baby alive, and was much depressed in
spirit. At this j~uncture, a clerk in the
establishment Whare he had been EN-
Bloyed, persuaded him 30 try a course
Of Plantation Bftters. Last week he re-
turned &c business; his health being quite
restored.
The other day while on his way home,
be met the physician who attended him,
when the follOwingcOnversation occurred:
"whati' said the doctor; sis this you?"
Even so,n replied Mr.. Redding, quietly;
You're not sorry to find yourself a false
prophet, / hope?" mo, no; certainly
not. But it's a miracle. How was it, my
dear fellow7 how was it?" Mr.. r. told
hIm the story of his recovery describing

THE ARLINGTON ESTATE AND MARY

cit may not be amiss to state few plain
facts az to the matter Of the Arlington es-
tate. John Parks Gusts left the Arlington
estate to George Washington Parks Gusts,
tho adopted son and step grandson OF one
George Washington G. W. P. Gusts had
one child, Mary Gusts, who was born at
Arlington, and 10 whom h. devised his es-
tate. The daughter Mary married Robert
Edward Lee In his will admitted to
probate at Lexington, Va. iu October last,
General R. E. Lee bequeathed to his family
oaly personal estate. No mention of lands
is made in it, because he owned none. The
will itself bears date anterior to the war
G. W. P. Gusts died in 1857, and after
that General Lee held life estate in Ar
iington as tenant by courtesy. 1t now be-
longs to Mrs. Lee free from claim whatever,
except tax little held by the United States
government Any lawyer knows that .
court of equity would hold the owner of
tax title az entitled merely to what he ac-
tually paid out, returned to him with legal
interest. Mrs. Lee has been under legal
disability as u married woman. This is
now removed by the death of her husband,
and she stands as amy other widowed lady
claiming her patrimony and birthplace at
the first moment that the laws allow her to
DO so. Nobody seeks to remove be Tn; on

Of Martha Washington have her property !?

situation in France. Vague reports speak
of sortie from Paris a few night ago and
the prospective decentralization of the Ger.

tons. Other reports say that no fighting
of any consequence has occurred at Paris
since the first Of December. The Prussian
explanations concerning the delayed bonn

impossible to lombard the city effectively

ing commissioner ofinternal revenue decides
that when taxes on tobacco become due and
payable and are not paid, the government
has lien from that day all manufactured
tobacco in the possession Of the manufactu-
rer at that time, and could enforce that lien
IN case the tobacco was subsequently, sold
against all purchasers, no matter how many
hands the goods might subsequently pass
through, or however good the faith of such
purchasers,
