Mr.. Tweed, of New York, who pro-
poses to say just what man shall be our
next President, is fortifying his plans by
demanding of the Democratic Legislature
the appointment of himself as CON-
mittee to regulate the amount, collection
and expenditure of the taxes in New York
city. One of his friends intimates that
this little measure will give Tweed control
of nine millions of dollars with which to
carry out his plans in regard to the
Presidency. That is, the Democrats in
tend to steal money enough in advance to
make more stealing eligible hereafter.
Perhaps we know how to take care of our
selves if New York does not

WILL THIS WILL STAND7

An individual died in New Jersey quite
recently who left behind him will which
will serve to advertise him into greater
notice dead than he could ever have hoped
to achieve while living. He lived batch
elor's life to the age of sixty odd years,
and during that time he acquired prop
erty to the value of four hundred thou
sand dollars. The only objects of his af-
lection during life were six old hor.es and
an orphan boy. When he died the pro-
bate of his will discovered that he had be-
queathed his large farm as refuge to the
six horses for ten years. The orphan boy
came in for legacy valued at five thou
sand dollars. Quite a number of his re-
latives received small requests. But the
bulk of his property has passed to the
horses in the shape of a life estate of ten
years, after which time it is to be sold and
apportioned among his legal heirs. Twelve
hundred dollars per annum is provided
for the pay of an hostler to attend the
horses, and four hundred dollars per an
mum is set apart for the purchase of feed.
The old gentleman was quite fond of
his steeds, and they duly reciprocated his
affection. Daily he would walk into the
pasture and fondle the animals, while
they would stand around and rub their
noses affectionately against his veteran
cheeks. They are not spoken of as models
of the Arabian breed, but are rather re-
garded as types of the animal kingdom
that ought not to be cultivated, being
rough and averse to active life.
Was this man crazy, or was he really
sensible that in the manner and matter Of
his will he would achieve a notoriety after
death that would last for years? The in
stinct which leads all mankind to seek for
perpetuity in the memory Of after ages
frequently develops itself in the form of
post norton requests. This peculiar
idea, as manifested in the case Of the New
jersey man, il moro largely prevalent in
EnglAnd than elsewhere. There Is scure

whicl rs niads in his vim eh6t 6,ually :
certain sum should be spent in feeding
the birds about his tomb. This donation
is still alive, and its fuifllment is scrupu-
lously attended to. Another pro-
vided that certain amount of food
should be provided for the ownerless
dogs in specified district. It is supposed
that this bequest originated out of the
mutual understanding that existed be-
tween the deceased and the free Hanging
CANNES of his baiiwick. It is very easy
to apologize for this singular provision it
we consider for moment how grateful the
dog is, and how his affection leads him at
all times to love the hand that caresses him.
We might enumerate other cases, but these
two instances will suffice to sustain the
argument that the New Jersey oyster was
sound in his shell, and that whether he
had vigorous idea of forcing his name
upon the attention ofposterity, or whether
he had some memory about him that he
did not explain, the legacy that he pro-
vided is supported by like legacies in other
countries which have been duly and faith
fully respected. It now remains to be
tested whether New Jersey will respect the
wishes of the dead as they are respected in
England.

One result has been reached in France
which may be accepted as creditable to
the revolutionists of Paris. They have
forced declaration from the government
at Versailles that Napoleon is not to be
restored. This is an important point
gained. Possibly the next concession
will be that the monarchy shall not be
re-established. Republicanism would then
be certain of triumph, and the communists
are only the pioneers of this conclusion,
although its success insures their own
overthrow

which is about to take place in Washing

speaks of the ''colored" vote, and hopes
the 'colored people will do their duty

the ''niggers and carpet-baggers" as being
equally repugnant to well educated

A great botheration is being created
because a joke from the PicaWtne strayed
into the Louisville Courier-Journal, and
was afterward found in another paper,
perhaps the Cincinnati Enquirer, where it
was misplaced as news item. These
Western papers ought to consider that
jokes cost money, and that they ought
not to be fooled with in that way. We
are very economical of jokes. 1t would
require an active and sprightiy man to
live, we are afraid to say how many years,
before he could boast of even very small
book of Jokes manufactured at the office
of the Picayune. Therefore all this trouble
when one of them gets out and is not
marked and branded as it should be.
