Mrs, Cora Livingston Barton.

We announced the death of this remark
abl lady some weeks ago. We learn that
her Will was admitted 20 probate before
Surrogate Dorland, in Poughkeepsie. last
Monday. William Alien Butler. OF New
York city, appeared in behalf OF the ex-
ecutors, and although there are over seven
ty heirs-at-law, there IS no contest. The
executors qualifying were Charles o.
Pinckney, Arthur Leary. Louis Livingston
Hunt, NJ. Livingston Delatield. Of New
York city, and Carleton Hunt, Of New Or
leans. The will devises property 70 the
amount Of nearly 100000. Among the
beIuests is one to the Charity Hospital in
New Orleans Of the sum Of $1,000. The
Old mansion at Red Hook. known as Mont
Hunt, Louisa Livingston Hun: ana Julia
Barton Hunt.
Mrs. Barton was a native Of this city.
and daughter Of Hon. Edward Living
ston, one Of the most celebrated men N the
history of Louisiana. Livingston, We be.
lieve, was born in the old mansion, which
has just been bequeathed in part 20 our dis
tinguished townsman, Mr.. Hunt, IN l76i.
He was a member Of Congress from New
York when Washington was President,
aud politically, an ardent Republican. He
removed to Louisiana in 1904. During the
war of 1876, he was an aide OF the stiff OF
General jackson. and defended him in
cour: when the General was arranged
before Judge Hall On the famous contempt
case. He was the author Of the code Of
legal practice which, with all the cbjec-
tons urged to it, has withstOod nearly ali
attempts at innovation to this day. He
was q member of Congress in 1923 from
Louisiana, and in 1899 was chosen TO the
United States Senate, and in 1881 served
as Secretary Of State under President Jack
son. He was subsequently appointed Min
lister to France. Mr.. Livingston died in
1886; but while he lived he reflect
ed lustre upon our State that
will cause his name TO be long re-
membered and his memory warmly cher
ished. His daughter Cora is kindly cemem-
bered by many Of our older residents,
though after she grew to womsnhood she
was absent from onr city with her father
while his duties called him abroad; and
after her marriage to Mr.. Barton she rarely
if ever returned to our city. She died few
weeks ago. and in generous recollection of
the city that gave her birth she has desig-
mated in her will one Of our noblest chari-
ties as the recipient of a handsome beIuest.

Coon ADv1cE.-An exchange speaks

Coop ADvICE.-An exchange speaks
our mind in the following paragraph :
When you want anything, no matter
what it is, always try to get it at home
before you go abroad. In 60 doing the
money is kept at home and is passed
from one person to another, all of whom
make little out of it, and thus the COM
munity grows wealthy, whereas, if you
send it out of the country it hes the
same effect wherever it is sent, and the
result is, that while we grow poor we are
helping the other community to grow
Itch. You may think sometimes that
you can save money by going away TO
spend it. You may for short GIne, but
in the end it is always against you and
the community in which you live, and in
favor of some other. Do your trading
at your home stores, get your printing
done at home-in short, whenever you
have any money to spend, spend it at
home. And especially if there is any
thing manufactured at homo be sure 90
use it, if you buy anything OF the kind
at all, for by SO doing you are building
up the country IN which you live, and
adding, not only to the manufacturers
wealth but 20 your own, for you get the
benefit ineideL sally, though it be, of
every cent that IS expended in your por-
ton of the country. Therefore when
YOU have any mon.sy to spend, spend it
at home, and the time viii surely come
when YOU viii see that you bare yuw re-
ward
