A>cotNiuCa Case.

Some of the Scotch papers are giving
details of a very extraordinary will case
which will shortly be submitted for
trial. The story is this: The daughter
Of a country practitioner in a little vii
lage in Scotland awOke one morning 10
find herself a great heiress. The ira
ditiOnal uncle. who had come from
India with a fortune. had died. leaving
a beautiful estate and fully *l,5o0,cooi III
money and West Indian property 10 his
niece, Miss Macpherson Grant
At that time she was bright, clever.
handsome. and about 81 years OF age.
She took possession of her property and
lived in great style, keeping a large stud
of horses. and driving tandem herself
all over the country. Her father and
mother she took under her wing, and
was devoted to them 10 the last day OF
their lives. She established them in an
independent and elegant home lea
Ediuburg. but had them a great deal
with herself at A5erlour House on the
Speyslde.
Some fifteen years ago a young lady
came 10 pay her a visit She was a
stranger TO Miss Grant. and was brought
by some friends. 1t ended in this young
lady Miss Temple, leaving father aud
mother, with their entire concurrence,
and living with Miss Grant, for better
or for worse, until death should them
part; in fact they formed such a friend
ship that they agreed and entered into
al engagement that neither should
marry, and that they should pass their
lives together. Miss Grant then and
there refused a very god offer of mar
riage, and rejected all other suitors.
The conditions were that Miss Grant
was TO leave her estates and everything
to Miss Temple if Miss Temple on her
part never left her and never married.
4 will was made by Miss Grant, under
which her property Was to pass TO the
Temples.
Two years ago Miss temple married.
Last Christmas Miss Grant died. The
will was revoked. She never forgave
the detection. she never made another
will. and the estate goes 10 an obscure
country doctor in A~berdeenshire, who
hardly knew he was related 10 Miss
Grant, and never saw her. Other four
relations. poor trades-people in Banff-
shire, come in for a share. Over this
question of succession there will be a
terrible fight in the law courts between
the Temples and the h~eirs-at-law. Miss
Grant was very masculine in appear

Hobbies.

Almost every man has his hobby
his pet taste-which he loves (at what
ever cost of time or money to crafty.
The hobby of one man is shells; another
spends all his spare cash for pictures; a
third dotes on old coins; fourth on
bugs and buttertlys and fifth rides a
music hobby, and goes merrily through
the world to the sound of fiddle, flute,
French horn and double bass.
The hobby of another is bookshelf
and new, in vellum and calf, gilt-edged
and marbled, with head-bands and
without-with which he packs his
cases, loads his whatnots, stuffs and
piles, till his whole house becomes a
library, a wilderness Of books.
He is a black-letter man or tall copy
ist or an uncut man, or rough-edged
man, or an early dramatist, or a histor-
ian, or broad-sider, or pasquinader,
or tawny moroccite, or a gilttopper, or
any other of the innumerable species
which the author of the '"Ihe Book
Hunter" has defined. Who will say
that this is not as innocent hobby as

grew worse every day, and soon | laid
him away in a foreign grave: with his
dying breath he blessed his love, and
bequeathed to me the picture, whose

He paused, and wiped away a tear;

"No; but / am determined to find

the following note:

The Deoline of Parties.

We print the able and suggestive
essay of Prof. Goldwin Smith on "The
Decline of Party Government" He
opens an interesting question, which,
in one shape or another, is bound to
force itself upon thinking people. The
customary short logic of the case is that
we cannot have government without
politics, and we cannot have politics
without partisanship that is, therefore,
necessary thing which must hold the
same ascendency in the future that it
has held in the past, so that all ideas of
doing withoutit are futile, and all in
quiresres pecting 1t decline superiuous.
Wedo notsuppose thatpolitical parties
are to cease, or that partisans have the
slightest occasion for anxiety respecting
their continuance; but we do not be-
lieve that the future is going to repeat
the past In this matter. The progress
and diffusion of science, the formation
of scientific habits of thought, and an
increasing faculty Of observing and
reasoning directly upon the facts of
life, are going to interfere materially
with the ideas and interests of politics.
Thus far politics has been blind and
bungling art, necessary indeed, but so
crude, loose and wasteful in its practice,
and so much a matter of rule-of-thumb,
and transient experience, and the man
ipulation of men, that all idea of far
reaching principles in the political
sphere is currently secuted. Yet this
is not the region ofchaos, and there are
laws In political phenomena, deeper
than the Legislative enactments. These
are to be gradually worked out into
scientific expressions, and in proportion
as this is done political partisanship
must undergo important notification
