The Money of Dead People.

From the brooklyn Eagle.
Benjamin Franklin left a certain sum for
educational purposes to his native Boston.
which, in the long interval since his death.
has waxed to large fortune The alder
men have made a few attempts to get it.
and have failed, and now comes dentist of
Fitchburg, whose great-grandmother was
Franklins niece, and wants the money, be-
cause he says that the philosophers will
was misconstrued He won't get the money
and he knows that he won't, but he will
be a source OF irritation and expense since
the city must engage counsel to defend it
self against this assault on its properties.
But while his suit wall be as futile as that
of the alleged heirs Of the alleged Anneke
Jams for the alleged real estate owned by
that extraordinary maker OF hope and con-
tention the fact that a stranger can make
trouble of this kind is another illustration
of the usefulness of perpetrating ones ben
efactionS during life.
To be sure, the fashion of contesting wills
was not prevalent IN Franklin's day. Soci-
ETY. would have had its opinion, and not a
good one. of the sneak who, not bold
enough to steal, waited till his father or
brother was dead and then tried to get his
goods by alleging lunacy, drunkenness and
that sort of thing against the deceased, and
the law was not numbered by so many
precedents that would have allowed him
TO persist in that especially mean form of
robbery Mr.. Carnegie and Mr. Rockefel-
Ter are wise in their generation, in that
they are bestowing their millions for the
worlds improvement while they live, for
they do not know what half-brothers Of
sixteenth cousins and what nieces OF great
aunts by adoption may be lurking In the
moral shades waiting to spring out as soon
as the sod falls on their collins and startle
the community with felonious accusations
and equally feloniouS demands for their
property withdrawing is a small business
and there are cases where the attempt to
procure other peoples goods should be
studied by the district attorney

Ugly Deer in Vermont.
From the st. Adams Messenger.

from The ST. AIbans Messenger.
1t is seriously affirmed that farmers in the
northern part of Rutland county would like
permission to kill big, ugly deer that
would weigh dressed 800 pounds and has
immense horns.
This terror of the woods, they say, chases
men to cover, will not yield the right or
way when he meets teams in the road, and
In devious ways makes himself decidedly
unpleasant. He recently paid visit to q
Castleton farmer ard, when ordered away,
refused to leave, although seven other deer
that were with him turned and fed when
the farmer and his dog went out. The big
deer. however, was in no humor for debate,
and promptly chased the collie into the
barn. r-y

The Golf Passion.

From the Lahore Civil and Military Gazette.
1 have in my time lived on intimate terms
with the officers of most nations in Europe
My experience of British officers (among
whom / now have the honor to count many
friends is that they are second to none in
intellect and instruction. but this, bien
entendu, only until golf links and golf
ball become visible. Then they are maniacs.
1 try to talk to them of scenery, literature,
art politics, etc--they are polite, of course,
the English always are, but I can see in
stinctively that there is only one subject to
iterest them-le sacre white ball.
