1t re-
suits that, as the Empress Charlotte has
no will and is not In a state to make
one, seeing the almost complete abb
sence of her mental faculties, all her
fortune, including the part coming
from her husband, the Emperor Maxi
milan, and which ought In justice,
after her death, to revert to the Aus
trian Imperial family, will now legally

rgUUt &ftS NftbSAgO AAHteSs
Things seem to be rapidly approach
ing "a condition when no man In Chi
cogo will know whether he is married
man or not. It is, indeed, only on oc-
casions when Chicago man can, even
now, feel quite sure on this point. Ihe
principal occasion is when he stands
before a priest, takes the hand of an
angelic creature in his own, and hears
the matrimonial fiat pronounced in a
clear, distinct voice, which there is no
danger of misunderstanding. From
that moment until he leaves the side of
his dear one in pursuit or his customary
aVocation, he may feel tolerably sure
that he is married. He can have no
certainty, however, that when he re-
turns TO her he will not find that, in tho
interim of days absence, he has not
been divorced. .--Isf--s
1t is probably the difficulty which
men experience in Chicago, of knowing
whether they are married or not, that
accounts for the fact recently an
nounced by the Board OF Health In
this city, to-wit: that "Chicago,. OF
itself and within itself, is not doing
what it ought to do in adding to the
population of the world" How can a
Chicago man be expected to do what
he ought to do in adding to the popula-
ton OF the world when he has no GER
tain means of knowing whether he
would be doing IL ltlaWIullyE- .+-- ~
The inhabitants of Chicago are, as
general rule, law-abiding. They do not
intend todo anything unlawful. There
ia no general presumption of law that,
In doing what they ought to do In add
ing to the population of the world, they
would be doing what the law allows, or
the customs of respectable society per-
nit. In the busy pursuits OF enterprise,
they have no tlmeto consult the court
records at the close of each day to find
whether the law will permit them to do
or not. Rather than risk the perils OF
the law they prefer not TO do 1t.
Until some plan can be devised which
will enable the Inhabitants of Chicago
TO know whether they are married or
not, 1t will be useless to expect them to
do what they ought to do In adding to
the population OF the world. So long
as the present state OF uncertainty on
this subject prevails, they will keep on
doing what they ought not to do.

"A FRIEND IN NRED."-The New
York Sun has an editorial giving some
good advice to parents-to give their
boys good trade. That is the best
friend in need" the editor knows OF,
as life wears on, and he adds:
Every day 1--WE are told) there are in
stances of men slipping from high
rouuds-to the lowest one in the ladder
of wealth. Business men find them
selves. engulfed in thesea of financial
emerge with nothing but their personal
resources to depend upon for a living
Clerks, salesmen and others fInd them
selves thrown out OF employment, wtth
no prospect of speedily btainiDg places
which they are competent TO fill, and
with no other means OF gaining a live
lihood. How many men there are IN
this city to-day, some of whom have
families dependent upon them for sup.
port, who bewHil the mistake they
made in not learning useful trades in
their younger days? There are hum
dreds of them. There are men here
who have seen better days, men of edu-
cation and business ability, who envy
the mechanic who has sure support
for himself and family in his handi'
craft. Parents make a great mistake
when they impose upon the brain oI
their boy the task OF supporting him
without preparing his hands for emer'
gencles.
No matter how favorable boys cir.
cumstances may be, he should enter
the battle of life as every prudent gene
raj enters the battle OF armieS-with a
reliable reserve to fall back upon in
case of disaster. Every man Is liable
TO be reduced to the lowest pecuniary
point, at some stage OF his life, and IL is
hardly necessary to refer to the large
proportion of men who reach that point.
No man Is poor who is the master of a
trade. It is kind of capital that defies
the storm of financial reverse, and that
clings to a man when all else has been
swept away. It consoles him in the
hour of adversely with the assurance
that, let whatever may befall him, he
need have no fear for the support OF
hlmselfand his family. Unfortunately,
silly notion, the otfspring OF sham
aristocracy, has OF late years led many
parents 10 regard trade as something
disreputable, with which their children
should not be tainted. Labor disrepu-
table,! What would the world be with
out i'll 1tisthe very power that moves
the world. A power higher than the
throne OF aristocracy has ennobled
labor, and he who would disparage IL
must set himself above the Divine
principle, In the sweat of thy face shalt
thoo eat bread.' A trade is a friend in
need, It Is Independence aud wealth-a
rlen legacy which the poorest father
may give to his son, and which the
rIenest should regard as more valuable
than gold"

SENATOR JAMES GUTHRIE, of Ken
lucky, is sketched by a Washington
correspondent. The following is an ex-
tract, describing his traits as Secretary
OF the Treasury: "Guthrie was walk

the subordinate especially charged with
them. His intuitions were like light

man was going to say to him, and 10 tell

long conversations and then waking up
and answering each point exactly as II

ing his signature, and throw aside
each one containing mistake ofphrase

through pile of bank notes and filings

istration Congress passed a law increas-
ing 20 per cent the salaries OF Govern
ment employees. Nicholson, the Public
Printer, presented his account with
this additional perceptage. Guthrie
rejected 1t on the ground that he was a
contractor, not an employee. Nichol-
son went for help to his friend, the
President. He Endorsed the paper:

and, in my Judgment, it ought to be

handed back to the Secretary. Guthrie,

RAILROAD Comforts.

or sections, are always agreesoly sur,
prised when they pass into the States
west of the Ohio, and especially In
Michigan, Illinois and Missouri. to find
railway Conveniences, comforts, and
even luxuries, unknown to them al
home. The cars on all express trains
are spacious, tidy, cleanly, handsomely
ornamented, and we'll provided with
most things calculated to promote the
ease, health and cheerfuluess OF the
passengers. At all, or nearly all the
great central points, as at Pittsburghi
indianapolis, Chicago, &C., the great
railway lines converge in the same de-
pots. The incoming and outgoing
trains arrive and depart under the
same roof, and in this way the traveller,
whether on business or in the pursuit
of pleasure, is saved the anxiety and
worry of hurrying from one distant
station to another in fever lest he miss
the train, and at the same time subject
to the extorLions of the hack-driver oI
the risk of a quarrel. None but those
who have experienced them can fully
realize the benefits and the pleasures oi
ces as those we refer too. There is no
good reason why we should not have
them in the East as well as In the West.
Butthere Is another comfort in Western
travelling that mas grown out of the pc
culiar wants of that region, worthy oi
quite as strong gcommendation, and that
is the modern car, styled somewhat
grandly, the "silver palace car" 1t is
IN some respects the same as the ia.

distinct from that improvement. 1t Is q
sleeping car by night, furnished with
convenient, pleasant and entirely pri-
vAte state-rOonhs for families, and q
Idsome saloon by day, with plenty
room for freedom of motion; with
sofas and tables so arranged that the
occupants may read, write, play chess
or whist, or enjoy the pleasure OF con.
versation with the same cozy feeling oi
satisfaction as at home in the library or
parlor. Besides This, it contains wash
rooms and retiring-rooms. Surround.
ing all this, too, there'is an artistic and
elaborate ornamentRtion that has a
happy effect upon the spirits and cheer.

ions. In some specimens of the car we
are describing, there is In addition to
everything else, a restaurant, with bills
of fare distributed through the train
from which the passenger may order
either casual refreshments, a lunch, oil
dinner, and have IL served TO him on the
ta BILE In front of his sofa. This saves
hin and his party all the heat and fret

roadside while the train is waiting.

WINE, E,eRow1Ne.-T first paragraph
which follows is from the California
Wine-growers' Report
"The Introduction of native wines
into general use Will, it is believed,
promote habits of temperance and good
health, by discoursging the taste for in
flaming alcoholic drinks, and substitu-
ting beverages that promote digestion,
without intlaming the blood or destroy

This second paragraph is the COM
ment of a California Journal:
"Perhaps these sage wine-growers

drunkard, and that in some instances

southern Crop7P 7Prospects.


The Richmond Examiner has re-
view of the crop prospects OF the South,
which are represented in a most en-
couraging light, 1t says: =
Our daily business correspondence is
heavy with subscribers in middle and
Southern Georgia, and 1t is to these Sec
direct our remarks.
OIithe grain crops, embracing wheat,
corn and oats, we may say that the Sec
tion referred TO never produced better
to the area planted, Provisions for
man and beast will be abundant an
As regards cotton, the, area planted is
somewhat, though not largely, in excess
of last years crop. The seasons have
been far better, alternate sunshine and
rain having been visited on the earth in
very fair proportions. The weed has
grown off finely under more careful
culture than last years, and is now
frulting to the satisfaction of the plant
ers.
The only drawback to the crop has
been asuper-Rbundance OF rain for the
last month, causing an inordinate
growth of wood, and the falling of
many of the squares and young bolls.
We do not think, though, from all we
can learn, that tie crop will very mate
rally suffer from this source. s3li-L
As regards the general crop, If our in
formation be correct from all the cotton
growing sections, we should estimate
1t, with all the lights before us, at from
=, 500, 600 to 8, 900 900 bales, barring fu-
ture disasters. We do not think it can
exceed the latter figure In any event.
The Charleston Ne,Us and our other
Southern exchanges generally corrob-
crate the views of the Examiner.
TIE latest invention in the way of a
motive power that has come under our
Observation, is swing arranged to give
motion to wheel to which NAV be at
tached the dasher of churn, The han
die of a pump, or any other light ma
chinery reQuiring steady motion. A
cut of this Invention represents young
lady comfortably seated in the swing
reading a book while the churn dasher
is in vigorous N notion. Truly here Is a
combination of labor and pleasure
over which labor economists may well
grow enthusiastic. ..
