COntesting a VIII.

a
The will of Lucy Huntley, late of
West Burke, aged 83, presented for
probate recently, was contested by
some of her relatives and the case was
heard before Judge Smith Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week. 1t seems
that Lucy Huntley made will some
time ago giving her entire property to
A. L. Aldrich in consideration of sup
port during the remainder of her life.
Her friends, dissatisfied with this ac-
tion and aintaining that she was not
competent to make a will, demanded
that a guardian be appointed which
was done. A settlement was effected
and a new trade made with Mr.. AL
drich who continued to care for her
until her decease. After her death her
will was entered for probate which her
relatives contested, and which Judge
Smith, after hearing the case, refused
to probate. 1t is understood that an
other will is in existence.

Fred Douglas Estimate of
Gladstone,
Address in Washington.

Address in Washington.
wanted much to see this famous
statesman and orator while in Lon.
don. 1t has been my good fortune to
hear many OF the best speakers i'll
this country and IN England have
heard Webster, Everett. Sumner, Phil
lips, and all other great American or.
ators, living or dead. l have also
heard Sir Robert Peel, Richard Cob
den. George Thompson, John Bright,
Lord Brousham, O'Cohnell, and 9th.
er great speakers in England. and
felt it would be something to hear the
peer OF any OF the greatest of them.
Well, the opportunity was afforded
most favorable conditions. 1t WIS on
the occasion OF his motion in pnrla-
ment to reject the famous or infamous
coercion bill. For weeks the bill had
been debated and Mr. Gladstone had
borne his full share in that debate,
and was curious to know what he
could say further. The tide of public
opinion was strong against him, and
the passage OF the bill was already as.
sured. The press OF the country, for
the most part. had kept up u steady
fire uDon him, loading him with re-
proaches OF the bitterest kind. The
house was crowded and all eyes were
turned upon him when he rose to
make his lastgreaJ effort to defeat this
force bill for Ireland, which he knew
could not be defeated; but Mr.. Glad
stone had IL duty to perform. and he
performed it admirably. The first
glance at his face impressed me. There
was II singular blending OF qualities
in 1.-THE lamb and the lion were
there; dauntless as II veteran soldier
and yet as meek as IL saint. His
speech was one OF the grandest l ever
heard, and was listened to with the
proioundest silence by the whole
house. My expectations were high
very hisl-but Ill some respects they
were exceeded. For one hour and q
half. without pause, and without once
hesltatins for q word. lie poured out
a stream OF eloquence. learning and
argument which sccmedto me irresist.
able. When he sat down the govern.
ment benches, as we'll us the opposi.
sition benches, were Immediately
emptied. and poor Mr. Baliour, the
secretary for Ireland, was left almost
without an audience.

"Thank you." said Alice, looking at
the bundle in amazement.
After the man was gone she hung
over it and could hardly witt until
the hour was up. When it was she
opened the package with trembling
fingers. There were-all their own sill.
vessspoons. There was no doubt about
it; there was her mothers monogram
on every one. She studied them over
and over and then turned and looked
at the spoonholler on the si,le board.
1t was empty.

II am not sure but the bread and
butter and honey with good little
heart to set it on was the very best :,
kind OF q watch dog that she could
have had," said he.
