PROVING WILLS BEFORE DEATH.

The number of contests i'll our courts
over the genuincness of wills attracts
attention to the expediency of such a
law as that recently passed by the Nlichi-
gan Legislature, similar law being now
pending before the Legislature of Wis
consin. This law is intended to prevent
the scandals occasioned by contests, in
which dissatisfied heirs attempt to prove
testators lunatics or idiots, by admitting
wills to probate as soon as made.
1t is provided that the contents Of each
will may be kept secret, at the option of
the tcstator, the document being sealed,
properly registered and put in place of
safe keeping. 1t is possible that grave
abuses might grow up under the pro-
posed system. 1t would not do, of course,
to have each will copied into the books
OF the court, for the curiosity of inter-
ested heirs might find way to discover
its contents, and the result might be the
inhiction of torments innumerable upon
the testator by disappointed heirs
Neither would it be possible to prevent
tampering with wills duly admitted, re-
corded and placed in the vaults of the
court for safe keeping as corrupt officers
might be hired to destroy or change
them. The experiment will be watched
with universal interest, but until thor
ough test has shown it to be perfectly
satisfactory, the best plan for man who
wishes to have 10 quarrel over his will
must be regarded as that of a division OF
his property before he dies.

Shooting Affair in Bel Air.

During an alteration in Bel Air Mon
day night at Edward Ferry's store, Geo,
Fry was knocked down by Patrick Toh-
any. Tohany, his brother John and
Frank Trainor, who, it is said, started
the trouble, were put out. Deputy sheriff
Carman was sent for. Mr.. VIM Cooley
went with him to assist him preserving
the peace. The Tohany party, it is al
legged, threw stone into the room from
outside, cutting James Lingan's head.
Cooley tried to arrest Patrick Tohany,
who ran and to frighten and cause him
to stop, fired his pistol, aiming, as he
thought. in the air. The ball however
struck John Tohany in the lower part of
the back, passing through his spine and
lodging in the cavity of the stomach.
The wound is dangerous.

TRUE TO HIS CHARACTER.

JEFF Davis has many visitors at his
home in Beauvoir, Miss. He is bent and
crippled with age. Says gentleman
who has recently visited him: The war
is ended. The bones are dust of many
of the brave soldiers who fought on both
sides. Every day all over the land effort
is being made to bury the dead past,
and kindly words from the North and
South, mingled together, fall like sweet
flowers on the nations grave, and the
grave itself is almost levelled. The yam
kee soldier and the ex-reb are proud to
grasp hands and go out of their way to
make public attestation of their friendli-
ness and forgetfulness of old sores and
scars. Only this one old man never for
gets. The sight of little heaped mound
of earth, in which lies one of the South
ern deaa, is enough to send all his thin
old blood racing through his veins. The
sound of one of the sweet, half mournful
tunes that used to be the war songs of
the Southern soldier thrill him even yet.
All the old fires of battle, of resistance of
wrongs, are kindied anew. All the bent
enthusiasms break forth. TO arms, to
arms.' in shrill, strange voice he would
cry to-day if even there were one so poor
as to listen to him. 1t is strangely sad,
strangely pathetic. Amid all this wide
continent of hurrying human beings, the
figure of this old gray man stands alone.
If from one end to the other of this coun-
try there sounded the cry To arms, to
battle, who can doubt but what that
lonely man at Bcauvoir would unsheath
his rusted sword, creep into his moth
eaten garments of gray and shake over
head the tattered remnants of the Con
federate flag. The cry of way would
mean to him the same that it did when
the summons came to him SO many years
ago and found him brave, eager, active
and hot blooded. Why, whenever he ad
dresses an audience here, whether it he
on field or in building, it is the same old
hot fury breaking forth. The very SOL
diers that once hurrahed about his knees
now petulantly exclaim, oh why can't
he let up?' | tell you, jeff Davis will
never cease his battle cries till greater
enemy than all shall look him in the
fooo -
