LADY THORN'S WILL.


Some Chapters from Lilies story of u
Famous HYomau--CuriOus Provision
in Her VIII in Regard TO a Diamond
Tiara.
Of the many curious wills which have
in the past fewmonths gained publicity
through being odntested in the Surro-
gates Court, or filed in the SurTogate's
Office in New York, that of an aged
woman named Mary Jane Thorn, which
was recently admitted to probate, is
one of the most singular. Fifty years
ago this lady was one af the leaders of,
and the brightest light in the highest
circles Of New York and Partisan soci-
ETY., alternately I; and from her intel.
lectual worth, winning manners, and
superior culture, was given IN Partisan
society the title of 6 Lady" Thorn, a
title which followed her to this country,
and even chung to her up to the time OF
her death. - nH@ uae3 4aos
Lady Thorn was niece of William
Jauncey, and by his will became legal
heir to large amount of real estate,
which be possessed. For many years
prior to her death she, in company
with her family, spent the summer
months at the Pequot House, New
London, Conn. The last summer she
spent there, it was remarked by her
acquaintance that the remarkable
vigor which she had retained up to
that time was rapidly leaving her, and
soon after she died, at the advanced
age of 90years.
The family mansion in this city was

Being an old house of a peculiar,
quaint style of architecture, it presents
a somewhat weird appearance to the
present generation. Her husband,
Col. Thorn, man Of great elegance
and grandeur Of department., died in
1859; and, although there is nothing
by which to fix the exact amount of
his wealth, he was believed to be a
millionaire. The connections made by
the marriage other children were of
an extremely high character. Three
of her daughters married distinguished
courtiers of the late Napoleon, one of
whom was one of that monarch's most
valued friends. Below is one of the
most peculiar clauses In the will:
[ direct my executors to cause my
diamond tiara to be appraised and
valued, and to offer the same to either
of my aforesaid children Alice, Ange-
lima, Ellen and Eugene-for the pur-
chase of the same at the appraised
value; and, if more than one want TO
purchase, then to sell the same unto
that one of my children who will give
the largest amount of money therefor !;
and the proceeds of the same to be di-
vided among my four children afore
said IL none OF my children are de
sirous to purchase the said tiara, then
direct my executors to sell the same
and distribute the proceeds as afore.

In Leland's g Egyptian Sketch

and chanted with tremendous energy,
and, as the spirit entered them, let off
cries much like those which are to be
heard in camp-meetings and at revivals.
Then they begin to bow, keeping the

they bowed altogether they uttered
what I believe was Allah! Recovering
their perpendicular they bowed and
Allah'd again. They increased the
time, working magnifcently in about
q minute the whole fifty of them went
like one man, and the Jerks were
superb Closing my eyes, realized a
curious thing-that no one could have
distinguished by sound alone any diff

Suddenly one of the dervishes, who

How the Rainbow is Made.

Professor Tyndall, writing to Ma
| ture, conbats the notion, entertained
by many, that the rainbow is reflected
after the fashion Of an ordinary float
ing cloud which emits light in all di-
rections, and which, by the light thus
emitted, paints it's image in the water
bow as follows: Draw circle to rep
resent rain drop, or rather section
of it, by plane passing through it's
center, the sun, and the eye Draw
straight line through the center
to represent a solar ray of mean re-
tranquility. At the front and back of
the drop, reflection OCCURS, and the in
cidence being normal, the incident AID
reflected beams will coincide after the
emergence of the latter from the drop.
Now suppose the ray through the cen
ter to move parallel to itself, the Incl
dence grows more and more oblique,
refraction occurs at entrance and emer-
gence, the ray finally becoming a
tangent to the drop. Let the incident
and the twice refracted and once re-
fected rays be produced backward till
they intersect behind the drop the
| angie disclosed between Jnem augmenGS
with the obliquity, reaches a maximum
and diminishes The ray corresponding
in obliquity with this maximum
angular value, and those in its
Immediate vicinity, quit the drop
sensibly parallel, and these are the
rays which are efectual in the rainbow.
This angle being fer red light AZ deg.
and for violet light 40 deg, for light of
mean refrangib1lity it is Al deg. If
those parallel rays before reaching the
observers eye, impinge upon a surface
of calm water, they are in part reflected
according to the usual law, and rain
bow is seen by reflection. But the alb
solute position Of the bow changes with
every change in the position of the OBJ
servers eye; hence the bow seen mir
rored in the pool is not the reflection
of that seen at the same time directly
in the heavens. Suppose the shower to
be fixed in space, then the drops which
produce the bow seen directly, would
not produce the bow as seen by re-
Election.

PRINCE NAPOLEON.

A telegram from London, dated Aug
10, says six hundred French Imperialists
met at Chiselhurst On that date anc
celebrated the fete Gay OF the late EN-
peror. Prince Louis Napoleon made q
speech in the course of which he said
8 Planting myself as an exile near the
tomb of the Emperor, 1 represent his
teachings, which may be summarized in
the motto: Govern for the people ny

cheered and the meeting was most
enthusiastic.
One of the most singular and interest
ing characters Of the present time, this
Imperial Democrat would seem to be.
Justin Mccarthy, in his sketches of
modern leaders, portrays him as man
of middle age, with a smooth, broad,
thoughtful brow, character of command
about the finely formed, somewhat SEN
suous lips, but still dignified and i'm
posing. His face expresses dissatisfac-
ton, disappointment, sullenness. SEN
suousness, great power and daring
ambition repressed or frustrated-the
face of Bonaparte, very like that of
the great Napoleon. The Prince has
been before the world more or less for a
quarter of century, though generally
regarded With disfavor In the French
Senate in 1861, he delivered an Grafton

10. o. F.-The proceedings of the
Grand Lodge of 1. o. o. F. of the State
OF Nevada, held at Carson in June, have
been published in pamphlet form.
From an abstract of the semi-annual
reports for the term commencing Janu-
airy LIST and ending July 8, 1873, we learn
that there are % Lodges in this State,
with membership of 1887.
The amount of the semi-annual rev
enue is $40, 2O6 80. Some idea of the
amount of work performed can be OBJ
tanned in the facts that during the year
1872 the number of brothers relieved was
1893, and five widowed families. The
amount paid for the relief of brothers
and widows was 81, LIP.

until he can place a new stock on the
