Curious Will.

The will of an Englishman, recently
deceased, contained the following
unique provisos: 81 bequeath to my
monkey, my dear and amusing Jacko,
the sum of 910 sterling per annum, to
be employed for his sole and exclusive
use and benefit; to my faithful dog,
Shock, and my well-beloved cat, lib, a
pension Of e5 sterling; and I desire that,
in case of the death of either of the
three, the lapsed pension shall pass to-
the other two, between whom it is to be
equally divided. On the death Of all
three, the sum appropriated to this pur-
pose shall become the property of my
daughter Gertrude, to whom j give this
preference among my children because
of the large family she has, and the
difficulty she finds in bringing them up"

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The Judiciary Committee of the House has
ing the Bankruptcy law.
Secretary Sherman has given his views at
length before the Senate Finance Committee
regarding the House bill repeating the Re-
sumption act. He said he thought it unwise

but he thought it would be keeping faith with
the creditor and the people abroad if re-
sumo in 1879, as we had promised. Hethought
it was entirely practicable, and that resump-
est injury to our commercial prosperity.
The Secretary gave the amount of gold and
silver now in the treasury vaults, stating the
sErn to be about 10000, 900 or $40, 900. 0OO
outside of all demands. He was questioned in
regard to the effect of the Silver bill on the re-
sumption question, and said that he had to ad.
NIT that the effect Of the bill generally had
been good, and that in connection with re-
sumption it had been decided advantage.
