HARRIET MARTINEAU'S WILL.-Mrs
Martineau's personal property, valued
at $4,000, is divided among her natural
heirs, and her home at Ambleside goes
to her sister, Mrs. Higginson, of Liver
pool. All her manuscripts and private
letters are given to her nephew and ex-
ecutor, Thomas Martineau, to publish
according to her instructions, but no
private letter of hers is to be Published.
Thomas MRrtineau is to aid Mrs. Chap
man, of Boston, in the publication of
her autobiography, the latter making
such additions as she pleases, and re-
ceiving one-fOurth share of the profits of
the work, besides legacy left to her as
editor. The will contains one peculiar
provision which should be mentioned
as indicating the character of the testa-
triX. at is my DESIRE" she says, "frOm
an interest in the progress of scientific
investigation, that my skull be given to
Henry George Atkinson, of upper GlOu-
cester place, London, and also my brain,
if my death should take place within
such distance of his then present abode
as to enable him to have it for purposes
of scientific observation" By the sec
ond codicil, dated October 5, 1872, this
direction is revoked; "but," the codicil
proceeds, 81 wish to leave it on record
that this alteration in my testamentary
directions is not caused by any change
of opinion as to the Importance Of scien-
tific observation on such subjects, but is
made in consequence merely of a change
Of ofcircumstances in my individual case"

A SCENE IN THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL
MANSION.-It has become lately a habit
with many of US to look upon Washing
ton as a magnificent, proper, but rather
wooden figure-head of the new nation.
There can be no doubt, from contempo-
rary records, that, on the contrary, he
eXerted a tremendous personal mag
netism. He was clumsy, slow, heavy
man, but with sad sincerity of great
purpose in every word and action.
''There was an indescribable something
in Washington" says one of his con-
temporaries, (which awed every man
who came in contact with him." We
have many pictures of this brilliant
court of Philadelphia, but none which
please US so much as the story of girl
friend of lovely Nelly Custis, wlhs spent
night in the Presidents mansion.
When ten o'clock came, Mrs. Washing
ton retired, and her granddaughter ac-
companied her, and read chapter and
psalm from the old family Bible. All
then knelt together in prayer, and when
Mrs. Washington's maid had prepared
her for bed, Nelly sang a soothing
hymn, and, leaning over her, received
from her some words of counsel and her
kiss and blessing. g.-ScribneT' Magazine.

The radicals having nc other grounds upon
which to base their appeals for further lease

which they keep employed with an industry
worthy of better cause. For the last month
their orators have spoken and written unceaslne
of the Hamburg Outrage, but they have stu
d;ously avoided noticing an affair that occurred
but a short distance from Hamburg last Fri
day, and the particulars Of which are as stated
as follows by the same paper that gave the &C.
count OF the Hamburg outrage, upon which
they rely for their version OF that affair:
Five thousand negroes assembled 1T Able.
vile on Friday to see the hanging of Coleman,
he negro murderer. Many OF item were a. III
ed. Great excitement prevailed 10 the town
during the day aud night, and 1t was with great
difficulty that the negroes were restrained from

were ue,ivercl ny older aud more prominent
citizens ia the interest of peace and order.

control the crowd, aud were ordered not TO at
tempt any arrests for fear of preclpitatiGg IL
collision.
"Coemaus reprieve was read at The court
house by the sheriff, in the hope Of dispensing
the crowd, but had no such effect. The cti-
z.us were requested by the iutcudant to retire
10 their hom"s and it was thought advisable
at one tiluc to call out the local military com
pany. 1t was thought several times that The
riot had &c ullly commenced, but no decd OF
violence has been reported.
After light all malr RS grew worse. Armed
negro occupied the court house square aud
