Vanderbilt and His Riches.

One-more illustration, and n very
notable one ofthe scandalous contentious
which so often arise over the property
left by deceased millionaires, is furn-
ished in the ~disgraceful scenes now
t~ranspiring in the contest of the will of
Commodore Vanderbilt. In this case
one son and daughter of the departed
railroad king are fighting the will and
the son to whom the will left the bulk
Of the vast property. William H., the
son who succeeds the "Commodore'' in
the management of the New York
Central, has about ninety-ive
per cent. of the property-and the estate
is said to amount to about one hun
dred millions. The contestants-who
under New York law can make their
fight in the surrogate's court at any
time within one year after the death of
the party making the will-are Mrs. lie
Bau and Gnfact il not in name) her
unfortunate brother, SO well known in
his former place of residence, Cornelius
j. Vanderbilt. The latter having once
agreed not to continue his recent con-
test of the will, on a promise of the
payment of 81, ZOO, 900 from his brother
: wflliam-a promise which William is
said to have broken-now renews the
attack through his sister. Theaccusa-
tons against the deceased Commodore
and William, as made openly by coun-
sci, are scandalous and shocking. The
Commodore is accused of having been a
~broken-down man, and incompetent to
make a will, from his vicious courses;
he is said TO have been under Williams
influence, who never resented any per-
sonal abuse, or indeed anything the old
man did, but pandered to his vices, ar
ranging to have n loose woman kept in
the house after his own mother had
been wrongfully sent to M insane asy-
lum by his father, to get rid of her.
William is also accused of a conspiracy,
to deceive his father about Cornelius
j., and even of employing a dissolute
man to represent the latter, and then
hiring a detective to follow him through
vicious haunts, and report his bad
courses 20 his father-the object being
to exclude his unfortunate brother from
the will. This wretched stuff and muclr
more, is published in ertenso in some of
the New York papers. On the other
hand Cornelius ]. is said to be put up
.toSthe contest by gamblers, who expect
to get the money if he gets it; and DIR.
Linsley. the Commodore's physician,
depiessome parts of the testimony that
were designed to prove the conspiracy.

the institution of marriage to be the

Yet it took thousands of years to

a beggar. She says, ~ want n dollar"
and asks for it us if she were standing
on a bombshell, and he replies, What
did you do with the last 80 cents gave
you?" How many ome are obliged
to be continual bcggars? How Il
you raise children in such an atmos-
phere? It's n terrible thing; it's
wretclied and infamous. | believe in
the democracy of the family. Every
home should be n little republic in it,
self. Love is the only thing where the
last possible extravaganza is the height
of economy. What right has a man to
be the head of the. family? a man
should he cheerful and pleasant on COM
ing into n house. When you enslave
anybody you make him dishonest. You
cannot put Il fetter on the limb of any
man, without putting Il corresponding
fetter on your brain. Some people ask
me if | am in favor of women voting.
| say let them settle that themselves.
But it has seemed to me that on some
questions, that of war, for instance, u
woman who has children to be offered
on the altar has as good right to de-
eide MS some wretched nobody who reels
and staggers to the ballot-box. I some
times think there is more genuine kind
ness among the poor than among the
rich. There is 10 need to he stingy.
If you have but n dollar, spend it like
n man. / would rather he beggar and
spend my money like n King, than be Il
King and spend il like a beggar. Among
the poor there are more opportunities
for kindness and selG-denial than
among the rich. y hut with love in it
is n palace fit for n King. A little
while ago l stood mt the tomb of the
dead Napoleon, and when | thought Of
his past life, / thought / would rather
have been n French peasant and worn
wooden shoes, living in n hut with the
little wife / loved, with children upon
my knee and their arms about my neck,
and died unnoticed and unknown, loved
by those who knew me, than to have
been that King. 1t is not necessary to
be great or rich or powerful to be happy.
A false doctrine has been taught in the
community. 1t is that only IL man who
works his whole life away is successful.
A man whose days have been days of
enjoyment, whose life is happy, who is
the Emperor rs well Is the subject of
one heart-his life has been the only
true success.

RURNING PRAIRIE.

it should be done just before the new
grass starts SO as to give the latter Il
chance to grow. This will then make

burned too late it SO Injuries it that feed
is short and the hay crop also badly
damaged.
lie further says. g. The 'hoppers, when
a fire is started seem to get down into
the cracks of the ground and it passes
over them. We tried burning last
spring, but through some accident the
grass took fire in April and one-half
the township was burned over. We
thought all WAS lost, but it finally PROV
ed a blessing, for we h:d plenty OF grass
and hay for our stock and some grain
beside. The prairie that was burned
tie WAS injured so that many had no
grass for their cattle, and while we had
plenty they Lad noEe. See that the
stock has enough, for they will make

gone. Ii you can raise amy grain, do
so, but let your main reliance be on

The Sioux City Journal takes the fol-
lowing hopeful view Of the grasshoppel
question:
This season, as we are reminded by
J.. Wootlford, Esq, OF Sergeant Bluffs,
an old and experienced agriculturist,
is almost u parallel for one we had eight
or nine years ago, both as regards the
open weather about this time of year,
and the plentiful supply Of grasshopper
eggs in the ground. That season he
commenced blowing March |, and as
the burrows were turned oyer the SUI,
soon covered them with young 'hoppers
about the size of gliats. lie i'll most
despaired of gathering any harvest in
; the face OF such prospects but conclud-
ed to put in his seed as usual. Never
theless, III Il short time a pretty severe
frost came and scarcely Il hopper was
left to tell the doleful tale. That this
fate awaits the pests this year there
can lie little doubt, for the early de-
vr]ornent of the eg IS, which has all
ready commenced with IL large share of
them, will make them a prey to
the first frost that pulls the therlnome-
ter to the vicinity Of zero, and this pro-
cess will he repeated 10y the successive
thaWs and fretz IS which will occur be-
tween HOW and steady warm weather,
until the supply will lie exhausted.

MANNERS IN CHURCH.

The New York Observer devotes
column and half to the ill-manners of
people who attend church. The occa-
sion of the article was the arrest of
thirty four lnen and women, in Long
Island village, for misbehavior in
church. The Observer says:
IT they had all been fined, or even i'm
prisoned for Il while, that they might
give themselves to reflection and peni-
tence, it would have served them right,
and perhaps would have been a whole
some discipline.
They had been laughing, talking, and
disporting themselves in MOST I'M
seemly manner, and it was well to bring
such base fellows, of both sexes, to the
only bar of which they are afraid In
deed, it is strange that, in a civilized
and Christian country, there can be, in
any community, a set Of youth 50 desti-
tute OF decency as to go into a place Of
prayer to make fun!
Yet if DR.. Prime lived in almost any
village of the country, he would find
this ill-behavlor common, and the min
lister, the deacons, and the Christian
people submitting to it. 1t might gen.
orally he suppressed 10y vigorous pro-
tests from the ministers, but they are
afraid Of offending, and where it could
not be thus suppressed the prompt ar
rest of the parties would break it up.
There is nothing which these foolish
young people dread more than to be ar
rested and brought before magistrate.
Worthington has not been an excep-
ton to the rule a"d here they frequent
ly add the writing Of obscene sentences
on the fly leaves Of hymn books.
DR. Prime concludes his article with
the following paragraphs:
It was never right to make preaching
! the primary business Of church service.
Prayer and praise are the more import
ant parts. And the feeling of every
nearer should he that OF reverence, as
in the presence of the Infinite and the
Holy One. If a sense of the divine eX.
cellency fall upon us in Gods house,
it will make us suitably afraid. The
place will be sacred. And it will be
good for us to be there.
We are glad to see this sentiment ex.
pressed by a Presbyterian. People who
go to church to hear sermon, as they
would 80 to Il lecture or to hear an in.
tellectual effort merely, have Il very
poor notion of what the church was in.
stituted for. We love those branches
of the Christian church w.lic! believe
in dedicating the house to God, and
then maintaining a proper respect fol-
it. Yet there are many otherwise good
Christians who believe that the church
building may be thrown open to any
entertainment that is not in itself sin
full. The result is almost sure to be-
as it has been in Worthington, the dies,
ecration Of the house by rude stamping
and coarse behavior.
