From this showing ho argues that matrimony restrains men from crime , and ought therefore to be encouraged by legislation and otherwise. Mr. Stephen Hurkc , of Minneapolis , has had a ruling ambition since his marriage , twouty-Jlvo yeai s ago , to have thirteen chil dren in his family , and , by a singular coinci dence , the thirteenth was born on the Kith day of last month. "Happy he , " says Thor- e.iu , "whoso aspirations never stray beyond this homo circle.

The minister , to malto things oven , confessed to being eighty-four years old. The local paper alludes to the bride and groom as "early" settlers. A fortune-toller told Mrs. Dcdolfto Hil- dlnger of Chicago that she would leave her husband- after quarioling with him , and fall In love and run nway with another man. Not to arouse the wrath of Fa to , Mrs. Hll- diugcr whaled her hubby , and then shipped with n "dailc , handsome Swinish cavalier , " as the fortune-teller predicted. A young clergyman , not for from Harlem , bolng on the eve of maniageaml not wishing to trouble and of his clerical brcthorn wrote to the bishop , inquiring If ( as ho had already published the bunas from Ills own pulpit ) ho could marry himself.

MILLIONS EATEN UP. How Vast KstiUos Vanish lu Fees. New York Journal : "Ah ! how many arc rioting on dead men's millions ! ' ' This was , the exclamation of a con servative lawyer of prominence in speaking of the management of largo estates which the machinery of the courts is invoked to bettlo. Behind the names of Slovens , Stokes , Cutting , Stewart , Anderson. Ilamors- lofy , .Itimel , Colah. Iloyt. Wood , Souttcr. Tilden , Oilman , Paine , Lenox and Shel don Ho recitals of morp entrancing in terest and of btrange situations than any portrayed by the novelist. Property valued at tons of millions of dollars is at present in litigation in the surrogate court. Lawyers will not openly acknowledge that they desire to 1 > rolong this legal btrifo , but that this purpobo is close at their hearts is well known. The estate pays the oxpcnoes of litigation , and while anything is left the conbcicntioiiB attorney finds that it is necessary to make homo further move "in tlio intercbt of bis client. " It is the old btory of dividing the oys ter each litigant takes a bbell and the lawyer takes the meat. When a man dies , leaving his heirs $100,000 to fight over , the proper divihion of the cbtato according to the legal coiibcience is al most as follows : Legal fees and costs , $00X)0 ( ) ; disbursements and ineidontals , $7.000 ; heirs , 1,000. The heirs arc not always as fortunate ns this extreme oa&e would indicate. Facts from the record will bhow this : An Oriental merchant , who rejoiced in tin * picturesque name of Domanjoo Byranjeo Colah , visited in this city eighteen years ago. IIo wont on a spree and got locked up in a coll. The polieo found $10,000 in paper money and golden on his person , and an examination of his room in the IIolTman house bhowod that bo had an ndditiodal $ ( iO)00 ( ) there. IIo was a btrangor in a strange land , and fair game for the lawyers. They charged that the Parsee merchant was a lunatic , and that it was ncccbsary to appoint a committee to take charge of himself and his monoy. Nathaniel Tarvis , jr. , who ib a lawyer in addition to being elork of tlio court of common picas , was the man who got the 8100,000 in charge , The Parsee was sent to Bombay , where ho died , at a cost of 8&5.000. Mr. .Tarvis reported to the court that the balance ho had on hand was exactly & 3U.OH , Samuel Wood , after whom the town of Woodbburg , L , I. , is named , died in IhTH , leaving a fortune estimated at $2,000,000. By specific bequests lie loft $231,000 , to relatives , and the balance was to bo expended in founding a college - lego of iiuihiu. The college will novnr bo founded , for two good reasons the hequcbt lias boon declared illegal and tlio money has boon cnton up by ex penses. Tlio little item of $1,100,000 of the estate has vanished. Eight differ ent attorneys and as many eminent counsel have been operating on the eb- tate "in the interest of the college of music" for ton years past , and this faet tollb the story. Jcbbo Jloyt , tl.o famous produce mer chant of this city , died in 1882 , leaving $8,000,000. Ho left the income of $ l,2oO,000 for tlio use of his widow dur ing life , and tlio biuno sum to his eccen tric daughter , Mary Ireno. They were dissatisfied and half a dozen lawyers were culled in , among thoin General Benjamin I < \ Butler and Roscoe Conk- ling.

She was not eon lent , and there has been a constant .scene of legal squabbles o\er since , and tboro is no probability that they will bo ended in her lifetime. The Duchess U'Auxy FCOIUS to like the lawyers also. Uoforc she became a duchess she was Mrs. Charlotte Soutter , the wife of Robert Souttor. Her charges of fraud in the management of the es tate occupied the courts for years. Litigation ever the millions left by Samuel J. Tilden is likely to occupy the balance of the in-cpont contury. The conti.'bt is ever the clauses providing for Tildon libraries in this city , Yonkers , and New Lebanon , at a cost of $4,000- 000. 000.Tho The famous Nathaniel Oilman estate has been before the courts for thirty years , and the lawyers arc not likely to tire as long as a penny is left. The light over the' $1,000,000 loft by Cornelius S. V. Roosevelt has just been settled by the good sense of the rela tives and to the chagrin of the hiivyors , and the same is true of the estate of Harvey Sheldon. A HIGHLY-COLORED EASTER. Tlio Choir of tlm North He nil Colored Church Iniliilge in KKtr-Tlirowint ; . Now York Journal : "Wo want to getup up an Easter festival. Sister Brown , " bald the Rov. Xacariah Wright , the col ored pastor of the colored church at North Bond , who had ju t arrived there , and wo want all the congregation to help us.1' They all wont to work with a will , and after many days wivMling with Kastor hymns everything was in readi ness for the great festival. Knch nioiii- bor of the choir was sure that bis or her singing would make angelb pause to listen. Easier camo. The regular Sunday services were ever and the congrega tion was invited to stay and hear the anthems. Fiom the church they were to adjourn to a largo , empty burn , in which refreshments wore spread , Every member of that congregation brought a basket of dyed eggs , bo that , after church , they could tofiuor or crack oggb , according to an ohl-timo custom at North Bond. In fact , the place was famous for its "egg lights , " which were really a mania with the population , old and young , and ono octogonerlan act ually had his palsied hands hold by others while ho took part in the fray. The Te Douin began well , but as it progrobbod , to tlio leader's horror , El- vir.Masior's . voice , more powerful and dibcordant than ever , ro&o high above tlio others. The choir bhoutod until they were hoarse , with frowning faces turned upon the ollcndor. It was a war of voices , from which all melody had gone , hut the straining was useless , itcv.
