According to Professor Grimmer,
there is terrible seven years before
us. From 1880 TO 1887 there will be
universal mortality. Asia will be de-
populated, and Europe will become al
most - desert America will lose
100000 inhabitants. There will be
tempests and foundations. Noprophct
could possible be grimmer than this
one.
Deep drinkers escape govt, not be-
cause they deserve it, but because the
nervous powers Of the stomach are en-
feebled by over stimulation; they
have consequently no appetite, they
eat but little, and fail to accumulate
that excess Of eiiGte and ill-assimilated
heterogeneous matter in the circulation,
which in those who eat more largely,
as we'll as drink freely, is one OF the
principal causes Of the malady.
The musical festival to DO held in
New York in May, 1881, will, ii is said,

mated expense is not less than $4,000,

A Curious Case.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 4.--There is con
siderable noise being made in the Fourth
District in reference to succession case.
Some years ago Mrs Elizabeth Smith died
and intrusted the administration of her
estate and the care Of her three minor chill
dren to Mr., Carl Kummel. Last summer
the Oldest Of the children, Philip Schnei-
der, reached bis majority and called upon
Kummel for a settlement. He explained,
or pretended to, and then asked Philip to
sign document releasing HIN from all
responsibility as tutor. Philip ,
however was sensible enough not
to fall into a trap, and
he declined to sign the receipt and re-
tanned as counsel Messrs Morse and Bas.
lex, who applied to the courts for the
emancipation Of the young ladies. From
this on Kummel fought them unit! he was
compelled to file an account. The account
shows that he expended some $4,000 foT
the benefit OF his wards. They have, how.
ever, filed an opposition in which they
take up Kummels accounts seriatim, and
allege that the amounts charged are excess,
| i've, etc. 1t is related that Kummel com.
PEELED the young ladies to work in his
house as servents but regularly charged
them $4j each for board. 1t is also alleged
that bills for clothing were raised and
falsely charged. Kummel was formerly a
state senator,
