A FREE RIDE.
The Device of an Ingenious Englishman
to Beat a Railway Company
A506gic1g Ps0jefos

A free journey by rail inside carriage,
holding a complimentary" in your waist
coat pocket, maybe, and doubtless is, a
very pleasant thing. To travel free, as
Mr.. Geo. Adams, of Northampton, Eng
land, did the other day, hOweYer,is scarcely
to be recommended. Nor is it at all plea
SAINT, as that gentleman will be ready at
this moment to admit. Mr.. Adams found
himself in Liverpool sans six sous, and
being OF a sans sOuci disposition, deter
mined to get home by new and original
method of ''macing the ratUler,' as a
craftsman would say, III est, Of cheating
the railroad company. His idea, to say
the least of it, was ingenious, but he had
reckoned without his host. He procured
two stout pieces of rope, which he fasten-
ed to the aXles of the carriage, leaving a
moose at the end of each. Into one moose
he put his legs, while he inserted his
shoulders into the other. In this position
he hung when the train started. The
train was an express, and did not stop
until Crewe was reached. which is about
70 miles from Liverpool. He was rather
uncomfortable when the train began to
move, but when il got into full swing he
had real torture, and when he reached
Crewe he was nearly dead with fright.
Here he was taken into custody. To the
magistrate who adiudicated on the case
he explained that his sensations when
swaying to and fro were something awful
and the effect of the sleepers as they rush
ed past him nearly robbed him of reason
and he twas afraid that every moment
the rope would slip from his shoulders
and hang him. The magistrate decided
very cutely thai he had had enough pun
ishment and remarking ,osy saeeIv that
he was not likely to repeat the o2peri-
ment sent him about his bust
hess. An excursion on the stick of a
CongrOve rocket on the tail of comet
might he more exciting than this, but not
much.

How GreatJudges Make Invalid Wills.


The case of the Earl of COttenham act.
Pepys, another illustration of the misfOr-
tune! which prOyerblally oyertakes the
wills of great lawyers, came before MIR.
Justice Chitty, in the Chancery Division.
1t will be remembered that
the will of the late Lord St. LeOnards was
never found after his death, nOtwith-
standing that the eX-LOrd Chancellor was
ever pO nting out in the numerous edi-
ti0ns Of his popular legal handbook the
necessity of testatOrs taking special pre-
cautions for the preservation of wills.
The late Lord Westbury, again, took
upon himself to alter the will prepared
for him by one of the greatest and best
known cOnveyancers of his day, namely,
the late Vice-ChancellOr Hail. and such
alterations gave rise to an important and
difficult question on the law of election.
The present action was one having
among its objects that of the administra-
ton Of the will Of the Lord Chancellor,
Lord COttenham. The will was in the
handwriting of his lOrdship, and by it he
authorized his trustees to invest his per-
sonal estate cas- they might think most
beneficial for his family or estate, exclud-
ing all personal securities except in aid
of Others" The question arose whether
this direction authorized the trustees to
retain among the investments certain
shares of a life assurance office, canal
shares, etc. Mr.. Justice Gritty made an
order enabling the trustees to retain all
the shares.
1t is worthy of remark that the late
Master of the Rolls was called upon, dur
ing period Of three or flour years, to
decide upon cases involving the tesla
mentary dispositions Of three Lord Chan
cellOrs.

Extent of the Cars Estate.
London Times.

One may form some idea of the extent
of the possessions belonging to the Rus
sian Emperor, as property Immediately
attached to the crown, when we hear that
the Altai estates alone cover an area of
100000, 600 desjatins, or over 40, 900 square
miles, being about three times the size of
England and Wales. The Nertchinsk es-
tates, in Eastern Siberia, are estimated
at about Is, 900, 900 desatins. In the Altai
estates are situated the gold and silver
mines of Barnaul, PaulOv. SmijOV and
Loktjepp, the copper foundry at SasOum,
and the great iron works at GaYrilOv,
in the Salagiroy district. The re.
ceipts from these enormous estates
are in a ridiculOusly pitiful ratio
to their extent. In the year 1882 thew
amounted to 100000 rubles, or little
more than G95,000; while for 1888 the
revenue was estimated at less than half
this sum, or about 100000 rubles. The
rents, ETC., gave a surplus over expense
of administration of about million and a
half rubles. On the other hand, the work.
ing of the mines showed a deficit of over
million; hence the result just indicated.
A partial explanation of this very unsat-
isfactory state of things is to be found in
the situation of the mines, which are gen.
orally in places quite destitute of wood
while the smelling works were naturally
situated in districts where wood abounds.
sometimes as much as 600 or 700 kilO-
metres distant from the mines. The cost
OF transport of raw materials became
considerable in this way. By degrees all
the wood available in the neighborhoOd of
the smelling works became used up, and
it was necessary to fetch wood from dis
tances of even over 100 kilometres. For
merly the mines were really penal settle
ments, worked by convicts, who were
partly helped by immigrants whose sons
were exempted from military service on
the condition OF working in the mines.
But since the abolition of serfdom this
system has been quite altered, and there
is now a great deal of free labor on the
ordinary conditions.

A Severed Food Passage Healed.

Christopher Bedinger was found with
his throat cut at No. 10 Division street,
New York, on October l, and taken to
Chambers street Hospital. He is now
able to attend to the duties of his trade
that of a cigar-maker-as if nothing had
ever happened. His case was an unusual
one, and it has attracted much attention
because Of its peculiar character. When
taken to the hospital it was found that the
razor with which the cut had been made
had penetrated the fOOd-passage. At first
1t was believed Bedinger could not posi-
bly, live, but the physician having the
case in charge concluded there was a
mere possibility that the patients life
might be saved. A tube was inserted
into the hole in Bedinger's neck through
which nourishment was introduced into
his stomach in the form of milk The
wound was carefully dressed each day.
Gradually the cut healed and at the end
of month the tube was removed. For
more than five weeks after this time the
patient could take only liquid nourish-
ment. Then he was discharged from the
hospital a well man. Bedinger's graft
tude for the benefits received from the
officers Of the hospital has led him to call
at the hospital every week since his dis
charge and express his thanks.

What will Burst a Gun.

Some strangely twisted pieces Of gun
barrels in a window on Chestnut street
exhibit in most interesting fashion the
vagaries Of oyertasked gun barrels. These
specimens are parts of some guns burst
by Capt. Heath of this city during some
protracted experiments with various
weapons. Five of the barrels were burst
because a ball was ''stuck" near the muZ-
Zle in each case, two gave way because
about four inches of snow was put in the
muZzle, two were burst by reason OF hav-
three were ruptured by mud at the muz-
Zle. Sportsmen often scoop up a little
mud or sand unconsciOusly, bang away
at game, and are then astOnished to find
the gun with a ragged and shortened

FACIOLLE's FORTUNE.
The Frenchman in Florida who WOOed
Wealth and Won It

Wealth and Won Tt.
The news somehow got to Jacksonville,
Fla, that Frank Faciolle held a part OF
the ticket which drew the capital prize OF
$4,000 in the February drawing of the
Louisiana State Lottery Company. A
search was set up for him by a reporter,
but he could not be found. Finally some
of his friends were discovered who sus-
pected, although they did not know Of his
good fortune.
Faciolle was carpenter and cabinet
maker, at No. % Pine street. He is AZ
years of age. came from Paris, of which
he is native, to America nine years ago,
and settled in Jacksonville about a year
ago. He learned his trade in France.
He dropped IN on one of his friends the
night before his departure from Jackson
vile, and said he was going away.
"Why are you gOing" asked his friend.
son, business is dull in my line, and /
can get nothing to do"
The mystery of his whereabouts was
solved on Friday, when he turned up in
the Office of the Louisiana State Lottery
Company, at the corner of st. Charles and
Union streets. FaciOlle had in his posses
sion one-fifth of the ticket No. H. 42,
which drew the capital prize of $4,000 at
the drawing on February Il, 1884. He
presented the precious slip of paper, and
1T was Immediately exchanged for a check
on the New Orleans National Bank. 1t
was a noteworthy transformation scene
coming to the Office poor cabinet-maker,
and leaving it comparatively man of
means.
FaciOlle is a single man, and came to
America to better his fortune He lahOred
diligently for years, but did not meet with
much success until some lucky impulse
forced him to invest dollar in a lottery
ticket, which he ordered by correspOn-
dence from NJ. A. Dauphin, New Orleans.
He became aware of being entitled 20 a
share in the $4,000 prize soon after the
drawing, and came here to collect his
money.
FaciOlle says he will continue at his
trade for another year, and will then re-
turn to his sunny home in ola Belle
France to meet his kindred and friends,
who will doubtless be OverjOyed at his
good fOrtune.-Nel0 Orleans La Picd-

WASHINGTON ON FIGURES.
The Letter He Wrote to the Author of
the First American Arithmetic,

The following letter was written by
Washington to Nicholas Pike, of New
burypOrt, Mass, author of the first
arithmetic published in this country:
MOUNT VERNON, June 10th, l7ss.-sR: I
request you will accept my best thanks for
your polite letter of the lst of January
(Which did not get TO my hand till yesterday
and also for the copy Of your System Of
Arithmetic" which you were pleased to pre-
sent to me.
The handsome manner in which that work
is printed and the elegant manner in which it
is bound are pleasing proofs of the progress
which the arts are making in this Country. But
! should do violence to my own feelings if
suppressed an acknowledgment of the belief
that the work itself is calculated to be
equally useful u honorable to the United
States.
1t is but right, however to apprise Won
that, diliident of my own decision, the favour
able opinion l entertain of your performance
founded rather on the explicit n ample
testimonies Of Gentlemen cOnfessedly pos
sessed of great mathematical knowledge, than
on the partial and incompetent attention /
have been able TO pay 1t myself. But / must
be permitted to remark that the ubject. in
my estimation, holds higher rank in the
literary scale than you are disposed to al
low. The science of figures to a certain de-
gree, is not only indlspensably requisite to
every walk of civilized life, but the investi-
cation Of mathematical truths accustoms the
mind to method and correctness in reasoning
and is an employment peculiarly worthy of
rational beings. In a cloudy state Of exist
ence where so many things appear precari-
GUS to the bewildered research, 1t is here that
the rational faculties find firm foundation
to rest upon. From the high ground of Math-
ematical Philosophical demonstration we
are insensibly led to far nObler speculations
