was in the vicinity. The remainder of the
Mosaic pavement was destroyed and lost
through the ignorance of workmen, this
portion only remaining. The boldness Of
design and the exquisite execution Of the

Cool Religion and Music.
EDITOR OF THE HERALD:

On Sunday attended divine worship at
Delaware Avenue Baptist Church and found
It cool and pleasant. During this very warm
weather would recommend my friends to
attend Delaware Avenue, as it the coolest
church in the city. But is 1t not singular
that, in such large congregation as this
church has, there is not more musical tai
ent, as we think the singing is the poorest Of
any church in the city. Iwould suggest to
the Church, that they procure the services
of good leader, and three good soprano
singers, as the balance of the choir will do,
with little practice.

time.


In 1853 Franklin c.. Gray died in
this city, leaving his infant daughter,
Frankiffa, all the estate he had ac-
qulred in California 1t was valued
at $237 900, and G.. j. Eaton and
Joseph Palmer were appointed exc
cutors. w. I'll. Gray, uncle of the
heiress, at once brought suit, claim
Ing a partnership in the estate to the
extent of oDe-fourth, and Eaton soon
after resigned his trust and claimed
another partnership for one-third.
These claims were respectively COM
promised for IL 900 and $50, 900. In
1866, r.. G. Galpin. a lawyer of New
York, Miss Gray's guardian, was sent
TO California to see to her interests,
and found most of her property APP
propriated by strangers. He brought
ejectment suits, and had John II.
Spring appointed in his stead. Spring
gave him for his services nominally
SIG, 900, but a lot transferred by
Spring as worth $11 900 is really val
ued at $40 900, and there is s 5000 in
cash belonging to the estate not ac-
counted for. Two years ago Miss
Gray came of age, and she has since
been fighting for her fathers bequest.
All but SAG, 900 of it had been eaten
up by the legal expenses, when she
was put in possession of it last week,
after twenty-five years of litigation.
The original property is now worth
more than a million doIlars.-M. Y.

The notice in the London Gazette
Of January stii, warning mariners not
to approach the Spanish coast east of
Bilboa, on account of the danger from
Carlist batteries planted there, will
suSgest the Thought that our govern
ment is treating a serious matter too
lightly. Being at peace with Spain
we have q right to trade with any part
of her territory. The governmental
Spain is bound to protect the property
of our countrynien when within the
limit&o f hereoast. We're any of our
seameh murdered or our ships burned
In one of her harbors we should insist
that the criminals should be punished
and compensation made by the Span
ish goyernment- 1t might plead that
1t is too weak to control its unruly
subjects or too poor to pay. If such
an excuse were offered we should in
,vite thht government to do justice or
prepare for reprisals, which would
samounti to o declaration of war. If
the government were really powerless
we should have the right 10 take its
place and defend the lives and proper
ty of our subjects. These elementary
-facts suffice to show the duties of our
government, In the present case, if
theCarfists injure any British ship,
we must look to Madrid for redress.
Either King Alfonso, or we, must as
sumo the police of the Spanish coasts.
Theplain duty of Spain. is to place a

the Carlist batteries. If the govern
ment will not protect its W coasts

may do.
