OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,


Mr.. and Mrs. Mo,ely, writes q London
correspondent Of the New York Ercning
Post, have been paying visit til Woburn
Abbey, the Duko Of bediords magnificent
seat in Bedfordshier. The present Duke.
is mysterious being, who never EXHIBITS
himself to the outer world. lie lives al
the year round in large mansion which
occupies the center Of the northern sac oil
Belgarev square--now BEDFORD House,
grand seigueur residence OF vast dimehs-
ions, which stood on ground now the norm
side Of Bloombury square, having been
pulled down at the commencement oil the
century. The destruction of this venera-
bic mansion, the same irom winch the
nslriot Lord Russell was taken TO the
tower. has been much regretted by the
family, The present Duke has not left
London for twenty years, and never en-
tertains company even there, but he places
his ancestral home ut the disposal of his
cousin and heir, Mr.. Hastings Russell, son
Of his uncle Lord William russell, by tho
daughter Of the we'll known first Marquis
of hastings, Governor.General of India.
Although the Duke never goes near Wo
burn all is kept up there in tho most per-
feet order, and no estates are better man
aged than his Besides his property in
Bcdfosdshier, he has immence posessionsin
Devonshire, including all that formerly
belonged to the very wealthy abby OF
Tavis,ock. This was granted TO his an.
cestor, with vast deal mole, by Henry
Will and the Woburn property came in
n similar way. Tho Dukes income is not
less than million Of dollars. Earl Russ
ell has also been guest during the Ameri-
can Minister'S visit. He is uncle of the
Duke. Tho political influence of the fam
lily is still very considerable, noiwithstand-
ing that the head of the family takes no
part whatever in politics. One Of the
members for Tarvistock is returned, prac-
ticly at the Dukes order. The Russclls
are decided liberals on politics.

common law, in which the proceedings
and return of the jury or persons making
them, and their acts and those of their
assistants, such as making boundaries,
setting up monuments and the like, in
GLIDING their declarations respecting such
acts, made during the transactions, are
evidence against the parties between
whom the FORMULATION was made: but
we have been unable to find where It was
ever held that the acts or declarations of
third persons, disconnected with the per-
ambulation, were admitted. In the case
at bar, it does not appear that the jury,
taking the testimony, was ever upon the
premises at the time of Goss' statements:
much less does 1t appear that it and Goss
were at the corners spoken of, for any
purpose at all. The testimony of Smith
is obnoxious to the above, and also the
further objection, that it is contradictory
of the deed made by Goss, as agent and
attorney for Avis, to Draper, the latter
moi, being shown to be present, and is
consequently not to be affected by it under
any of the circumstances in this case.
The testimony was calculated to mis-
lead the jury in weighing the question of
disputed boundary, they most likely dis
regarding all the other testimony, and bas-
ing their verdict upon this. The evidence
of Mynatt and Smith was purely hearsay,
invading the province of the jury, in de-
Gliding what are the Brushy Valley Knobs,
the main point in issue.

self on a matter of equal impor lance, and
perhaps greater delicacy We published
Yesterday the following extract from the
Washington Republicans report Of an
interview with Judge Louis Dent
"YOu know that we had an extended
acquaintance with the officers of the old
army. 1t was Longstreet who first intro
duced Grant to his wife, then Miss Julia
Dent. LongstreCt is cousin, being de-
seconded from George Dent, of Maryland,
who was a member of Congress from
1898 10 1901, and afterward moved to
Mississippi. He was my uncle, sir. The
Bongstreets, Magruders, and others of
that region are descendants, and became
connected with US through marrisge."
Upon this, we made the following OBJ
servation:
$50 that accounts for Longsireet's Off
cial position. We had heard of that be
f2re, but the relationship of the Magru-
ders is quite new. How does it happen
that they have been neglected.
The Magruders have no. been wholly
neglected. The iutimaiion that they had
been is what we have to apologize for.
