official statement which aavs: "There
are no large amounts of unclaimed stock
or dividends 8ltiitlin!r in our books.
There are few amount ol JCI.vXX), and
probably none that exeeed this sum by
more than 100 or 00." So much
tar the bank. 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

Townley estate ($O0.00O.tH)0). and all
the other enormous estates that so many
persons in America are trying to ob

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

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

those whom they live upon will only
ask at the right place for information
and then use the tacts for the enlighten

In one of the Bowery museums, in a
wire cage, ia a monster owl, with eyes
a big as five-dollar gold-pieces. 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. He kept on. and. while the claws
of the bird clutched the rod on which it
nerched. the eves neither winked uor
waved. Three" times he made, tlm cir
cuit ot the c.atr. kecDins his eves fixed
on those of the owl, then halted, still
eying the bird, and a perplexed look
came over his face. 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

Of all the weird stories which have

the Vntitutin, one of the most tragic
and RrnsatioiiHl has never yet seen print.
It was when Sherman was playing

Joe Johnston, on the way from Chatta-

made her appearance in Atlanta. Where
she came from no one kuews of her peo

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.

The question would have been laughed at

suspicion was hushed by the uniformly

At last Sherman' line were drawn
around the city and the people began to
experience all "the horror of a siege. The

the efforts of 'uohle women to relieve

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

It took some time to explain to the
deputation that sour peas really formed
a much-esteemed complement of boiled

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

Italy has twenty-one universities
one more than Germany, 'llicy are
divided into two classes, those wnich
receive state suonort and those which
do not. The iirst clasa include Turin.
Genoa. Pavia, Tadua, Pisa, Itologna,
Home. Naples. Palermo and Mussina.
Naples has the largest number of
ntudeuU (3.9)l). while the smallest
number (thirty-nine) is found at Fer
rara. which was mice for Italy what
Weimar was to Germany, the seat of
the createst minds of the ago, and
whirh. therefore, desneratelr clings to
tho nrivileire of being a univ-rsitv town.
Turin has Home l.if'X), llologua
1.160 students. All the others ex-ept-
iur Pavia have fewer than 1.1XW.
Futile effort have been repeatedly made
to reduce this uselessly largo number of
high schools. Theology is not taught
at any Italian university, but lectures
nn ehureh historv are inelittleU some
time iu tho philosophic course.
