Ky is in Denver, Col, consulting with his attor-
ney who is perfecting claims OF heirs to the Bran
denburg estate, near Berlin, Germany, valued at
over 5000 600. Mr.. Bell says all the heirs to
this es e live IN America, and number nearly
100. The history of the case dates back to 14OO
when discussions arose in the royal house OF Hob
enzelern. One of the descendants was Solomon
Brandenburg, whose estate was confscsted in
100. Matthss Brandenburg, the heir of Solo.
mon, came to America and settled in Winchester,
Va. where he died in 1897, leaving a family OF
twelve children, one of whom was the grandiath-
er of MI Bell. Matthias told his family of the
estate in Germany, and in 1864 an advertisement
appeared in American papers and German papers
inquirng the whereabouts of the heirs of Solo
mon Rrandenburg, the estates having previously
been restored The castle on tn estate is said to
be one of the facst in Germany.

members of their families and other friends,
went to the country last Sunday to spend
the day with their friend, Mr.. Isaac Boyer,
at "Snowden," once the beautiful home of
John A. Seddon, of Stafford. The entire
party bad narrow escape from death by
lightning. They were all seated under q
large honeypod tree, enjoying themselves.
when some one suggested, that as storm
WAS approaching, they had better retire to
the house. Scarcely had they left the tree
when bolt of lightning struck it, scattering

GLADsToNE's LlBRARY.-Mr. Gladstone's
study at Hawarden Castle is rather curious
ly arranged. The walls are covered with
books, and volumes are also masked in large
shelves jutting out from the walls into the
room. Between each partition Of books there
is room to walk: thus the saving ofspace IN
arranging the library in this manner is enor'
nous. The stock ofbooks, perhaps, exceeds
10, 600 volumes, and Notwithstanding :hls
large number Mr. Gladstone has little dItii-
Guilty in placing his hand upon any volume
that he may require. There are three writ
ing desks in the room one is chiefly reserv-
ed for correspondence of political nature
aud another is used by Mrs. Gladstone.
Looking out of the study window the flower
beds facing the castle present picturesque
appearance, while the heavily wooded
grounds beyond stand out in bold relief and
form massive green bsckground.-Pat

A careful analysis of these figures will go far toward convincing the careful and frugal husbandman of the desirability of the state as a place of residence. That portion of the state along the Iron Mountain railroad, par ticularly the counties of Hot Spring, Saline, Pulaski, Lonoke, White and Jackson, constitute veritable fruit garden. That territory is in close connection with the great cities of the north, and from it the great popula- tions of Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver and Omaha obtain their first strawberries. The great northern prairie region affords an unlimited market for Arkansas fruits. The re- zion named supplies peaches and ber- ries particularly, while northwest Arkansas supplies apples unexcelled by any other territory.
 The springs of the state are unusu. ally health giving, and have attracted a great deal ofattention and investiga- ton. Besides Hot Springs and Eureka Springs, there h the celebrated Nam moth Spring, probably the largest in the world making . biz river at it's source. There arc also tho Mountain Valley Spring., White Sulphur, Arm strong, GriMn, Blanchard, Ravenden, Sugar Loaf and Biswell. The Mam- moth spring referred to above has an output of 64 900 barrsls per hour, and tts power is su1lcient to run all the Inaohinsry in Arhnaas and Tennessee combined.
