sort in New York in favor OF MIR. TIL

the uncertainties of the law. he, one of
the greatest lawyers if not the greatest
of his day. could not SO draw his own

sired 10 dispose of it
. Why is it that men do not dispose OF
their property before they come to their
death beds? Mr.. TMDES would have
found no difficulty in founding school

The will was declared invalid on the

definite to enable a cour. of law to
hold the repositories OF the trust to a
strict account for the perforn nance Of
their duties.

War Ships on the Coast.

The investigation as to the loss Of the
United States steamer Despatch shows
that it WAS caused by subordinate Off
Ger installing one shore-light for an
other.
The course given him by the COM
manding officer seems to hate been all
right, and had it been followed the pro
liability is that no disaster would have
occurred. As it was, instead OF being
steered out Of danger, the vessel was
steered into danger and broke to pieces
upon the sandy shore.
The behavior Of the officers and men
was courageous and cool enough, aud
there is nothing to complain of in this
respect. nor, indeed, is infallibility to

than from others who sail the sea, but it
will be well to inquire ii proper oppor-
tunities are given our seamen to learn
the mysteries of our own coast. But 4
few years ago the Huron went 10 pieces
on the North Carolina shore in waters
where she had no business to be. for she
was away off her course. Later still the
schoolship from Annapolis, with all tho
cadets on board, grounded near the Nir
GINA capes Other war vessels have had
similar accidents with more or less fatal
ties, and last of oil tho Despatch ended
her existence under circumstances that
have called forth good deal Of adverse
comment, while the Atlanta, which went
to her assistance, was forced to put into
the first harbor she could reach in dis
abled condition.
The coastwise steamers Of the COM
mercial lines manage better, and the
reason, no doubt, is that their officers
and men have learned wisdom from their
experience in sailing up and down our
coast But why should not our war
ships have experience, too? The De-

Information regarding the compiled
tons that have arisen in Pamir between
Russia anu Great Britain is still meagre,
The matter may dwndle into one Of
those scares that are constantly recur-
ring in Central Asia or 1t may prove 50
serious as to result in clash of arms
AMI fulfil the oit-repeated prediction
that the next great war would
begin i'll 1.-the ancient cradle Of civiliza-
ton" Whatever may be the result,
however, the episode starts a train Of
interesting suggestions. The Pamir
highlands virtually constitute the divide
or buffer between British and Russian
dominion in the far East. They are
the converging point Of the great noun
tain-ranges of Asia, notably the Hrnioo
Hush, the Tan Shan aud the Hima-
lava, and the strategic import
ance OF the territory with re-
ference to Cabool, British designs
in Thibet, and the general
question of defence Of the Indian border
is well recognized. For several years
both the British, or, more properly, the
Indian and the Russian Governments
have had scientific and geographical ex-
petitions III Pamir, and their ooserya-
tons have served 10 dissipate good
many popular errors regarding distances
IN that and adjacent country, and show
that the area of the heart OF
Asia is by no means as ex-
tensivo as has been commonly
supposed Yet tho Russian tx
petitions have, as usual, combined
intrigue with scientific and geographical
study. Russia has never relinquished
the advantage she gained 10y GLAD
STONES reputation of BEAcoSsFmLD's
policy regarding Central Asia, but has
as far as she dared steadily encroached
upon the neutral ground OF that re-
gion. Among the outcomes of the
complication to be expected, therefore,
is vigorous prosecution of the work OF
pushing Indian strategic rail-
way lines in Afghan territory, coupled
with possible reflex influence
Of Indian sentiment upon political affairs
in the little Isle. The recognition that
GLApsTosE's substitution OF diplomacy
and concession for defiance has i'm
paired British prestige in Central Asia,
added to his declaration regarding British
evacuation or Egypt. and the recollec
ton OF his vacillation respecting Khar-
toum may have the effect of materially
strengthening the hands OF the Tories.
especially as SALISBURY is the acknow-
lodged pupil of DIsRAELi.
But there is IN incidental phase Of
the bringing OF pamir and contiguous
country prominently TO the attention Of
the public which is, in sense, its most
interesting phase. In Pamlr the Oxus
takes its rise, and the whole stretch of

made no reference to his position in

to some OF those who had supported
him for the nomination OF State senator.
That part OF my communication which
DR.. Priddy claims did him "greet in

good deal Of personal feeling awakened

Dr.. Priddy is countenancing the oppo-

of any communication of mine, for |
