New York, Nov. Proceedings
in the Vanderbilt will case opened this
morning with the examination, by
prominent council, of Mrs. Augusta
Evans Wilson, whose evidence was
taken out of due course to enable her
to return to her home in Mobile. Mrs
Wilson said she knew Mrs. Commo-
dore Vanderbilt in the South; visited
her and the Commodore in 1875 had
a lengthy conversation at that time
with the Commodore during a drive
to Central Park after driving through
the park he took witness to show her
his villa, which, he said, he gave to
Miss Hawley on account of her en-
gagement to his son George; he said
his son William was the only one who
had given him any comfort his son
Cornelius had been a great deal Of
trouble, and when Cornelius had made
matrimonial engagement he went to
the young lady and told her that he
did not intend to leave him fortune,
as he thought she probably expected
it; he said he expected his son Will
liam and Williams son would be the
perpetual honor of the family; he told
witness that the greatest peace of his
life had been derived from his second
marriage; that Mrs. Vanderbilt had
always been mediator between him
and Cornelius, and that the beautiful
consistency of her Christian character
had done more to bring him to religion
than all the sermons he had ever heard
The next witness called by counsel
was Samuel Tenyicke, who first met
the commodore in 1850 always Wis
tied him when witness came to the
city; had business relations with him

you had more brains than to believ,
any such damned nonsense severa
weeks after, in company with friends
witness again visited Slade; witnes
inadvertently alluded to it in the pres
ence of the commodore, who told wit
ness if he (witness) couldn't find any
thing better to talk of with him h
should forbid witness coming to sc
him; witness once spoke of Corneliu
TO him; he told witness not to talk O
him, that he didn' t amount to anything
in 1874 witness asked him what he in
tended to do with his enormous wealth
he said he didn't know, ,that'ifhe left
to his relations it would be scattered
and that he thought William was tn
only one who could keep it together

Eat Apples.

Apples, in addition to being deli
cious fruit, make pleasant medicine.
A raw, mellow apple is digested in an
hour and half, while boiled cabbage
requires five hours. The most healthy
dessert that can be placed on a table
is baked apple, If eaten frequently
at breakfact, with coarse bread and
butter, without meat or flesh of any
kind it has an admirable effect on the
general system, after removing consti-
patton, correcting acidities, and cool
ing off febrile conditions more effuct-
Tally than the most approved medi-
cines. If families could be induced
to substitute apples, ripe and sound,
for pies, cakes and sweetmeats; with
which their children are frequently
stuffed, there would be diminution

The election OF Tuesdaywas a quiet, /
decent and respectable affair, quite /
devoid of excitement. the efforts Of
partisans and the pulling and hauling
of ordinary elections. The result is
perhaps as satisfactory as usual, and
we may learn something from the un-
usual experience, which will be of use
in future. There was hardly doubt
as to the reelection Of Casey Young
a member Of congress, who has served
his constituents and his country so
wellfor the last fouryears, thatitwOuld
have been misfortune not to have
returned him. The other candidates
w. NJ. Randolph, Republican, and
Colonel A. j. Kellar, National Green
backer had the semblancc of nomina-
tions, and as it turned out only a
faint support. The August wave,
which swept over Shelby county, did
not reach until November. However,
We are glad that there was no unseem-
ly political strife, for this would have
seemed like family quarreling over a
