Artemus Wards Will.
Lewiston Journal.


Among the archives in the vault of the Oxford
County Probate Court, at Paris Hill, is a copy
of the will of Artemus Ward. Ward died in
England, of consumption, and his will was made
there. The copy is Inscribed on two heavy
sheets of parchment, about two feet square, in
the most elaborate style of the scrivener's
art. The copyist must have spent many
hours in fashioning the big capital letters of
old English text and the fourishes which deco
rate the instrument The parchment was sent
to the Oxford County Probate Court in heavy
tin box, shaped like a cigar-cas only on a
larger scale, being about nine inches long and
three inches wide. The box is secured by pad
lock, on which are stamped the British coat OF
arms and the letters ~. r." The testament be-
gins This is the will of me- Charles Ferrar
Brown known as 'Artemus Ward" The
testator directs that his body shall be buried in
Waterford Upper Village, but in a codi-
Gil changes the place of his entomb-
ment to Waterford Lower Village. He be-
queaths his library to the best scholar in the
schools at Waterford Upper Village, and his
manuscripts to r. Fl. Stoddard and Charles
Dawson Stanley After making several be-
quests to his mother and relatives. he gives the
balance of his property to found IAN asylum for
worn out printers" Horace Greeley to be the
sole trustee, and his receipt to be the only Sc
curity to be demanded of him. An Oxford
county man, referring to the WILL said: Either
Artemus intended that his will should be post
norton joke or he was robbed; for upon his
death very small property was fonnd-hardly
enough to pay the minor requests, let alone

A Queens Annual Bath.
London Daily News.


A remarkable and interesting ceremony, which
is fully described in the Madagascar Times of
Nov. 26, was performed at Antananarivo on the
21st of that month. 1t was the Fandrvana, or
Festival of the Bath. The ceremonial always
takes place on the Nalagasy new year, which
the Queen fixed to be held on the anniversary Of
her eoronation. Ranavalona III received her prin-
cpal subjects and all the members of the foreign
community-English, American and Norwegian
at the palace. The reception hall was embel-
ished with objects of native workmanship, in
Guiding several handsome silver vases of large
size. The Queen was carried into this hall in a
paanquin borne by four officers and when she
had taken her seat on the throne the choir sang
an English hymn. All the Malagasy present
were dressed in homemade fabrics, which
looked very picturesque. A large earthen jar
filled with hot water having been conveyed to
an adjacent apartment, the Queen retired, and
after her bath she returned ard resumed her
seat. The Malagasy mobiles then fled three at
time, before the throne, after which Mr.. Vice
consul Pickersgill, on behalf of the foreign
community, made a congratulatory speech to
her Majesty. Subsequently the guests were
all served with refreshments, which chiefly con-
sisted Of rice mixed with honey. called ''sosoa.
All present, according to custom, handed the
Queen the ''hasina" or crown fee. The Prime
Minister wound up the proceedings with patri-
otto speech, which excited much enthusiasm
among the natives.

asked to take charge of it, and finally consented.
But his end was near, for in few months he
was stricken with paralysis and after lingering
for some time, died in Cincinnati, in 1858. and
now lies buried in Indianapolis.
In personal appearance DR.. Berry was one eff
the grandest men who ever entered pulpit.
He had large and powerful frame, surmounted
by head to match. A massive forehead spoke
OF the intellect of the man. while the keen,
piercing eyes spoke of the fire of his soul. His
voice was rich, full, and melodious, always
under perfect control 1t was, at times, tremu-
lous with deep pathos, and at other times it
rang out like trumpet His gesticulation was
graceful, and yet full of force There was no
Saving the air" with him, yet the lifting of his
hand toward heaven, as he would paint its glo-
ries, would seem to have the effect of lifting his
audience to its feet. He was an industrious
student, and never left any matter he took hold
of without thoroughly sitting it His
led and his logic irresistible. His
eloquence was Of the strong and massive kind.
1t was like the torrent of Niagara. He did not
delight in strange and startling figures or meta
phors. but few men possessed the power of word
painting in an equal degree Sometimes, when
he would indulge in his wonderful flights his
audience would be stricken with awe, and then
he would melt them to tears by reciting the
great love of the Savior to man. 1t was almost
impossible to resist one of his appeals.
He was great man in every sense of the
word. In any profession he would have been
great. His piety was of that Deep abiding, con-
sistent kind that shed its light all around. Every
one who knew him had faith in him. Every
one believed in him. There was dignity,
a calmness in his bearing that gave the
impression of GOODNESS or hauteur, but it
was only the deep earnestness of the
man, for no one had more loving heart, no one
was more companionable He was a charming
conversational, for his mind was richly stored,
and from its wealth of learning and experience
he was continually extracting gems He special
failed to interest and instruct
He was cut down at the early age of forty
three, just as his powers were ripening. Had he
lived but two years longer he would have reached
the highest honors of his church, for his name
was more prominent than that of any other for
the episcopacy. AT seventeen he was preacher;
at twenty seven, pastor of the most important
church in his conference; at thirty-fou presi-
dent of a great educational institution, and at
forty three martyr to ncessant labor, he en-
tered into his reward w. H. s.

Providing Against Poverty.
Boston Gazette,


There is an artist in this city who, like most
of those of his ilk has his alternate periods of
prosperity and financial depression. but who,
unlike many Others is of unique philosophic
disposition. Whenever he has a streak of good
luck and sells a picture he goes and gets the
money he receives all in 81 bills. These he
rolls up separately and throws about his studio
iLdiscriminately reserving only few dollars
hard up he goes rummaging around behind pict
ures and frames, under chairs and lounges,
among old paint-tubes and other rubbish until
he has found some of the wads of dollar bills
which he had previously sown broadcast He
says that If he kept the money in his pocket he
should be sure to spend it, and that hunting for
and finding it when needs press is like renewed
touch of prosperity. 1t is said that Daubigny,
the great French landscapist, did the same thing,
only he could sow golden louis dor instead Of
dollar-bills.

Torrey, eX-Gov. Horace Fairbanks and
eX-GoY. j. w. Stewart, the committee
appointed by the Bennington Historical
society to advise them in regard to the
Bennington battle monument, have made
report in which they say: That the
proposed monument ought to be massive
and lofty, to comport with the mountains
surrounding the site; durable and ade-
quate, so as to be in harmony with the
great results acknowledged by every
body of the battle of Bennington; plain
and simple, so as to agree in tone and
character with the "embattled farmers"
and artisans who fought that August
fight in their shirtsleeves, and never
thought of scene or fame; and impress
slVe and inspiring, seeking to tell no
story of the battle, but aiming only to
strike home at once to human hearts in
all the coming generations. That they
do strongly and unanimously approve,
both in general outline and in all its main
details, the fine design submitted to the
society, and by the society to them,
marked design No. |" and presented by
j. Pm. Rim, an artist and arch
itect of Boston. They also express the
hope that the society will take proper
and needtul measures to insure full at
tendance of the Monument association
on the 18th of August, in order that the
question of design may be definitely set
tied. Mr.. Rims design is fer ii massive
shaft 300 feet high, to be built of Ben
nington blue limestone. Mr.. Rim is an
artist of strong and original genius and
there is no doubt that his design is a
striking and effective one.

A Story of Grants 3oyhoOd.

A. story of some significance, as an illustration
of the determined character Of General Grant
even in his boyhood, is told by Rev. Thomas H.
Lynch. the venerable preacher. When young
man Mr.. Lynch hired conveyance at Batavia
O., for himself and wife, for trip to Chillicothe
which should be made, it was specially stpu-
lated, in two days time. The boy who was sent
with the team as driver was Ulysses Grant who
was then about fourteen or fifteen years old. He
said little during the trip, but kept his horses in
a steady gait, and allowed no time to be lost A
violent storm came up, and Mr.. Lynch suggested
that it would be advisable to stop at one of tho
farm houses along the road until the journey
could be resumed under more favorable circum-
stances. Grant refused to comply with the
proposition. Mr. Lynch could aot understand
why he should refuse to consent to
a proposition which was as much for his
benefit as any He insisted that the horses
should be stopped, as it was diFicnlt to proceed
through the storm.
II promised that you should reach Chillicotho
within two days, and you SHALL was the answer
of Grant. Finally Mrs Lynch, finding that her
husband could not persuade the boy to STOP
begged him to proceed no further in the storm
You are a lady, and l respect your wishes. +"
said Grant II shall stop for you, but l would
not for him"
