A (Jerinan paper lavs that a great trial Is
going on in St. Petersburg respecting a forgod
will. The num of one and a half million rouble!
is in dispute, and about two hundred wltncsnos
mUBt be heard on oath. The Senator Obolonskl
was called as a witness, but he claimed the
privilege of his rank and did not appear. The
court of justice therefore decided to proceed lu
solemn processlon.with all Us ofllcers, prisoners,
wltiicswes, etc., to the dwelling of the prince.
Might not some such step bo taken with advan
tage in this country on certain occasions ? It is
well known that many persons summoned to
ervo as Jurors prefer being fined to attending
the court; but if an honest juryman knew that
the result of his not answering when his name
was called would probably bo the appoaranco of
the judgo, the counsel, the plaintiff, the defend
ant, and the officers of the court, with the more
conscientious jurymen, at his private residence,
nd that, without referenc e to his carpets or his
domestic arrangements generally, the cause
would come on for hearing in his dining or
drawing-room, he might be Induced to take a
stridor view of his public duties.
The building formerly known as the High
School at Warsaw was converted into a Russian
university a few weeks ago, and it has now been
carefully stripped of all the characteristics of a
Polish iustitutlon. Over tho gateway a gigantic
j. ivuBniuu a ueu creeieu, wun vue words,
fv "Imperial University" inscribed in Kussian
haructcrs on each side of it. In the Interior of
the building all the Polish inscriptions have
been obliterated, and replaced by Russian ones.
In tho groat hall opposite the entrance is a por
trait Ih life-sl.e of the Emperor Alexander II.,
the founder of the university. All the announce
ments on the notice-board are also in tho Rus
sian language, and the beadles ami other ser
vants have received strict instructions not to
nswcr any one who addreses them in Polish.
Tho chair of Polish language and literature has
been abolished, and that of canon law has been
replaced by one of Byzantine law. Finally, as
If to imitate the appearance of a Russian uni
versity in its smallest details, a regulation has
just been published by the inspector forbidding
the students under severe penalties to wear
teards or moustaches.
A correspondent at Vienna, writing on the
14th ult., says: "There Is great agitation in
political circles here about tho proposed reform
of the Constitution. At present tho deputies lu
the Rcichsrath arc elected by tho various pro
vincial diets from among their members, and
Dr. Glskra, Minister of the Interior, is preparing
- bill to amend this system by introducing direct
lections, as in other countries. This proposal
iias been received with much opposition in the
Slavonic diets, which look upon It as a fresh
attempt to subordinate them to the (lermau ele
ment; and it is said that several of the Ministers
wish to overcome the objections of these diets
tiy giving them larger powers of local adminis
tration. I have reason to believe that Count
Bcust inclines to tho view s of this party, and
that great concessions are to bo made to the
various nationalities, especially tho Poles, who
are to have a chancellor to represent their in
terests in the Cabinet, and the same local powers
as Crotia now possesses in the Hungarian half
of tho empire.
A German papor tells an odd story of a trick
played the other day on a landowner in an agri
cultural district of Silesia. This gentleman, a
Herr Schrci, had a quarrel with a neighbor.
Which led to a strong correspondence, aud in
one of his letters ho greatly provoked his anta
gonist by speaking ironically of tho "Attic salt"
iwun wiiicn ne navorou ms epistolary stylo. A
few days after there appeared in the local paper
the following advertisement: "Attic salt and
Other salts for cattle may always be obtained at
liately attracted the attention of a zealous offi
cial who was employed in the district to admin
ister tho salt monopoly of the government, and
be directed one of his subordinates to go at once
to Herr Schroi's farm and search the premises
for the salt in question. Tho subordinate, after
joing all over the farm and looking in every
corner for the smuggled commodity, reported as
follows: "Having learnt from the local paper
that a foreign salt under the name of 'Attic salt'
had been imported into this district, I searched
the house aud farm of - the farmer Schrei, who
iiad been suspected of the fraud, but no trace of
Attic salt was to be found about him.''
It may interest the disciples of Gall and
iSpurzheim to learn that Tropmann, tho "as
sassin a la mode" in Paris, has been subjected
to the scrutiny of M. Bcrger, a French profes
sor of phrenology. The results of his investiga
tions are, at least, startling; and to the uniniti
ated might appear contradictory. The most
highly developed organ of Tropmann's head is
the love of children. With tho memory of his
recent exploits fresh in one's mind, this an
nouncement is calculated to take one by surprise,
but the learned professor explains that an ab
normal development of the bumps of combatlve
ness, secretlveness, and acquisitiveness enable
an otherwise benevolent person to overcome his
1 pnllantliropic tcnaoncies. i uo weu-Known n.

Eort is less favorable. In the lines of tho palm
e reads the sign of .many evil passions, and
traces a general resemblance between his linger
and those of the notorious Dumollard, who was
executed a few years ago for having murdered
lixtcen girls in seven years.
Bays the 1'all Mall Gatetlei "Some three
tr tour years ago a commission sat upon the
question of the fees levied upon tho creation of
dignities and other kindred matters, and agreed
upon a report; the question has since remained
in abeyance, out we oeneve mat laiciy n nas
been rovived, and that it is the intention of the
Government to take action in the matter, not
solely with a view of relieving those whom the
Crown has thought proper to honor from pay
ment of the charsres in Question, but also to save
the country from an expense which it certainly
aDDcars un iust it should be called upon to I .car
The heaviest fees are those charged upon the
appointment of Knights of the Garter, and
where, as is always the case. Princes of the
Blood Royal receive this dignity, the Treasury,
unless we are misinformed, mainly bears the ex
pense of the fees, a large portion of which flows
Into the pockets of Blnecurists. This socms hard
m those who have personally to pay the fees on
j..ni!nn Vint hnrrtnr Mill (in tlin undecorated
J taxpayer, who has all the expense and no star
or garter.
I Thn dancers to which railway travelling
V xnoses us are many and great, but a French
rvpiil one which is both new and terrl
(Lie. We learn from it that a certain Madame
D. was travelling 'from Bordeaux to Paris, and
ttrmnlnA the eiirhth place in a ladies' carriage
sha ,mf nut. at a station, but left her shawl on
her wat as a retainer. On returning sho found
her nlaoA occupied by an old lady. An alterca.
tion ensued, the old lady being obstinate aud
Madame D. equally so. In the middle of the
discussion the train began to move, and Madame
D. could only spring hastily into a smoicing car
riairn. whom she haa to remain for two hours in
the greatest discomfort, having a great dislike
to tobacco. At length, the train stopped, and
Madame D., wild with anger, rushed towards the
hid w oftrrlape. Her aired antagonist still sat
in hr tilace. "Will you get out now r" said
X Madame D. "No," said the old lady. Very
11 .n iun " anlri Madame 1).. suitincr the action
to the word, "I shall sit upon you all the way to
Paris." Madame L. persisted iu this cruel in
tention, and in spite of the remonstrances ot
her fellow-travellers and the howls of her vi
tini, retained her seat upon the aged lady till the
latter fainted and was taken out ef the uarriage,
leaving Madame D. mistress of the position.
The Meager tie Toulouse gives an account
ef another hostile meeting in ! ranee, tho com
batants being women, whose mode of llglulng
suggests an improvement in duelling. Aunon
B. and Jeauueton L. had a difUrenco respecting
a sum of seventy-five centimes which had boou
lent by the former to the latter. Happening to
meet on market day, strong expressions were
used on both sides ono calling the other a
"cheat," and tho other retorting by the term
"miBer." Aunon, Intent on paying herself,
seized the handle of a basket of eggs which
Jcanncton carried; a struggle ensued, the eggs
be"an to fly f uriously and fast, aud both com
batants were freely bespattered about tho faceand
neck with volk and ehidl. An clcgAiitly-drossed
young gentleman in the c rowd made himself
somewhat prominent by inappropriate mirth;
Ibis diverted tho angor of Aneion and
Jeanneton from each other, and their concen
trated wrath fell upon tho head of him who
moc ked them. About two-thirds of the contents
of Jcanncton's hamper had been consumed in
the encounter; the remaining eggs were ex
ponded by the justly indignant women on the
woll-drcsfcd offender, to tho corapleto destruc
tion of his lrrcproachablo garments and his
utter confusion. There can be little doubt that
the egg might with advantage be substituted for
tho sword in French duels. In nino cases out of
ton, the damago done, and tho annoyance In
flicted, by the egg would exceed that which is
produced by tho employment of tho deadlier
weapon.
Tho rail Mall (fnzelte says: An artlclo In a
late number of the J'rmisint'fit Jahrbuohur
draws an interesting comparison between the
losses of the rival armies in the baltlo of Konlg
gratz, and those sustained at tho other principal
battles of tho last two centuries. It appears that
the Prussians lost at Konlgejratz, In dead,
wounded, and missing, 85!) otllcers and 87!H
men; and tho Austrlans 1147 ofllcers and 30,2:24
men. The proportion of the losses to the total
force engaged on each side was, for tho Prus
sians, 1-23; for tho Austrlans, 1-7; for both to
gether, 1-11. In the battle of Malplaquet (1707)
the proportion of losses was 1-5; at Kossbach
(1757), 1-25; at Lcuthen (1758), 1-11; at Zorndoff
(175S), ; at Austerlitz (1805), '4'; at Eylau,
(1807), )i at Wngrara, (180!), at Borodino
(1812), X; at Lcipsic (1813), 1-5; at Belle Allianco
(1815). X; at Solfcrino (m'J), . The three
greatest of tho above battles, the article pro
ceeds, are those of Lclpsle, Konlggratz, aud
Wagrain, at whirh the total number of troops
engaged was 400,500, 430.000, and 320,000 re
spectively. Tho three bloodiest were Lcipsic
(J0. 000 men lost), Borodino (loss 74,000), and
Bcllo Alliance (loss (01,000). This estimate
agrees, on tho whole, very well with the popular
versions; but, with these, Is subject to correction
when examined with historical accuracy. The
Prussians do injustice to the magnitude of
Konlggratz when they rank it after Lcipsic. It
is natural they should exaggerate tho importance
of the latter, which gave completes freedom to
their country, and fairly earned their favorite
General hit marshal's baton. But, taking
instead of estimates the actual "states" of each
side as reproduced by their best writers, it ap
pears that the allies had barely 230.000 at
Leipsic, tho French 170,000; total, 400,000. At
Konlggratz, following the same safe rule, we
find 420,000 at least present. Wagram comes far
behind either, for there were not actually
300,000 combatants present. Tho three next are
Borodino, Bautzen, and Dresden; all under
250,000 in total. It is worth noting that the
numbers engaged at tho Wilderness, by far the
largest American battle, were a little over
100,000, viz.: 141,000 Federals versus 52,000
Confederates. Fach side had just one-seventh
of Its strength put hors dfi combat; whereas at
Grant's early battle of Pittsburg each lost a full
fourth.

SEVEN PER CENT. GOLD
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS,
Free of Government Tax,
At 95 and Accrued Interest.
MANY PERSONS ARE SELLING THEIR GOV
ERNMENT BONDS WHILE THE PREMIUM IS
feTILL LARGE (as the Treasury Has promised to buy
thirteen millions in December), AND REINVEST IN
THE FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS OP thk CEN
TRAL RAILROAD OP IOWA, WHICH PAY ABOUT
ONE-THIRD more INTEREST. THE TIME TO
MAKE SUCH REINVESTMENT is tcl.ile the Trca
vry U buyinp, and Government are at a premium.
THE ROAD DOES NOT RUN THROUGH A
WILDERNESS, where It would have to wait years for
population and business, but through tho most
thickly settled and productive agricultural counties
in the State, which gives each section a large traille
as soon as completed.
It runs through the great coal fields of Southern
Iowa to the North, where coal is Indispensable aud
must lie carried.
It runsrom the great lumber regions of the North,
through a district of country which Is destitute of
this prime necessity.
The mortgage Is made to the Farmers' Loan and
Trust Company, of New York, and bonds can be
issued only at the rat oof $10,000 per mile, or only half
the amount upon some other roads. Special security
is provided for the principal and for the payment of
Interest.
First Mortgage Bonds for so small an amount upon
a road runulng through such a rich and already
well-settled part of Iowa, can well oe recommended
as a perfectly saie as well as very proQtable Invest
ment. Pamphlets, with map, may be obtained, and sub
