The Depression i'm Trade

1t seems, stretches around the world.
We hear of it in Asia and Australia, the
same as from America and Europe. The
stagnation is universal. The Peninsular
and Oriental line of steamers is the great
line connecting Europe with the East, and
in their recent report, the Directors, like
their brethren of the steamship service on
the North Atlantic, mention the slackness
of trace as greatly curtailing their receipts
and compelling the cutting down expenses
by large per centage. The financial revul-
sion, which began three years ago, is thus
sweeping around the world. There is not Il
merchant receiving Chinese and Australian
correspondence who does not hear the same
gloomy announcement as are current at
home. The curtailment of expendtdre is
so general: that it affects all branches OF
trade; whilst one kind of business is so in
timateIy interlooked with another that de-
preston diffuses through all, reaching to
most distant portions Of the globe.

An Outraged Uncle.


The name of the outraged uncle was John
Thompson, and he sued his nephed Thomas
at tsn fugby county court last week for n
damage done to his hat and value of goods
destroyed. 1t appeared by the evidence
that the plaintiff had been in the habit of
regaling his nephew with tales of the larks
he indulged in when boy with his youth
full companions. The defendant, who eagerly
drank in the narrative of these feats, deter
mined on the Saturday before castor to
amuse himself in like manner. Seeing
the plaintiff on the day in question carrying
bag which contained groceries, two bot
ties of wine, bottle Of whiskey, and
plum pudding, sent as an Easter offering
by his daughter from Birmingham, the de-
fendant stealthily crept behind him, knock
ed off chimney pot hat he was wearing,
and decamped with the velocity of a flash
of lightning. In the shock and confusion
the bottles were broken, the liquor lost, and
the plum pudding irreyocably destroyed.
Judgement for the full amount claimed and
costs was given in favor of the plaintig, and
this retaliation by Uncle John on his
nephew. Thomas will, it is to be hoped,
have a wholesome effect far beyond the
neighborhoOd where the incident occurred.

WILL OF A. T. STEWART.
Mercenary Relatives i'm Court.
By Associated Press.

MOECCm@Ey nOA0SAvOe 1n VOUrCs
By Associated Press,
New YORK, June 16.-An application to
yacate the probate Of the will of the late
A. T. Stewart, came up for argument to-
day, In the Surrogate Court. Council for
Mrs. Stewart stated that as far as the per.
sonal estate left by the late Mr.. Stewart
was concerned, that revocation of the pro-
bate, he denied. The probate of the will
was regularly done. and the papers were
filed in the Surrgates Office.
The petition Of James Bailey and others,
did not show that the probate was illegal.
Counsel contended that the petition, as far
personal property was concerned, had no
standing in court, asked the Surrogate to
issue an order dismissing the revocation
of the will.
As far as the personal estate is concerned
the Surrogate said he would enter 1t in his
minutes but would not sign it until the
other part of The application relative to the
will had been heard. Mrs. Stewart answer to
the petition of Bailey's was read in which
she averred that she never heard of them
during Mr.. Stewards life and that the
codicals to the will were not Influenced by
any one. Case not yet decided.
