A Lesson For Young Widows.

One of the most attractive young
widows in New York society has re-
fused half dozen offers since the death
of her husband, out of deference, it is
presumed, to the wishes Of his father,
who has allowed her an income of four
thousand dollars a year and maintained
an equiptage for her. The other day
the old gentleman quilted this mundane
sphere, and when his will was opened
it was found that he had not mentioned
her, having divided his property be-
tween his widow and his brothers. The
daughter in-law was cut to the quick at
being ignored, and, when the dowager
widow wrote to her that she would con
tinue the allowance herself, answered
that she must decline to accept it, add
ing that her own parents had more than
made good the loss. 1t is general Y
felt that the old gentleman acted in ex-
serable taste in thus repaying his
daughter in-law's deVotion-he mani
tested the greatest liking for her up to
within day of his death, but it is, none
the less, a lesson to all widowed daugh-
ters-in-law not to wait for dead mems
shoes, but to seize the passing moment
and marry when they may. Fortunate
ly, the lady in question, like Volante in
Honeymoon, has not hung SO long
upon the parent stem that she may not
still be worth millionaire's attention.

CHINA wEAKENs.
She Is Anxious to Make Term
with France.

WIN = AanCC.
PARIS. Sept. l2.-Tsung Ii Yamen In
replying to the general ultimatum Of
July IA announces that, in accordance
with the second article of the Using Tsin
provisional treaty, China is prepared to
withdraw Its garrison from Tonquin after
the expiration OF month, and that as
China respected the terms OF the second
article France, they say, ought
to respect the third article. The
French demand fer indemnity,
they claim is not in accordance
with the five articles of that treaty, is in
prejudice Of their friendly relations aud
contrary to international laws. Tsung
Ii Yamen asks II the government OF
France cannot wait until China with.
draws her troops from Tonquin, when a
complete treaty will be arranged. They
also aver that II the question Of indem-
nifty Is not considered as being
settled by tho Tien Tsin treaty,
demand for indemnify is op-
posed to the third article. n is la
mentable that arrangements for making
a proper treaty should be delayed by q
demand for indemnity. The forcible
taking Of guaranty and indemnity is con.
trary to the treaty and compsls China to
give treaty powers. The history Of the
Tonquin question, together with the pro
test Of China is prepared and the latter
government awaits an opportunity to
discuss the question. Tsun Ii Yamen
requests that Patenotre, the French Am
bassador, shall come to Tsien Tsin to ar
range matters.
