We find the following curious case of j
the. effect of what is commonly called
"tying up by will" in an exchange, and
as it has been already well condensed, we
give it entire:
Fifty years ago ex-Governor McArthur, j
of Ohio, died and left a property worth
sevral millions. By his will the estate
was not to be divided until the youngest
grandchild should reach the age of 21
years, and then it was to be divided equ
ally among them all. But the grandchil
dren kept coining, and the older children
saw no chance of getting anything during
their natural lives if they had to wait for
others to be born and attain their majori
ty. So they asked for a division of the
property, which was accomplished after
tifty years delay. A dozen of the best
lawers in Ohio, including Stanley Mat
thews, are arguing the case before Judge
Swryne, sitting as United States Supreme
Judge, and the suit willgo to the Supreme i
Court for a final decision, no matter what
the decision of Swayne may be.
There is one county in the state of
Pennsylvania of which prohibitionist are
proud. We refer to Potter county, in
which there has not been a licensed saloon
for twenty years. The clerk of the courts
and other citizens unite in saying their
jail lias not averaged one occupant during
that time; but one person has been sent
to the penitentiary, only two paupers in
the poor house. Their taxes are thirty
five per cent, lower than they are in the
adjoining counties where saloons are li
censed. Their circuit court only occu
pies three or four days each year, and
dockets are closed. If prohibition does
not prohibit, pray tell us what it does do,
with such facts as these before us?— Star
of Hope.
The Heading railroad has just put on
its line a new style of locomotive which
consumes as fuel coal dust instead of coal.
The {Philadelphia Record, in describing
it, says; "The cabin is perched way up
on top of the boiler, like a saddle on a
long-bodied horse. It is not so clumsy
as the old camel-backs which were used
on that road for years, but its oddity
draws the attention of the traveller. The
locomotive has four drive wheels, each
five feet seven inches in diameter. The
fire box is eight feet long by four and a
quarter feet wide. The engine is capable
of a speed of seventy-five miles an hour,
ami by consuming the dust makes a great
saving in the item of fuel."
A patient, persevering printer of Otta
wa, Ills., has contrived, with an ordinary
steel pen, and without the aid of any mag
nifying power, to transcribe the whole of
the sixth and seventh chapter of the gos
pel of St. Mathew and the first and thirty
eighth verses of the first chapter of St.
John, besides some remarks of the writer,
on a postal card. In this little space there
are no less than 2,180 words, clearly and
legibly written. The card thus contains
more matter than is usually written on
twenty sheets of note paper.
The bill introduced in the House by
Mr Croffrotli of this State proposes a rad
ical change in the method of filing appli
cations and procuring pensions. He says
its objects are to simplify the method of
procuring pensions so as to expedite the
clearing up of the multitude of claims
now pending in the Commissioner of
Pension's office and to enable deserving
and needy pensioners to speedily procure
a future monthly pension.
