John Hardin, an Irishman, formerly
AN importer of Irish linens, and recently
an operator in stocks, died intestate
March s. 1872, leaving a wife but no
children, and his estate was worth a
million and half in stocks and bonds
and other personal property. After his
death A. F. Trowbridge and his widow,

administration upon the estate, which
is now claimed by his nephews and
/ grand nephews on the ground that he
was never legitimately married; that he
merely placed a ring on the woman's

DEATH ELSEWHERE.

The yellow-fever is prevailing in the
towns of Bryant, Calvert and Colum-
bus. in the State of Texas. From these
towns the citizens whowere able to leave,
have fed, and the disease is OF very
malignant type. 1t is on the increase
in Columbus, and that town Is almost
depopulated. In Bryant and Cal-
vert business is almost wholly
sp.nended. Galveston is acting
very nobly in sending relief to
these unfortunate towns. May the drea'

DFFRRRED HOPES.

sHope deferred maketh the healt
siek.u So we have felt for this many
dav. Six weeks ago to-day the board
of health announced the existence Of
yellow-fever in Memphis. Almost ev-
ery day since has been
day of hope alas! Of hope de-
ferred! Just fifteen hundred souls
have passed away, taking with them,
in the evening, the hope born in the
morning. Rain succeeded TO sunshine
and frost to frost, and still the mysteri-
GUS reaper works, still he breaks ruth
Iessly upon the family circle to steal the
tender, the brave and the fair. We
have hoped against hope, and still hope,
but, we fear, in vain. All pre-
dietions fail US. Now we claim that
frost has done its work of breaking the
backbone of the fell destroyer, and forth
with fall to discounting the days, the
hours, Of the epidemic. Again We have
warm and sultry nights and
davs, and with them propagation
and spread of the infection and
all is gloom where before there was
gladness. There is nothing certain but
death. The mortuary report OF yester'
dav warns Us Of this, and that all signs
fail. Twenty-eight deaths, twenty-foul
from vellow-fever and four from othel
causes, sounds like going back to tho
blood-curdling figures Of last week
The day before the repor
said twenty-seven deaths, twenty-thre'
from veIlow-fever and four from othe
causes. The new cases reported yester
dav are not so many as those of the da!
before, but the weather is changing ant
We fear that our hopes are again to b
blighted. We have almost ceased I
hope, and have all but surrendered ouE
selves to the apprehension of anothe
month with the plague, with sorrow
with destitution, with grief, with wanI
woe and death. Our hope is deferred an
yes we have faith in the strong arm
and willing hearts and hands OF tn
noble army of workers who have earne
for themselves immortal honoIs. w
have faith in works, in vigilant seli-r'
lance, and the potency of the INTEL
gently directed efforts Of the board
health. We must fight it out on th
line; there is no retreat now.

Attorney-General Williams and the sec
