cautiously hold of the extreme end Of the
string, and, maintaining the insect far
from his person circumstances would
permit, prepared to ascend the tree.
In youth, the tulip tree, or liriodendron
tulipiferum, the most magnificent Of Amer
lean foresters, has trunk peculiarly
smooth, and often rises to a great height
without lateral branches; but, in its ripper
age, the bark becomes gnarled and uneven,
while many short limbs make their appear
ance on the stem. Thus the difficulty OF
ascension, in the present case, lay more
in semblance than In reality. Embracing
the huge cylinder, as closely as possible,
with his arms and knees, Selling with his
hands some projections, and resting his
naked toes upon others. Jupiter, after one
or two narrow escapes from falling, at
length wriggled himself into the first greak
business as virtually accomplished. The
risk Of the achievement was, in fact, now
over, although the climber was some sixty
or seventy feet from the ground.

he asked.
Keep up the largest branch, the one on
this side" said Legrand. The negro obeyed
him promptly, and apparently with but
little trouble; ascending higher and higher,
until no glimpse Of his squat figure could
be obtained through the dense foliage
which enveleped 1t. Presently his voice
was heard in a sort of haIloo
How much fudder is got for go?'

'Ebber so fur" replied the negro; .scan

Never mind the sky, but attend to what

Then go one limb higher"
In few minutes the voice was heard
again. announcing that the seventh limb
was attained.

much excited, 81 want you to work Your

viii OF the Late Charles CogsweII is
Found After a Special Admins
traitor Mas appointed.
HIS BROTHER IS MADE WEALTHY.
BY the Terms of the Will the Entire Estate
ofcharles cOgswell viii Go to His
Brother, DR.. Frank Cogswell.
(F'rom Tuesdays Daily. J

By the accidental finding of a will at
the home of the late Charles Cogswe1l,
of the village of Silver Lake, DR..
Frank Cogswell, of Oaksdale, Wash
ington, will receive a legacy of twenty
five thousand dollars, while Monday
he had expected to receive but one-ha1f
this amount from the estate.
DR.. Cogswell is the sole surviving
brother of the deceased and Monday he
appeared in the County court and
asked that special administration of
the estate be granted in order that It
might be properly divided between
himself and two children of sister
of the deceased. The administration
was granted and DIR. Cogswe11 was ap-
pointed administrator. He went to
Silver Lake to the old Cogswel1 home
Monday evening and while searching
among the papers he found a will
made by his brother in which the en-
tire property is left to DIR. Frank Cogs-
we'll. The will was brought to Keno
sha this morning and petition filed
to have it admitted to probate.
The Cogsweu estate is one of the
largest estates in the county and while
It is valued at but twenty-five thous-
and dollars the property has a great
future and it is thought that it will be
worth much more than this amount in
a few years. The real estate consists
of three hundred acres of land 'front.'
ing on Silver Lake. Some of the land
is among the most valuable in the
county. The personal property Of the
deceased is scheduled at $1,000.
The will under which DR.. Cogswell
will inherit the entire fortune of his
brother was written by Senator
Quarles in the summer of 1865. BY the
terms of the will the two children of
the deceased sister who were supposed
to be part heirs to the estate will be
cut off. The hearing of the probate of
the will is set for the regular April
term.
!. In the County court this morning
the following matters were heard and
disposed of:
In the matter of the last will and
testament of the late Joseph Um1and,
the will was admitted to probate, ard
Mrs. Eliza Umland was named as ex-
ecutrix of the will.
In the matter of the petition for i'd
ministration of the estate of the late
Catherine Roe, administration was
granted and John H. Corcoran named
as administrator.
Ia the matter of the estate of the late
Katherine McNulty, administration
was granted, and John McNulty ap-
pointed administrator.
