One of the will cases which excited
some interest not long ago arose from an
effort to have Mr.. A. T. Stewards will
set aside on the plea of claimants who
said they were distant relatives. 1t ap-
pears that one of them was incited to
contest it by two lawyers, one of them a
member of the New York bar, who Is
likely to be stricken from the roll. The
Court has decided that this lawyer shall
not be allowed hereafter TO act as the at
torney for the contestiDg relative. The
LAWYERS themselves Were, as matter OF
fact, the real claimants. They Instituted
the proceedings, "bought over" or tried
to buy over private detective, and at
tempted to force the heirs of Mr.. Stewart
| TO a "settlement" by working upon their
fears. The Court has now interferred In
the case very effectually, and the contest

America Nearly everything in the toy
line is imported Every year some old
principle gets presented in new form,
and fire quently something entirely new
under the sun is offered to the toy-buying
public but as the year go by and new
children are to be amused, the old toys,
the dolls of all kinds and the hoah's
arks hold their own among the new con-
trivanccs, with which IL takes time to
make the little ones acquainted. Dolls,
from the rag waif to the waxen belle, CON

PARIS, Dec. 15.-A great piece of news

champs de Mars a permanent Exbibi-
tiun of Industrial and Decorative Art. a
universal lottery will be created, of
winch the crown jewels will be the
The scheme has been seriously discuss
ed at the sittiDgs of the Budget Commit
tee. When 1t was first brought forward
u was proposed to issue tickets at five
francs apiece. Should the project be
carried out, and l do not Sc. why it
should not, after the precedent of the
great National Exhibition Lottery, the
price of tickets will be fixed at a high
ngure'-perhaps at ten, fifteen, or twenty
francs. 1t Is impossible 70 forecast all
the millions wbich may thus be brought
into the French Treasury. "Hundreds
or millions" are spoken of. When l
heard the words just quoied proceed from
the mouth of the news-bearing deputy, 1
thought he was ludicrously sanguine; but
aIter ne had explained to me on what his
hopes were based / admitted their ac-
ccmplishment was within reach of pos
sibility. 1t Is a very short time since
tickets we're issued for the National Lot
terry. Nearly 14,0O0, 900 of them are al
ready sold, and $500, 900 by anticipation,
for the issue could not keep peace with
the demand. What was not suspected
before the middle of month, foreign
countries have got bitten with the mania.
The applications from abroad for tickets
are far too numerous to be anything like
satisfied. A speculator in New York
wants a million of them. In London
they are sold at a premium of % per
| cent, and in Vienna of 40 per cent. De-
pressed as are the finances of the Rus
sian Empire there seems to be plenty of
money In st. Petersburg and Odessa TO
risk in tickets for the Great Exhibitor
Lottery. If the crown jewels are dis

HOW THE ASSETS OF THE CONCERN ARE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.--Is is about
time Congress should take hold of the
Freedmen's Bank Swindle and wind the

of these commissioners sur D S39, ,553 80;
those of attorneys, S31 1881, and those
of agents, $64 ,289.57 These, with the
other expenses, aggregate $310, 1853 "a
since the bank was turned over to the
custody of commission. A sum nearly
equal to one-half of the dividends paid
out was thus consumed ia expenses alone
that is to say, it cost over $4,000 a
year TO run this broken bank, or to eat
up the little that was left by the. thieves
after the burglars alarm mad been sound

graceful of all stealing belongs primarily
to Congress, which deliberately took
away the safeguards of the charter.
