The will of John Davenport, of
Portland, Oregon, was compelled to
take long journey. Mr.. Davenport
died in England, and his will was pro-
bated in London. AS he left $4,000
worth of property in Oregon, it was
necessary that it should also be probat-
ed there. 1t was also requisite that
the original document should be pro-
duced, and as when will is probated
in England the Probate Court keeps it
in charge, an officer Of the London
court had to make the journey to
Oregon with Mr. Dayenports will, in
order that it might be probated there
This has been done, and it is said to
have been the first instance Of the
kind that ever occurred.

A very curious thing about deaf
mutes is the rapidity with which they
learn the meaning and use of slang
words and phrases. The ordinary
street language of the day seems to be
as familiar tothem as it is to the peo-
pie whose organs of hearing are not
impaired, and they will say in their
own way, you bet your boots!" or
"you bet your sweet life" with as
much ease and grace as if they had it
at their tongues end all their lives.
One of the afflicted young men, when
asked for an explanation of this re-
markable fact, said the deaf mutes got
their knowledge of slang from the
newspapers; that they were great
readers of the papers, and snapped up
the new phrase or word just the
moment it made its appearance. They
not only use slang in writing, but in
their sign-language.

Chicago claims to be cosmopolitan
Little more than fifty per cent of its
population was born in the United
States, and according to the statistics
for 1882, given as based upon the
Federal census Of 1880, no less than
$4,000 of the present inhabitants of
that city have poured from the various
states of the German empire. The
Bohemians number 10000; Canadians,
$4,000; Danes, 300; French, nearly
1000; Irish, nearly $4,000; Iollanders,
$500; Italians, 1,400; Norwegians,
500; Swedes, 10000; Poles, $500,
and Swiss 1000, with a sprinkling of
Russians, Hungarians, Spaniards,
Portuguese, and men Of almost every
other race and nationality under the
sun.

Some of the Western Judges draw
nice distinctions. An Arkansas court
has decided that it is not arson for a
man to set fire to his own house, while
by an Indiana tribunal it is held that
to constitute the crime of arson the
house itself, and not merely its con-
tents, must be set on fire. But a late
California decision is perhaps more
unique than either. The Supreme
Court reversed conviction for perjury
on the ground that the false testimony
given by the offender was not material
to the case, and therefore could not be
perjury.

An apt illustration of Will Cartoons
poem, "Over the Hill to the Poor
house." has occurred in Cleveland,
Ohio. An old man named Jonathan
c. Bowles died recently at the city
infrmary. seventy-fve years old, child
less, friendless, and alone. Years ago
he was wealthy, and owned large
hotel in East Cleveland, on the spot
where Adelbert College now stands,
and later was an aflluent merchant.
He is said to have been twice worth
100000, lost in real estate specula-
tons, and to have always possessed a
horror of going to the poor-house.
Among the papers found in his
mothers old satchel was discovered a

poem, "Over the Hills to tho Poor
