Viding that if the anticipated infant turned
out to be boy, twothirds of the estate
should be his, and the remaining third go to
the widow if, on the other hand, q girl
should be born, the widow was to have
twothirds of the property, and the child
one-third. Bnt with a womsn's peculiar
aptitude for unnecessarily conplicatinR
questions, the lady saw fit to bring forth
twins, cf whom one is male, the other fe
male. Aud now all the lawyers in the
land are at loggerheads to decide whether
the boy shall have two-thirds and the girl
one third of the estate, leaving nothing for
the mother, or whether the mother can
claim one-third for having borne the bov,
and the other two-thirds for having borne
the girl. DR.. Butler is reported TO have

SETTLEMENTS IN CONFEDERATE Mon
EY RE-oPENED.-TheN New Orleans Pica.
yune states as follows the purport of a
decision which has been barely announc-
ed by telegraph: IL. ...
On an appeal from district court, the
Supreme Court Of Texas has lately made
n decision, in which administrators and
executors who settled their trusts in
Confederate money are deeply interested.
The decision was based on the following
facts:
An administrator during the war, OBJ
tanned an order from the Probate Court
to sell the asscsts of his intestate for cash.
Under such orders he made sales for Con-
federate.money, which he paid to such
creditors as would receive it. After the
war had closed, the Probate Court per-
mitted him to resign his trust and settle
his accounts on Confederate money re-
turns and vouchers. a.,
The Supreme Court decided that the
Probate Courts orders and Judgment
were not only erroneous, but null and
void, and that the administrator would
be held liable in legal tender for the val
ue of the property sold, and that the
creditors could revive their claims, so
paid In Confederate money, against the
estate.
The decision re-opens all the estates In
Texas that were settled on Confederate
money basis, and makes the legal repre-
sentatives and their sureties responsible
for the value of the property thus sold.

THE GREAT SOUTHERN Piano MANU-
FAcToRY-We refer with special pleasure
to the advertisements of the Great South.
ern Piano Mandatory of Messrs Wm
Knabe & Co. Of Baltimore.
This factory is now one of the largest
in the world; it is magnificent five sto.
ry structure, fronting an entire block on
Eutaw st., and covering, together with
the Lumber Yards attached, some two
and one-half acres of ground. Three
hundred and fifty men are constantly
employed turning out over forty instru-
ments per week.
Among the thousand and one Pianos
offered to the public, we scarcely know
any instrument so fully uniting all the
desirable qualities sought for as the
knabe Piano. It Is matter of some diff.
ticulty and perpleXity to inexperienced
persons to select good, instrument of
any capacity. We too often reply upon
the judgment of friends in the selection
of piano, and are thus frequently dis
appointed. The only sure way, in our
opinion Is to 60 to the best maker. For
this reason, we recommend to our read
ers to purchase Pianos Of VIM. Knabe &
Co.'s manufacture. This will relieve them
of the vexatious necessity of wasting
time In q long search. The reputation OF
the Knabe Pianos Is an infallible guar.
anty of excellence. For durability we
would specially recommend them, as be-
ing made in Southern City, with spe-
clal view to trying changes Of a South
ern climate.
