Foolish Wills.

Foolish wills are proverbial; wise
wills are rare, and deserve notice. The
testament Of one of our adopted Ger
man citizens, which was lately filed in
Brooklyn, is peculiar for its practical
and sensible tone which at the same
time shows deep affection for those
who survived him. The testator was
not content with directing the distribu
ton of his property, but left careful
suggestions as to the education of his
children. He desired that they should
be instructed in all necessary branches
of learning, and also in the use of sat
least one musical instrument" unless
there should be positive lack of tai
ent for 1T. He wishes the attention Of
his sons to be turned early to some
practical occupation" such as "civil
and mining engineering, architecture,
chemistry, or something similar" He
does not favor business careers for
them, but is anxious that they should
acquire clear handwriting, and q
good acquaintanceship with arithmetic,
and above all, o thorough knowledge
ef their native tongue, the English
language" There is so much wise and
atfectiorate forethought here, that this
disclosure OF it seems justitiable for
the sake of the example it affords. And
it may be said, in all seriousness, that
this recommendation respecting the
necessity of "a thorough knowledge Of
the English language might he judi
ciously incorporated in many willis

A BRIDGE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
The world is always ready to be daz.
zled by q professedly scientific plan /;
the less understood and the more i'm.
practicable, the better. Here is the
last, which certainly shoves the flying
machine and Keeley's motor out Of
sight altogether. Monsieur Eustache
Canon has discovered that the only
thing now lacking to our dignity and
comfort as nation is a highway to
Europe, ard the easiest thing in the
world is to build one on bridge or
embankment from Newfoundland to
Great Britain. The bridge is to be
1900 miles long, two miles deep. which
requires $4,000 cubic miles of embank-
ment. The earth requisite for this
long breakwater can be dug out of
Newfoundland; the labor can be cheaply
furnished by emptying the prisons Of
Europe and America; the money which
is the only other trifing essential
necessary, is to be raised by stock
company of capitalists here and in
Europe. Monsieur Canon is now in
Washington, it is said, urging his
plan, but we have not yet found the
shares in his company quoted in the
regular stock markets. His name is
too suggestive.
