SarsapariIIa
a Pugliistic Earl.

London society is much interested
in an incident reported from Bucks,
in which the earl of Orkney, who n
few years ago married Connie Gil
christ, was the principal figure. The
earl was walking out few days ago
with the countess pet dog and met
some roughs who had bull terrier
which they set on the countess pet.
The earl called upon them to desist,
which they insultingly refused to do,
whereupon he went for the biggest
of them in true pugilistic fashion. A
ring was formed, and there was a hot
fight to a finish. The earl came off
victor, leaving his opponent in bat
tered and helpless condition. The
earl came out of the encounter al
most unmarked. He was heartily
congratulated the next morning at
the meet of the hounds on his tri-

Flower Ghosts.

Anyone who wishes to see the ghost
of flower has only TO make n very
simple experiment Let him go up t.
n cluster of blossoms and look very in
tently for several minutes at one side
of it. Then very suddenly he must
turn his gaze upon the other side OF
the same cluster. He will at once dis
tinctly see faint and delicate circle
of colored light around this second
half of the cluster. The light is always
in the hue which is complementary"
to that of the flower. The specter of
the scarlet poppy is of a greenish
white. The ghost of the primrose is
purple. The ghost of the blue fringed
gentian is of a pale gold tint. In
these circles of color the shapes of
the flowers petals are always family
but clearly seen.

BONANZA FORTUNES GONE.
InherItors of California Millions Now

Inheritors of California Millions Now
an Almost Pennies Crowd.
California has long had the reputa-
tion as the home of the bonanza king
and recently issued document, based
on the records Of the San Francisco
Probate court, tells an interesting story
of the contests and entanglements
which have massed about the last tes-
lament of many famous millionaires
and the final disposition of the vast
sums they left behind them, says Den
yer Field and Farm. The document
gives the history of fifty-three wills.
disposing of SITS 100000. About 400
heirs divided the vast sum and to-day
nearly half of that number are penni-
less again and only few succeeded in
adding to their inheritance. The aver
age number of persons provided for in
each was ten, though in a number Of
instances, the most notable of which
was the case of Florence Blythe, the
entire estates passed into the hands Of
single heirs. The comparatively small
estate of Kate Johnson, which was ap-
praised at $1,250,000, reached more
heirs than any other, the number on
the list being twenty-five, while the
S4,OOO,OOO OF Thomas Blythe went to
one child, Florence, after celebrated
trial. The estate of Maria Coleman
was valued at 81, ,757, 900 and it went
equally to three heirs. Charles Crock
er's $22,O00,O00 reached six persons,
while Mary Ann Crocker's $11,SS3,657
went share and share alike to four Of
the six who got Charles Crocker's
larger fortune. Peter Donahues So
7CS,312 went in equal parts to three
heirs. Mrs. Theresa Fairs $4,693, 250
went to three persons-Charles L. Fair,
Miss Virginia Fair and Mrs. Charles
Oelrichs-while William P. Fuller dis
tributed his $1,771 1862 to seven persons
of his name. Emmanuel Goldstein's
S1,000,000 went to six heirs, George
Hearst's $S,7S8,137 went in equal parts
to his wife and son, while Walter Ho-
bart's S5,273,366 went in thirds to his
three chiidren-Walter Hobart, Miss
Ella Hobart and Mrs. Wenthrop Lester.
Mary Hopkins $2O,694,762 went to two
persons. Robert C. Johnson's $780,
$50 went to eleven persons in almost
equal portions. There are a few ex-
ceptions to the general course of es-
tates, as in the case of Lick and Stan
ford. The $5,O00,OOO of the Lick es-
tate went chiefly to one heir and to a
number of trusts of public nature
created before James Lick's death.
Charles Mclaughlin left his S2,476,000
to his widow, while Alexander Mont
gomery's $2,356, ,S45 went to three heirs.
Daniel T. Murphy's $2,041 $40 went to
six heirs. William S. OBrien's So
655.450 reached eight persons. James
left an even million, which reached
four persons in shares and a number Of
small bequests. A. J. Pope's S1,660,0O
reached four heirs. Washington Ryer
left $1,276,39S to fifteen persons. Le-
land Stanford's s17,6SS,319 went to
four persons and the trust for the uni
versity.

MENELEK'S INDEPENDENC
Not Such q Barbarian as Is Comm, My
Supposed.

Not Such Barbarian as Is Comm My
Supposed.
The popes influence has failed to Sc
cure the release of the Italian prisoners
in AbysSinia It is said that his shrewd
councillors disapproved an attempt so
little likely to succeed at time when
his holiness cannot afford to risk the
papal prestige; but generous pity
overcame their reasoned objections. AS
if to emphasize the refusal, Menelek
has set free sixty-four officers and men
of his own accord. They report that
the Abyssinian monarch is not such a
barbarian as is commonly supposed.
He reads the leading Italian journals
through an interpreter-it is well for
the prisoners mean exactly by many"
stand them himself. Menelek desires
to make himself equal to the European
sovereigns; and this fact represents
progress, for all his predecessors firm
ly believed themselves to be already
equal or superior. The Italian officers
are frequently questioned about the
manners and customs of royalty in Eu-
rope. His queen actually wears dress
es from Paris and stockings, shoes, etc.
Many French families are settled at
and near Entotto, where the negus has
a palace, and they supply these arti-
cles. One would like to know what
the prisoners mean exactly by many"
It may be credited, however, that Abys-
sinia is about to undergo a change,
with Russians and Frenchmen to direct
it; and, in that case, the sooner Egypt
gets command of the upper waters OF
the Nile the better for her safety. To
occupy the Sudan would be the first
move of the energetic negus, who felt
himself strong enough to organize a
grand attack upon the hereditary foe,
says the London Standard. And if he
got possession of the Sudan, self-inter-
est would tempt him to divert the Nile,
putting ill-will towards Egypt aside.

Longfellow's Gentleness.

He was reluctant to make any criti-
cism of other poets: I do not remem-
Der ever to have heard him make one
and his writings show no trace of the
literary dislikes or contempts which
VIC so often mistake in ourselves for
righteous judgment. No doubt he had
his resentments, but he hushed them in
his heart, which he did not suffer them
to embitter. While Poe was writing of
sLongfellow and other plagiarists, -
Longfellow was helping to keep Poe
alive by the loans which always made
themselves gifts in Poes case. He
very, very rarely spoke of himself at
all and almost never of the grievances
which he did not fail to share with all
who live.-W. D. Howells in Harper's.

4 CHANGE FoR MissIoYARIES.


 When any missionaries can be spared from labor in Africa they should be sent to Fl Paso, Texas. If what the Chicago Advance says is true, and it probably is, missionaries are very much needed in El Paso. It is asserted that every Protestant pastor who was in charge of a church at Fl Paso at the time of the great discussion over the prize-fight has been driven from the town through want of congregations and financial support" This is the completed result of boycott against them by the merchants and other classes because of their opposition 10 the prize-fght.
 This condition of things shouldn't be allowed to continue. Missionaries who have tact and skill should be sent to Fl Paso. They might begin work by calling the attention of the tight-loving people there to the biblical accounts of fights, some of. which are interesting. Then they might give illustrated lec- lures in which Satan could be pictured as knocked-out by gospel fighters. They might get a pious ex-pugilist to teach pious boxing. And as a crown ing stroke they might give boxing ex- hibitions in order to draw the people to church. This wouldn't be much worse than is now done in some places and the condition of things in Fl Paso seems to call for something little out of the usual order

industrious. They cannot be compar- ed with the farmers of the United States, except in their desire to get wealth from the soil, They are willing to begin life in a mud cabin and to con tinue in a poor, joyless, mean exist enee. Their homes are comfortless, their communities bare of civilizing in- fluences, their amusements simple and their educational progress slow.
 It is with the farmers above describ- ed, who have advantages Of soil and climate which count for much, that the agriculturist of the United States must compete. There are thrifty Swiss and Russian farmers in Argentina, but the Italians dominate at every point The profit on their crops is so large that they can afford to lose one-third of the crop by flood or frost and still earn money.

4 Blnst From a Bible BIcnt.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 I notice that the New Year opened another heresy trial, recorded in your valuable paper of January 1st. It seems that New Haven's higher Con- gregationalism has not penetrated this Rocky Hill" Looks as though the town was something of modern Beth lehem where "the Star of the East still outshines the electric light of ra- tionalistic religion. If the Rev. MT. Chunn had located near to or in New Haven this trouble might have been averted. Here is the sheltering fold for preachers whose expanding minds have burst the bands of bare Bible truth. Environment" evolution, "panthe- ism," etc, all tend to make Congrega- tionalism the lawful clearing house. heresy hunters. Here the greater theo- logians may give free play to those transcendent powers characteristic of acute minds. Here they may subtract, at least, the Pentateuch from the Bible and divide the remainder by in- tellectual "conceptions" of truth. Here they may fearlessly play with the fire of old German rationalism under new CD name. Here they may proclaim that scientific research only tends to confirm the truth of the Bible; and in the next breath substitute evolu- ton for the recorded creation and fall of Adam and Eve. Here they may put
