HACKMEN FIND A FRIEND.
A Farmer Worth $4,000 Be

A Farmer Worth $4,000 Be-
queaths 1t All to Found q Home
for Them.
st. Louis Republic.
Among the wills recently admitted to
record by Judge Myers, of the Hancock
county probate court, in Findlay, O.,
was the testament of A. b. Arthur, an
eccentric farmer of Marion township,
who departed this life some time in
June, and left behind him an estate
valued at about $4,000. Arthur had
never married, and his nearest of
kin living are number of nephews and
nieces, who naturally expected that his
earthly accumulatiOnS would be divided
among them in an equitable manner by
their wealthy uncle when he made his
will.
But after his death, when this impor-
tant document was made public, none
were more aStoniShed than the eXpec-
tant heirs when it was found that the
old gentleman had devised and set aside
his entire possessions to be sold by his
executors, and the proceeds invested in
the building and maintenance OF
''Home for INDECENT Hackmen." the in
stitution to be erected on ground which
he designated in Marion township, re-
mote from even village, much less
city. In fact, the spot selected for the
Home" is seventeen miles from Find
lay, in an open field, surrounded On all
sides by large farms.
Here he directed that building capa-
able of accommodating at one time fifty
and furnished, and appointed his eXecu-

and to keep up the establishment at an
annual expense of $4,000, or until all his
funds were exhausted, by which time
he INDUCED the hope other requests
will be made by parties in sympathy
with his ideas to carry out the freak to
which he so freely donated his wealth.
What adds to the queerness of this
last will and testament" Is the fact
that there are not a half-dozen hackmen
in the county who are ever likely to
need such a "home;" and none in
the township in which Arthur
who had always been farmer
lived and died. Besides all this, if
such home was provided its proposed
location is SO remote from the natural
haunts of hackmen that one would have
to be in pretty bad shape financially,
physically and mentally if he accepted
the hospitality Mr.. Arthur so generously
provides for in his will. 1t is hardly
necessary to add that the relatives of
the dead friend of the hackmen have al
ready commenced proceedings in the
court of common pleas of this county to
have the will set aside, on the ground
that the old man was not in his right
mind when he executed the document,
and the case will come up for hearing
at the September term of the court in
this city.

correct misapprehensions resulting
from apparently artistic and persistent
misrepresentation. 1t is mentioned in
the American newspapers, and not, |
think, in those of England, that the
queens health is precarious; that she
has recently become a great sufferer
from sciatica and lumbago, affecting
her especially in the hours when
she has been accustomed to sleep,
and that the result is insomnia
and serious loss OF strength.
Notwithstanding her enfeebled condi-
ton she invited, or as they say sum-
mOned, the American minister and his
to dine with her at Windsor, and stay all
night at the castle, and those who knew
of her illness regarded the extension of
this civility with some surprise. She
is, however, well known to entertain a
kindly feeling towards the American
people and to have respectful recolec-
ton of President Lincoln and sympathy
with his family; and it is fact that the
son of President Lincoln has been re-
ceived with the greatest consideration
by all classes of people in England, and
it is understood that the queen, in in
viting President Harrison's son to dine
with her, was really extending
civility to the president him
self. and thereby showing her good
feeling for the American people. Moth

Mrs. Lincoln and Russell Harrison to
the Queen at Windsor. They wore, of
course, dress suits, as they would if
they were invited to state dinner at
the White house, and all that is said
about MIR. Harris0n's solicitude about
proper apparel is purely gratuitous and
silly gossip. 1t was the purpose of Mr..
Harrison in going to London to give at
tention to some business affairs that
concern him, but the unexpected civil
tiles shown him by the queen and pre-
mier as the president'ss son, according to
English etiquette, prohibited him from
presenting himself in London as bust
ness man; and he has been intelligent
and careful in observing the proprieties.

FIRST LOVE.

How does woman lover Once, no more,
Though life forever its loss deplore;
Deep in sorrow or deep in sin,
One king reigneth her heart within.
One alone, by night and day,
Moves her spirit to curse or pray.
One voice only can call her soul
Back from the grasp of deaths control;
Though lovers beset her, or friends deride,
Yea, when she smileth another mans bride,
Still for her master her life makes moan
Once is forever and once alone.
How does man love? Once for all.
The sweetest voices of life may call,
Sorrow daunt him, or death dismay,
joys red roses bedeck his way;
Fortune smile. or jest or frown,
The cruel thumb of the world turn down,
Loss betray him, or love delight,
Through storm or sunshine, by day or night
Wandering, toiling, asleep, awake,
Though souls may madden, or weak hearth
break,
Better than wife, or child, OF pelf,
Once and forever, he loves-himself

UNCONVENTIONAL STRENGTH

DENOM1N ~ IlON AL SIh INV H.
The annual statement, published by
the New York Independent, of the
numerical strength OF the various re-
Ii gious bodies of the country does not
warrant any theories of religious de-
cadence, SO far as church membership
is an index. The communicates of the
seven leading religious sects aggregate
about 100000, which Is probably
abouta half of the persons over eighteen
years of age. There are many church
members under eighteen. but they are
offset by the numerous small denomina-
lions not included III the figures. The
Methodists lead in churches and men,
bers, the Catholics second in members
and the Baptists third in strength, with
more preachers than either of the others.
The increase of members the past year
Is given as SS7, 900, which is we'll up in
proportion to the population. 1t is
probable that third of those who at
tend churches or are active supporters
of them are non-members. 1t would
seem to follow then that the churches
are easily dominant in influence, or can
be by virtue of their strength.

sumption of authority not contemplated
in the election of the convention, and
will assuredly provoke bitter opposi-
ton. There are always some weights
in an instrument of that kind, and if
this fatally adds to them, 1t will prove
to be unwise. Voting down the consti-
tuition means delay of some little time
to admission, and no doubt the conven-
ton assumes that the eagerness for
statehood will override objections to the
constitution. This is doubtful, but the
places that get the plums may be strong
enough to OutYOte the others.

city was the interpreter, Mr.. Piazza.
She became interested in the dragoman,
who was the son of an Intalian mission
airy, and after a few interviews with
him sent him to st. Thomas to assist
her brother in the management of the
cornmeal mill, in which she had $4,000
or $1,000 invested. Miss Fuggle re-
turned to ST. Thomas about two months
since. The milling business was dull,
and Mr.. Piazza, finding that the man
agement did not require the attention
of both Mr.. Fuggle and himself, made
preparations to return TO the Holy
Land.
The little god of love had, however.
been busy with his heart, and when the
thought of leaving entered his mind he
determined to declare himself to Miss
Fuggle. and ascertain if his affection
was reciprOcated. He did so, found
that with his inamorata, as in his own
experience, it had been case of love at
first sight. They intend either resid-
ing in st. Thomas or returning to Naz-
areth to devote their lives to the mis-
sionary cause. Should they decide upon
the latter, they will be Sef-supporting.
