PRESBYTERIAN Board of Missions as

PRESBYTERIAN Board of Missions as
trustees to receive the $4,000 as be-
queathed to those societies. The will
was in marked variance from the uni
form declarations of her long life previ-
Gus to 1866.
OF the idea that her souls salvation
could be secured only by making the
new disposition she proposed, the Rev.
DR.. Paxton could never dlsabuse her.
The apprehensions Of the danger of her
soul did not cease until she discovered,
as she thought, that it could only be
removed by a gift of her property to
religious uses; and against his most
earnest argument this idea held suprem-
acy.
After the will had been signed, her
fears of immediate danger from the
presence of the devil and fire were dis
sipated, and she passed into a condition
of comparative mental quiet, which con-
tinued for few months.
Then her language became profane,
required two or three hours to dress
her. She heard noises at night; she
thought that persons often came into
her room to disturb her; that at mid
night her hair was pulled, and had va
rious other fancies.
The controversy over Mrs. Douglas
Cruger's will has been essentially con-
test only on the point of testanentary
capacity. Surrogate Hutchings said :
ST hold that the decedent, at the time
of the execution of the alleged will, was,
and had been fornearly two years, incapa-
BILE, from mental incapacity, OF making
a testamentary disposition of her prop
erty; further, that the will and codicil
were both the offspring of an unsound
mind; and that the insanity Of decedent
continued until it reached the stage of
senile denentia, In which her life ter
minated.
A decree will, therefore, be entered,
rejecting the papers propounded as not
entitled to admission to probate, and
that the decedent died intestate."

A New Style of Electric Indicators.

The introduction Of electric indicators
and signals into our hotels and other
buildings has at present been made of
service only as indicating the room from
which the bell was rung. This SIGNAL
has to be answered by waiter, who is
then dispatched on some slight errand,
such as bringing water, calling general
messenger, etc. Recognizing the value
of some Improvement which would en-
able the occupant of the room to indi-
cate within limited range the purpose
of the signal, M. Detrayeux has devised
the following plan, which is favorably
noticed In the Bulletin de la Societe
Encouragement Under each number
of the indicator at the clerks desk
there is placed board on which is a
printed list of the more common re-
quirements in hotels. Over this list an
index needle is so adjusted that it
may move freely up and down, stop
ping before any Lame upon it. In the
travellers room is corresponding list
and index-fnger in addition to the COM
mon button now in use. The general
operation of the device is as follows:
The occupant of the room adjusts the
index needle SO that it shall point to the
desired object, and then touches the
electric button. The signal is transmit
ted to the indicator, which, being con-
structed with a view to the complica-
tions, rings bell, at the same time
causing tie index-needle to Ii owe to ac-
cord with the one at the more distant
end of the line. The attention of the
waiter or hall-boy is attracted by the
bell, and he reads its purpose from the
lis, indicated by the needle, and, hav-
ing restored the latter to its place, pro-
ceeds to answer the request without
further inquiry.

Marriage of School Children.

Some excitement was aroused in
Springfield, Mass, on Friday by the
announcement that two young members
of wel-known and greatly respected
families were married on the 4th of
July, 1874 Their engagement had
been long announced, and their we'd
ding was to take place this summer,
and preparations had actively begun in
both families. when the proposed
future bridegroom remarked casually
that they were making q great fuss for
nothing, as they had already been
married almost q year. This dec
laration created the utmost aston
ishment, neither family having had a
suspicion of the rue state OF the case,
so circumspectly had the young couple
behaved. The wedding preparations
were, of course, abandoned and the
couple star ted on their bridal without
further ceremony. It is understood
that the parents on both sides were IA
vorable to the match, but averse to the
marriage taking place last year; where
upon the young folks took the matter IN
their own hands and contracted secret
marriage during pleasure drive to En-
field, CT, on Independence day. The
husband of year IS a student OF Har-
ward College, and son Of prominent
railroad official. His wife has steadily
attended fashionable boarding school,
where, until lately, it was understood
she was fitting for Vassar College.

DENYING the Deluge.

Persians and the great mass of the
Magians deny the deluge altogether;
they believe that the rulership (of the
world) has remained with them without
any interruption ever since Gayomarks
(Gilsheh), who was, according to them,
the first man. La denying the deluge
the Indians, Chinese and the various
nations of the east concur with them.
Some of the Persians, however, admit
the fact of the deluge, but account for
it in another way, as it is described in
the books of he prophets. They say
partial deluge occurred in Syria and the
west in the time of Tahmurash, but that
it did not extend over the whole of the
civilized world, and only few nations
were submerged in it. 1t did not ex
tend be- ond the peak OF Holwan, and
did not reach the countries of the east

Abernethy's Proposal.

It is told that Abernethy, while at
tending lady for several weeks, OBJ
served those admirable qualities in her
daughter which he truly esteemed to
be calculated to render the marriage
state happy. Accordingly, on Satur-
dav, when taking leave of his patient, he
addressed her to the following purport:
Your are now 80 well that I need not
see you after Monday next, when I
shall come and pay you my farewell
visit. But in the meantime wish you
and your daughter seriously to consider
the proposal am about to make. It is
abrupt and unceremonious, am aware;
but the excessive occupation of
my time by my professional du-
tics affords me no leisure to ac-
compiish what desire by the mere or
binary course OF attention and solicita-
ton. My annual receipts amount to
-, and I can settle - on my wife;
my character is generally known to the
public, so that you may readily ascer-
tain what it is. / have seen in your
daughter tender and affectionate child,
an assiduous and careful nurse, and a
gentle and lady-lik member of family;
such person must be all that hus-
band covets. and I offer my hand and
fortune for her acceptance. On Mon
day, when call, [ shall expect your
determination, for I really have not
time for the routine of courtship" In
this numor the lady was wooed and won !,
and we believe we may add, the union
was felicitous in every respect.
