Victoria,

NICtOr1n.
New York, March ia curious hunt
for missing wealth was unearthed by
an advertisement in daily paper here
yesterday, which asked for informa-
ton regarding the purchase of Amer
lean securities by John Robert Turner,
OF Chorley, Lancashire, England. The
advertisement was inserted at the in
stigation of William Lees, lawyer
from England who is acting for
Francis Whitaker, solicitor OF the
duchy of Lancaster, from which Queen
Victoria derives considerable income.
turner was q prosperous cotton
trader. who made frequent visits to
this country, and was generally sup
posed to have amassed a large for
tune. When he died, in 1873, his near
est of kin could only discover $4,000
worth of property. They instituted in
quiries, which resulted in the discoy-
cry that Turner was an Legitimate
son. When this became known his
relatives ceased their labors for this
accident of Turner's birth transferred
according to an ancient law, his estate
to the Duchy of Lancaster.
Now Mr. Lees Is anxious to obtain,
on behalf of Queen Victoria. some
trace of the $l5O,0OO which Turner is
supposed to have invested in Ameri-
can securities

Cunning of the Left Hand.

AmbideXtrous men and women, or
those who can use either right or left
hands with equal facility, are not nearly
so frequently met with as might at
first be supposed; in fact they are quite
rare. This double faculty is, however,
much more frequently met with among
butchers and sailors than in any other
walks of life. Left-handed butchers are
numerous, as a walk through any of our
large market houses will quickly dem
onstrate, and it is a very interesting
study to watch one OF them who will
cut, chop, saw and handle his meat
without once changing it from one side
to the other on the block or changing
his own position. In view of the many
advantages derived from the ability to
use both hands equally well, many peO-
pie have often expressed surprise at the
action of education authorities in in
sisting on the use of only the right hand
instead of trying to develop an equal
skill in the other. They all stick to the
right-handed idea, however, and an old
resident of Frankfort, noted for his am
bidextrousness, is still mourning the
loss Of prize at school through the use
of his left hand in writing, although he
was equally skillful as a penman with
his right.-Boston Gazette.
