The Don Cossacks of Russia have pc
culiar way of detecting thieves, and the re-
suits of it are sometimes peculiar. Five
thousand roubles of the government mon-
ey, appropriated for the equipment of a
body Of Cossacks, was locked in trunk,
which. for safekeeping, was deposited in
the village church, the key being intrnsted
to judge. After time the Attanan re-
quired portion of the money, but the
Judge, who went to the church to obtain it,
quickly returned with the report that the
whole of it had been stolen. Following
the custom of the Don Cossacks, the Alta
man ordered the VILLAGERS to send him
their handkerchiefs, which he delivered
to a fortune-teller, who was required to
identify the thieves. She was blindfolded,
and at once seized two of the handker-
chiefs, exclaiming, these are the thieves" !"
They belonged to the judge and the priest

selecting Animals to Breed From.

There are two errors very commonly
by persons selecting animals
from which to breed. Some pay too much
attention to prejudice and too little to
form, while others err in the opposite di-
rectiOn. The one will select the animal
with the longest pedigree, whatever be his
form, while the other does not care about
pedigree, but bases his decision ON per
sonal inspection of the animal. The lat
ter of the two is the least Objectionable,
since the stock will be far more likely to
inherit the qualities of an immediate rather
than those Of remote ancestor. While
form and character are of prime import
ance, yet the blood should never be neg
lected. Especially is this point to be re.
garded where stock is bred for the purpose
Of again breeding from it, since he who
breeds from animals whose immediate an
cestOrs were of unknown descent, will be
pretty sure to repent Of his error.

The Notorious Vanderbilt Will.

A New York dispatch of January
4th says A petition was filed
to-day, in tie surrogates court, by
Cornelius j. Vanderbilt, in which com
plants were made against VIM. II.
Vanderbilt and other executors Of the
Vanderbilt will. The petition prays
the court to issue citation requiring ex-
ecutors to show cause why they should
not be superseded and that they
may be enjoined from further
acting in the premises until the matter
in controversy shall be disposed of.
The petition charges, among other
things, that William II. Van
derbilt is specializing in stocks on a gi-
gantic scale, and to greater extent
than has ever been known. and that to
carry on such speculations he has used
and is using the assets of such estate to
a very large extent, as collaterals
on leans, or otherwise. and has
borrowed and is owing over SlS,0O0,000
for specializing purposes; that he has
lost in such speculations several mil
lions Of dollars; that he is of an ex-
citable and reckless temperament and
is endeavOring to sustain the will, ey-
pending large and unnecessary sums of
money to procure and intimidate wit
nesses, and has declared that to sustain
the will he would spend the whole estate
in litigation; that he is not only wild
and reckless in his financial operations,
but is enlarging his railroad interests by
paying more than the interests pur-
chased are worth, ard using the assets
of such estate for this purpose, greatly
to its hazard, that he is
contracting a large debt to the
railroad corporations in which
he is president, by withdrawing for his
own benefit large sums of money from
them, to which their creditors or stock
holders are entitled; that such money
is withheld by him and appropriated to
to his own use by various con-
troversies; that the aggregate sum
thus perverted is very large,
and is recklessly invested and does not
increase the value of the estate, while
subjecting him to large liabilities which
may be enforced against him at any
time, and that his habits, associations,
speculations and expenses are such as
to create a belief that the property he

The Two Obstinate DeacOns.

Burial places have not been unlre-
quent causes of contention, The pres
ent discussion about the cemetery re-
minds us of one that occurred in this
state many years ago. On the question
of the location of a burying ground, one
of the churces was thrown into aviolent
contention and the two deacons were
arrayed OH opposite sides. One morn
ing the pastor meeting Deacon Jones,
said: deacon Smith says if the bury
ing ground is located on the hill he will
never be buried there as long as he lives. "
Deacon Jones, not seeing the Joke, re-
piled: docs he? well, if the lord spares
my life will. "-Bridgepor ( C'nn.) Stand
