Romantic Will Case.

An extraordinary will case is
now attracting attention in
Michigan. For twenty-five OF
thirty years everybody about
Troy, n. Y, had supposed A.
braham Schryver dead. When
his wife's father died he settled
up the estate and decamped with
the proceeds,am to near
.ly Il million dollars, leaving his
wife to provide as best she
could for four children and a
young babe. For months she
suffered agonies of suspense
and grief on account Of the
mysterious disappearance. Then
came the news that he was in
Canada, and later still the de-
serted wife received a newspa-
per from Canada containing an
obituary Of "the late Abraham
Schryver," and thenceforward
she and her children gave him
up as dead. She struggled ON
and brought them up well, and
now when she is old and her
middle aged children are mar
ried and settled about her, the
story Of his wanderings is re-
vealed to them in a most start
ling and dramatic manner
Schryver appeared to have set
tied in Port Huron, Mich. He
was recently on his death-bed,
and his house-keeper allowed
no one to watch over him in dy-
ing moments but herself. He
di ed, and his will, made at mid
night and witnessed by hotel |
servants, left the bulk of his
large property to his supposed
wife. Only$500 was bequeathed
to & daughter whom he had u
dopted, and dissatisfied with this
will, and knowing that the tes-
tatOr had not been exactly in /
his right mind, she wrote to
Troy for some information a.
bout Abraham Schryver and
his relations. The SchryvcrI
investigated the affair, |
and will contest the Will on the |
ground that the father was ret
IN his right mind, and that the .
Instruments for9ery,as shown
by mistakes he could not have |
fallen into concerning his own
.amily.

Tea Culture in Florida.

It may not be generally
known, but the fact is none the
less patent, that the genuine
tea-plant is growing profusely
all over the suburbs of the city,
and presents quite a thriving

We are informed by a promi-

an old resident, that he uses no
other tea in his family. He
plucks and dries what he re-
quires for his own use and says
it is equal to any black tea Of

Cufeo in the Army.

The Savannah News says, there
is trouble brewing in the army,aud
there is fear that it will result in
characterization. Secretary Bel
nap says that be will assign color
ed graduates Of West Point ex-
clusively to commands in white
regiments, and in explanation of
this he states that the law leaves
him no discretion. lie is requit-
ed to officer colored men eXclu.
siVely with white men, and he
therefore has no choice but to as
sign coiored men to white reg
iments. The Journal Of Com
merce thinks that the effect Of this
will be to stimulate prejudices. and
that the esprit du corps Of the
army will be impaired by arouSing
race prtjudices. But wherefore?
Has is 1t not been asserted time
and again in the ears of the ne
groes that the boys in blue fought
iog the freedom and equality Of
the colored race? 1t is coming
to a pretty pass indeed, if the
Federal troops, who she'd their
blood for the equaIiiyof the blacks,
are TO mutiny because they are to
be officered with colored cadets
For what was the war fought if
the soldiers do not submit to be
commanded by negloes?
