The will of Peter Goelet. the millionaire, is
brief and exceedingly business-like. 1t was
executed before the death of Robert Goelet
and makes certain bequests to him which
will DOW 90 to his heirs. The real estate is
divided among Robert Goelet and his two
sisters, the personal estate is left to Robert
Goelet and there is specific legacy-the
only one contained i'll the wll-of half a
million dollars to Elbridge Il. Gerry. There
is no bequest to any other individual, or to
any society or association, benevolent or
otherwise.

Virginia has political dictator in the per-

the Conservative Democracy. 1t is stated.

White Africans.

Major Pinto, the Portuguese ex-
plorer, who has just crossed Africa,
from Benguella southwestward TO
Natal, describes q race of white men
found by him near the headquarters
OF the Zambazi. He says:
al one day noticed that one Of the
carriers was a white man. lie be-
longed 10 race entirely unknown
up to the present day. A great
white people exist in South Africa.
Their name is Cassequer; they are
whittier than the Caucassians, aud in
place Of hair have their heads cover
ed with small tufts OF very short
wool. Their cheek bones are promi-
! nent, their eyes like those OF the Chi
nose. The men are extremely robust.
When they discarge an arrow at All
elephant the shaft is completely bu-
ried in the animals body. They live
on roots and the chase, and II is only
when these supplies fnil them that
they hold any relations with the
neighboring race, the Ambuelas,
from whom they obtain food in cx-
change for ivory. The Cassequercs
are an entirelyromadic race, and new
or sleep two nights in the same cn-
campment. They are the only peo-
pleo in Africa that do not cook their
food in pots. They wander about in
groups of from four TO six families,
over all the territory lying between
tho Cuchi and the Cuhango. 1T
would seem that from a crossing of
tho Cassequeros with the negroes of
other races sprang those mulattoes
of the South, whom the English call
Bushmen. The latter are however,.
better of'than theCassequeres, ,and,uso
pots in cooking their food, while
their dispositions are good, though
quite opposed to civilization
| Unfortunately Major Pinto does
not say whether he saw more than
one ofthe white Africans he describes,
or whether the account he gives of
them is based OH observation or on
hearsay. His promised book may
clear up the matter.

Testimony In Full. r

The examining trial oeE. L. Gou-
hot for tho killing Of r, G. Hipkins
on the night ofiAugust lst, was held
before Judge McCarroll in the city
court last Monday and Tuesdsy.Fgt
The case was one Of considerable
interest, and believing that the pro-
ceedings Of the court would be ofin-
terest 10 the public, we attended the
trial and give the evidence pro and
con, as given by the several witness
es. We include also tho facts ELECTED
from them by cross examination,
though for the sake of-brevity. we
omit the eque5tions, of the attorneys.
In order that the evidence about the
pistols may be understood it
is necessary to state that the
"large" pistol was fired by Gouhot,
and the "small' ono by Hipkins, and
each OF the men shot twice. Both.
men were wounded, Gouhot in the
shoulder and Hipkins in the abdo-
men, and the latter died from his
wound in about three hours. The
following is The evidence introduced

ODE TO DEATH.

BY MRS. oLlvEwooD.
Why do you creep and glide,
ie wavelets of life's tide,
So slowly, YEARLY by?
Is not eternity nigh
That we may grasp il?
To the life that is SO gay and free
Ye do so swiftly flee,
That when you draw so near
CHASTITY they grow with fear.
And trembling gasp it.
But from those life-weary,
Those whose days are dreary,
Death fees so far away
Into the distance gray
They cannot grasp ii.
Stretching imploring hands
Out to the unknown lands,
Fain would they ay with thee
Into the long eternity,
And think il gain.
But not for them is rest,
They are the stranger guest.
Naught but to patiently wait
To enter the golden gait;
Their cry is vain.

BIGNEss AND GREATNESS. --Bigncss Is

whale weighs heavier than man blub-
Der, after all, is not worth 30 much as
human thought and feeling. Bulk, in
deed, is nothing; quantity is all and in
all. China covers an area that would
swallow thousands of Dondons but the
heart Of the world beats here, not there
and the civilization Of humanity derives
its greatest impulses from our sccthing
metropolis, and not from the stagnation
Of Pekin. Athens was a small State,
but two or three of its men have domi-
mated the thought Of twenty centuries of
thinkers. Pericles, in one of bis grand
rhetorical declarations, affirmed that its
whole polity was a school for Greece,
and all the cities and towns Of Europe
yet sit at its feet for instruction in art.
Jerusalem is only a small speck, percep-
tible with difficulty, lying in the centre
Of the great empires Of antiqity, of
Egypt and Ethiopia, Assyria and Baby
lonia, Greece and Rome and yet from
Zion proceeded the law, and tho Word
Of the Lord from Jerusalem and no
voice is so potent to-day. or has been Tor
