IMPORTANT LAW SUIT.
Alleged Heirs Laying Claim to
81 $500, ,OOO, 900,

A suit Involving the disposal of an
immense estate, estimated to exceed in
value $500, 100000, is about to be insti-
tuted in the U. s. Circuit Court for the
ID Western District Of Pennsylvania. About
twelve years ago Jacob Baker, a wealthy
resident of Philadelphia, died without
leaving any children, legitimate or ille-
climate. At the time OF his death his
heirs were unknown. 4 The estate con
sisted of fifteen acres in the heart OF
Philadelphia, on which were erected a
large number of valuable dwellings be-
longing to the deceased, but leased to
other partiea TliSTe we're also large
sums on deposit tO,Ais credit In various
banks. Since Bakers death this real
estate Is supposed to have increased in
value about one-third, and the depO5-
Its to have doubled themselves. The de-
ceased had number of cousins in this
country and these, with their children,
now numbering probable forty in all,
have decided 10 bring PROCEEDINGS for
the possession of the Immense property.
There are relations Id Somerset county,
Pennsylvania; Salem, Ohio; West Vir-
ginia and New York. This brings the
matter within the jurisdiction OF the

AN IDYL OF OYSTERS.

tones by ROsalind Mcclure, hOated dag
Onally across the parlOr to where Pansy
Perkins was seated on q fauteuil con

came, bringing out in all its beauty the
peachy complexion for which the Per

And so they ehatted on, unmindful of
the fact that Just across the room there
sat a w6man- -beautiful, but with cold
feet whose eyes was never taken from
them, and in whose heart the fires of
jealousy were raging in all their lurid
ferceness. ROsalind Mcclure loved

heart, attacked in vain by countless
suitOrs, suddenly pOurs out unbidden all
the hidden treasures of its love. Such a
love Is terrible In its intensity, and only

A MAN WHO is PUZZLING
THE SCIENTISTS.


Mr.. Stuart Cumberland, of England,
performed at the Everett House, last
night, some experiments in the repro.
ductiOn by natural means of sO-called
spirit phenomena, and in what is called
th0ught-readinK. The spectators were
chiefly physicians and clergymeD. 80
MT. Cumberland said at starting that
ne protested to have no power Of look
ing into the mind, but only extraOrdi-
nary keenness in perceiVing the effect
OF intent mental action upon the body.
Then Henry Ward Beecher submitted
himself as subject. Mr.. Cumberland,
having been blindfOlded, took Beeeher
by the hand, led him to d. Meredith
Clymer, and seized pair of eyeglasses
hanging upon DR.. Clymer's breast, and
upon which the subject had fixed his
mind
In the next experiment, DR.. Geo. NJ.
Beard and the Rev. George II. HepwOrth
accompanied Mr.. Cumberland into an
adJoining room as Witness, after
which one of the company made two
small pencil marks upon the walls at
dlterent points, and fixed his mind on
Dr. A. b. Ball, who seereted gold piece
In his shoe. By contact, as in the frst
experiment, Mr.. Cumberland, still blind
folded, placed his finger upon the pencil
marks, and then found the gold piece
which the subject had seen secreGed in
DR.. Ball's,shOe.
"Is anygentleman here suffering from
pa1nP" asked Mr.. Cumberland.
II an" Mr.. HepwOrth said.
The m1nd-reader dropped upon his
knees and placed his hand on the gentle
mans ankle. ~ & "a
He is right" Mr.. HepwOrth said, 81
am suffering from the gOut."
One OF those present looked at the date
upon coin, after which ME-. Gumber=
land seized his hand, held It to his own
forehead for a moment, and still grasp
ing 1t, wrote 1851" with the other
hand. s.
II thought it was 1861 when first
looked at it,but found Immediately after
L was wrong" the gentleman said. Mr.
Cumberland then wrote 1866, which was
pronounced correct. rg
Several other experiments were given,
With DIR. w. "A. Hammond, who was
blindfOlded, the exhibitor showed the
difficulty of locating" sound by the ear
only, and he also illustrated the false,
impression which the sense3Qf .tO6chl
may give, He caused spirit rappings by
cracking the joints of his hands and
feet
DR.. Beard asked for the privilege Of
proposing two exDerimentss. Eor the
first he stuck fifty pins near together in
the top of a table. Being bli1dfolded,
Cumberland grasped Beeeher by the
hand, and Beecher was requested tO.Ax
his mind on particular pin. Suddenly
,Cumbefland dropped Tho hand and
pulled out pin, which Beecher said
was the one on which his mind was

Woman among savages is a beast of burden; in Asia she is a piece o1 furniture; in Europe she Is a spoiled child.-Senac de Meilhan. The highest mark of esteem a wo- man can give a man is to ask his friendship; and the most signal proof of her indifference is to offer him hers.
 Men are so fearful of wounding a woman's vanity that they rarely re- member that she may by some possi- bility possess a grain of common 6ense.-Miss Braddon.
 At twenty man is less a lover of woman than of women: he is more in love with the sex than with the indi- vidual, however charming she may be.-Retif de la Bretonne.
 Women of the world never use harsh expressions when condemning their rivals. Like the savage, they hurl elegant arrows, ornamented with feathers of purple and azure, but with poisoned points.

SONG OF TKE WRECK.

The wind blew high, the waters raved ship drove on the land, hundred human creatures saved kneeled down upon the sand. Threescore were drowned, threescore wer
 thrown
 Upon the black rocks wild, And thus among them, left alone, They found one helpless child. A seaman rough, to shipwreck bred, Stood out from all the rest, And gently laid the lonely head Upon his honest breast, And travelling OCT the desert wide It was a solemn joy To sec them, ever side by side, The sailor and the boy. Tn famine. sickness, hunger, thirst, Tbe two were still but one, Until the strong dropped the first And felt his laborS done. Then to tTuSty friend he Spake:
 a Across the desert wide, o take this poor boy for my sake" And kiss'd the enid and died. TOiling along in weary plight Through heavy jungle, mire, These two came later every night To warm them at the fire. Until the Captain said one day, 70 seaman, good and kind, To save myself now come away And leave the child behind!' The child was slumberingsnear the blaze; 70 Captain, let him rest Until it sinks. when Gods own ways Shall teach US what is best !'' They watch'd the whiten'd ashy heap, Then touch'd the child in vain, They did not leave him there asleep, He never woke again.

TWO STRANGE DUELS.
How Seven FurieS Fought fn an
 EElSEian Arena.

Poplar River, Montana, was recent ly the scene of two exciting Indian contests, which are described in 8 letter to the New York Sun. The first was tournament between two medicine men," to determine who should have the honor of attending the sick wife of Two Bears, the chief.
 The mode of fighting was f0r the two rivals to rash at each other from no-hundred- yard distances, and to endeayor by the crash of the meeting to send the opponent to the ground. After each terrific ''bump" the ''medi- cine men" would at 1t again. Finally, Dne of them went reeling to earth, sAnd stole crestfallen to his lodge, while tha-vliax went with honors to the chief'5 sieE wife Following this was the fight between the four young daughters of Pole cat, and a young buck who had assaulted one of their number. The scene is thus described by the correspondent: "The lines are broken and the tribe forms huge ring, into which tho savage who provoked the animosity of the Polc-cat family is summarily thrust. He looks sulIcn and d0gged. He has hard fight before him, and he knows it, but he js a man of his hands, and he means to wear those girls out if 1t lies in muscle and prompt and effective work. He may strike them anywhere above the breast, and kill them if a blow in the neck will doit, but bullets and arrows are ready for him if he strikes foul. The girls, on the other hand, must take of his apron. If they accom- plish that, he is disgraced to the uttcrmost moment of h;s life, driven from Us tribe. left to stare on the

 hef. and so she Is careful to select only enough to make the battle near ly equal. The Pole-ca girls are the belles of the Yanktonais tribe. If 5qu&w can be pretty, these girls are beautiful, and by virtue of their at fractions and their fathers posses sions iii horses and other satisfactory property, they are the aristocrats of the camp. Perhaps for that reason they ask no help in their present un-
 dertaking; and for that reason also, perhaps, their savage sisters giggle
 and exchange whispers as the four
 girls step into .he ring and approach
 the waiting buck. All five are in full
 war paint Down the hunters cheeks
 and along his neck are alternate sepia
 and green and yellow stripes on
 background of brilliant red, while
 his chest, sides, and back are tricked
 out with rude pictures of. guns, bows,

 their faces with a coating ofred, over
 which lies another of green striped
