Special Notice.

To all whom it may concern: Between Juno
first and July thirtieth, 1874, I gave two notes
70, about Eight Dollars each, to Whitman 4
Brown, Of Spring Valley, Fillmore County.
for a pump which they put into my we'll.
Said pump WAS warranted to be good, but has
proved WORTHLESS. for the purpose for which it
was intended, and I have so notified the said
Whitman d Brown, and this notice is to warn
all persons whomsuever against negotiating
or purchasing raid notes, as do not intend
70 pay either Of them.

Htlnate ~ TO the Real and Personal
Property Of the Late w. B. Aston.

NV York Tribune, Nov. p.
~, The will Of the late William B. Ast"r
las not yet been presented for probate in
the sarrogate's, Office. ills expected to BE-
4 long document, such a. would fill sever
al columns Of the Tribune. There la:
been much speculation rs TO the value of
the real and pcrs"nsl property lct' by Nj.
As'or. Some If the amounts named ar
alleged by experienced financiers to bc
simply ridiculous. BY some the value OF
Mr.. Aslur's real and personal property was
placed ~ high MS $500 600 OG0, ~l,.le vcr,
many estimate i, a, not less than $780,.
o00.OO0. In the obituary Of Mr.. Aslo'
printed In the Tribune the estimate of hi>
property was given as not to exceed $780,.
100000. Those whose opinions are Ell
titled to weight say that this is probabl,
ncarcr right than the larger estimates.
A gentleman Whose word carries weight
in matters If this kind said that a fair
basis o.. which to figure would be f15,-
100000 a. the amount Of real and personal
property left by John Jacob Astor to hi>
son William At the dcall, OF the fnrn,c, il
l848. The estate If John Jacob Aston was
estimated at $2S, 0OO, 900, ard the bulk OF
1t Was LET, to William b. Aston at the time
Of his death. 1t would probably be much
nearer SIS OO0,O 700 than geo, OOO, COO, us The
tendency was always TO exaggera,e the
wealth Of rich man. However, this gen.
,'eman said, allow $4,000 600 as the
amount left Vim. B. Astor. This amount .,
six per cent interest for - years-,hc time
which has elapsed since the death If John
jacob As'or-would have added $24,000,-
600 to the principal, making total OF
:&39; 800 900. Or, if The amount left Wn
II. Aston was $18,C0O00O, the interest a, Is
per cent. would be $29 ,OS0. 600, and total
,"f in.crest and principal OF $47,0s0GO0
The compound interest and increase in
value Of certain portions Of the property
he thought, would be fairly offset by the
taxes and assessments on property allowed
1oE many years to remain unimprovcd, and
;osses Of various lands through deprccia-
sion OF other portions of the real estate
,4ad securities. MIR. Astor was known to
be very careful man, prefcrring small
and sure returns rather than vcnturcsome
risks, which might bring large returns
And might result in the loss Of the capital
invested. Were it capable Of dcmonstra-
sion, the gentleman said, he would be will
ling to risk his reputation for careful cal
eulation in saying thai the estate was to-
day worth less rather than oyer $5ODQQ,-
900.

place which Of right belonged to

that can never laud hin more.
Sheridan had only few hours be-
fore felt and acknowledged tn
power of the war worn corps OF
Gordon in the loss OF many soldiers
and eight pieces of artellery, so that
he felt u little sore and readily
availed himself Of the cessation of
to send an aid to the con
federatc camp to demand Gordon $

tent upon the work committed TO
him by Lee, refused, and when
Sheridan himself appeared upon

that, if surrender he must, ii would
not be to the man he bad just de-
Gated, ard so he surrendered with

Our people are too prone to judge of
the capacity of public men by their
ability to make speech. The result
is that many smooth tongued profess
sional politicians with an infinite sup
ply of buncomb, flowery platiludes and
gross fiattery can get up and pull the
woolright square down over the eyes
of "the bone and sinew'' as n general
rule. The prettier your average speak
or talks and the more noise lie makes,
the less his thought aud culture.
Thinking men rarely have "the rift of
gath When the time foraction comes,
however, the people have, in self-de-
Tense, to turn TO them Instead Of the
forensic gongs who infe-t every public
demonstration.
