The lawyer of Mrs. Dorsey, vino loft her money
10 Mr. Jefferson Davis has published a letter which
ends in the following able manner: "WOuld to God
that her lustTOus eyes could wake from the leth-
argy of the grave and pierce with their scOrnlul
Qlances the foul ghOuis who, under the guse of
relationship seek TO blackcn her noble repul ation
and 20 aim the halo that shines around her name"
This fine outburSt is signed Edward Howard
Farrar" Slr. FIrrar says that, as Mrs. Dorsey's
solicitor, he drew up the will; that she was not
worth more than $4,000; that she had intended
10 endow in some American college a chair OF
Sanscrit Language. literature and religion. her own
profound studies having been turned IN that direc-
zion for many years.; that she changed her mind
and bequeathed her property TO Mr. DAVIS, because
sine wanted him 10 90 on with his History of the
Rebellion unhindered by any want of money; and
that she had done all for her relations which she
felt bound to do. Mr. Farrar is strongly of the
oplnion that the viii Is a sound WILL and says that
according to the code OF Louisiana evidence cannot
be elyen of "tbe disposition having been made
through hatred. anger, suggestion or captation."
He aftrms that the talk about undue influence Is
"senile aud juvenile babbie"; and, altogether, be-
seems ready for the toughest kind Of fight IN de-
fence of Mrs. Dorsey's will and Mr. Dayiss right to
take under it. Fortunately any prolonged contest
will soon use up the estate. 30 that there will be
nothing 10 fight for.

1t is hardly necessary to say that when n gentle
man changes his religion, particularly If he be a
clerical gentleman, the change should be made only
alter due consideration. When a priest goes from
Romanism to Epscopaliausm, and, only little
while after back to ROmansm, as the Rev. The
ophilus Vandomoorte Of Chicago has just done,
evil thinkers will doubt his siucerity-unjustly,
perhaps-and sneerers VIII say that he has bee IN
his bonnet. Nh Yandemoortel has published o card,
IN which be says that the sympathy of old friends
expressed on all sides" has determined him to re-
turn to the Church Of Rome. 1t Is fortunate,
perhaps, that he has not been long enough IN the
Episcopal Church to make many friends. Other
wise be might find himself, like MahOmefs coffin,
m a state of unstable equilibrium, and without any
religion at all.

There is good deal of discussion IN the English
newspapers of the question whether the Prince In
perial really contemplated a restoration Of the
French Empire, and his elevation to the throne.
Various remarks made by him are cited. and ex-
tracts are given from his letters This research,
however. seems hardly necessary. Nobody doubts

It, They sent somebody. we believe. to inquire OF
the officials at the Eastern Pententiary and MoYa-
mensing 70 the proportion OF prisoners now under
their charge Who conld read or write. They could
have reached the point more quickly by examining
the reports of Boards Of Public Charities for few
years, and they would have found the miserable
truth, long ago known to all philanthropists that
vice is not necessarily the result OF ignorance As
rule, the majority Of inmates Of jals and penlten-
taros convicted Of petty Offences are men who can
not read and write, while those guilty Of more
serious crimes have received partial education.
"'Tis pity. and pity tits tits true" The States in
which education is the most generally dihused are
those which sustain the heaviest weight Of convict
population Partly, no doubt this is duo to the
fact that they are the States which are most over
crowded, poorest In resources aud in which cOnse-
quenty more men are driven to live by their wits
This is too large and serious a subject TO cover in
sentence or two. But the result of all statistics
upon il, and arguments based upon them, is that
strictly intellectual education does not necessarily
produce virtue or clean living. Religious truth
must underlie it if a mans nature and behavior as
well as his BRAN, are to be lifted TO higher points

than anything we usually have so early IN August
it was bright, but it was also COOL and brought

cursion except perhaps that there was little com
plant of frgdity at the beaches, while in the
crowded aud less clearly quarters of the city the
inhabitants could take their choice between the

discomfort in either locality. The good moral effect
Of such a delightful Sunday ought TO be conspcu-
Gus I'm minimum of rows, riots and brawls, and
whatever excuses there were could not be fairly
attributed to the temperature. If the beverage
shops were not as fully open upon other days
there was good deal Of lodging in and out at side

pleaded in extenuation of excess. A long continue
ton Of this charming weather is hardly to be eX-
pected; and for that reason and many others the
wise viii enjoy it while it lasts.
