THE Rowland WILL CAsE.-A Boston
correspondent of the New York Tribune
says The famous Rowland will caso,
which has proved n profitable n to
the great equity lawyers, if not to the
parties moro directly interested, has as
sumed q new aspect which makes it n
topic of interest in this section, by the
reported death Of tho complainant,
Mrs. Edward II. Green nee Miss Hettie
II. Robinson, in Paris, from fever incl
dental to childbirth. 1t is said that her
offspring is living, and if he or she lives
to attain the age Of twenty-one years IN
fortune will be in waiting.
The ease has been so long in Court, and
the documents concerning it nccumula-
ted to such an extent that it has been
compared to the Schleswig. Holstein qucs-
ton, which only one man ever under
stood and he unfortunately died after
he had thoroughly informed himself on
the subject. From n tangled mass of
testimony and arguments it appears that
Edward Mott Robinson, the father Of
He,tie, who died in June, 1860, left II
fortune VI ~ .VVViVVVi NV Mnoio VI
which, with the exception Of $50, 900
in legacics TO servants aud friends, went
to her. Her aunt, Sylvia Ann Rowland,
by tho contested will left Hettie ST.
100, 900, which her heir will get in any
event. whether the present suit is won
or lost. If lost, the whole of the aunt's
fortune, nearly $4,000, 900, will go to
the heir. thus making a total Of $780,
900. As money at interest doubles
every ten years or SO, this infant, if it
lives to be twenty-one years of age, will
DO worth S35, 900, 900. Mrs. Green, or
Hettie Robinson, rs she is better known,
is said by lawyers to have been a per-
feet monomaniac in regard to money
getting, and was in factinsane upon the
subject. She kept only one servant,
and lived much the same rs T~hackeray
makes Sir Pitt Crawley in "Vanity
Fair" The husband of Miss Robinson
is vol known in New York, and n con-
frmatiou of the reported death Of his
wife is a~nxiously looked for. The case
in Court is finished, but the decision
has not been given, and it is not expect
cd until Septcmber.

As An illustration Of the useful re-
suits of accidents may be cited the in
v~eution Of the v%ulcanizing process
whereby in~dia-rubber is fitted for the
numberlcss purposes to which its use
is now essential. After long years Of
effort and disappointment, says the
American Artisan, Charles Goodyear
stood apparently as far ms ever from the
attainment of his object, until n day,
while in earnest conversation regarding
his proposed invention, he emphasized
an assertion by finging at random a
piece Of rubber combined with sulphur
that he held in his hand. The frag-
mcnt falling upon the stove, was sub
mitted to q higher heat than that to
which be had ever ventured d~csignedly
to subject the material; and when it
was recovered 1t was found to pos
sess the qualities for which he had
sought so long; cold did not harden
and heat did not soften the water proof
and elastic mass. And thus sprang
forth the germ of IN invention that has
built up q new branch Of manufacturing
industry, given employment to thou
sands Of operatives, and added in
myriad forms to the convenienccs of life.

DExrER.-The Turf, Field and Farm
says: "Dexter" was allowed the most
perfect rest during the Winter, and now
he is looking better than he ever looked.
His feet have spread, and there is not n
particle of lameness about tho horse.
Last week he was taken from the stable
for the first time since his shoes were
removed from him last Fall. Mr.. David
Bonner rode him out in the Park under
saddle. "Dexter" was full Of life,
and after the first nervous, colt-like
bounds, he settled down to q steady
gait, trotted squarely and with great
speed. He attracted much attention,
as his white face and white legs are so
widely known. Thousands turned their
heads to see the king, and from oil lips
came words of admiration. Tho superb
condition of the horse was enough to
excite the warmest praise. Mr.. Bonner
is now driving "Dexter" on the road,
but in June, we understand, the marvel
will be sent to the island to DO prepared
for tho great trial Of bcatin 6 tho fastest
time on record.

WoNAN's RIGHrs.-It is not often that
one has on opportunity to commend the
decisions Of our Justices of the petit
Courts, but hero Is one that will call out
q hearty I" Amen" from all womankind
at least, If not from tho opposite sex.
A Mrs. Loretta Miner was brought be-
fore Justice Shandley, of Brooklyn, n.
Y, on Il charge of attempting to shoot
the complainant, one Solomon Rosen-
berg. 1t appeared from tho evidence
that Rosenberg had been employed by
the defendants husband to dog her steps
with q view to obtain evidence for q d.
vorce. Mrs. Miner having q knowledge
of this proceeding, confronted Rosen-
berg n day in the presence of her hus-
band, when presenting the muzzle of a
pistol to his head and bringing him
down upon his knees, she compelled
him to rctract every statement he had
made derogatory Of her character. The
charge was dismissed, the Judge con-
dcmnigg the espionage, and saying that
Mrs, Miner served the rascal right.

THE CYPRESS TREE.-It was formerly
q custom among the Syrians to bury
their dead without tho walls of their
cities; and at the hour when the body
of the deceased was lowered into its
last solemn resting-place, a cypress tree
was planted at the head Of the grave by
the nearest relation Of the deceased,
and he conceived it to be his duty evcr
after to furnish n copious supply OF pure
water aud rich soil. The tree was
visited weekly by the one who planted
it, and often by tho Whole family, who
there performed their religious rites.
Thus it is that tho cypress trees in that
country are so numerous, and grow to
such nm enormous size-some Of them
being 100 feet in hight. AS their dark
and sombre foliage oycrshadows the
tombs of the departed. they furnish a
welcome resting-place for the wehried
traveller, and present n pleasing con-
trast to the otherwise bright and Joyous
scenery of the Holy Land.

positive evidence against himself, the
prisoner was about to plead guilty,
when the Justice cried "Stop !" And

Her reply was "no !" when turning to

BRIrIsH NEUTRALITY LAws.-A British
Royal Commission has reported favor
ably to such a revision of the neutrality
laws as will give full authority for the
detention of ships supposed to be in
tended for belligerent use against n
friendly power, that will make the
building, fitting or mooring of such
ships in q British port u misdemeanor,
and that will exclude vessels built in
violation Of the amended law from the
privileges Of British ports, and condemn
them and their prizes if brought within
British jurisdiction. In short, it is pro-
posed to have English law hereafter
plainly prohibit what was allowed du-
ring the late civil war in America, when
rebel cruisers, built and fitted out in
British ports, and partly manned by
British sailors, were allowed, not only
to 60 forth On their mission Of destruc-
ton against q friendly nation, but were
granted the Inequalities Of British
ports in the intervals Of their nefarious
work ever afterwards.

THE COMMUNION LOT.

Once in the flight Of ages past,
There lived a man-and who wac he?
Mortal, where'er thy lot Is cast,
That man resembles thee.
Unknown the region Of his birth
The land in which he died-unknown;
His name has persisted from the earth;
This truth survives alone:
That Joy and hope and grief and fear,
Alternate triumphed in his breast:
His bliss and woe-a smile, q tear!
Oblivion hides tho rsst.
The bounding pulse, the languid limb,
The changing spirits rise and fall
We know that these were felt BY him,
For they arc felt by all.
He suffered-but his pangs arc DER;
Enjoyed-but his delights are fled;
Had friends-his friends are now no more
And foes-his foes are dead.
He loyed-but whom he loved the grave
Hath lost in its unconscious womb.
Oh she was fair but naught could save
That beauty from the tomb.
He saw whatever thou hast seen;
Encountered all that troubles thee;
He was whatever thou hast been;
He is-what thou shalt be.
The rolling season, day and night,
Sun, moon aud stars, the earth, the main,
Erewhile his portion, life and light,
To him exist In vain.
The clouds and sunbeams, DER his eye
That once their shade and glory threw,
Have left in yonder silent sky
No vestige where they few.
The annals OF the human race,
Their ruins since the world begau,
or him afford no other trace
Than this-therc Gred a man!

THE OBJEorIvE PoISr. - Beriah
Brown, formerly Of the Democratic
Pre,,, San Francisco, and now editing
q paper in Portland, Oregon, was at
tackled and beaten n short timo since,
by one Mccormick, a returned soldier,
whom Beriah had accused Of embezzling
money. The Sacramento Union says:
Mccormick was q Union soldier during
the lato rebellion, and Beriah charged him
with collecting moneys for the Catholic
Church and converting it to his W use.
The Catholic Bishop, Blanchct, published a
card in the Oregonian, stating that there was
no truth in the allegation. Beriah did not
correct the calumnious statement, and Nc
Cormick thereupon chastiscd him.
Mr.. Brown the next day published an
account Of the assault, in which he
says:
Mccormick is a man oyer six feet in hight,
OF extraordinary large frame, and in tho full
vigor Of life. The person he approached by
stealth and assaulted in the rear, i, fry
three years Of age, Of slight frame and deli
cate health.
Commenting upon this plaiutive tex
plauation," the Salem Unionist re.
marks:
When We saw Beriah in his great break.
neck act Of getting out Of San Francisco, it
was conjectured he was only about twenty
four. We never saw a man Of anything like
ffty-three display such astonishing agility.
His "slight frame" Of 100 pounds split the
winds as though it had been hurled from a
catapult, and no man in ordinarily " delicate
health could have made such racc-horse
lope,. Beriah complains Of Mr.. Mccormick
"Iassaulting him in the rear !" We believe
that is the only objective point which the
