RICHMOND,


The suit of Mrs. Edwin Forest for
her dover in the estate of the late
Mr.. Edwin Forest has been closed
by compromise. Mrs. Forest relin-
quished her right Of dover, and for
that REIMBURSEMENT receives assets
that aggregate $95, 600. OF this $95, J.
600 so, 600 are in the shape of a mort
gage on the Mount Saint Vincent
proverty in New York, the additional
$25, 900 in cash, from the Philadelphia
estate of the great tragsdian. 1t only
remains for the Auditor to acquiesce
in the settlement which the Orphans 8
Court approved. This approval was
applied Tor and obtained by the exec
utors, in accordance with the desire
of the Board of Managers of the
Edwin Forest Home" incorporated
by the Legislature of Pennsylvania.
So, after over twenty years Of liti-
cation, Mrs. Edwin Forest has re-
ceived the last of the actors earnings
that she is now ever likely to receive.
It would take but little strain of
the imagination to evoke the picture
Of the bitter husband rattling his pro-
test against his wife's receiving this
money on the lid of his coffin. He
clung to the stage till age and physical
suffering had untitled him for it,
seeking in its excitements refuge from
his bitter thoughts in retirement; and
when not acting, much Of his time
was spent in pouring over hisseeming
interminable lawsuits with the. wife
of his hate. He attained wealth. 1t
brought him no pleasure. He attain
ed to more than merit of the fame he
had acquired ere he had deserved it.
1t brought him no comfort. He
reached fairly the full height Of his
professional ambition, but in it he
found no satisfying delight. And
now that he is dead, and that his
name is inseparably entwined with
the art history of the country he so
| exclusively loved, the woman he
would have given his life to beggar
secures ample independence from his
vast earnings. He is a strange yet
powerful illustration of how utterly
that life is wasted whose chief mo-
tives of action are hate in lieu of love,
envy in lieu of emulation.-BroOklyn

The philadelphia correspondent of
the Iron Aye says: I'VE have to
chronicle contract which has just
been closed by the managers with
passenger railway company here, by
which they are to construct and oper-
ate within the Exhibition grounds a
double-track narrow gauge railroad,
which will traverse the entire circle
between the various buildings, a dis.
tance of some three and half miles.
The road is to be equipped with FIVE
locomotives and forty palace cars, all
of which are rendered the company
free of cost by different locomotive
and car builders of the country.
While this will be a great accommo-
dation in affording means of transit to
visitors, it will also be a splendid ad-
vertisement to the shops furnishing
the cars and engines. 1t is also a sug-
gestioD to numerous manufacturers Of
all sorts of cOnvcniences and comforts
to the public, to place them at the
disposal of the commission to be used
throughout the grounds, THUS accom-
modating the visitors and benefiting
themselves at the same timc."

Yesterday, when the old darkey
who sweers out the postofice got out
the hose to wash the windows from
the outside, the irresponsible boy was
around. He said he never had any
experience washing windows, but he
knew he could handle that pipe like
an old fireman, and the aged colored
man permitted him to try. The boy
raised the pipe. sprinkied three wo-
men as he brought it around over his
shoulder. and in the course of the
next two minutes he wet down eight
men, came near drowning out q Cass
avenue car, drenched girl and ran
fat man into the alley and over q
wheelbarrow. The janitor received q
gallon of water down behind his shirt
collar, and as he stepped in and took
the pipe he feelingly remarked:

The Owen County Journal is re-
sponsible for the following sensible
article: when you trade, trade with
merchants who advertise. You will
save money by it and get better goods.
Advertising brings the merchant Gus
toners, which enables him, first, to
turn his stock often; second, sell a
large quantity of goods at a small
margin Of profit; third, to make fre-
quent purchases and keep his stock
fresh. Go to the man who never ad-
vertises and you will fin6 stock of
goods which are shop worn and out of
date. He has plentiful lack Of Gus
toners and sales OF the rarest occur
renee. When he does sell. his profits
are large, because he must get liv-
ing, and his few customers have to
furnish it. Therefore save money
and get your moneys worth by trad
ing with the liberal advertiser.

guards of burglary-with exemplary
severity. In Dorsetshire, England,
which ten years ago was overrun with
them, there is now scarce q specimen
to be found, 50 salutary has been the
repressive effect of the immediate ap.
plication Of treatment of treadmill,
crank, and bread aod water in all
cases where symptoms of vagabond-
age have shown themselves. But the
most discouraging circumstance here
is that if we do get ruf1ian into Jail,
he doesn't stay there. We should like
to know how many have escaped from
Sing Sing in the last FIVE years. Not
improbably some of those who have
distinguished themselves at Barre and
ON the Vandalia line are among the
number. At one of the Continental
ails they stain every convict's nose .
deep orange red with some obstinate
pigment, whose color does not fade
away for weeks, so that the nose be-
comes ,detector in case of escape.
Sing Sing authorities might take the
hint. None need it more.

Heretofore law has been in force
in this State authorizing the assess
ment Of lands for the benefit of turn
pike roads passing through such lands.
Many suits sprang out OF the law, oc-
casioned by appeals taken from as
sessments. A number have been
pending in the Dearborn Circuit
Court on change of venue from Ohio
County. Judge Roberts dismissed
seven cares on motion, on the ground
that the Legislature at its last session
repealed the act authorizing the as

The New York Times, in an edi-
torial upon the subject of American
Brigandage and the remedy, recounts
some OF the more daring exploits in
crime committed in sparsely settled
communities, and makes the follow
ing suggestions:
People who live in crowded cities
have no idea OF the terror such doings
cause in secluded neighborhoods.
Women rise In the small hours of the
morning at the faintest sound, in dread
Of hideous masks bending over them,
and every valuable in the house seems
a source of terror. Is there, then, q
remedy? We think that there is. An
active body of well-mounted police,
always on the lookout for suspicious
characters, would do much to discour-
age depredators Of this kind. It is by
such means that immense tracts of
Australia have been cleared of those
bushrangers who in days gone by
struck terror into every heart. Tn
less some such system is adopted, the
country will become more and more
deserted. The sheriff and his posse,
who start In pursuit on such occa-
siOns, may be ever SO brave and ever
80 willing, but it requires practiced
hands to deal with this set Of scoun-
drels, who laugh all amateur pursuers
to scorn. The scenes lastyear at New
Rochelle, in the past winter at Judge
Van Brunt's, and last Tuesday at
Barre, stand out wildly in the mind 8
eye of thousands, and give rise to ap-
prehensioEs with which the brsvest
can sympathize. for, however great q
mans courage, it is an ugly thing for
him to wake up to find his house in
the possession of masked rufians, and
to see his family struggling in their
brutal arme. At present there is, in
most cases, no system of prevention in
operation, and scarcely any of detec-
ton.
Perhaps the best initiative in the
matter would be to treat the great
army of tramps-those advanced

that most people drink too much water,
especially during the hot season, and
many cnse Of sickness, many death,
II the truth were known, could be traced
to this cause. The following views Of
DR.. Hall, on this matter, arc especially
reasonable now, when the increasing heat
begins to increase the amount Of water
drank:
The longer one puts Off drinking water
In the morning especially In the summer,
the less lie will require through the day;
II much is drank during the forenoon the
thirst often increases, and very unpleas-

drinks the more strength hc has to ex-
