Save something.

If your income is five dollars
a day, spend but four. If it is
but one dollar, spend eighty
cents. If it is but ten cents,
spend nine. If it is three po-
tatoes, save half a potato for
seed.--Thus you will gradual
acquire something; while if
you spend and consume as you
60, you will never get ahead
one inch in life, but every sun
set will look on you poorer
than at sunrise, because you
will have used unproftably
one day more Of your strength
and your allotted term of life.

Moving q stock of Silks before
breakfast, with q Private
Watchman Looking On-One
Nights Work in Duane st.
The New York Sun contains
the following account of a
burglary lately committed in
that city:
ION the 21st of last month
two professional burglars got
into q vacant building next TO
Blankard & Hutton's at IA
Duane street. and secre:ed
themselves in there until night.
After nightfall they went up
stairs and forced open a scut.
tie. Then they went on Blank.
ards & Hutton's building, and
began operations on the scut
tie with jlmmies and augers.
The scuttle was soon forced
open, and they descended to the
third floor. On this floor was
the silk and velvet department,
containing from $4,000 to
$4,000 worth Of stock. The
burglars worked hard the
whole night, and packed up in
brown paper about $4,000
worth Of silks and velvet, which
they carried down to the first
floor, and so arranged that they
could be carried out expedi~
tiously early next morning.
aIn the morning the burglars
opened the store from the in.
side. One burglar in his shirt
sleeves began sweeping the
sidewalk with a broom, and just
then an old carriage with two
grey horses drove mp. The
burglars inside carried out silks
and velvets and deposited them

Breaking a Miser,s win.

- OSA Wils o..
The trial of the Horace
Hawe's contested will case was
concluded at San Francisco, on
the ID inst. Mr.. Hawes who
was reputed to be worth
$4,000, 900, willed the bulk of
his estate tofound a university
in Redwood City. The will al.
so made provisions for the
maintenance from year to year
of the two children and provid.
ed for a small monthly oryear-
ly stipend TO the wife. The
widow was denied the care and
management of her children,
the son being placed in charge
Of Prot. Evans, who was ems
ployed to travel with him in
Europe. Mrs. Hawes contested
the will on the ground that her
husband was a monomaniac
and halt crazy.
The testimony showed that
Hawes was mean and miserly
crafty and cruel. He treated
his wife like slave, heaplng
upon her outrage and insult.
He accused her of adultery and
denied the paternity of his
daughter whose face represent
ed his image. He would not
allow her a dollar for her sup~
port, and to save herself from
absolute and continuous want
she sold her husbands furni-
ture and grain. For this he
accused her of theft. The jury
rendered a verdict that the tes-
tate was insane. The will there.
fore became void, and the inn
mense estate goes to the widow
and children.
