an interesting case wherein are disputed wills and all the accompaniments of a thrilling romance an interesting will case will at an early session of the court be tried in chatham several years ago mr fuucett left an estate to his children of whom there were four unmarried and oner-mrs bryan — married the four unmarried heirs made wills wherein each one bequeathed every thing to the other unmarried one that survived wben the ftr»t one died his estate ya divided equally among the other three when the second one died am went to the re rnaingiug two and bo on at last the only survivor of the four was mr william faucett who himself died without issue in 1883 not one of the four who made these wills left issue ; and on the death of mr wil liam faucett the property of all four was inherited by his married sister mrs bryan a part of the property thus inheri ted by mrs bryan is stock m the raleigh national bank she in company with mr bryan carce to this city on saturday to transfer a portion of this stock to a purchaser here judge reade however refused to allow the taansfer to be made be cause he had been notified that the bank-stock is disputed property and he eould in consequence allow no dis position of it until the contest should be settled the contest is this : mm emma v moring wife of hon john mor ing is akin to mrs bryan and she claims that she has a will of the late william faucett made subsequently to the will whereby mrs bryan re ceived his property and that the last will makes the children of mrs mor ing the heirs the fact that mr faucett died at the asylum for the insane will add complications to the case it involves a long string of most unusual evtnts and will be made the more interest ing too because the value of the pro perty iuvelved is great mrs bryan consulted mr c m busbee and mr john moring is the attorney i'©r jmrs moring — kal chronicle - — i m m a remarkable defence how a boy beenme a thief by reason of his nurture louisville ky t dec 10 — the novel spectacle of a kleptomaniac on trial was witnessed this morning in the city court the crime with which heath was charged the larceny of a couple of sealskin cloaks was admit ted by the defence but the plea urg ed was that the accused being a klep tomaniac could not be held responsi ble for the act the first witness introduced to prove the prisoner's peculiar weakness was the boy's own lather lie was told to relate the conditions and circumstances under which his sou was born he then testified to the fact that the boy was born on may 21 1863 at lexing ton his mother was an intense con federate she went through the city of lexington begging for the soldiers and accepting anything from a pos tage stamp up and thus it was that the unfortunate son was born in the miilst of the intense feeling and pre judice consequent upon the war the mother had so worn herself down by mental excitement aud labor for the southern soldiers that after the birth of her child she uwas nable to raise it the doctors said that unless the child received milk from the breast it could not live a colored wet nurse was hired and about the time the child was old enough to be weaned she was discovered to be an incorrigi ble thief and thus had the child drawn in with the life giving fluid ateds of a most deplorable habit it is claimed that he has always been a thief and that his father has spent the most of his fortune in preventing his little thefta from coming into court a good natured but unnecessary dental to the llaleigh chronicle having seen in your paper a paragraph signed kepublican stating that maj mack uobbins and gen bob vance both were candidates for the revenue collect ship in the 5th district i naked tlio ma jor about it he replied : i suspect ike young started that it sounds like one of his jjood humored roorbacks and i'm glad defeat hasu't deadened his inventive faculties wouldn't it be a rich sight bob vance aud myself aspiring to boss the still houses ! some good democrat will have to fill the collectorship ; but asfor myself rather than accept that or auy other place iu the revenue service i'd hunt possums for a livelihood what i long for is to see the whole hateful system speedily blowu sky high or down the other way would do as well ;— and i guess my old friend bob is of the same mind ' ikedell american queens the suggestion lias been ruaile that mr cleveland could signalize his ad vent to the presidency ia no more startliug manner than by inviting to assist at his first receptions the three ladies who still survive the experience of having presided over the white house under democratic administra tions these ladies are mrs polk mrs tyler and mrs harriet lane johnston mrs polk resides at polk place nashville tenn and is now in her eighty-second year mrs ty ler is still-a brilliant woman of lew than sixty and live r.mong a boat of friends in richmond va mrs har riet iujine johnston who was mistress of the white house during her uncle's buchanan's administration is as is wel known a resident in baltimore she is always spoken of in washing ton as one of the most brilliant women of its social history she married mr henry elliott johnston of baltimore some time in 18gg there is still employed at the white house an old man who was there when mrs tyler came there as the president's bride and he points with pride to her picture hanging in the green room and tells the visitors she was a pretty woman she was the correspondent was talking with this old servant recently and asked him if he didn't remember mrs polk also and he replied as follows very well indeed she was a handsome and fascinating woman a prominent english lady visiting here said she had seen three queens in eu rope that none could compare with mrs polk she was very popular so much so that a south carolinian once said to her during one of her re ceptions that there was a woe pro nounced against her in the bible she inquired with some concern — for she was a deeply religious woman — what it was when he replied well the bible says woe unto you when all men speak well of you it seemed to be a very appropriate remark for it seems that everybody did speak well of her she was extremely pop ular the same old-timer's face lighted up with pleasure when miss harriet lane's name was mentioned do i remember her why it was wily a little time ago only twenty-seven years since she came here she was a beautiful accomplished queenly young woman a perfect picture as she stood beside her white-haired bache lor uncle who had been so long a father to her and whom she loved with the most earnest affection it was hard to understand why one so young could have seeu so much of the world she hail when she came to the white house seen all thut there was worth seeing of the courts of eu rope having been for years with her uncle at the court st james espe cially honored and beloved by the queen mr buchanan was very fond of her though he use to like to tease her with some quiet good-natured stories of her girlish days when she was quite a romp i remember how he used to tell about her beating some young man in a foot race and also about her wheeling a load of wood through the streets of the town where she lived to give it to some poor ojd wonam she had many admirers and many offers of marriage before she met mr johnson mrs johnston by the way visited washington only a few weeks ago she is now visiting friends in cincinnati in the czar's domains what pountry life in russia really w the remark that he who knows only st petersburg and moscow has not seen russia was accentuated in my experience when on my way to cen tral asia i accepted an invitation to a nobleman's seat in the russian in terior writes a correspondent of the london limes previous journeys to the extremites of the empire has brought me in contact with diverse races along the high roads but i was anxious to see what the peasant was like not when shouting long life to the czar under the walls of the kremlin but when buried at home out of reach of steamer or railway whistle and miles away from a post road a telegraph station or a post office with interest therefore after driving over dusty roads the whole of a summer night i found myself in the early morning approaching my desti nation you must not expect to find anything peculiarly russian about the house my friends had said for it is a new structure of elizabethau archi tecture aud so from the outside it waa one might have fancied it a kentish mansion purchased for x50 000 and set down in the middle of u russian estate the interior of the house was'aonie what more adapted to muscovite ideas in that the rooms open one into the other and the sleeping apartments of the family could be cut off from the rest the materials of the house had ' been obtained for the most part on the spot the bricks were burnt on the estate and the handsome carving and wainscoting of tt hall were of indig enous timber some of the ornamen tation howtytr was from abroad the panels oo the drawing-room walls were filled with immense italian paint ings and the room of my hostess was hnng with large photographs of the masterpieces of raphael in keeping with this was the intel lectual culture of the family english was spoken by parents and children all day long and french german and russian when required in the morning we read wrote and took horse exercise and in the evening we were enlivened with classical music after which it was but a step out of the drawing-room doors on to the spa cious terrace to look in tbe gloaming over one of those vast russian plains which can hardly be called beautiful but which are striking to an english man by reason of their vastness and mil ikeness to anything he sees at home the mansion was built on a hill at the foot of which a river meandered containing trout and perch ; and in tervening were terraced lawns and grounds covered in their seasons with homely buttercups and daisies at well as forget-me-nots wild-roses and lil ies of the valley the grouuds were planted not indeed with conifers for there are none on the estate but with tall poplars and sturdy oaks up to two feet in diameter clusters of pliant wil lows and graceful birch together with lime beech and elm these trees are a refuge for the cuckoo thrush and nightingale while a little further off in the forests are to be found among birds rooks and crows ravens hawks and eagles and among animals hares foxes and wolves but it was not the mansion that in terested me so much as its surround ings the estate consisted of about 25,000 acres of which one-fifth is for est and one-twentieth pasture the soil varying between good black earth loam sand loam and sand with clay beneath and in some parts of all clay it furnishes no building stone but plenty of alabaster which remains however unworked growing wild were to be found horse-radish rasp berries strawberries black currauts and fruit called rebina while on the cultivated lands wheat was said to thrive but not barley and buck wheat rye oats peas flax aud hemp | beans too are grown in gardens and j tobacco i inquired of conr.se the cost of this produce and found that on the spot for the pood of thirty-six english pouud9 wheat and buck wheat s»ld for 2v rye is 8d ; oats is 4d ; potatoes 7d a bushel and hay from 2£d to 4d the pood this last being of tolerable quality but not comparable to english fodder ordi nary land yields from twenty five to thirty-five poods of hay an acre and the better sort from fifty to seventy with sometimes a second crop the estate was inhabited by about 1,000 families living ra wooden thatched houses usually of two rooms only built wfteu of willow of which a log thirty feet long and ten in ches in diameter costs a couple of shillings the outer bark of the tree used for roofing and the inner bark for matting and ropes the houses were furnished only scantily twenty in the home village might each per haps possess a bed but not one of them a bed and bedstead too it was common however for a family to pos sess a cow one or more horses and three or four sheep ; a good specimen of the last weighing 40 to 50 pounds and its wool selling for from 4 a to oil per pound the food of the peasants was extremely simple consisting of rye bread and stchee or soup of cab bage and fat ; soaked and boiled buck wheat eaten with hempseed ail mush rooms curd and onious for drink they consume kvas small beer made from rye bread and here aud there tea though this latter has not become general among them beef was a del icacy aud cost 2d per pound mutton lid and pork 2£d chickens sold from 2i to 4d each ducks for 5d geese for 20d while extravagant per sons feasted on turkeys at 2-t each the clothing of the peasantry was in keeping with their food a man's summer suit consists of a cotton shirt a pair of linen trousers and shoes of lime-tree bark the last costing od per pair if a peasant aspires to high boots they cost him from 12 to 44 and he pays about the same price tor his homespun kaltan while in the winter his sheepskin shouba or coat may cost him from 16s to 30s — dear er i may remark than i paid at khiva where common ihuubs could be had for 10s each ~ — 7 a chemist in deumark who has been experimenting with the use of blood as food for cattle has recently
