1t seems to be very general beliefthat large
part of the accumulated wealth of England is
without owners, and is safely invested under the
functionary, for the benefit of claimants when
they can establish their titles. There are a con-
siderable number of people scattered here and
there throughout the country, who cherish this
delusion and some who encourage it for the
profit TO be made out of it. One bubble of this
kind, of quite magnificent dimensions has lately
exploded and left no trace, except in
the grief and CONSERVATION of the un.
happy man who had spent years in expand
ing it and admring its beauty, and in the losses
of his friends whom he had persuaded 10 invest
their money in his splendid expectations. One
Jasiel Lawrence is the victim of this collapse
He had convinced himself and some OF his
friends that he was the heir TO Lawrence
Townley estate" in Manchester, England,
amounting TO the modest sum of five hundred
million dollars. For twenty years he has spent
his time and all the money he could command
in efforts 10 collect evidence of his title,
and, in order to raise means for his researches,
he has issued bonds payable on the recovery
of the estate which he sold TO his friends and
other persons who were willing to embark in
such wild speculation. Having collected all
the evidence accessible in this country, he re-
Gently employed an agent in England to finish
up the business, who reports that, after six
months of faithful labor, he has ascertained
beyond a doubt that the estate in question is
now and has been all the time in the possession
of the rightful and legitimate heirs. Mr.. Law
renee began his labors at the wrong end and
his twenty years are wasted, but perhaps not
more truly wasted than if he had been success
full in his quest.

GRAFT BRowN's RRCoRD.-James Redpath
writes as follows to the Boston journal:
A great many years ago when was alternate
ly reporter, assistant editor and Kansas cores
pondent Of the Missouri Democrat, Mr.. b. Gratz
Brown was its conductor, and was them as he is
now, a tolerably able and intoerably vain lit
tie iellow-a sort of cross lin cabinet size) be-
tween n P. Banks and VIM II. Seward, with a
dash of peacock thrown in. He was strong on
department; he had social tact and considerable
skill in managing rough men, with a mistiness
OF political and moral convictions that some
times suggested Seward plus opium and some
times again Bourbon whiskey equal water. He
has made fair record-Ior a kentuckian, with
all the vanity and arrogance of the "blue-graSs"
of that state in his veins, a very excellent re-
cOrd-as the records of professional politicians
go; but the claims he is putting forth to politi-
cal saintship are equally egotiStical and I'M
founded in fact. He said lin his New Haven
speech: you know that have ever been a
republican from the hOur the republican party
was formed. have stood by the cause OF free
dom in its darkest days. and | may say without
arrogance that ! have labored for it and fought
for it manlully and we'll"
know that he ''labored" and fought" for
the election of James Buchanan, and that the
files of the Missouri Democrat will prove it,
Those were toleraby clark days. for the ''cauSe
of freedom;" and yet, although the editor of
the Missouri Democrat allowed its Kansas cor
respondent 10 do service for the republican
party, he kept on the safe side and did nothing
for it himself HIS "sympathies" were with
Fremont, but his support was given to Blu
chanan.
Again he says:
You know that have never performed one
act, nor uttered one word, nor harbored one
thought, in derogation of the divine right of
every man TO human freedom"
know heard HIM say, 81 like slavery as a
social institution myself" | remember the ex-
preston well-for it disguised me with the in
sincere little Sewardling; and l have had no
confidence in him since as a republican leader.

A PICTURE AND A PICTURE DEALER Sold
The Paris correspondent Of the Boston Globe
tells this story:
Speaking of pictures, one of the neatest
tricks ever heard of was played off the other
day on dealer in objects of art. gentleman
examined his collection, bought a little ivory
statuette and paid for it. Then he said =
Please put il aside, and will call for it,
also be kind enough 10 take charge OF this pic
ture, handing him a canvass.
Some time after he left a second gentleman
made bis appearance, examined a variety of
articles, and at last uttered an exclamation of
delight as his eye fell on the picture left in the
dealers charge by his customer
And how much for that" he asked.
The dealer informed him that it was not for
sale and did not belong TO him.
What pityV sad the gentleman. 'T've
lallen IN love with il, and would give 5000 francs
Tor it,-and 500 TO you, if you could procure il
ior me-" At the same time he slipped 500
francs into the dealers hand and took his de.
| parture.
Inc owner OF the picture came back an hour
aiierward, and was asked if he would self it.
~ nave no thought OF doing So" he replied
ana, then, you would not pay its value. If
did sell 1t, should ask 1000 francs for it.-its a
| perfect gem"
After little debating, however, he did selrit
and departed, carrying off 1900 francs in bis
| pocket, and the little statuette he had paid for
II Is useless TO add that the amateur never
called for the picture that IL is still hanging in
| the dealers shop, and that that unfortunate zen.

officer came with a friend He was dressed as
private gentleman He had lost a carpet-bag
and wanted 10 know if il could be found by
means of clairvoyance. She described the bag
and contents, amongst other things a brace of
curious siver-mounted pistols of Indian work
manship, then a something which she could not
identify Turning TO the officer she uttered a
scream. He wore an artificial arm, his own,
which he had lost in action, was in the bag, and
that was what she had described. One morning
on waking up at seven o'clock she informed her
husband that his mother was dead. On being
questioned as to how she knew, she said that she
had seen the black-edged letter put under the
bedroom door. At eight O'Clock Mr.. Massey
himself saw the letter containing the sad an
nouncement put under the door.

The BEST July lNvEsTMENT.-A large amount
of money in the aggregate, is disbursed in July in
the shape of interest upon government and other
bonds, and dividends upon stock. The question,
what the best disposition to make of this addition
TO ones means, is of Importance. During midsum-
mer, money "rules easy" according to the phrase
of tinanciers That is it is plenty and the rate of
interest upon loans very low. To invest this
plus in the purchase of government bonds is not
profitable, because they are so high that they pay
only from AZ to per cent upon the investment.
Next to government bonds for safety, and far ex-
ceeding them for profit, first class railroad
bonds. Among those whose security has been well
established are the first mortgage per cent gold
bonds of the Chicago Danville and Vincennes
railroad, running in air line from the great
Indiana coalhelds to Chicago.
This road is not an experiment. 1t has been in
successful operation since January last and instead
of estimating the probable future business of the
road, the officers simply give the figures showing
that 1t is actually earning, week by week, large
excess over its interest liability. Such bond must
be good and being sold at 80 and accrued interest
it is highly profitable as well. The loan is being
rapidly sold and those wishing to participate In its
advantages will do well to make early application
to the authorized agents. who are advertised in
other part of this paper.
