Statement like this have been issued since the days when James Buchanan, then our minister in London, made some inuuiries about the mythical Kvans estate. As to unclaimed funds i in chancery, the secretary of our lega tion prepared List year a "statement, un der Minister Lowell direction, iu which he said that there wus ii the custody of the court only 1.000,000 in unclaimed r dormant funds. So much for the court of ch an eery. Where, then, are the Jettneus estate ($500,000,000). the Mosher estate (.$32. 000.000). the lii-adford estnte (f 122.000. 000). tho Lawrettee-Townlev. or Chase Townley estate ($O0.00O.tH)0). and all the other enormous estates that so many persons in America are trying to ob tain? Unquestionably they are in the moon. Those who think they are entitled to real estate or personal "property in En gland should bear in mind the follow- IBS oeeiRtTiiiuu luaua vy icjawvu nd sent to congress last year: "Anv attempt to recover real estate from the crown or individuals after a lapse of twelve years, (which may be extended to thirty under certain cir cumstances), and personal property aft. er a lapse of twenty years, however valid the claim of the person making the attempt may have been originally. is certain to end in failure. Persons who have been led to believe tuat thev are entitled to estates or funds in Holland should read a report recent ly made bv Mr. Bell, our minister at The ll.isue. He describes the law of 1&52 which provided for the escheating of all unclaimed estates within a speci fied time, and adds: "The law has ef fectually and finallv disposed of all un claimed funds and estates in this conn try originating prior to March. 1852. There has. therefore, since 1852, been no such thing iu Holland as an unclaim ed estate originating prior to that date." If thousands of deluded Americans who dream of enormous estates in for eion lands to which they are the riglit fut heirs would only consult an honest and intelligent lawyer or diligetulv read some good newspaper they would save some niouey and a great deal of time. There are men who for many years have made good livings outof the delusions of these people, but the swin dlers can be defeated and exposed if those whom they live upon will only ask at the right place for information and then use the tacts for the enlighten ment of others who have been dupea.

A solemn-looking man wandered from the serpent's deu to the owl" cage, and his eye met those of the captive bird. A hie walked around the cage the big. flat eyes of the owl remained fixed upon him.

Again he started on, with quicker step, and as otten as h made the circuit of the cage he o.losd one fins-cr of his oihmi hand. After he doubled over seven lingers an attendant in the museum came up and asked him what it was all about- io "way," said the man without taking his eyes from the owl, and he kept on around till he had closed the other finger and both thumbs. Then he halted, aud still keeping his eyes fixed on those of the owl. he said: "i've walked around that owl ten times since 1 began counting, and three or four times before, and he hasn't taken his eyes off me yet. nor let go the nerrh with" his claws. He ought to be pretty near wound up, hadn't he?" The mu.euni man tliouglitthe stranger was a crank, and went off to attend to some boys who were pestering the monkey. With the observation that he could keep on walking as long as the owl could keep turning his head around without letting go with his claws, the stranger started on. He made eight or ten more circuits and then halted, and waited to see the owl's head fly back like a piece of twisted india-rubber. But the owi's eyes remained fastened upon him with a piacid look. "Well, that beats me," said the man, and he disappeared down the siairway. What puzzled the man has been a nuzzle to naturalists also. One of the solution is that after each turn the owl's head fliea back so quickly that the human eye can not detect the move menu A. T. bun. Obviously, the African is progressive or nothing.

Of all the weird stories which have been told of the siege of Atlanta, says the Vntitutin, one of the most tragic and RrnsatioiiHl has never yet seen print. It was when Sherman was playing hide ami seek with tho army of General Joe Johnston, on the way from Chatta- nooira. that a woman of ravishing beauty made her appearance in Atlanta. Where she came from no one kuews of her peo ple she never spoke; but it was surmised by some ladies who had gotten near her that she bore some secret sorrow, per haps the saerlllce of some loved one on the bloody fields of irirlnia. Day by day tralu load ot wounded confederate reached Atlanta from the front. The ladles of the city engaged in hospital work with a real worthy the sisters anil wives of brave men. Zealous as all were in this Work. Miss Km ma. which was tho only name by which she was generally known, became noteu be cause of her endim n e and fidelity.

Notwithstanding all tin, the eye or aiisnlclon fell noon her. as she a spyT The question would have been laughed at bv most neoiile. and yet there were those who detected in her manner some thimr which thev did not like. But this suspicion was hushed by the uniformly philanthropic work In which ails ianma was engaged. At last Sherman' line were drawn around the city and the people began to experience all "the horror of a siege. The sick Bitd the dying were multiplied, aud the efforts of 'uohle women to relieve them became exhausted. Mis Emma grew pale with her excessive work. Best she declined to take while a wound was to be bandaged or a dying man longed for kind word. The sound of revelry wa often heard amid the din of battle! Even when the people were driven into their bomb proof they sang and danced, for they recognized the philosophy of driving grief away by pleasure. Balls, some what impromptu, it l true, were given. ml the ladies looked more charming in their confederate toilets than they could ave looked in silks. The officer were alwavs the beam of such occasions, for eautv is attracted by bravery. To these gatherings Miss Kmma never went, but there came a tune when sne was pressed to go. The colonel ot a gallant infantry regiment had invited her to a bomb-proof ball.

The kind lady with whom Mis huitna lodged did not awake until the sun was an hour high next day. She had not heard Miss Emma enter, but no dream of harm entered her mind. She determined not to disturb the poor lady. but to let her sleep on, for did not her faithful service entitle her to rest? There were excited crowds upon the street. Orderlies on horseback uasneu to and fro. The roar of Sherman s ar tillery was becoming more and more terrific. There wa something In the air hich announced that a crisis was im minent. But still the lady slept. The hour was growing late, and the excitement of the jieople outside wa in- Creasing.

I am indeed gratified to hear it. 1 am do a little I was chatting witu the captain of an Allan liner at sea a couple of years ago when there approached a deputation of north of Ireland emigrants. They came to complain ot an "extraordinary mess" which ihat day had been served in the steerage for dinner. The spokesman was a'voluble person, who interlarded the narrative of his grievance with easy familiar allusions to the powers and ter rors of the board of trade when these were exercised in the cause of the "poor emigrant." "Brine up the dish," said the captain to the steerage steward. A large kit of boiled leg of mutton, with caper sauce, still hot aud appetiz ing, was produced. -What's the matter with this?" asked the commander. "Shurc. need ye ask?" replied the head of the deputation, pointing, with an expression of horror, to the little green berries in the succulent sauce. "Doyethiuk emigrant passengers are hathens and baste that ye should give us mution stewed with sour pase?"

Poor Emma was dead murdered! But by whom? The window overlooking the garden was raised. The footprints of several ! men were visible, and the box upon , which they stood in order to reach the j window was still in place. It was evi- j dent that after the poor girl had met her death her body was quietly carried back, ! passed through the window and the re- i main arranged upon the sofa with an eve to every detail which might have an effect. Not an article of jewelry was missing. Everything was in place. But Sherman's men were entering the city. The gallant confederates were re treating. Confusion reigned supreme. In the general stampede which followed lesser sensations were forgotten. When at last the smoke of battle had cleared away and people returned to rebuild their fortunes the fate of the murdered woman was recalled and three theories were maintained. One was that during the ball a shrap nel shell had penetrated the retreat, and, exploding, killed Miss Emma. The second was that on her way home she had been outraged and murdered by her escort. The third was that she was a federal spy; that she was tasked with her identity, and that she had all along been furnishing Sherman with important in formation. Enraged by her treachery the men sentenced her to death and exe cuted the sentence. Her body was then hurriedlv returned to the room from which she had emerged the evening be fore joyous and beautiful. But it was too lute to investigate.
