A Paradise for Householders.

Utopia, from the rate-payers' point of
view, has at length been discovered. 1t
is small town, situate in the very heart
of the rich and fruitful Rhenish Palatin-
ate, and its brief, unromantic name is
Schopp. Recently the municipality of
this ideal burg, finding its receipts
largely in excess of expenditures, re-
solved to dispose of the cash balance at
its command by presenting to every
householder within the civic precincts
the handy little sum of f2 los. A SIM
liar repartition of surplus income took
place few years ago, upon which still
more propitious occasion each rate-pay-
ing citizen received bonus of "a from
the town exchequer. Oar German con-
temporaries. the Frank tsrter and Koin-
ischer Ze,tungen, in recording the above
mentioned facts, with justifsble pride
and exultation, point out that the solu-
ton of life's most difficult problem
how to eat your cake and have it. too
has obviously been attained in Schopp.
That the place, they Observe. in which
the heart that is humble may hope to
achieve perfect contentment. The Co
logne Gazette concludes its reference to
this fiscal paradise. 1.-THE happiest spot

its readers, couched in terms as stirring
as they are terse. 1t runs as follows:

lied the hose. and. turning a stream of

"A long legal contest at Tolland,
Conn.,, was ended in the breaking of a
will because the testator was Spiritu-
alist. Calvin Hall was for the. twenty
three years preceding his death a firm
believer in Spiritualism. He built two
meeting houses for congregations Of
that faith, and his conduct was largely
controlled, as he declared, by spirits,
some of whom came to him visibly and
audibly. while others communicated
through mediums. In other matters he
was not peculiar, and he did not rely
on all the supernatural advice which he
received, for he believed that many
spirits were liars and tools; but he fol-
lowed the directions of several of these
ghostly counsellors implicitly, even in
the making of his will. The contest
ants proved these facts in court, while
the other side introduced expert testi-
mony to establish Halls soundness of
mind. Judge Martins charge was ex-
ceedingly cautious, and he did not discuss
[directly whether Halls religious views
indicated an impairment of intellect,
but simply told the jurors that they
were to judge, from the evidence.
whether he was mentally capable OF
making will. The verdict declaring
the will invalid was agreed to without
delay.

nently engaged IN the factiOnal hight IN
the Republican party at this time, aud
however unjust the reflection upon
them, the people will take notice o. the
slightest circumstance, and now this is
the only circumstance to note. 1t leads
naturally, without the intervention of a
bridge, to reflection upon politics in the
immediate future. In the event of the
death OF Garfield, Chester A. Arthur, a
Stalwart, and the managing politician
of the chief of the Stalwarts, becomes
President of the United States. What
effect will this have? The answer to
the question must be speedy and deci-
sive. Will che Stalwarts take full pos
session of the Government? Will Gen.
eral Arthur wipe off the work of Garfield
and present clean slate for Conkling
and his followers2 Will the Senatorial
contest in New York be brought to an
end, in favor of Conkllng, by the return
to the Stalwart grasp OF official patron
age and jobbery in place? Will Robert
son be ousted from the Custom-housep
Will the Cabinet be demolished and
Gariields friends everywhere over
thrown? Will Ohio be punished?
The natural drift would seem to be
toward all this; but public indignation
may outrun it all. The other wing of
the Republican party may rise up and
barricade the path of these politicians
