A Noted VIII Case Decided.

THE LATE Ex-ooSoREssxAS SMITHS TWO
WIVES.
The Mount Holly, N. j., jury, in the Smith
viii case, yesterday afternoon decided in favor
Of the plaintiff, Mrs. Eveline B. Smith, of
Woodstock, Vt, who brought suit to recover her
dover in the property Of the late ex-Congress-
man Hezekiah B. Smith, formerly prominent
public man, and also to establish the legitimacy
Of her three children. one son, Elton Smith, a
wealthy merchant Of Savannah, Ga; another
son, Eugene Smith, Vermont farmer, and the
third child, q married daughter. Mr.. Smith
died in 1887, leaving his entire estate, valued
at several hundred thousand dollars, TO be de-
voted 10 the establishment Of school for the
education Of young men in the mechanical
arts. Mr.. Smith, after marrying the plaintifI
in Boston in 1876 and living with her In various
places in the east, finally deserted her and
came TO Mount Holly. where he became very
wealthy. In 1859 he contracted second mar
riage with Miss Gilkerson, Of Lowell, Mass.
The second wife died in 1885, and the claims Of
the first wife TO recognition have been opposed
by relatives Of the second wife.

As for pens, will mankind ever invent
an endurable peni The quill makes a
dreadful noise, % Dora found when she
tried to keep accounts in the presence Of
David Copperfeld. Indeed the advent
ures Of Dora with her pens are only those
Of less feather headed scribes. The quill
splutters O small shower Of ink, O murky
drizzle, over the fingers, as over the lace
ruffies that Button wore when he wrote.
The descending drizzle dots 100 is where
no should be, nor indeed is, and per-
plexes printers. Meanwhile the steel pen
begins as badly as lame cab horse, and
rusts readily. After an hours work the
wretched instrument needs to be taken
twice over every stroke, otherwise it does
not mark at all. One Of its legs becomes
shorter than the other.
Paper is the only thing that has made
an advance on birch bark, sheets of lead,
potsherds and parchment; nor can paper
bear comparison with the vellum of the
past. A kind Of ''pad," otherwise useful,
has become hairy, and the hairs cling to
the pen. No fountain pen has yet proved
successful. You have to blow down
them, to thump them, to humor them in
dozen ways, and they explode in your
pocket and flood you with ink. The
wonder is that when writing is SO difficult
so much is written. Nature may wisely
desire to handicap authors. But 1t is the
business of Science to thwart nature and
to invent and perfect tout ce quill fault
