SILENT BUT EFFECTIVE TESTIMO- ER A few months ago Jacob Ames died, leaving property to the amount of fifty to sixty thousand dollars, all of which was readily avilable. At first it- was - supposed that the old man—he was eighty-seven--had died without hayingmade a will, as she had often been heard to remark that making a - will seemed like a prepara tion for death, and as there could be no question about the inheritance of his property ; he did not choose to make any such, to him, ghostly testa merit.:7::His direct and,,only legiti mate heirs were two orphans, both girls, children of his only daughter. One of them was a cripple, - requiring almost the individual care and atten tion of the other, and both were lbe loved by all who knew them. While people were feeling glad that the or phan sisters were to be thus provid ed for, a man named James Arnold ilresented a will for probate, said to be the Last Will and Testament of Jacob Ames, made several years be fore: This Arnold was a-nephew-in law of ow Jacob, the child of a wife's sister, and had for several years been employed as business agent and gen eral accountant of the deceased; and when he caused the will to be pre sented, be ,produced . a number of witnesses Nilo declared that they had often heard old Ames say that he lidd made - the only will be should make, and that - James Arnold was his heir ; and, what seemed to make the matter sure, two witnesses to the will, .former servants or em ployes of the testator, swore point blank to having seen Ames place his signature to the document, after which they signed their own names. Honest people shook their heads At this, for these two witnesses—a man and his wife—were not above suspi cion. In fact, it was generally believ ed that a small stun of -ready money would tray them, body and soul I entered the court-room late in the afternoon of the third day, just as the witness was about to leave the witness box; anti this witness was Thomas Cloudman, the servant just alluded to. He had been. questioned by a juryman, and had made a plain statement. Everything ivas against the poor deserving orphans, and all in favor of the despised nephew. In Lain() honest man under . the- evi dence, could. have brought in a ver dict against Arnold's claim. The juryman who had questioned this witncss,.sat at the end of the box; anti close to_ him apiong the spectators, stood old Tiarvey Good rich, who was at that time engaged in the paper mill of Day & Lyon, at Porthilid. I had known him years before, when lie worked for Rice, -of Newton._ The juror held the will in his hand, open, and Goodrich cast his eye upon it. I saw the old paper maker start and tremble. a " Let me look at that !" I beard him whisper, for I stood close by. The Juror, without considering, handed . him the document; and be fore the' counsel could interpose and regain it, Goodrich had seen all lie desired, and his first movement, after relinquishing the will, was to hasten to tho side of the orphans' attorney, and whispered hurriedly and excited ly in 'his car. I saw Alit? attorney whose name was Shipman, bend' his head attentively, and then start to his feet. What was it ? In those few brief momenta the whole - audi- Cnce had caught the fever of excite ment, for it was clearly evident that something of importance was on the tapis. " :gay it please your honor," said Shipman, very quietly so calmly and so quietly that we feared it could be nothing of importance, after al1L— " I must ask' the indulgence of the court. I wish to present new import ant testimony." There was a slight war of words between the opposing. counsel, after which, by permission of -the court, the old paper-nicker took tie witness box. He gave his name,residence, occupation, etc : , and then Mx. Ship man placed the will in his hands. " Mr. Goodrich, Will you please ex amine that document?" "I have done so, sir." "What is tho written date of tha will?" "September fifth, eighteen hun dred and forty-one,"! answered th• witness, reading from the instrument. "Now, Mr. Goodrich, will you nlea,c inform the jury, and the court, if you ol , t=crvo anything else, in or upon that paper which you hold in your hand, that would positively af- . fect th© reliability 'of that written date. Make your own statement, in your own way; only make it concise and clear." " Your honor, and gentlemen of the jury," commenced the witness, this piece of paper which I now hold in my hand, was manufactured by myself and was calendered upon machine of my own invention. The water-lint:s, in place of Ordinary blue s TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., MAY 16, 1872. ruling, was included in my !improve ment. You will also 'observe, upon close inspection—though the ink on the surface has somewhat obscur ed it -- my own stamp in • water marks. Your honor can examine it for yourself." - The ITudge took the document, and held it up against the strong light ; and involuntarily ho road aloud, so as to be heard by all in the room—for eve breath was hushed —" H. Goodri ch's Patent. Eighteen bandied fedi-three!" - ' "'Yes, your Honor," broke in Goodrich, whose professional integri, ty was now in the balance, "1 can solemnly swear that that sheet of paper was not made until at least two years after the date of the instra: ment which has been written upon its face." The paper was given to the jury, who were all upon their feet. Ar nold's counsel deinanded to see it. Mr. Clondman and his wife -hot up and tried to leave the room, but were prevented. Judge and bar were in a stele of ferment; while the dense audience swayed to and fro in eager, painful suspense: Would this • old man's testimony have its legitimate weight? Al! how could it be otherwise? There was a witness more potent to an intelligent .court than speech of tongue. The contested will bore in its innermost heart—in its " heart of hearts"—the emphatic evidence of the base lie upon its written face. Other witnesses were. called—one paper-maker and two paper-dealers —but the thing was settled. The water-lined date of the paper was evidence enough. A litttle while and the Judge gave his charge— about as brief a charge as I ever hoard. little longer and wo knew that the orphans were the true legal ly established heirs to . 3acob Ames' fortune. I will not attempt to de scribe the scene that followed: Suf fice it for me to say; that the perjur ed parties were severely punished, while the- sun of joy and gladness cast its gracious beams upon, the be loved and deserving sisters. Paul du Chaillu says in a lecture about Lapland: When I went to Sweden and expressed my intention of going to Lapland, I was told that I should have to wait until the mos quitoes had gone, for I could not stand them. I laughed at the idea; but when I arrived there you may be assured I believed it; why, Jersey is not for a moment to be compared with it for musqu;toes. .During the reign of this insect the inhabitants go to the mountains. The Laplanders are most astonishingly honest.; they leave their valuable's in sight of their servants when they retire, and have never-knoWn them to be stolen. I left my money-bag once, and travel ed sonic distance before I missed it. I tried to make my guide understand my loss, and:in so doing, awakened the sympathies of a young woman (the Lapland women are beautiful!), who volunteered to get it for me, which she soon did; I offered. her some of the gold, but she said she would not accept it; not knowing how eh to reward her, I gave her a kiss; she looked astonished, and I gave her another. These people are intensely fond of flowers; in Summer, 'when .he flowers are-it bloom, it is a national custom to visit the grave yards each Saturday. and strew the graves with them.' Great interest is manifested. to learn of affairs in America, and New York and Chicago are household words. The country has a very thick growth of birch and fir trees cover nearly the entire sur face, some of the fir trees measuring from. five to eight feet in circumfer ence. The scenery is magnificent, and I can conceive of nothing more grand than their mountains, which are from 5,000 to 8,000 feet in height. I have travelled for the short space of half an hour, and passed 72_ water falls in that time with an average height of 1000 feet. WHAT IS POLITENESS ?--I believe it is best, Who known by description, definition not being able to comprise it. I would, however, venture to call benevolence in trifles, or in the preference of others to ourselves, in little daily, hourly occurrrences in the commerce of life. A better place, a more commodious seat, prior in ; being helped at the table ; what is it but sacrificing ourselves in such trifles to the convenience and pleas. uro of others? And this constitutes true politeness. It is a perpetual. attention (by habit it grows easy and natural to us) to the little wants of those-we: are with, by which : nve tither prevent or remove them. Bowing ceremonies, formal compli ments, stiff civilities, 'will never be politeness; that must be easy, natu ral, unstudied, manly, noble. And what will give us this but a mind be nevolent, and perpetually attentive to, exert that amiable disposition in trifles toward all you converse and live with. Au exchange rays: instead of the closing anthem,some of our min isters should, at tho close of the ser vices, give the orders : , 1 Attention, worshippers ! For hats, dive! For overcoats, go ! Jerk, twist, plunge ! Make yourselves ridiculous,. all !' the cifect i would hardly be a variation from the present style of getting ready to go out of church . The sing ing of the doxology seems to be the signal for a general putting on and adjustment of overcoats, and when the benediction is about to be pro nounced the ruffled congregation look more like jumping out of the win dows, or uniting in a crashing and crowding race fur the doors thwa listening to the soletun words of the good pastor. At one of our well-filled churches, on Sunday evening, it was Observed that at least every third man was going through these ridicu lous motions while the services :were closing, although the sermon • bad been excellent. :Why do not people wait until the proper time to'do these things? There is a time for every thing, bnt that time does no always occur during church services." OF D LAPLABD AS IT-IS. ME ME VICKI LIT QIILETTIL [For the Iltrourratj. • LETTER FROM OOLtJMBIA, PA.. Commute, April 2;1,1872. MIL EDITOC, r How superlatively inadequate aro all conceptions of the vastness, wealth and power of the Keystone State, formed by a home resident of Bradford, he can never fully realize, till °he has visited this larger settled and incomparably rich er section of the Comnnnwealth. Agreeably to an intimation 'in a letter I wrote you from Harrisburg 80113.3 time since, I have been spend ing the last three weeks in Lancaster county. Driving through the South Eastern end of Dauphin county, along the Susquehanna to Middle town, and thence .by way of Eliza bethtown and Mount Joy to Lancas ter city, one travels over thirty-six miles of as rich and beautifuls farth ing country as the mythical Ceres ever vouchsafed to the husbandman. Nor 'are fertile fields and , superb farms the only. sources- of wealth. Bounteous supplies of lime and inex haustible reservoirs of ore, furnish food for the - Soil and work for the' furnace. In fact the careful observer is forc ed to the conclusion that Nature has accumulated here almost every rhloi site of soil necessary to suit the taste of the most fastidious agricultutist, and, at the same time, by its liberal mineral deposits, designed that its richest harvests should be home con sumed. Men too, have not been - al together blind to the teachings of Nature, as the many and extensive furnaces, rolling mills, foundries, iron, cotton and woolen faZtories abundantly prove. When these nick el, copper and iron ores are fully de veloped, Lancaster county will not have a bushel of wheat or a pound, of butter to send away from borne. The city_of Lancaster is pleasantly situat ed, is rather ancient, in its architectu ral aspect, boasts a population of 24,000, and, aside froth its iron and railroad interests, is by far a richer and busier place than Harrisburg. Throughout the county the people are well-to-do, .honest, intelligent and sober; are mostly • - pf German de scent, although in the Lower End " there is a large percentage of Scotch- Irish. native Germans and "Yankees.' In Columbia there are many Negroes, some of whim are quite wealthy. Your readers will remember Lan caster county as the home of Thadde us Stevens, anti the never-failing source of '6,000 Republican Majority. The " Great Commoner " is buried in Mulberry Street cemetery, and as -yet no tombstone marks his resting place. This, I believe,- is according to his own' request. The belMtiful "Home of the Dead," at the upper end of the city, where Mr. Stevens owned a lot, one would suppose a more inviting place of interment, but hero " no colored people are per mitted to bury." It is made sacred to the bones Of the white man alone. 0, modern Christianity ! But such a dedication condemned it in the es timation of the man whose practical religion was of too high an order to be the result of mere theoretical Christianity. In life true, just, hon orable, philanthropic, and great in the noblest sense of that word, in death he could not permit even - an implied sufferance to be givdn to that detestibla Spirit of caste, which not content with arrogating to itself the attributes and rights of superior being. in life; would' carry to the graveyard the same petty, cheap, pharisaical self-exaltation. James Bu chanan is also buried at Lancaster, but while he slumbers by the side of his marble monument, the passer by cannot but draw a contrast between the criminal errors of his public life and the beautiful stone which casts its shadow on his grave.. - -Columbia, where we- have been stopping for the last .two- weeks, is the furtherest point to which shad navigate the Susquehanna, and for ten days past the • town has been abundantly supplied with these su perb piscatorial dainties.' "It is de voutly to be wished " that the pro - - jected fish ladders for which the Leg islature has so bounteously provided, will prove a success, and that 'a year or two at furtherest, shad may be able to work theirown passage to Towanda.
