1t IS not probable that the wilt recently re-
celved by mail by Hon. Jefferson Davis Will
take the administration of Gen. William NJ q.
Brownies estate out OF Judge HOwei Cobb's
hands. Judge j mes Jacksnn. who Is named
IN the instrument rs Mr.. DaVl-' assistant in
carrying out Its directions, has already written
TO the eX-President his Willingness To decline
the trust II he would also decline. The dis
cOvery Of the paper is a deep mystery. The
will was made in Memph in 1878, while Gen.
Browne WAS there, and its prime object was
To provide a suitable hHrying place for the
Generals wife. ~ that time Gen. Browne
was IN Memphis assisting MIR Davis with his
book. There was n very strong attachment
existing betN cen the two men, Gen. Browne
having been one Of Nj. DAVIS aides during
the war. After making the Will Gen Browne
changed his mind about the burial p ace OF
his wife. and her remains we're, on her death,
placed in a vault at Athens, AS was stated,
no Will Of Gen. Browne could be found on his
death, aud tn estate, which was small, has
been ab0ut administered on. The will WAS
sent to Mr.. Davis with no explanation what
ever as % where lt ca ne from. There 10 no
doubt of its genuineuess.
