How Big Estate Was Divided by Lot.
Mention was made recently of the
lottery schemefor the partition of lands
between heirs, and it was supposed that
the division of the Bailey estate was
mede in this way for the first time in
this State. It appears, however, that
one Of the largest estates in Missouri
was partitioned in 1864, under the
direction of Mr.. Britton A. Hill, coun-
selor for the estate of Peter Lindell,
the real estate whereof was valued at
about $6,000,000 There were ten
heirs, each one being entitled to one
tenth of the whole estate. By virtue Of
contract executed for that purpose
between the heirs, the city and country
lots, comprising the whole estate, were
accurately surveyed, numbered and
plated by w. H.. Cozzens, Esq, and
each lot was appraised by Commission
ers Charles K Dickson, James T.
ISweringen and Charles H. Peck. They
then divided the lots into ten equal
shares, and each share was bound with
it's plats and streets and descriptive
calls On the day of the allotment in
1864, the heirs met in the unfinished
room in the second story at the south
east corner of the first Lindeu Hotel.
The ten numbers of the shares we're
written on the respective shares from
che to ten by the counselor, the ten
numbers were written on ten square
pieces of paper and placed in a hat;
the names of the ten heirs we're written
on ten other square pieces of paper
and placed in another hat. Neither one
of the heirs knew the contents of either
one of the bound volumes containing
the several shares When all was
ready, crippled boy beggar, passing
on Washington avenue, was called in,
blindfolded under protest, and directed
to draw one paper from each hat, thus
designating the name of the heir and
the number of the share, and to con-
tinue until the drawing of lots was ccm-
pleted. The blindfolded boy was
released. and bright. tears gistened in
his eyes. as ten golden half-eagles were
dropped into his hand, and he was told
that he had completed the division of
the great gLindell estate to the satisfao-
ton of all the heirs then present. st.

A Sick World.

The world is sick, and the doctors do
not seem to be helping the patient
much. On the other hand it appears to
be getting worse. The plague which
broke out in Astrakhan is steadily adj
vancing northwestwardly into Russia,
and the whole empire is thoroughly
alarmed. They have not only the
plague to guard against but numerous
other epidemics. Smallpox. and viru-
lent type Of typhus fever are increasing
alarmingly in Central Russia An cpl
demic is raging in Siberia, and unknown
diseases have broken out, sweeping off
the people by thousands. Wherever
large bodies Of men are gathered, fatal
sickness breaks out. The Russian
troops in the Balkan peninsula are suf-
fering fearfully with spotted typhus
fever. A large detachment of troops
which recently arrived at Tripoi from
Constantinople was suddenly taken
down with a mysterious disease which
proves so fatal that the Mediterranean
ports have quarantined against it.
Meanwhile the cholera is at work in
Morocco and at other points in Northern
Africa The physicians Of England say
there never was time when lung dis
eases were so prevalent as now, and the
same is true in the northern section of
our own country. It is an almost uni
versal complaint from New England to
California, especially in the cases OF
people of advanced age, that, instead OF
shaking off cold, it rapidly assumes
the form of pneumonia and proves
fatal. There probably never has been a
time in the West when diseases of the
throat and lungs were so prevalent as
now. To add to the calamity of the
situation, the germs OF the yellow fever,
which were supposed to have been
killed by the frost, have again made
their appearance in the South. Even
the brute creation are not spared, for
the cattle in Russia, Germany, England,
and to q certain extent the United
States, are suffering with pleuro-pneu-
monia. Prof. Law, of Cornell Univer-
sity, who has been directed to investi-
gate the causes and extent Of the dis
ease in New York State, visited a Long
Island stable the other day and found
800 COWS suffering from the disease.
The hogs have the cholera, and the
horses in some sections are coming
down with the, epizootic. Upon the
whole the outlook for the coming sum
mer is not very encouraging one.

Dash, of Maine, accompanied 10y
his wife, visited New York. The
Judge ''put up' at "the tavern
down by the Battery" Before re.
firing for the night, and after
Mrs. Dash had retired, the Judge
thought that he would have a
bath. Having performed his ablu-
ton, the judge looked about for
some receptacle into which he
might turn The contents of his
waShbOwl.
There was nothing at hand,
and rather than summon u ser
want, the old gentleman conceiv-
ed the idea Of throwing the water
out OF the window.
So mounting chair he opened
little square window, which he
thought opened into lit back
ward, and putting the bowl
through it, deliberately emptied
its contents.

AMERICAN LINEN.-The manu-

seats of the linen industry are
Ireland, Scotland and Russia,
though France, and Germany and
other nations are engaged in it to
a greater or less exteD,.-Ireland
beats the world on fine linens,
Scotland takes the lead on coarse
goods, and Russia is the greatest
flax growing country on the face
OF the earth and to all three of
these we iuust bow our heads and
acknowledge our inferiority and
dependence in the directions emu

bnSoms is nearly all of Irish manu-
facture, aud fine handkerchiefs,
towels. napkins, damask. ETC.,
come from the same source.
All of the latter articles are al.

and other European countries.
Some OF Onr linen towels come
from Russia, and a good deal of
heavy bagglng, crash. and da.
