II is astonishing how many esta

IT is astonishing how many estates
there are that belong to other persons
than those who hold them, if We may
credit the would-be heirs. The heirs, of
Anneke Jams are counted by thousands,
and they really expect to get the prop
erty. The whole town Of Pittsfeld be-
longs, according TO- some historians. to
the Stoddard family, but we are happy
to say that they do not want it, and there
are many such cases in this country.
But England and, Scotland furnish the
best field for the operations of these for
tune hunters. The last instance of this
delusion comes from the East. A dis
patch says: The Mari heirs met at
Portland, Maine, and formed an associa-
ton called the, MARI Claim Association,
to prosecute their claims to the estate of
Mari, in Scotland, worth $50, ,00O, 900.
They voted to accept the services OF Ed
ward Passon, of Portland, now in En-
gland looking up a similar claim. and
raised some money for the purpose, Of
prosecuting the claim" They may raise
money and spend it until they get tired
of the work. but they will mar, not
mend, their fortunes. M

GOOD WORDS.

The Hon. Horatio Seymour and VIII
liam Cullen Bryant were entertained
quite recently in Charleston, while on
their way home from tour in Florida.
In response to a toast, Mr.. Bryant said !:
"He hoped the moral wounds of the
war would be healed and greened over
with new, health-giving growths of moral
sentiments and. impulses, which would
make the picture fairer even than it was
before the rude shocks of war had marred
its beauty. He trusted and believed the
chivalrous, knightly, generous race
which had made Southern society what
it was in happier days before the war
preserved even in its overthrow the
vitality which would produce from the
fallen trunk new shoots of life and vigor,
which would restore in more than pristine
beauty the fair fabric of the Southern
Commonwealth" i'l-
"A Gov. Seymour spoke as follows: 1.-THE
South" he said, chad now passed
through, and was rapidly emerging from,
the difficulties and embarrassmentswhich
had followed in the wake of war, and
her future promised to be bright and
glorious, and it remained to be seen
whether the South had not, in the long
run, come better out of the conflict than
the North. There had been less of ma
terial disaster Immediately following the
war, but its events had enkindled a spirit
of gigantic speculations, unsafe ventures,
and q perversion of business principles
to the spirit Of gambling on a tremend-
ous scale, SO that it was painful to con-
template the possible result in the next
few years.

The Augusta (Ga.) Constifutiondlisl Demo
cratic) does not agree with the Chicago Trib-
une that the Democratic paaty, the great
party Of the people" is defunct. There are
quite q number Of other Democratic papers
that have expressed themselves in the same
way.-Nese York Herald. 81 'siiftt1r 20 =
The Democratic party has been dead
these dozen years, and its heir and sue
cessor, the Liberal" party, has been
very dead since November last. In the
meantime the real "party of the people
the Republican Observation-Disclosures
ing the falling from grace of here and
there weak-kneed member or de-
moraized leader, continues TO have the
confidence of the intelligent multitude,
and is in fact now, as it has been in the
nations trying ordeals of the past, the
anchor of the country's best hopesand as
pirations. Being the party of the people,
the people viii, We trust, keepit in their
own straight line. They have the power
to do it, and will be themselves to blame
if they do not do it. To it the country
will look, and not look in vain, for good
government, purity of principle, and a
true patriotism. The 7,ribuaes and
Herald of scheming politics may at
tempt to galvanize the old Democratic
party into q show of new life, or to
organize the incongruous elements of
political soreheadism and diabolism into
"great" new party, but they will fail.
So long as the organs and true leaders
of Repablicanism will firmly and honestly
maintain the integrity Of the Republican
party, insist upon the practical enforce
nient Of its enunciated principles, and
denounce the wrong acts and the treach-
cry of its pretended representatives in
Congress or out of it, that party will
continue to deserve and receive the sup
port of the popular voice and vote. In
other words, 80 long as the Republican
party will be true to itself, it will con-
tinue to BE- the party of all true: men. 8

A BIG GOAT RANCH.

They must needs do things on an ex-
tensive scale in California or not do
them at all. The latest enterprise is
that Of converting Guadaloupe Island,
lying off the coast Of Lower California,
into a vast Angora goat ranch. The
island has an area of 166, 400 acres, and
is the property of an incorporated COM
pany. 1t is we'll watered, and is said to
contain 200, 900 wild goats, the descend
snts OF stock. left by the Jesuit Fathers
aieout the commencement of the present
century. OF late years, several thou
sand Of these goats have been killed
every year for their hides and tallow. It
is to improve these goats, to make their
fieeces valuable, that the Guadaloupe
Island Company has been organized.
Fifty Angora bucks have already been
sent to the island. Four Of them are
imported animals valued at $3.50 each,
while the remainder are of California
stock, and are valued at 500 per head.
The company has also purchased 800
grade fleece-bearing ewes, which, with
their offspring of this year, aggregating
over 2,OOO head, will be sent to the
island thescoming fall All the bucks
of the common goats win be slaughtered
next winter, and the same course viii be
pursued with the half breed bucks next
season. Then in four or five years it is
expected that all the goats viii have
marketable fieeces.

The President and the Salary Act.

Among the resolutions adopted by the
Springfield Farmers Convention, was
one censuring the President for not
vetoing the bill containing the provision
for the increase of salaries. As much
has been said about this, it may be well
to examine the matter little. The
salary clause, could not be considered
separately by the President, and if he
had declined to give it his sanction, the
whole Legislative Appropriation bill
would have failed. The bill provides
the pay for all the officers of the Gov
ernment and the contingent expenses Of
all the offices. The Legislative, Judicial
and executive branches, with all their
thousand attaches, great and small, are
dependent on this bill for their pay.
But, beside these, there were incOrpor-
ated in the bill three other important
provisions, all Of which would likewise
have failed had the President vetoed the
measure. One. was provision relating
to the disposition of captured and aban-
doned property, a long-considered and
vexed question that was finally disposed
of by the bill. Another was the clause,
presented and advocated by the Wilson
Credit Mobilier Committee, providing
that suits shall be brought to recover al
moneys OF which the Pacific railway Has
been defrauded by the Credit Mobilier.
A third was the Senate amendment in
structing the Secretary of the Treasury
to withhold all payments to the Pacific
railway, on account of transportation of
mails and supplies, until the Govern
ment shall be reimbursed for the in
terest it has paid on tue bonds or the
road.
1.-THE PRESIDENT had vetoed the Bill
NOS only would the approp priation Afor
carrying on the Government have failed,
but these important measures also. An
extra session of Congress would have
been inevitable, involving an expense
amounting to more than the salary in
crease. and with the ultimate result,
probably, OF the repaasage Of the bill.
These considerations were IN themselves
sufficient 10 cause the President to hesi-
tate. But there was another Of even
more weight. The Congress is com
nosed of the immediate representative
Of the people. For the President to as
sumo that they were placing false
value upon their services, and inform

A PROMISING YOUTH.

New YoRk has precocious youth,
who will yet reach Congress, or some
worse place, if he only perseveres in the
path upon which he has started. This
youthful member Of the rising genera
tion is credited with the conception and
execution of the worst practical joke Of
Apfilifools' day. hn According to the
World, he woke up the inmates Of the
house in which he, and his mother, with
other persons, reside, by personstins
both burglar and defender Of his
house against burglars. He had smeared
the wall with reddish fluid to appear
like blood had forced the scuttle cover
open, and then, when all was in readi-i
ness, fired, like valiant rnan-atarms,
three times at vacancy. His mother was
frightened. The boy with admirable
forethought reloaded his pistol, handed
it to his mother, and only then walked
off to the police station to inform the
captain of what had occurred. The police
searched the house and the neighbor-
hood, but without result. An examina.
ton in daylight showed the whole thing
was scandalous hoax The stuff on
the table and walls was the worst imita-
ton Of blood imaginable. It was sort
OF greasy, transparent paint, and be-
trayed home manufacture at q glance.
The scuttle was forced from the inside,
the impression of q stove-shaker near the
latch being very apparent, and the latch
staple had been hammered over the out
side where it was easy to draw. The
bullet at the head of the bed and the
bullet picked up under the window in the
yard corresponded with each other and
with those in q box of Smith & Wesaon's
cartridges, avowedly the property of the
hopeful youth. Altogether the joke was
cunningly planned, but was defective as
scheme to hoax o policeman with half
a gram of persplcuity.

them that he would regulate their pay
according to his own ideas of fitness,
would have been an act for which he
would have been rouhdly denounced;
and though this interference was richly
deserved in this case, the question Of it's
propriety is very serious one. Tne
President is not elected to guard the
people against their owl, representa-
Gves, but he is to " take care that the
laws are faithfully executed." Although
he is clothed with extraordinary power
which, upon occasion, he can exercise,
it may we'll be doubted If it would be q
proper time to interpose his veto where
the subject Of an act related simply to
the pay of members of Congress- q
matter which is LEFT. by the Constitution
entirely under their own control and
subject to their own regulation. 81

a reasonable salary at the foundation of

GERS have been doubled and trebled,
while that of the President has remained
the same. It is even now not the half
of what is drawn by high officials in Eu-
rope, and great country like this
ought not to be too niggardly with its
chief executive. Besides, the Presi-
dents salary was not retroactive; there
was no grab of back pay in his case,
the increase only applying to the fu-
ture. 80. ~ -e-4..
In view of these facts, we do not think
the Presidents course calls for censure

THE TELLTALE DIAMOND.
Leaf from n Detective,s Life,

Leaf from n Detectives Lie,
On the night of January 10, 18-, the
Clifton Bank was entered by burglars,
who made good their escape with thirty
thousand dollars in their possession. As
soon as the robbery became known, I
repaired to the bank and sought the
President, to whom presented my Gre
dentials, and made known my intentions
of commencing work at once. The. old
gentleman readily acquiesced, and to-
gether we passed into the main Office,
where several spruce looking young men
we're scratching away as unconcernedly
as if they had not been engaged in an
animated discussion of the robbery only
a minute before. I glanced at them
sharply, but saw nothing suspicious in
their looks, and concluded it would be a
waste of time to question them.
Iexamined the lock of the door OPEN
ing upon the street, and found it had
not been tampered with, although the
first arrival had found the door ajar. I
next turned my attention to door open
ing upon the rear, and found it securely
locked, in which condition it had been,

night before. ~ -,... .ia ~

The clerk addressed was about TO obey
when sudden thought struck me and l
called him back.
You need not trouble Mr.. N ;
but if the ianitor can be found ask him
to step down for minute or two." s-ls
In less than two minutes the clerk re-
turned with the janitor-a broad-shoul-
dered Irishman, whose answers to my
qsestions were given in such straight
inward manner that I at once exoner-
led him from all blame.
"You lock up after the clerks have
epnes home, do You not?" I inquired,
boking the man in the eyes.

SOME PRIsoy $ STATISTICS.

Agood many sentimental people favor
imprisonment for life instead Of hanging
as the punishment fer murder. They
argue that q man is justsas secure from
liability to cornmit further crime behind
iron bars, as he would be if hanged and
buried under ,ix feet of ground. But
statistics show that there is virtually no
such thing as imprisonment for life in
this country. Governors, who have full
power to grant pardons, are elected in
many of the States annually; while the
longest period for which any of them are
elected is four years. Before each Of
these in turn an appeal is made for full
pardon or for shortening the term of inn
prisonment !; and from one or another of
them an order is issued to set aside the
sentence Of the court. The reports OF
the prison at Auburn, N. Y, show that
between the years 1913 and 1868 there
we're received 214,persons who were con-
-demned for life. OF this number 134
were pardoned; s. became, insane 30
committed suicide; and 10 were trans
ferred to other prisons. In Massachu-
setts, one-half Of those sentenced to
prison for life are pardoned out !; while
in several OF the States the percentage
that received pardons is considerably
greatsr.y In-seme instances one Gov
ernor substitutes imprisonment for life
for hanging; ! his successor cuts this
down to- . term Of years !; while . third
man, whose sympathies are strong, grants
q full and unconditional pardon.
