THE COWARD ESTATE IN ENGLAND.

The Pittsburg Post says that the Cow
ard estate in England, claimed by Amert
can heirs, is said to amount to S25O,OoO,'
900, and the prospects are believed to be
good for the recovery of the entire sum.
All the foreign line have become extinct
in the death of William Coward, in Eng
land, in 1916. No heirs having appeared,
the property was put in the hands Of
three trustees to manage for the benefit
of future claimants. Some Of the heirs
of this estate are residents Of Trenton,
New Jersey.
A young gentleman by that name in
this city also makes claim to share in
that estate, and is taking steps to insure
his success by proper Identification.
The singularity of the name, coupled
with the fact that the first name has long
been family name, together with other
circumstances, may give some plausi-
bility to his claims.

AN INFAMOUS ENACTMENT.

How infamous in a republic should the
party be held that confers upon its can
didate for President the power in time OF
peace to suspend the writ Of hdbeds cor.
nus, and declare martial law over the
whole or part of the country at his own
will and pleasure, he to be the sole judge
of the time, occasion and necessity.
Grant has been put in possession Of des-
potic powers, with the army and navy
placed at his control TO enforce his de
crees; and all for the purpose Of en-
abling him to re-elect himself. Il is a
crime against the principles of Ameri-
can liberty that should receive universal
execration. A grosser insult could moi
have been offered to the people of the
United States. A stronger proof thai
the spirit of l776 no longer animatei
American citizens it would be impossi
BILE to present than the passage of the
Force bill comforting upon the President
the powers of despot, and the people
resting in supineness, and not calling
the perpetrators of the outrage to sum
mary punishment.

FRANCE.

LONDON, May 3.--Advices from Pari
of yesterdays date have been received
The alleged capture of General Drom
browski by the Versailles troops is con
tradicted, the General being safe within
the Communal lines.
The Federals claim to have driven the
Versaillists from the trenches at Fort
D'Issy, and have retaken the fort after a
hard fought battle. The fort is now oc-
cupied and being repaired and strength
ened for use against the enemy.
The Communists claim that the action
at the railway station at Clamart, Mon
day, which was won by the Versaillists,
was ruthless massacre. Three hun
bred Federalists were surrounded and
slain by an immensely superior force
after they had been taken prisoners and
rendered utterly incapable of defense.
The fighting before Paris continues.
Cannonading is being carried on along
the whole line without resulting IN any
advantage to either side.
There are indications of general stir
among the Communists, and some de-
cided offensive movement is appre-
hended. Numerous batteries of artil-
lery have been massed, evidently in prep
aration for for general sortie.
The Government troops are also con-
centrating, and an engagement is hourly

vanced position has been materially

FDUCATIoN IN CHINA.

Late advices from Pekin, China, state
that the Imperial Government has made
a demand upon the foreign ambassadors
that schools for the education Of females
be abolished; that the teaching to male
subjects of the Empire of all doctrines
opposed to those of Confucius be forbid
den; that missionaries shall be consid-
cred Chinese subjects, and that women
shall not be permitted access to the EN-
pire in that capacity. 1t has also mott
fed the ambassadors that the attendance
of women upon religious service is one
of the occasions for the recent massacres
of foreigners, and that though those
events cannot but be deplored by the
Government, compensation for their
commission is absolutely refused. This
position of the Celestial Emperor the
New York Tribune qualifedly endorses,
and says that "the decree of the Chi
nese Government is likely to exasperate
every so-called civilized nation, but if
Christian rulers will put themselves in
the place Of the Celestial Emperor and
reflect upon their probable action should
the disciples of Confucius invade Chris
tan lands to propagate the heathenish
religion of their own country, the more
sensible and discreet of them will avoid
appearing ridiculous in absurd procla-
nation and diplomatic dispatches.
The Tribune thinks that the reception
with which the Chinese meet in this
country, gives sufficient grounds for re-
taliation. The world moves.

THE TENDENCIES OF THE AGE IN OUR
AMUSEMENTS.

The question has frequently been
asked whether as race we are making
any progress, and whether this genera
ton can claim any great advantages over
its predecessor. In the arts and sciences
There has been, unquestionably, great
improvement, but as to morals there
may be doubt. The spectacular and
gaudy seems to take the place of the
substantial and the real A dull, dry,
metaphysical lecturer, full of facts and
figures, most always speaks to empty
benches, while that most gorgeous and
dazzling spectacle of the Black Crook
runs for weeks and months, and always
to Overlooking houses. An appeal to the
senses seems more to delight the people
than any argument to their reason, how
ever forcibly made. The legitimate
drama seems well-nigh TO have taken its
fight from the stage, and in its stead the
people crave something which appeals
more directly to their senses. The man.
ayers of our theaters and places of pub
lie amusement, having an eye to business
and to this increasing tendency to the
ornate and beautiful in the public taste,
endeavor to afford their patrons such
qualification as seem demanded by the
times. The German characteristic, of
permitting nothing to mar their enjoy
ments, and looking only upon that side
of the cloud which has the silver lining
in all their amusements, may perhaps
be good philosophy, and may ultimately
become as much American as it has
heretofore been German.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, May 3.-In the German Par
Lament yesterday, Bismarck, in a speech
on the bill incorporating the provinces
of Alsace and Lorraine in the German
Empire, said that in the month of Au-
gust, 1866, the French Ambassador at
Berlin handed him an ultimatum of the
French Government, demanding the
cession of Mayence. The illness of
Napoleon at the time prevented an i'm

How to Live.

The mere lapse of years is not life
To eat and drink and sleep; to be ex-
posed to the darkness aud the light; to
pace around the mill of habit and turn
the wheel of wealth; TO make reason our
book-keeper, and turn thought into an
implement Of trade-this is not life. In
all this, but a poor fraction of the con
seriousness of humanity is awakened, and
the sanctities still slumber which make
it most worth while to be. knowledge,
truth, love, beauty, goodness, faith alone
give vitality TO the mechanism of exist
ence. The laugh of mirth which vi
brates through the heart; the tears which
freshen the dry wastes within; the music
which brings childhood back; the prayer
that calls the future near; the doubt
which makes us mediate; the death
which startles us with its mysteries; the
hardships that force us to struggle, the
anxiety that ends in trust-these are the
nourisnments Of our natural being.
