Curious Wills.

Chambers Journal gives some
strange facts and figures appertaining
to will-making: In 1914, Lady Frances
Wilson, daughter of the Earl of Ayles-
bury, was in informed by Archdeacon
Potts, that parishioner of his, named
Wright, then lying dead at poor lodg-
ing III Pimlico, had left her valuable
estate in Hampshire. The fair legatee
ridiculed the idea, as she knew no such
individual. However, she went. to
Pimlico, and recognized her defunct
friend as constant frequenter of the
opera, who had annoyed her by con
tinually staring at her there. One
would naturally suppose that the
friendless man had fallen in love with
the lady, or been attracted, perhaps,
by her resemblance to some lost love OF
his youth. There may have been some
tender feeling in the case; but then,
how are we to account for his leaving
"a, 600 to the Countess of Rosslyn, Ga
600 to the speaker of the House of Com
mons. and 81, 900 to the chancellor of
the exchequer-all of whom were igno-
rant of his existence. The worthy
arch-deacOn would have secuted the
notion of the man being insane, for had
he not proved himself in his right mind
by leaving him 81, 900, Gas a mark OF
appreciation of sermon he had heard
him preach In 1772, a Monmouth
shire squire left goo, 900 to a la5oring
man to whom he would not speak while
living. A Mr.. Furstane left ct, 600 to
the first man bearing his surname who
should marry female Furstone. This
was one way for lone wan to provide
himself with heirs; but we prefer the
practice of honest George Watts, Of
Stoke Bishop, who having no llinsman
or kinswomen to whom he could be
queath sundry cottages, of which he
had by industry and self-denial made
himself proprietor, left each of his
humble tenants the cottage III which
he lived.

Fight between a Mink and "A Rat.
From the Jackson Mich News.

An interesting exhibition of natural his
tory was witnessed at Michigan Centre a
few evenings since, by II gentleman who
related the circumstance to MS While
lingering around the mill at that place,
which IS at present shut down, he SAW !
number Of rats scudding over the floor of
the dry water shoot, and almost Immediate
~ large mink made his appearance
and went forn the rat with the longest
tail, the one that got into the hole last,
and lengthening out, weasel-like, until he
seemed to be nearly two feet long, he
pursued the yarmnt," following With
ease through every hole aud crack he
entered Our informant stood and
watched the maneuvers Of both pursued
and pursuer, until they were out Of sight,
when he thought he should see no more,
but in a few minutes the mink appeared,
dragging all enormous rodent by the nape
of the neck, and made off toward the rIv-
err When the sandy beach was reached
and the rat saw that he was doomed, he
made desperate struggle and tore him
self loose, when, as if conscious that he
stood no chance with his enemy in
straight run across tbs open space De-
tween the river and the mill, he turned on
his assailant and prepared to sell his life
his life as dearly as possible The fight
that ensued was one Of exciting interest
from its very novelty. The rat in his des-
peration seemed almost II match for his
long bodied, willy antagonist, and for a
few minutes they both " scratched gravel
to IA lively tune. Had the battle-ground
been further from the water the termination
might have been more doubtful, but the
mink, drawing closer to the waters edge,
and waiting favorable opportunity rather
than make direct onslaught, II sudden
change of position and splash soon told
that the conflict was ended, and the last
seen of them the mink was dragging his
dead game to SEINE watery retreat beneath
the willows.

practical surveying of the Polytechnic
College.
A year later Lieutenant Calderwood
was seated in the door Of his tent, when
two or three strangers dashed up, and a
stout, bearded, bright eyed young fellow
jumped off his horse, caught him by the
shoulders. shook him, laughed, and end
ed by kissing him like girl.
"Paul Forbes! Bless you, boy! How
did you come here ?"
Paul jumped to his feet, turned red, and
then burst into shout Of laughter.

The Increase of Population in Europe.

Dr. Z. Decaisne, in a note communi-
Gated to the Paris Academy OF Science,
shows that from the triple point OF
view of the fecundity of marriages, OF
the absolute number of births, and q
the excess OF births over deaths, France
occupies the lowest place of all the
European states. In Prussia 100 mar
riages give AGO children i'll France the
same number of marriages give only
800 children. In Prussia the number
OF births for each 100 Of the population
generally is 8. 9S per annum III France
there are only 255. In Prussia the
excess Of births over deaths IN each
million of the population is Is, 900 per
annum, while in France it only
amounts to 2.400. IF We admits
says DR.. Decaisne, "as a conclusion
from the above figures, that the doub-
ling of the population of France, de-
spoiled of two of its finest provinces,
and bv unheard of disasters, Will re
uuire 40 years to be effected, while
that of Prussia requires only ~ years,
Great Britain 50. and Russia G6, some
estimate may be made of the amount
Of the evil that has befallen this coun-
try.

ers Of Nuremberg It is splendid, glorious, be-
witching. T rank it much higher than 4Lohen-
grin,' which heard few weeks ago. It is yet
more novel and original than the latter. For
doubts as to Wagner's extraordinary doings, and
in spite Of q full recognition OF his marvellous
faculty, I came to think that he was walking in

The 'Mastereingers' have surprised me-.
Sps2 %sssr not calls ni Spsr as aFGsas has
been given out in the papers frequently. There
is comical element in the opera, very good
too but the essence is o charming story Of the
poetical shoemaker of Nuremberg. The opera,
on the whole, is less grand than charming. The
second act in it impressed me in . similar way
as the third act Of Gounod's Faust The par
ticularity Of the music is that the orchestra is
the exponent Of his ideas to q greater extent
than is given to the singers, The singer is the
dramatic representative: The orchestral parts

the music, and yet the singers part is Of little

The London Adlene1.m of the 18th ult. says:
It was anticipated in the Atbeng,tm that the
antagonism Of the Italian and Swedish prime
do7aae would cause much excitement among the
Russian amateurs in Moscow and st. Petersburg
The war Of partisanship has commenced. Mad
anne Nilsson opened fire herself III 3 telegram
to Paris from st. Petersburg, addressed to her
teacher, Ii. Wartel informing him that she had
pressing her gratitude for his singing lessons.
Her agent, or her husband, supplemented this
news by telegraphing that the fair Swedo
had been recalled thirty times. These
dispatches reused the Partisan agents
Of Madame Adelina Patti, and they at
once published counter-telegrams, stating that
Madame La Marquise de Caux had been recalled
thirty-si1 times in Verdi's and Dumas naughty
sTraviata; ; but the six recalls in excess Of those
vouchsafed to Madame Nilsson did not suffice,
and therefore, to overwheln the Scandinavian
songstress, further telegram came, to the ef-
feet that the Princess Dolgorouhi threw bou-
quet on the stage OF rare flowers, value f1o0.
which it required two men to carry across the
stage. How muscular the Princess must be who
could convey this bouquet into her box, and
then fling it at the feet Of Madame Patti, and
what dispensation Of Providence it was it did
not fall on the p14raa do1s7aa's head! We could
afford to smile at these accounts OF rabid rap
turo, if the lyric drama were not injured by such
silly exhibitions"
