Yellow Fever.

that the disease is decreasing. 1t is
fortunate that the people fled from the
city at the outbreak of the disease
Only about ten thousand people arc

days report recorded twelve new cases
and three deaths. There seems to be
no outbreak of the disease among ref.

has, it is to be hoped, smothered the

other points. Most every point con.

Mrs. Dorsey died in Louisiana
short while ago leaving 10 ex-Presi-
dent Jefferson Davis her entire es-
tate, valued at quarter of a million
dollars. She had no heirs except u
brother. and sister in Brooklyn, New
York. They are already wealthy
themselves, but have given notice
that they intend to contest the validi-
ty of the legacy 10 MrDaxis. 1t is q
shamefnlly weak point in our laws
that allows such instruments to be an
nulled. The last will and testament
of every man, DO he sane or insane,
should be respected. This insanity
dodge is becoming wofully chronic,
and something should be done to put
reasonable check to it.

A Glimpse Of Darwin at Home.
lLondon Court Circular.l

London Court Circular.l
NJ. de Sarcey, in two letters to the
KLINE Seecle' describes visit to
Mr.. Darwin at his country house in-
Kent. The first letter is devoted to
great admiration of English sylvan
scenery and breaks of with an cpl.
sode occasioned by the view of Sir
John Lubbock's pretty park near Mr..
Darwin's residence. Sir John lately
asked him and his colleague NJ. Bar
bier the best French translator of Mr..
DGwint works. TO dinner at the
House of Commons refreshmens
rooms. On presenting themselves
an usher solemnly assured them that
Sir j. Lubbock was not in the pre-.
cincts. Nj. Barber, who speaks
English perfectly, explained that they
were invited to dinner and handed
cards. The usher disappeared with
them, but returned to reafilrm that
Sir John was not there. All thi:
time Sir John pulling out his watch
and wondering why the expected
guests did not arrive. Tho second
letter gives an account of a breakfast
with +. Darwin and his family. NJ.
Sarcey was surprised 10 see such q
vigorous old man. Mr.. Darwin
spoke of his age, and regretted that,
though in good health, he could not
live long enough to complete the
work he had in hand. He has given
the last finishing touches to his
"Origin of Species" which will be no
more revised, but he is occupied with
a life of his grandfather, the physi-
clan, and work on the mobility OF
plants. NJ. Sarcey does not venture
TO say word of English. NJ. Bar
bier was interpreter, and the two
French visitors left highly honored
and deli GIFTED.

Another remarkable case of will
breaking is reported from Philadel-
phia. About year ago Robt. Whit
aker died, leaving an estate worth
more than a million of dollars. Some
distant relatives were lett out and the
estate has been in the hands of law
yers ever since. A few days ago
Mrs. Whitaker died, leaving a hall
million TO friends. Suit has been
brought TO have her will broken also.
1t is probable that none of the heirs
Will receive their legacies and that
the lawyers will gobble up both for
tunes. The statutes should be re-
vised with reference to this will
breaking business. That which a
man last directs as to his own prop.
erty should be respected and II is
clearly bare-faced impudence for a
sixteenth cousin to step in and claim
that which has been devised to a
friend by the testator.

1t will be a crying shame to throw
away Democratic votes on Fuqua,
who said, on the stump at cambridge,
that his object was to "blot theDemo-
cratic party from the face of the EARTH
1t is equally as disreputable to vote
for Feland, who endorses hard
money, bayonets at elections and su.
pervisors of elections, to cheat a State
out of its duly elected officers. These
Supervisors are the noted Returning
Board thieves of 1875. Mr.. Feland
wants every precious soul of them
kept in office; he desires them to have
power to change the face of election

Republicans acknowledge their ras
cality, and yot Mr.. Feland is in favor
OF every mothers son of them. A
somewhat Inconsistent faith for al

A WOMAN CURED BY PRAYER Flom
the Bridgeport Comm Standard, May
1Gth.l-The quiet village OF Stafford has
been having little sensation on its own
hook in the healing way. The matter has
been kent, very quiet, and until now the
particulars OF the. case have never beer
made public. A widow OF that place, aged
about forty-twu, has been confined to her bed
for about three years with painful disease,
contracted. as is supposed. by overwork:
She has been treated by number OF promi-
uent physicians without success, and had
almost despaired of relief. Hearing OF the
prayer-cures of Mrs. Mix. Of WoIcottrille,
she began thinking about calling upon her
for assistance. and had made up her mind
to do so, when the. thought occurred to her
that what Mrs. Mix could do by prayer and
faith she also might do by the same means.
She resolved to try the experiment, and
for about week prayed that she might
be made whole. At last, she claims,
her prayers were answered. She felt
a peculiar thrill run through her, and
Immediately afterward she arose from her
bed and walked. She called out, and her
friends and neighbors rushed in and were
surprised by. the sight OF the sick woman
standing upon her long-unused feet and
able to walk. The lady afterward attended
church, manifesting great 10y over her sud-
den recovery. This was about three weeks
ago, and she has since remained as we'll as
ever; She had been under medical treat
ment in New York and New Haven, but
had abandoned it some time before her sud-
den cure. s<s sa 81

REPAIRING THE EYE.-[From Gatignanfs
MESSENGER, May 4.]-Some curious facts
have come to light about the regeneration
of the eye during experiments made by NJ.
Philippeaux, facts OF very pleasing kind II
we only infer that what applies to inferior
animals is applicable also to man. M.
Phiippeaux has been, it seems. anxious to
discover whether on completely emptying
the eyes OF young rabbits and guinea-pigs
the yitreous humor would be recognized,
and whether even the crystalline would
be reproduced. With this view he
has been conducting his operations,
always, OF course, taking care not to
touch the crystalline capsule, for eX-
perience has shown that in order that an
organ shall regenerate, portion of it must
be left in its place. 1t seems that a month
after the mntilation was effected the expert
mentalist was able to state that the eyes,
which had been emptied, were filed afresh,
and that the crystalline was reconstructed.
He operated on twenty-four animals, and in
each case the mutilated eye revived. This
would seem TO show that the optic organ has
the same capabilities as the bones; the or
ganic process repairs an evil and recon-
structs more or less completely that portion
which has been Struck of from the whole.
