A curious case with regard to the sale
Of family heirlooms was decided by the
court Of appeal. Under his fathers will
the present Earl Of Radnor IL entitled "a
tenant for life to considerable estates In
Wiltshire and elsewhere. To these are
attached the valuable collection OF pict-
ures. some three hundred in number. at
Longford castle, near Salisbury. Upon
his death the whole will devolve upon
his eldest son, Lord Folkestone, but
still only for life interest, and then.
In the event of the direct line failing,

der these circumstances he and his father
have cast envious eyes on the family

greatly missed, even if they be Hol-

price that can-be got is e55.O00
OF course the dead earl never meant
anything like this to happen when he
tied up the pictures with the land as
strictly as the law would allow him, but
in these latter days the law has exhibited
tendency-slow indeed. but still a
tendency-to become revolutionary. The
tenant for life can sell the land without
asking any ones leave. though of course
he cannot pocket the money. And as to
the heirlooms, he can turn those, too.
into sum of money bearing investment,
provided only he can get the sanction OF
a judge. In the present case the earl
and his son easily convinced Mr., Justice
Chitty of the propriety of the sale, but
the trustee, Lord Penzance, and other
members of the family opposed their de
signs and carried their opposition to the
court Of appeal.
This course has done them no good,
but it has enabled Lord Esher to give
one of his characteristic judgments, and
some interesting "reminiscences of his
early acquaintance with the aristocracy
Of these realms. Pictures are all very
well, but it is not to be thought of that
youth, whose father owns castle, and
whose grandfather died in debt, should
demean himself by marrying on eight
hundred "a year, besides what he could
make by honest labor. The distinct
heirs, indeed, will lose their chance OF
ever succeeding to the Holbein and its
companions, but this is matter of senti-
ment to be postponed to practical every.
day considerations, and they will at any
rate know that the price is locked up in
some safe investment. The interest or
e55,000 is not to be despised. Happy the
family with such resource in cases Of
emergency.-London News

knowledge Of good and evil, should they
chance TO come across them.
But indeed the making of good reso-
lutions has always been so easy that one
marvels why any day in especial should
ever have been set apart for the purpose
Yet the fact is that almost every one
likes TO postpone the time of relinquish-

the week after. because that person who
is going to be good next week or the
week after is another individual, the
person of that time another person, not
ones self. not the person of this time.
1t is so difficult to say, Now, now, now
is the time to leave off! because the per-
son whom "now" addresses is ones self,
and experiences the whole bitterness Of
the remuneration. And for this reason
we may observe that usually the time
for carrying the good resolve into effect
is seldom this moment or this day, but
is always among the to-morrows; and
thus uncounted good resolutions are made
in any part of the last year, the time
for their budding into action being
always left for the first day of the new
year.
1t would seem, then, that tins first day
of the new year is really a sort of sacri-
fetal day, and while we never celebrate
it with external ceremonial as a day Of
sacredness, as we do many other holt
days, it is in very truth a day of sacred
ness in the effect that it has upon us as a
means Of grace, let us say, since there is

A NATIONAL CONSERVATORY.


Mrs. Thurber's plan for the estab-
hshment of national conservatory of
music here at the Capital, in commem-
Grafton of the quadri-centennial of
the discovery of America is one
which will commend itself to the best
thought and hope of the citizens of
Washington. The suggestion is in
every way admirable, and is eminently
worthy of the accomplished lady, who
has already done so much to place
musical culture in America upon per
manent basis. That Mrs. Thurber has
recognized the suitability of Washing
ton for such an institution is creditablc
TO her judgment.
There exist here in a degree which
cannot be paralleled elsewhere in pro-
portion TO the population, elements of
musical capabiliiy of high order
First and foremost, there is that ad-
mirable composer, musician and leader,
John =. Sousa, with his splendidly
trained and unique organization, the
Marine Band. There are choral and
other musical societies existing here in
considerable number and variety.
Among these there are musicians of note
from almost all European centres. These
are in many instances virtuosi whose
attainments and skill can be made
readily available for the purposes of
musical cultivation and progress. IT,
therefore, the necessary preparations in
the way of building accommodations
can be made, Mrs. Thurbers scheme
has otherwise fair prospect of success.
All our citizens will agree with Mrs
Thurber, that il reflects no credit on a
country that is blest with prosperity
and wealth, and that prides itself on the
universally of It's education, that it
should be behind nearly every nation
in Europe, in the attention which ii
gives TO the promotion Of the fine arts,
1t is accordingly high time that in this
second century of the Republic the
leading American city should take
its proper place in the recognition of
those branches of knowledge, study
and skill, which contribute to the re-
finement and dignity Of human life. 1t
is to attain this end that Mrs. Thurber
is ready to appeal to the appreciative
generosity of the wealthy citizens of
Washington and of the nation. She
wants $1,00O,O00 With that sum a
great building can be erected and a
large hall obtained-such a hall as
would be adequate for great orchestral
and choral effects.
The money should be forthcoming.
The institution proposed is in the true
line of national progress. 1t stands re-
lated to the growth in culture and re-
fnement of our whole people. 1t would
be fitting establishment to find its
origin in the year of the Columbus cele.

Mrs. Thurber's admirable proposition
will have the largest measure of success

A schooner Cuts Cash In the Big
Marine Animal.


From the baltimore american.
Captain John G.. Crossley of the
thrce .mas,ed schooner Edward F. Mans
field. which arrived Saturday from
Charleston, had a rough experience off
Hatteras with large school of whales
on Tuesday, the 9Th instant. The
schooner bad q narrow escape from
going to the bottom by being In col
lision with one Of the monsters. Cap
tain Crossley, who is familiarly known
among the shipping men as "Houest
John" saws he never wants to have
like experience.
On the morning of the Sth the
schooner was bowling along under a
strong breeze from the southwest, when
the mate sung out that there was school
of whales short distance off. They
were hendiug TO the eastward, about
thirty miles north of Cape Hatteras.
There were about thirty In the lot some
large and some small, and they were
frisking about In the water as If enjoy
ing the line weather. The vessel was
making about ten knots, when about 9
D. m. there was sudden thud and a
rattling Of chains forward and the
Schooner lurched bit. There were a
series of heavy thumps along the keel
of the vessel, and, looking astern, Cap
tain Crossley was surprised to see the
body of large whale coming up from
under the rudder, rolling over and over.
lie was hard hit, and the water for
yards around was red with the whale s
life blood.
The whale remained quiet until about
200 yards astern of the ship, and, like
the lines in "Olvette," he began "a
lashiDg of his tall" A great cash in
his left side showed the cause of his
anger, and the blood was pouring out
by the bucketfuls, tingeing the ocean
all around. He lashed and beat the
water with his tail until all around him
was mass of red foam. At times he
rose half out of the water, and his tai
was fully ten feet out. The schooner
was making good time, and the monster
was soon lost sight of. The vessel was
not damaged at all, but the shock oI
the collision was very great. Captain
Crossley said he had mind to take the
whale in tow and bring him to this
city, and try him out for the sake o.
the oil. The whale was about seventy
five feet long, and would have yielded
about sixty barrels.

A REL1GIoN IMpoRTEp.

New mental or spiritual phenomena
will always have interest for thought
full people and among recent phenomena
of this sort few have greater claims to
attention than the new faith which,
brought hither from India, seeks rec
egnition in America. The adherents
of this new faith do not thus far
number over 1000 persons. But
what they lack in numbers they make
up in distinction and character. That
they are no dreamy sentimentalists, is
shown by the fact that practical men
like Thomas A. Edison, and scientists
like Professor Coues, are members of
the organization.
II e fundamental belief of this old
but revived faith is that of the Universal
Brotherhood of Man, but they do not
atteml the defense of the palpable fall
lacy that all men are equal. On the
contrary they believe in transmigration
and the publication of souls from gen
Grafton to generation. They assume that
a mere lifetime of culture would not
make Philips Brooks out of John L.
Sullivan, or enable Hottentot to under
stand the encyclopedia of Grover Cleve-
land.
They think that mans visible life
is limited to one incarnation, but that
he has many of these incarnations,
while the real man remains indestruct-
ible, returning again and again to
earthly lives, in which he is subjected
TO new tests, and has opportunities for
his better and higher development. The
main fact on which they lay great stress
is that one lifetime does not afford sulI-
cient opportunity for true tests or proper
development
They assert that there is nothing
more improbable in the theory of an
existence prior to the present conscious
life than there is to the subsequent i'm
mortality, and they insist that in this
doctrine there is nothing inconsistent
with the tenets of Christianity. The
intermediate periods between incarna-
tions are held to be periods of spiritual
rest and refreshment, the philosophy
being that each man creates his own
heaven, and that no other heaven would
be heaven TO him except that which he
has created.
In connection with what is otherwise
a high and acceptable philosophic sys-
TEN, the new religionists have made the
mistake of mingling some Of the knowl-
edge of hypnotism and other pretended
phenomena of what Is termed occult
science. The existence and the modes
of procedure of astral bodies as they
have been reported, tend TO expose the
whole system TO rldicule, The same

The American people have great
love for man who has the courage to
express his convictions. even if they do
offend some people. Lord Randolph
Churchill in England, seeing the great
increase of small grog shops, and the
prevalence of drinking because of such
increase, has commenced the advocacy
of high license law, and, as he is very
energetic and pushing, It is thought his
efforts will meet with success. The
liquor sellers, however have jumped
on his Lordship and threaten, as Sam
Jones says, "to stamp the feathers out
of him, at the very first opportunity,
