The act of the @.chigan legislature

The act of the l.chigan legislature
providing that man might prove his
will before his death, has been set aside
by the supreme court of that state as
unconstitutional, and the reasons for
the decision, which we have not seen,
are said to be such as seem TO preclude
the possibility that any law can be
framed which would accomplish the
purpose intended. It seems that the
question of the testator's sanity, at
least, at the time of making his will,
could be settled with more certainty
and less liability to mistake during his
life than after his death. But the
court says 1t cannot be done, and that
is the end of it. The court in that case
do not seem to have been guided by the
familiar maxim: 1T is for the public
advantage that there should be an end
pf quarrels:"

Holocaust At Brooklyn.

The list of the years disasters receives an
other addition from Brooklyn, N. Y. An at
tempt to repair a portion of a block
of buildings occupied by manufacturing firms
employing some 500 persons resulted recently
in the collapse of a wall the overturning of
steam boiler, confagration, and the roasting
alive of score or more of human
beings. The buildings were old ones, con-
structed apparently in the fimsiest manner,
and burned with lightning rapidly Some
workmen we're engaged in putting new girder
under the west wall Of Building No. S. To this
end jacks were employed. One had been
weight at all, and, on the fact being discovered,
the foreman ordered the jack in question to be
eased down It was while the men were doing
this that the west wall, unevenly upheld, gave
way and fell with tremendous crash, carry
ing with it about third of the westerly end
ofthe building Almost simultaneously flames
burst forth in this building, being soap works
and a tin factory, where furnaces were freely
used, and the wall, falling upon the extentions
of the dwelling houses on Atlantic street,
crushed them like SO many egg shells, the cook
ing stoves scattering their burning coal among
the debris, starting the flames among the ten
ements.

Gen. Grants Improvement Deceptive.

Gen. Grants Improvement Deceptive.
DR.: Shrady, in the Medical Record of May 8;
says of the condition of Gen. Grant: 'sDuring
the past week Gen. Grants bodily health has
much improved. His appetite is better and his
swallowing is not attended with much pain.
Locally his disease shows slight tendency to
progress. The sloughy exudation has disap-
peared, exposing exuberant granulations in lts
place. This condition still involves the right
and posterior parts of the pharynx, the right
tonsilar region and the right side of the base
of the tongue The palatlal curtian is still con-
siderably infltratee, although all signs of
acute infammatory trouble have disap-
peared At the base of the urula a small
fungoid excresence has developed, which is
extending. On the free margin of the palatal
curtain, midway between the urula and right
tonsilar region, similar growth of very small
size has also appeared The liberation at tn e
base Of the right anterior faucal pillar, and
alongside Of the tongue, present wormeaten
surface, indicating an extension of the destruc-
tive process. The enlarged glands under and
around the right angle of the lower jaw are
somewhat harder and quite firmly fixed:
There Is, however, less pain in tho deceased
parts than formerly. The patient obtains a
full nights sleep with minimum amount of
morphine, and awakes in the morning feeling
much refreshed Despite the favorable gener-
al condition, there have been unfortunately no
changes in the local disease to warrant any
modification of the original diagnosis by the
members of the medical staff.

: In concluding long analysis Of the state
debt of Minnesots, Bradstreet says:
On the estimate of population Of LOCO, 600
for Minnesota lit was 760,T73 by the last CEN
sus) the total taxation per capita is ~ 49j the
tax for state purposes exclusively i, so cents
per capita The appropriations made by the
legislature for the next two years aggregate
$l.311 $50 for 1886, and 81, ,A2, 7O5 for 1887.
The principal items of these are $76, ,920 for
salaries of state officers, $4,000 for salaries of
judges, $1OO, 600 for interests on adjustment
bonds, q little under and q little over $500, 900
for the two years respectively in support Of
state institutions, and $216, 800 and $@,5oo for
new buildings. The revenues for the same
two years are estimated at 81 ,363, 500 and $1,-
2l3, 500 respectively. From a ~ mill rate it is
expected to derive $60o. .OO0 OF general taxes in
1886, and from mill rate $4,000 in 1887.
The railway companies Will pay into the
treasury 9650;OOO to 100000 each year.
The insurance companies will give $780,
COO more, while theeafnings of the prison an!
der contrsct will supply $Sl 200 more. It will
appear from this summary that the ondy prob.
lem before Minnesota legislators is to:ft tcurrent
annual expenditure to annual revenue as near
ly as possible. There is no debt and no interest
charge that is not already provided for; nor is
the state likely, in view of past experience, to
undertake any new obligations for some time
to come. The joint effect Of this policy and
of the railway bond adjustments feltin the ex-
cellent condition of the states credit and finance
