A Real Romance.

A romantic case is subject of inquiry
before commission held at the SUIT of
the attorney general of Victoria and nine
claimants, one resident in this country
and the rest in America. The case Is
one of intestacy, and the question sub
stantially raised is the Legitimacy of the
claimants. The amount of property in
v0lved is estimated at between 100000
and 100000. 1t was realized 10y ole
Patrick Cody, who, it is stated, was
born in the old Jail of Newgate in this
city on st. Patrick's Day, 1916, and died
in Australia on June 16, 1872. The
mother of the deceased was II servant,
who was convicted of stealing plate
which belonged to her master. She was
sentenced by the then recorder of he
city to seven years transportation, and
while awaiting the arrival of a convict
ship at Cork to take her to New South
Wales she gave birth to the deceased,
who was baptized Patrick in the Roman
Catholic Chapel of ST.. Michan, which
has an entrance directly opposite that
leading to old Newgate in Halston street.
at the termination of her sentence his
mother got "the run" of the country and
married a freed convict named Buckley
Whether this second marriage was big
amous or not does not appear, but the
Buckleys prospered. The woman died
at an advanced age, and her memory is
honored in poetry and prose in monu-
mental marble in the Roman Catholic
Cathedral of Sydney. Her son, having
been one of the earliest settlers in Gipps
Land, amassed very large fortune and
bore a high character for benevOlence
and rectitude. After her death search
was made Tor will, but none could be
found. Whether any existed or not there
are no means of ascertaining, as the
authorities had all the records relating
to the arrival of convicts and other cir
cumstances in their penal life destroyed,
lest they should bring disgrace on fam
lilies which had grown rich and respect
able. Two suits were instituted in Aus
tralia, one in Chancery and the other in
Probate. In the latter a forged will was
set up by man named Maher, but the
fraud was detected and Maher sent to
Jail to await his trial for the offense. In
quiries were instituted by Mr.. Octavius
O'Brien, and the result is that the pres
ent set of claimants have come forward.
In order to establish these rights, evil
dence has been taken by commission in
the United States, Canada, Newfound-
land, Kilkenny, and now finally in Dub
lin, before the trial, which is to determine
the question at issue, is held in Australia.
A number of old records relating to
Newgate, also to registrations of marriage
and baptism, and of the sailing of the
convict ship, were given in evidence, and
the examination OF witnesses was closed
yesterday london Times.

Webster's Personal Appearance.

Mr.. Webster was a model of manly
excellence, of the highly civilized type;
he looked the gentleman perfectly. His
person represented the highest style of
artificial breeding. Though the son of a
plain farmer, he was, physically, the i'm
personation of the form produced by a
descent from long line of conquering,
intellectual, Out-of-door exercising race.
His body was strong and muscular, his
chest full, his head large and firmly set
upon his shoulders. His back was deeply
indented, and his most careless pose sug-
gested pride of carriage, which idea was
confirmed 10y the natural elevation of his
face. His manners, nevertheless, were
singularly unpretentious, almost child
like. He never strobe into the Senate,
but sauntered in, as if personally unno-
ticed, and himself without care or pur-
pose. This manner, really so fascinating,
concealed all ward show of his passing
thoughts, or immediate intentions. He
was SO conscious of his power, and had
all of his mental resources so well in hand,
that he never was agitated or embarrassed
His repartee in the private parlor, or fes-
tive board, was as quick and bright as
were his legal arguments in the Supreme
Court unanswerable, or his elegance in
the Senate unsurpassed. Before deliver
ing speech he often appeared absent
minded, and acted as if unconscious of
being surrounded by an audience. Rising
to his feet, he seemed to gradually recov-
er perfect self-possession, by assuming a
quiet manner, which was aided by thrust
ing his right hand within the folds Of his
vest, while his left hung gracefully by
his side. A few sentences uttered, and
the clear tones of his voice reaching his
own ear, they seemed to inspire him by
their musical sound. A moment more
and the man was changed. His dark
complexion grew warm with inward fire !;
his eyes would start from their cavernous
depths and flash with inspiration; the
huge brain, in its mighty work, forcing
perspiration in rivulets down the palpi-
tating temples. There never was a more
impressive personal appearance in the
forum, or a more magnificent form of
human effort, engaged in giving utter
ance to the workings of the mind. Yet,
in these tremendous demonstrations Of
intellect, Mr.. Webster was never dra-
matte in action. Even in the utterance
of his most eloquent sentences, his body
was in comparative quietude-his won
derful eyes alone burned and coruscated;
in all other respects repose seemed the
normal condition Of his magnetic frame.

More About the New Piano.

We have explained the principles of con-
struction which make the durability OF the
Patent "Rogers Pianos" certainty, and
which ensure, for the future, instruments
which are free from that most serious objec-
tion-the inability to remain in tune. To
secure these great advantages, most persons
would be content to sacrifice something in
the appearance or even in the tone of their
Pianos. But, fortunately, it happens that the
new improvement not only does not lessen
the power or sweetness of the tone, but gives
us a far superior quality to any heretofore
produced, and quality that can not desen-
crate in a few years into the well-known
"tin-pan" sound. The Rogers Upright is
simply harp standing in Piano case, but
independent of 1t, and cannot lose its tone
with age, any more than harp does. The
whole instrument is completed and tuned
before 1t is fastened into the case; thus re-
versing the usual order Of procedure, since,
in all other Pianos, after several years sea-
soning of the wood, the case Tor outside cab
met work. is built, and then the action" the
tuning-pins and pin-block are fastened into
this case, depending upon its strength FOR
their reliability and durability. Again, all
the woodwork surrounding the harp in
creases its sorority, and, AS Is the fact with
the violin, the vibrations become freer the
more the instrument is played upon. In
other Pianos, on the contrary, the freedom
Of vibration Of the wood is checked by the
iron tuning pins holding the strings, which
strain upon the fibre with pressure of several
tons, by the numerous iron bolts and screws
which are required to keep the wood fro m
being torn asunder, and by the iron frame
acting as clamp upon it. We suppose it is
from the freedom Of vibration that the won
dcrful singing" quality OF tone is produced
in the Rogers Piano. 1t will produce tone
resembling that Of an organ, or the shortest
staccato, at the will Of the performer, and its
volume can be increased from the softest
pianissi,no to the grandest and fullest forts
simo, without any help from pedals. If you
wish u more explicit understanding of the
peculiarities OF the new invention, you have
but to drop postal card to Messrs. Black
mar Il Davis, al San Francisco, who are the
agents for the Rogers Piano for the Pacific
Slope.

Wild Fruits of DeadwOOd City.

DR.. r. D. Porter writes from Dead
wood City, Dacotah, to the Louisville
Courier-JOurnal:
Strawberries grow to great profusion
in all the valleys, mountains, and foot
hills in the Black Hills. Thousands of
acres ofground are covered with the vines.
l have seen as large stools Of the wild
strawberry plant in the Hills as | ever
saw that was cultivated on the hill sys-
TEN in the States. The berries ripen in
July. l have seen some very fine speci-
mems growing wild on the mountain side.
| have no doubt that as fine strawberries
the world, if the improved varieties were
brought here and properly cultivated. l
have in the last few days seen whole
acres of vines looking as fresh and green
as any Fawcett, bravo, or Decker can
show at this season of the year.
'The Black Hills are the home Of the
red raspberry. Near Garden City, on
False-bottom Creek, there is a raspberry
thicket five miles long and half mile
wide, and the vines stand as thick on the
ground as wheat. The vine resembles
the Clark raspberry. The berries have a
finer size, color, and flavor than the Clark
raspberry, and at the same time are more
prolific than the Philadelphia berries.
Thousands of gallons of these berries
were picked by the miners and carried in
baskets from six to ten miles to Dead
wood, and sold for 81 per gallon. Ihave
never seen black-cap raspberry in the
Hills. Blackberries flourish in great
abundance on the foothills around Cen
tennial and Crook City. have not seen
them in the mountains.
"Wild currants are plentiful along the
gulches-red, white, and black. The fruit
compares favorably with the cultivated
variety in the States.
1.-THE wild gooseberry plant almost
reaches the dignity Of trees. On Sawpit
Gulch have seen the plant growing as
high as my head. The fruit is large in
size and abundant.
"Wild cherries-Or choke cherries, as
they are called-are very abundant. The
bushes are little taller than the goose
berry, and in season are loaded with fruit.
Some persons eat them and seem to like
them very much. l am very fond of
fruit, but l don't take much stock in
choke cherries. But they certainly would
make very pretty ornament to grow In
the yard.
"Wild grapes grow in great abundance
in the valleys along the foothills, al
though l have never seen q grapevine
near the mines. At Crook City and on
the Red Water have seen grapevines six
inches in diameter"

MaximS of ROchefOucauld.

Our passions are the only orators who
are certain to persuade us.
We have all of us sufficient strength of
mind to endure the misfOrtunes of other
people.
Philosophy triumphs easily over past
evils and those to come, but present evils
triumph over philosophy.
It requires greater virtue to sustain
good fortune than bad.
The evil which we do does not draw
upon US so many prosecutions and SO much
hatred as our good qualities.
If we had no faults ourselves, we should
not have SO much pleasure in discovering
the faults Of others.
The love of justice in most men is
nothing but fear of suffering from in
justice.
Many complain of their memory, but
none complain of their judgment.
Old men delight in uttering good pre-
cepts-to console themselves for being no
longer in q condition to set bad examples.
The surest way of being deceived is to
think yourself cleverer and more cunning
than any body else.
People are never made 80 ridiculous
w tuo 4uau'IcS they PoSScSS 40 ~ ehoSc
which they affect to have.
Society could not long subsist if men
we're not the dupes of one another.
Our repentance is not so much re-
greet for the evil we have done as . fear
Of what may be the consequences.
When our vices quit u., We fatter our
selves that W.T. quit our vices.
That which often prevents us from
abandoning ourselves to single vice, is
the fact that we have several.
He who lives without folly is not SO
wise as he thinks.
1t is much easier to limit ones graft
tude than ones hopes and desires.
In the adversely of our best friends we
always find something that does not dis
please US.
1t is not SO dangerous to do evil to
most men as to do them too much good
There is no man clever enough to know
all the evil which he does.
Among the mass Of mankind gratitude
is nothing but strong and secret desire
for still greater benefits.

The LivingstOnia Mission.

Lieutenant Young, II. N, has returned
to England, after having successfully
planted the Livingstonia Expedition, of
which he undertook the leadership, in
Central Africa. He left Lake Nyassa on
the I'd of November. The party arrived
safely at Point Maclear, in Lake Nyassa,
and set to work. In short time the
steamer was put together, which is now
plying on the lakes. Lieutenant Young
circumnavigated Lake Nyassa, and found
that it ran to the north upwards of 100
miles farther than DR.. Livingstone had
thought. The shores of the lake are de-
scribed as the finest he had ever seen.
Magnificent woods abound everywhere.
On the northeastern shores range of very
high mountains runs parallel to the lake
for upwards of 100 miles. The circum
navigation took month, and Lieutenant
Young has prepared careful map Of
Nyassa. Before the arrival of the Sec
ond party, headed by Rev. DR.. Stewart of
Lovedale, himself, the village of Living
stonia had commenced to rise into ex-
istence. Houses, workshops, &C., had
been constructed. Lieutenant Young
has succeeded in making treaty with
two of the most important tribes in the
route via Quillimane, the Cataracts of
the Shira, and Nyassa. These tribes are
the Maviti, near the lake, and the Maka-
lolo, $50 miles off at the Cataracts.
As Lieutenant Young says, now an
Englishman may 60 through the whole
country with a walking stick; but Por-
tuguese requires armed force. The sec
ond party were met by Lieutenant Young
at the Lower Shira. He had brought
with him 1000 natives, to carry the goods
and effects of the party across the Cata-
ract country. He started to the steamer,
which was lying under the Cataract with
500 of these, each loaded with from fifty
to sixty pounds of goods. The journey
to the steamer was seventy-tive miles,
and the work was done for four yards of
calico to each man. He went to Living
stonia with these goods, returned again
to the Cataracts, went back, and re-
turned once more, and had at length the
satisfaction of finding his party safe at
Livingstonia with all their baggage and
material. The natives are all thoroughly
friendly. The slave trade has already
greatly suffered. Formerly not fewer
than 10000 slaves passed the southern
end of the lake per annum; last year
only thirty eight were known to have
succeeded in getting to the coast by that
route.

Men differ on nearly every issue
There have always been opposite parties in
politics and religion, though the measure
fought over one day may be universally

also been subject to revolutionary disturb
