SOME QUEER WILLS.
A South Carolina Man Convicted of
 Murder Remembers the Jury.

A South Carolina Man Convicted of
 Murder Remembers the Jury.
 From the Charleston News and Courier.I
 In overhauling some of the old books in the records of the Probate court, Judge Glea- son has come across some queer documents. Here are some of them:
 A man, who has been dead so long that he shall be nameless, was hanged ia Charleston for murder. He protested his innocence to the last, and the day before his execution made will leaving his personal property, valued at $439 in money and silver watch and chain, to his relative. The last clause of the will is as follows:
 ''As I am to be hung to morrow for the murder of ---, of which crime I am innocent, and firmly believing that I was found guilty by packed jury, I bequeath to this jury eternal damnation, and in order that their names may be known to posterity herein insert their names, -, fore man, eleven others. I order and direct that my executor hereinafter named shall deliver nay body to the medical students of Charles ton. S. O., and they are requested to have my bones properly cleaned, my skeleton properly mounted, SO that it will pass down as proof of the bribery and corrup- tiou used in the conviction of an innocent man."
 Another man, long since deceased, and who was evidently a wealthy Frenchman, after dispesine of his estate, provides for an erring daughter as follows:
 s'It is to me great cause of modification and regret to mention the name of Clotilde, my daughter, now 23 years old. To protect this instrument bequeath to her one barley corn. I pray she will repent and prepare for the Lords forpiyeuessn D
 Another man, who was a widower and had an only daughter, who seems to have been the cause of much trouble to her father, disposes of his estate and gives to his daughter 'tMy blood horse, Jim, feeling satisfied that if she will either ride or drive him, it is likely she will be brought home corpse, in which satisfactory event then let the horse be sold and the proceeds given to ! the poor."

The boys, when they are through, will know how to use tools and un- derstand t'the groundwork of any trade they may select," while the girls will know how to sew, cook, and may choose telegraphy, type writing, photography or other bread-winning instruction.

A GREAT GERMAN SCHEME.

The plan which has been formed in Ger many to provide for leach soldier in the great army of labor, is case of disability or old age, stipend for his support, from 8 public fund" is soon to be brought up in the Reichstag. The debate and it's result will be very interesting and important.
 In the last number of the Independent Dr. John M. Gregory gives full account of the plan. The pension fund is to be provided from three sources: One-third to come from the imperial treasury; one-third to be col lected from the employers of labor-the great manufacturers and other business men, and the remaining one third will be taken from the wages of the laborers themselves-a small, forced contribution proportioned to the weekly wage. For the purpose of determin- ing the contributions and pensions the labor CTS are to be divided into five classes, accord ing to the daily or yearly wages. Laborers of the several classes are to pay respectively three, four, five, six and seven cents a week to the pension fund; women, two-thirds of these sums. The pensions are to be twenty four hundredths, or nearly one-fourth of the wages, for men; for women, only two-thirds of the amounts paid to men.
 It is claimed that the law will reach and affect 2,000, ,000 of work people. It is to be applicable: First, to all lanorers, assistants, journeymen, apprentices and servants who
 work for wages or pay; second, to persons
 employed in the work of the government, on
 the government railroads and in the post and
 telegraph service, whose pay does not exceed 2, ,000 marks a year; as also to persons ems ployed in trading establishments as clerks, porters, assistants or apprentices; third, to sailors and employees on German steamers and in transportation lines. Persons who
 render merely personal services, professional and other, to different employers are not to be reckoned as laborers within the meaning of this law.
 The law does not attempt impossibilities. It does not promise to begin at once the pay ment of pensions to the classes described Before the old-age pension can be claimed the claimant must have paid his contribu' tions thirty years; and the invalid pensionel must have contributed five years. A pension of half the amount my be awarded by the State commissioners, in special eases, to those who have paid the required contribution fol at least one year.
 It would hardly be supposed that the Ger man socialists would object to this scheme, which has their idea for It's foundation, but they do. They probably feel bound to object
 to anything favored by Bismarck.

 Dr. David D. Stewart declares in the Medi- cal News of Philadelphia, that hundreds of people are annually sent to their graves by chrome yellow in pastery. Two years ago a number of people in Philadelphia were pois- oned in this way; but it was thought that since then the bakers had stopped using chrome yellow. It seems, however, that they have not, and Dr. Stewart says that many people who are supposed to die of other diseases are really poisoned by eating pastry colored by this substance.
 The Oviedo (Florida) Chronicle, says that firm there are about to engage in a novel enterprise in connection with their vegetable garden. They are taking glass bottles and traiaing cucumber vines, when they are ready to bloom, to grow cuoumbers inside of the bottles, so that when the vegetable is full grown it will be much larger than the neck of the bottle. They will then take and pickle them, and will have the surprising thing of having piekled cucumbers in bottles with necks much smaller than the pickles. Belgium still maintains the distinction of
 being the most drunken country in Europe. On an average each man, woman and child consumes yearly 240 quarts of beer and 13 quarts of spirits. The government is at last aroused to sense of the evils of the situ- ton, and some restrictive laws are to be put ! in force.

Speaking of railroad wages in India,
l find that section men work here for
from three to five cents day, and
that the roads can get all the men
they want at these prices. Engineers
work on time and distance, and they
are about the highest paid of the rail
road employees. They get about $40
month while running regularly, but
they can increase this by extra run
ming to SIS and 800 n month. The
Indian railways have no conductors
in our sense of the word. The tickets
are collected and examined by men at
the various stations, and the guard
who manages the trains in other re-
spects has nothing to do with the
tickets. Such guards get about s25 a
month, and on the smaller railroads
they receive from 81 TO s20a a month.
The most of the, guards are natives or
half breeds, while majority of the
engineers are English. l don't think
the English engineers are as well post

1t is hard TO understand how Dick
ems put up with Forster. Tho great
novelist was good man of business,
even before he came In for the incsti-
mable privilege of Forster's guidance;
but after the "h'arbltrary' person
took him in charge he was always
treated as a more or less helpless in
FAINT, and ho accepted, the situation
with a comical patience that was all
his own.
Forster interfered in Dickens lit
erary affairs, in his monetary af
fairs, in his business affairs, In
the minutest Of his social affairs
and, most OF all, in his family
affairs. How the incubus was en-
dured none can tell. Sometimes
Dickens objected, and told his men
tor some salutary truths; there then
enslod a quarrcf of some duration.
and good deal OF verbal sparFing by
no means light in character; but Ia
the cnd Dickens real esteem for his
bearish friends sterling character al
ways caused him TO relapse into
amused tolerance.
One example Of Forster's colossal
capacity for meddling would bo rock
oned as incredible, had not so many
people been present when the "h'arbi
trary" philosopher made an exhibition
of himself. At somewhat large din
ner party Dickens happened to mon
ton that he had five children. Tho
meddler could not miss the chance,
so he shouted:
mo, you have not You know you
are wrong by one. You have only
four living"
This tremendous piece Of impudenco
was doubtless uttered with purpose;
IL meant:
"You may think that there arc some
matters which you can decide with
out my assistance but / assure you
that you are quite wrong"
Dickens smiled and said, mildly;
My dear Forster, you must really
allow me TO know something on thu
point"
We should think so and wo should
have thought that the polite 0stonish.
ment Of the assembled guests might
havo curbed the exubcrance Of the IN
effable moddler; but he seems 10 havo
gone OH gayly 20 tho bitter end, and
he closed the proceedings by writing a
biography Of Dickens which may ho
better described as "The AptobIogra-

dlors wish TO thrust himself forward
