Isaac Foster died at Honesdale Pa, in De-
cember, leaving an estate of 500, 900, but no
will. Charles Miner, leading lawyer, de-
clared he had drawn will not long since

principally to his son. Miner reproduced
the will from memory and 1t was probated.
The other heirs now contest ii, holding that
no will exists.
Drs Long Wells Morton and Jackson
were the first physicians to introduce and
successfully use anesthesia in their practice
in this country, and DR.. J. Marion Sims
wants congress to appropriate and divide
equally among their families 100000. As
all these eminent physicians have been un-
fortunate financially, aid of this kind would
not come amiss.
London butcher: you've not been 'avin'
so many jirts this week or two, ma'am."

The gentleman who wrote the verses called
"Betsey and l are OUT reverses the usual
fate of "the literary man." He has made so
much money from the sale of his poems that
it is gravely stated, "He is now recognized
as one of the leading capitalists in his sec
ton of the country" This region is Hills
dale, Michigan, where Mr.. Carleton. who is
bachelor, lives in beautiful little cot
tage.
'Hit it," didn't" 'Did too" didn't,

play any more" Don't want you to-"
Hateful thing" Don't you want to bor-
row our morning paper2 Mother says you
don't come and get it but six days in week
before we've seen it," Thus the familiar
trihes of the croquet ground begin to be
heard again as they float along the street.
There were three deaths under one UNI
rella at Newbern, North Carolina, on the
last Sunday evening in April. At the close
of the service at the colored Bethel church |
thunderstorm passed over the town, and two |
young girls took refuge under a colored |
brothers umbrella, which had a steel ham |
die. There was vivid flash, and in an In |
slant there were three lifeless bodies pros
trate on the sidewalk. The cover of the UNI
breua was partly burned.
Sunday evening Mr.. Beecher said: 'sTbe |
newspaper jeers and gibes have panied me |
lately. A man high in Office and in trust in |
Brooklyn fell a few weeks ago, and his |
church have put him on the dIssecting table |
and are cutting him up. Oh the cannibal |
churchesl they are trying to show how good |
they are, to prove how god-like they are, |
when they are not like God bit, and are |
only elder brothers, self-righteous and self |
sh. The brother fallen ought to be helped |
back The fact is the true church is not or !
ganized, but spiritual, and free as air.
One word as to the simplicity of the dress
of the presidents wife. There has been I'M
questiOnably much extravaganza and vulgar
ostentation in Washington in the matter of
dress for few years past, leading to very sad
results; but it is also possible to err in the
ION. h. 20 hat oxra
reached us from different quarters are not
exaggerated there is danger just now that
simplicity may be carried to an extreme not
desirable and not admirable in the first lady
of the nation. A lady ought to dress accord
ing to her station, especially on state occa-
sions.-Christian Intelligencer.
Halleck, writes one who apparently knew
him we'll, was poet to whom poetry was its
own incentive and its own reward. He lived
before the day in which literature could be
made profitable pursuit in this country,
and he wrought in verse for the love of the
work-not as men work for hire, nor yet as
men work for mere amusement, but in an
swer to the call of an inspiration which was
too distinct to be UNDECIDED and too pure to
be trifed with. Even in his lighter poems,
humorous, fanciful satirical as they are,
there are hints of the deep, underlying earn.
estness of the soul of whose travail they were
born.
Dores picture in the Paris Saloon this year
is called Jesus Condemned and is smaller
than he usually paints. Christ bearing his
cross, has just issued from the Judgment
hall into the street, and the Roman soldiers
are making way for him through an inn
mense crowd. whose faces exhibit every
variety of feeling and passion, from despair
to the most diabolical citation. The compo-
sition is wonderful. Although there are
hundreds OF figures, the central one stands

shrouded in gloom, save where ray of light
of supernatural brightness falls on the head
of Christ The coloring is rather heavy;
there are faults to be found here and there
