An Invasion of Bears.

More wild bears than have ever been
known since the swamps have been set
tied by white men are reported to in
habit the Mississippi valley this year.
These carnivorous plantigrades are par
ticularly fond Of succulent food, and
the juicy corn as it ripens in the field is
an especial object of affection. So
strong is Bruins appetite for it that
the planters of Coahoma and Tunica
counties, Miss, have recently been com
PEELED to place guards around their
cornfelds to protect them from destruc-
ton. A medium sized bear, with an or
binary appetite, has been known to cut
down and destroy two acres Of growing
corn in single night They go on
their foraging expeditions in the night
time, and entering a cornfeld they
squat on their launches, shuck an ear
OF corn, and proceed to masticate it with
an apparent relish equal to their bipedal
enemies. When their appetite is salts
fed they cut off cornstalks below the
ear by the armful, and, walking erect,
carry their booty through fields, over
fences, and into dark recesses of the
swamps and canebrakes, to their hid
lng-places. -Mem1phjs AU0ldnche.

A Dangerous Wife to Joke With.

The Fort Worth (Tex.) Democrat
says: Marshal Courtright of this
town, thought of joking his wife. Ar
irving at home at a late hour he entered
the front gate, carefully closing it. eau
tiously cropping his way thither, what
was his surprise to see the right hand
Of his wife lying on the sill of the win
dow. On her fingers she had two gold
rings, one of which he proceeded to
take off. It being rather loose, he ex-
perienced but little trouble. and sue
ceeded in the operation without waking
her up. The remaining ring was a
much tighter fit, and, in his effort to ex-
tricate it, his wife awoke. finding her
hand grasped from without by some one
whom she at once concluded was a rob-
Der. Quickly pulling her hand away,
she was about to scream, but. thinking
of convenient six-shooter under her
pillow, she again placed her 'ieweled
hand on the sill, which was grasped by
the supposed burglar, and with the other
she quietly reached for the pistol, and,
rising suddenly, brought it to bear on
her husband; but for his presence of
mind in quickly calling her she would
have shot him dead. Mrs. COPYRIGHT
displayed great presence of mind, forti-
tude and courage, and the Marshal
should be proud of possessing wife so
fearless and brave. His narrow escape
has completely cured him of any further
desire to play the role of midnight rob-

The Flag of the PrOnhet.

Many times since the Gar declared
war at Kischeneff the cable has unfurled
the Sanjak-i-Sherif, the flag of the
Prophet. But the cable acted without
authority, and the holy standard, whose
presence on the battlefield is summons
to all Mussulmans in the world to come
forward for the faith and fight to the
death, has been lying idle awaiting word
from the Sultan, who is bigger mar in
Turkey than even a special correspond
ent. When that old rag kisses the breeze
the Russians may as well retire beyond
the Pruth. It means that the Turk will
neither give nor take quarter. The war
will be to the knife, the knife to the hilt.
The symbol itself is nothing much. A
correspondent describes it as an limo
cent piece of rotten and faded silk, which
used to be covered with sacred writings,
and once was green in color. The only
legible word remaining upon it is
Aleni (world), which appears in a
secluded fold near the staff. This flag
is never unfurled-nor, indeed, can it
be, from rottenness-a characteristic
which mvralists may use for the basis of
a smile connected with the nation to
whom the flag belongs. The flag is kept
rolled on its staff and covered with a
green satin cover, the whole packed
away in gold or gilded box. When
the holy standard is to be brought out,
it is carried in it's green cover through
the streets of Constantinople, and, after
the city walls are passed, it is Gin the
field" It is then slowed away in the
gilded box once more, and CHS is carried
with the army, much as the Jews used
to take the ark of the covenant to the
wars. When the Gar sees that ancient
bit of bunting going about the camp of
the enemy it will be sort of American

BRIGHAM YOUNG'S WILL.
How the Prophet Divided His Wealth


[Salt Lake Cor. New York Tribune.l
Brigham Young's will was read to-day
in the presence of all his wives ana chill
dren and few friends. Brigham Young,
Jr., George Q. Cannon and Albert Car
rington are named as his executors. The
estate is largely real estate, and is prob
ably worth 100000. The will was
made four years ago, and his youngest
child, born of Mary Van Colt, was then
B years old. Young was the father of
tifty-six children, and left seventeen
wives, sixteen sons and twenty eight
daughters. The will aims to make an
equitable division of the property be-
tween all the wives and children, with
no preference to any. Most all Of them
already had something decided to them.
On this a valuation was set, ana it is to
be charged to the recipients as part of
their share, though not necessarily at
the valuation he put on it. That is to
be equitably adjusted when the estate is
divided, upon the youngest child coming
Of age. Meanwhile the income is to go
to the vqrious mothers, according to the
number of their children, and they can
withhold the shares if the children be-
have badly. All are provided for as far
as their present needs are concerned.
His first wife and Amelia are given life
interest in Amelia Palace-a large, mod
ern new fine house; but he is known to
have changed his mind about that,
chiefly because they declined it, for rea-
sons best known to themselves, although
nothing in or out of the will has yet
come to light showing it, and they are
not otherwise provided for, except by
their share of income. Deceased held
many interests in trust for the church
and for individuals.
His executors are directed to turn them
over The church is forbidden by law
to hold more than 100000 worth of
property, and so it was largely held by
Young in trust. His friends will not en-
terrain the notion that he ever abused
| that trust
There is no inventory of property on
the estate, and it is widely scattered.
With the country prosperous and full of
money, it would be worth twice the
above valuation. Recently Brigham
Young endowed an academy with lands
at Provo, and another at Logan, the lat
ter with $4,000 acres. He had deter
mined to endow one at Salt Lake, but
did not live long enough to do so.
A person present at the reading of the
will says it seemed to be very satisfac-
tory to all concerned. It will be pro-
bated as soon as possible. It will be
wonderful if some dissa tisfaction does
not creep in within the next fourteen
Years

CatastrOphism in Geology.

Mr.. Clarence King recently delivered
an interesting address before the Shelf
field Scientific School of Yale College,
under the title of Catastrophism, or the
Evolution of Environment, in which he
sought to bring into greater prominence
the important geological catastrophes
which have taken place at different peri
DDS in their relation to the question Of
evolution. He called attention to the
fact that marine fossils are found imbed-
ded in rocks far remote from present
seas, and that these beds were once sea-
bottoms that have been upheaved by
commissions of nature. The very sum-
NIT of Catskill was at one time the bed
of a sea-probably raised to its present
enlinence at the time of the massive
eruptions of basalt, which can be traced
for long distances on our continent.
Such catastrophes must have played a
conspicuous part in determining the sue
cession of life and the progress of evolu-
ton. The question of the survival of
the fittest can have little weight at
epochs when whole races of plants and
animals become extinct by extraordinary
commissions of nature. Mr.. Kings full
men is likely to occasion lively discus
sion in the ranks of biologists and biol
ogists, while the opponents of Huxley
and Darwin will grid up their loins for
another fight. AS soon as the smoke of
the battle blows over, it will probably be
found that both Huxley and Darwin
have already made due allowances for
the catastrophism, and that they have
used this element or factor when trying
to account fer lost links in the regular
order Of life. If there had been no cat
astrophes there would have been no diff
fculty in tracing the descent of animals
from the lowest to the highest species,
but the frequent breaks in the chain by
wholesale sacrifice of races have occa-
stoned much trouble to biologists, and
have made it more difficult for them to
convince the skeptical of the accuracy 70
their reasoning.

OSMAN PASHA.
The Hero of the Plevna victory Claimed
as an Am erican.

The Hero of the Pievna victory Claimed
as an American.
from the Louisville Courier Journall
We have received the following brief
but exceedingly explicit and pointed
communication from source which we
have every reason to credit:
Mt. WASHINGTON. KY, Sept. g. 1877.
To the Editor of the Courier-Journal
| see by cable telegram in the Co1n'ieY-JOetr-
nal that Osman Pasha, of the Turkish army, is
believed to be Gen. Bazaine, late Marshal
of the French army. This is mistake.
as [ have corresponded with him for several
years, and have received letters from him since
he has been given command of division of
the Turkish army. Osman Pasha is an Ameri-
can, a native of Hawkins county, Tenn. His
name is R. Clay Crawford He was Colonel Of
q regiment of artillery during the late war be-
tween the States. He afterwards entered the
service of the Liberal Government Of Mexico,
and was made General of Division. He
created considerable stir by the capture of
Bagdad, Mexico, passing his forces over the
Rio Grande from the Texas shore. He finally
quarreled with JuareZ, the Mexican President,
and returned to the United States with large
fortune. He resided for several years at a
beautiful country seat on the Delaware, near
Philadelphia. His restless disposition caused
him to seek excitement, and he entered the
service of the Khedive of Egypt; was soon af-
ter transferred to the service of the Sultan, and
commanded the Turkish army at Plevna.
l.. B. WICKLIFFE.
Our correspondent writes with the
directness and relevancy of personal
knowledge, and yet he seems ignorant of
some of the antecedents of the hero of
his sketch. Crawford is, or was, real
~ extraordinary person. All that his
brief biographer says in the above COM
munication is true. Crawford was a
Colonel Of artillery in the war he did go
to Mexico, where he rose quickly to the
rank of General of Division he quar-
relied with Juarez on account of the
Bagdad affair, which was really nothing
more nor less than a freebooting expedi-
ton on the proceeds of this and other
plundering operations he appeared in
Wall street, where he struck a streak of
luck, making 81, 100000 in six or eight
months; he bought the magnificent
Biddle estate just out Of Philadelphia,
lived in great splendor and ostentation a
few years, having married New York
lady, and, about 1870, disappeared. He
has not been heard Of since. He de-
serted his wife, to whom the letter of our
correspondent will come as the first
news Of long-lost husband in seven
years. All this is corroborative testi-
mony as to the truth of the statement
that Osman Pasha and Clay Crawford
are one and the same person.

Preliminary Signs of Revolution in
France.

The French people are growing more
and more FESTIVE under the government
of the Marshal President MacMahon.
He entered upon power with the pres
tige Of great soldier and patriot, whose
only desire was to see his country again
restored to the proud position which she
occupied as one of the five great powers
of Europe. Beginning we'll, he has since
largely forfeited the public confidence by
arbitrary measures, which, if continued,
always lead to revolution among the
most mercurial population in Christen-
dom. Everybody knew his royalistic
sentiments, but, nevertheless, it was
hoped that he could be safely trusted
with the affairs of republic. Napoleon
the First once said that if he lifted his
hand from the press his power would
soon vanish. MacMahon has followed
