The will disnherits all the natural heirs of the
maker OF IT, and devises the entire property in trust
lor the establishment OF an lnhmary for Cats. A
most elaborate architectural plan for the necessary
buildings is attached 10 and made part Of the will
Vt provides areas for that sweet amatory converse 80
dear TO the feline heart and rat-hOles OF the most

not lose the pleasure OF the chase by finding their

with gently sloping roofs, for the moonlight prone

One would suppose that in the foregoing provisions
the testator had exhausted all the eccentrictics OF
one man, however unique his nature; but the last
provision Of the will seems more outrageousy bizarre
than any that go before Says the devisor: m have all
my life been taught that everything in and about

duty, as lord OF animals, to protect all the lesser
species, even as God protects and watches him.
For these two combined reasOns-irst, that my body
even after death may continue TO be made useful;
and secondly, that 1t may be made instrumental as

hereby devise and bequeath the ntesnes of my body
to be made up into fiddle strings, the proceeds be
devoted to the purchase OF ACCORDION, which shall
be played in the auditorium Of the Cat Infrmary by

An Opinion on orr Foreign Policy.

In reply to an address Of welcome in the CapitO
at Springfield, Illinois, few days since, Vce-Pres-
dent COlfaX delivered a speech in the course of
foreign policy
II there has been subserviency in the past and
lack OF manly utterance, that day is passed. We
to have a bold frank outspoken policy that will
command respect. We can see already the determi-
nation Of the administration of General Grant, to
which we all can give our adherence, that we shall
practise as a nation what we have been commanded
in the Holy Scriptures TO practise as Individuals
that is, the golden rule given to us in that Sermon
the Mount, peerless among all the discourses re-
corded in sacred or profane history: Whatsoever
you would that men should do TO you, do ye even
unto them - and while we may have generous SYM
pathies for those who long for national independ-
ence, however warm those sympathies may be- we
must practise toward all nations the same Justice
we demand that they snail practise toward us.
Above all things war should be deplored We want
no more carnage and blOodshed We have had it.,
and we know what it is. We want peace, and, above
all things, in this fair land of ours peace at home
and peace abroad.

Terrible Anray-An Actor and Two Oficers
Shot.
Veaudemont an actor, whose real name is
De Pelgrawe, died yesterday afternoon after in
tense agony, the result of a pistol shot wound
received on Wednesday night. In a concert
saloon here, soon after the performance began
on Wednesday night, man named johnson en-
tered the concert saloon, and demanded of the
barkceper the amount due him for work. Notre-
receiving satisfactory reply, johnson became
cnraged and struck the barkeeper, who, with
the assistance of others, elected Johnson from
the place! Before the door could be closed
johnson drew n revolver and fred at
the barkeeper. The shot struck Veaudemont
tho actor, in the back; then ran and was pur-
sued by Officer Johnson, who fired after, but
missed him. johnson turned, and taking deli
beratc aim, fired six or seven shots. The first
one struck Officer Sweet in the breast, Just below
the heart, and passed through his body. The
second shot struck Rice in the hip, inhicting a
severe wound. Johnson again turned and fled,
and has not yet been arrested. Officers Sweet
and Rice are badly injured but may recover

Friday May 90, 1869 !
The unusual excitement which recently prevailed
in the Gold market has greatly subsidized, natwith-
standing the persistent efforts OF the bulls to keep il
up and gold has declined considerably below the
forties, with symptoms OF still further fall. Gov
ernment stocks, on the other hand have begun to
hibit the frmness which characterized them previous
the panic and altogether the tendency is towards
a normal condition of regularity
These sudden and violent fluctuations in gold have
q very peTnicious effect on every branch OF trade
they disturb commercial values, and, in creating un-
Certainties, check business enterprise The advance
in gold is invariably followed by a corresponding
movement in the prices OF all the commodities of
life, and thus production and consumption are re-
strcted to the absolute wants of the current hour
The loan market is without notable change. Cur
rency is abundant and accessible at the stereotyped
rates OF the past month
Government loans are quiet but steady. Gold
firm.
The transactions in stocks to-day were not so
heavy as Yesterday but prices of the leading shares
were well sustained State leans were quiet with
sales OF the war loan at 102. City skies quiet
but firm at 1921 for the new issues. Lehigh gold
loan ranged from 992 TO 99lI.
Reading Railroad was less active but advanced "a,
selling at 49L, b. o. Pennsylvania Railroad improved
}g closing at 5T2ia5S. Camden and AmbOy Rail-
road sold at 12S& West Jersey Railroad at 62E; Oil
Creek and Allegheny Railroad al 43, and Philadelphia
and Erie Railroad at 3OA.
In Canal stocks the only change was in Lehgh
New, which advanced and sold AT 30, b. o. Susque-
hanna was taken at IL.
Coal shares were neglected. In Bank stocks there
were sales of Seventh National at 80 and Philadel-
pha at 100.
Passenger Railways were unchanged.

means to have word shortly. However, as it is
well to avoid the least misunderstanding between

Mr. Punch is not quite sure whether he asks for two

has sent over the latter sum. If there is balance,

Underwood presiding, the of Robert Stevens,
negro, of Charleston, S. O., against the Richmond
and Fredericksburg Railroad Company for put
ting his wife in second class car, by force, after
selling her a first-class ticket, came up.
The Judge, in his charge to the Jury, which
vas half blacks and half whites, said "Distinc-
ton on account of color WAS relic of ba-barism
which had boon happily done away WITH even in
that sink of iniquity, New York, where it had
been tolerated longer than elsewhere to secure
Southern trade"
After an incidental statement to the effect that
Virginians were given to drunkenness, and that
their clergy were not exempt from this fiailty,
the Judge read several extracts from the Bible,
and closed by instructing the Jury to teach this
Company that they must not make distinction on
account of color.
The Jury brought in a verdict of $1,000 dam.
