WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5. Political Point. Fall In. Robeson. Give ua a New rumor In regard to the United States tmsarvstlp. Piper, tbe Boeton belfry marderer, will dance to bis own music Tbe sheriff will tall tbe charges. A boct Is eaid to be poised for the purpoar s of facilitating several exits from tbe New York custom bouse. Whatever Grant was as a soldier, he fcas probably prove n the worst cabinet-maker that ever went Into the business. .The British lion still keeps bis paw cn Wlnslow, deepU the flonnderlrgs ot our lchtbyolopical secretary of state. London has revived tbe once famous Beefsteak Club. The members will confine themeelves s'rlctly to bull-teef. Mr. Lawrence Barrett, the actcr, is getting to be a sort of Admirable Crlchton. Oh, that he could gtt to be that kind of an actor. The Mobile Register propounds the conundrum "Can they save Spsncer?" Of course they can't. Salt won't Bave hlaa. Speaking of the Keeley motor, what bes become of the water power of the beautiful blonJe ol the Cincinnati Gazette. The fund required for skirmishing throagh Delmonlco'a dining rooms, at tne hands ol Fenians by O'Donovan Rosas, is getting burdensome. Ames has re-packed his carpet-bag. He will probably attempt to dodge the political pTague which is proving so fatal to his party by emigration. The Connecticut Republicans shout lor tried men to be placed in power, So far, those tried have been placed In the power of the penitentiary wardens or are under bonds. General Sherman, being eomewhat particular in regard tr bis association, don't want to go to Washington, but on tte same account would like to get out of St. Louis. A Republican paper says tbe presidential candidate of that party must be a man who bas been tried as by fire. This is evidently an obscure way of declaring the editor's preference for Morton. In a late editorial, the Chicago InterOcean says: "We have written a great deal about the matter." This port of thing is altogether too common In ttat paper to be worthy of special mention. A St. Louis gentleman complains that he is pursued with the malignity of an exasperated wafp. We get this from the Globe-Democrat, and suggest the amendment of the trodden on "worm." II the Cincinnati Times could manage to get out a sheet iron edition and run It circulation over Into eternity, the world wouldn't lose much and those in torment who can read might get a few moments sleep. Notwithstanding the extraordinary exertions used to keep the kinks out of the Globe-Demoerat'a tow line, its coils are constantly assuming the form of a 'a till worm, much to the annoyance ot the pulling power. Daniel Drew' will hardly dodge the mortgage the D 1 has on him on account of his Wall street bull and bear fights, b;y I reason or nis cnaritaore promises io pa. . Dan needs influence with the Babcock Extinguisher Company. There is a bird in Peru to which the natives have given the beautiful name of Alma Perdl da (the lost soul), who?e cry is exceedingly melancholy. Belknap proposes to import one of these fowls so that he can learn to whistle its tune. Ben Butler will oppose Dr. J. C. Ayer lor Congress in tbe seventh Massachusetts district. If the doctor will liberally treat B9n.'s friends to some of his (Ajers) most popular medicine, tbe night before election, he may get to Congress. The prince of Wales is said to possess a remarkably childlike and bland expression, but be consumes more midnight kerosene studying the literary effort oi Scbenck's life than did ever Blaine perusing the pages ofCushing's Manual. The Globe-Democrat recently published an editorial on tbe "Iron and Steel Association of America." What It knows about iron may be questionable, but its knowledge of the steal association Is doubtless unsurpassed by any journal In tbe country. The Chicago Inter-Ocean recently indicated the character of a column editorial by heading it "A Work of Fiction." This line was an entire waste of space, as it long since came to be generally understood that a majority of tbe I.-O.'s editorials are of that character. The governments ot Hesse Darmstadt and Brunswick, acd those of most of tbe Tburinglan grand duchies and principalities, it Is understood, favor tbe imperial railway scheme; but tbe question 1, how well Informed are they on tbe SchleswigHolstein question. Blaine la raid to be strong among the Iowa Republican?, and Hendricks among the Democrats. Morton's financial trimming has weakened him In tbe pat 1 mat ion of many of Uae lowani. Courier-Journal. Mississippi sends to tbe Cincinnati convention fourteen out of sixteen delegates for ' Morton. He is stronger with tbe blacks of Mississippi than he Is with tbe whites ol Illinois and Ohio. As we hare not been asked to take the czar's place, we are inclined to think that rumors in regard to his abdication are groundless. . If Mr. Romanoff's duties have become burdensome beyond bearing, ve will, however, spare him for a few dajs if he de ires it.'But be mot instruct thnf grand duke not to fool with us In tb meantime, as it might become necessary to nsa them at cushions la case they inter-

fered. We are not particular In this matter, hut would be willing to help tbe old Cossack out as a side Issue while we are feeling the Sick Man's pulse. One of the etafl ol the Rochester Democrat, having by three weeks' lrugality ac

quired sufficient currency to supply himself with an outfit, wants tbe Black Hills territory admitted to the Union under tbe name of Monte-Negro. He desires to name tbe country tor his buslnees and his servant. Tbe St. Louis Republican wants to know what has become of Stanley? Why, Stanley is waiting at Ujijl until tbe g!as3 factories of the country can turn out tbe casing capacity required to contain the bottled goods necessary to the outfit of a first clasj explorer. Explorer don't tke kindly to the beverage turned off by the water Bhed. Speaking of the rumor relative fo the proposed purchase of the Tribune, Mr. Dana says "he is not an idiot and that Robert Bonner is net an idiot." This may do as regards Bonner, but how long since a man has been allowed to testify in his own behalf in the state oi New York on a question of this kind? The Chicago Inter-Ocean says : "Character is what is wanted for candidates during the coming campaign." It they are not particular as to the quality of the article, tbe Republican party can furnish enough in a bad and damaged condition to start B9elz9bub la business after having taken the benefit of tbe bankrupt act. A St. Louis paper has undertaken the elucidation of the Darwinian theory. It ha? btea for a long time believed thai if corroborative evidence of Mr. Darwin's belief was ever discovered that it would be in tbe editorial rooms of a St. Louis paper. The great scientist can now complete his chain, as tbe missing link has been found. If Belknap can only prove that he ne rer received money as a bribe for the procurement of the Fort Sill tradersbip, no matter how muca blackmail he may have received for its retention, he can dodge the penalty. It Is the Jsqaes Frochard plea over again, "You lie, it was a cloak I" Like tbe Frenchman, he can exclaim, re people they say yes, but Z9 court house say no. Ab, ha There are many crooked transactions between the government and the Indians, besides tbe generals' raids. There is a bill pending in Congrecs to swindle them out of the lands in the Indian country by extinguishment of title through creation of a ttiritory. We rob them and then give no show by sending against them such warriors as Fred Grant to keep down their natural ire. Sam. Bowles is firm in tbe belief that Charles F. Adams is the Identical Individual who became a journeyman tailor as the result of losing his situation as a gardener. Sammy's hallucination extends to the belief that tbe garden ol Eden was located somewhere in tbe Connecticut river bottom, and that tbe Berpent referred to was nothing more than an over grown tobacco worm. Grant says that he is determined to punish Belknap for accepting presents and giving oCice3 in return. Oh, the Spartan virtue of this man. How can one say that our republican institutions are threatened while such an unbribable patriot holds tbe helm of the ship of state. As it is getting Into deep water, Jfew iounaiana pups had tter be forwarded hereafter In lieu ot tha tonrine SDecles, Tbe Manchester Mirror says "no gang of rebel traitors shall ever rnle this country or rob its treasury." If the friends ot the present administration get in their work as successfully from now to tbe time of Grant's retirement as they have heretofore since he was ca'led to disgrace tbe White Bouse, there won't be cash enough left In the treasury to pay halt fare express rates on a bull-pup from Baltimore to Washington. Tbe Black Hills excitement continues to rise without apparent reason or motive. Adventurers are rushing in by thousands. There is, Indeed, a mine of wealth for some in this wild rush to the mountains, but not for the gold hunters themselves. The hotels, saloons and supply stores are coining wealth. This unreasoning stampede in ssarch of visionary wealth is a curious feature of American character. At this time the impulse is vastly augmented by the lack ot employment at home, the depression of business and the urgent teed of thousands whose way to fortune seems for the moment to be effectually barred. Many will take dubious chances at a distance In preference- to certain idleness at home. But at the bottom of it all is excitement, that strange and Indescribable feeling which draws one away tc distant scenes which imagination paints in bright but fallacious colors. Col. Wm. M. Grovesnor, the political Hcaüan, is a fine rhetorician. He recently wrote: " I hare seen the flash of the eye, the clinch of tbe band, and heard the old yell," referring to Confederate cheering while charging. The colonel finely exemplifies the statement that "tbe pen is mightier than the sword." As there may be these Incredulous in regard to his statement above quoted, perhaps the colonel wouldn't object to tbe publication of a copy of his discharge from tbe army. Upon second thought we are inclined to think, however, that tbe world will never seethe document which made a civilian ol this Falstaffian blusterer through his Instrumentality. William's record is not such as to warrant the assumption on his part of the character of bloody shirt color bearer or that of preacher of " the gospel of bate." Whatever wrong tbe rebels may have done to the government it If certain that he never suffered personal injury at their hands as he never staid in thf ir vicinity, knowingly, long enough to get hurt.

A FIGHT FOR A FORTUNE.

A MUCH-LITIGATED ESTATE. law surra fob rinksN tkak, $150,000 SPKST AND THI SND KOT TKT OSB MILUO I5VOLVXD. The New York Tribune says: Nathaniel Gllman died In Waterville, Maine, in December, 1859, leaving about fl,000,000. In his will be provided that the esUts should be divided into ten equal share?, among his children, to be paid at the age of 25 yeais. To his widow he left for ber use one-third part of a bocse in Clinton street, Brooklyn, with tbe furniture and plate, a horse and chsis, W4tcb chains, portrait, diamonds, and f 10 -000 in cash. Besides this be l-ft 25,000 t be invebtedIour per cett. of the lLt3rt st to be given to her for her use, and the rest to be aided to tbe principal. Tbe testator hai been married twice and had children by each wife. Us also gave to the U!-e of bis widow and her children tbe rents and profits of a hotel and two utores. Should bis wile contest the will, he ordert d that tbe cash accounts set aside lor her and her children's US3 should be divided among all of his children. He named a executors Georee F., Charles B., and Anna K. U;lmai, I-aac ltdl p'on, Edward McCiellan and Summer Pf rcita!, the three last named te'.ng sone-io-law. Tbe testator was an extensive leather merchant in this city, but b's residence at the time of his death, it is claimed by the younger chiläran, was at Waterville. THE FIRST LITIGATION 12 THE ESTATE grew out of this, and tbe question was raised as to where the will should te probated. The body was removed to New York for burial, and the eldir cbildrec obtained possession of the will and had it probated Here. The will was long contested, and during tbe contest Cyrus Curtis was appointed by the Surrogate receiver of tbe estate. The will was finally admitted to probate May 24, 1861, but there bas been litigation ever since. Shortly alter trie death of Mr. Oilman his widow filed a petition in tbe Probate Couit of Kennebec county, Maine, for the ettting epait of a sum of money in lien o; dower, and was allowed $75,000. George F. Gilman, the Benior executor, Appealed from this to tbe 8u pre rue Court, which sffirmed tbe order of tbe Court of Probate and increas d the allowance to 85,000. The widow tben trough! suit in tbe Supreme Court of New York agalc&t tne executois to oitain tbe morjey. Sne a:so began an action in the CirciTi' Court of the Uni:ed States sgainst Geort F. Gilman to recover tbe amount on promis-ory note given by him to Nathaniel Gilman. Soon alter the beginning oi thtsa actions W. W. Gilman and George G. Percival (ore of tbe grandsons) com menced an action against tbe widow to restrain tbe prosecutions of- the two actions brought by her. Tbe trials RESULTED IN A DECISION FOR THE PLAIXTIFFS. After the' trial negotiations were entered into tor an adjustment of all matters in difference. Tbe result was the execution of a compromise agreement between all tbe parties except Anna K. Gilman, the executrix asd heir, who was absent in Europe. The agreement proposed to cive the widow, in addition to about 20,000 already received by ber, the sum of $10,000 and her costs aud coursel fees, in all about $50,000, io lull settlement of her claim?. It also proposed to annul the several suits pending, and that all judg ments against any ot tbe parties should be canceled: that aa accomt should be made, an inventory rendered. and tbe estate be dis tributed. Tbe date ot tbis agreement was November 1, 1S72. In a suit brought in the United states Circuit Court by Anna K. Gilman against George F. Gilman aud other., tbe plaintiff states in her complalLt that It was the duty of tbe defendants to file an inventory of the assets of tte estate, which they tailed to do until August 13, 1868, which inveLtory r pre sented aocnt foou.uuu in cash and ap praised values, mesa Bbe claims proved to be in fact worth a much larger sum. The complaint also assert that tbe defend ants were negligee t and culpable in tbe management of the estate, and wasted large amounts in UNNECESSARY AKD DILATORY LITIGATION; that McClellan employed assets of the es täte to speculate in stocks for tbe profit if the two executors, through which they lost and became indebt3d to the estate io large amounts. On January 2G, 1S76, Anna Jv. unman Droagnt suit against exSurrogate Hutchlngs to recover moneys wnicn ate claims ne paid out in March ana Apri, loo, ana wnicn were not a proper charge against tbe ettte. The sums pvd out were $11,000 to Fullerton. Knox fc Rudd, 11,500 to Eldridge & Jobnson, and (5,000 to ira Shater, as counsel lor tbe executors. 1 he suit was to recover $5,000 with costs. Tbe defendant admits the payment?, but denies that the plaintiff bad suffered damages in any sum wbat ever, and states that he acted in bis judi cial capacity as surrogate. There has been abor.t $150,000 spent in litigation, and tbe eutate remains as far from complete ad ministration as it did fi teen years ago. THE BOUNDING BILLOWS. THE PERILS OF THE SEA SET FORTH IN SEN BATIONAL STYLEA TEMPESTUOUS TRIP. The New York Herald oi Monday says: Tbe brig Charles Dennis, Captain Darrat, trom Havana, arrived at this port yesterday from Havana, after having experi ence! a rough vojage. of . fourteen days upiain uiiraa was iLisrviewea ny a Ht raid reporter yosterd ay, to whom he made tbe following statement; I sailed from Havana on Saturday, March 11, with a cargo of 517 hogsheads and 100 boxes ot sugar under deck and 300 empty petro leum barrels on deck. March 14 had very squauy weatner, witn northeast to south east gale ; 15th and 16ih had a heavy southeast gale, with tremendous cross sea, tbe vessel laboring neaviiy. Marco 17, at six o'clock a. fg.. bad a strong aoutaweet gal, baromeUr falling fas'.; 8 a.m., gale increasing to a hurricane; 1 p. m., more moderate; 2 p m , oommsnced to blow again with in creased lury ana a neavy sea on; at 4 p. M. shipped a heavy sea, which stove in tbe galley windows, hlied it witn wat9r, and broke deck load of barrels adrift. At 6 p. m. we secured tbe deck load. At 11 p. m. tbe wind began to moderate, and at 1 a. m. next morning, the wind suddenly veered to tbe nortb, and at 8 A. u. wa blowing a strong gale from the north west, and cold. About that time we spoke tbe brig Cere. At 10 A. m. it was still blowing with great violence, and tbe sea was very teavy, tt ere being frequent quails of snow aud slett. On Sunday, tbe 19'b ins'., we were in latitude 34 'eg., 35 min. ncrth, longitude .74 deg. 29 min., with tbe gale moderating, though U was still tnowing quite hard in

FREQUENT t QU ALLS.

At 10 A. K. spoke bark J. Sargent, ol Mechias, for New Haven. We made all sail, the wind being southeast. On Monday, latitude 35 deg., longitude 72 deg. 53 miu. tbe wind continued southeast until six p. M., when a strong gale prevailed, incraplng in violence at 8 p. M. At 10 o'clock It blew a hurricane, and our vtfrsel was scudding before it unoer close reefed topsail. At 2 A. M., Tuesday, 21t kst., latitude 33 deg , longitude 72 deg., 58 mio., there was a feanul tea on, and me vessel scudding very badly. Finding it impossi ble to teer mr and tearing sbe would broach to. we act out two four inch lints all, Bixty fathoms long, and towed them out astern, which made tbe vessel steer quite well, and we were enabled to keep before tbe sea. Several larg) seas came over the stern wsliing away tho rnao at tbe wheel, but doiug no mrious damage. Tremendous etas passed across the main deck, wasning awy tne deckload and staving in tbe window and door in forward bcusa and filling them all with water, thus destr ylng fl iura id bread in tbe forward hous Ibe t-es washed also away every thing movable about the decks and stove tbe water casks, tearing off tarpaulins and batten off ttie main hatches. The bulwark wera also split and tbe BiV.a torn to shreds. At 5 r. m. the rain began to come down in toirent, with feartut thutd r and lightcin?, acn S3 eea runciDg mountains Ligh ano the combing being very heavy. At 6 A. M. it began to moderate and ciear up. At 7 a. M. the wind hauled tbe cortbwts', which placed the vts?el in a very perilous position. At 9 A. M. the gale was still quite fresh, but during tbe next four days we bad good weather, and arrived in pot in tolerable condition. A CENTENNIAL PROJECT". Thfs is aa age ot progress. In fact, we are rather proud to say that trlsis tte closing year of a century of progress. Yet there is room tor improvement on evtrv aide, and particularly in our domestic ar rangements. In these, a'so, we ere con stantly annoyed by troubles of all binds, great and small. Tbe milk man, for in stance, comes late, and occasionally net at all ; ttndget spoils tbe coffee tor bieakfast, and simoiimes, too. tbe soup for dinner: or, perhaps, late on Saturday clgLt it is discovered tbht the supply of coal is en tirely our, and, a buckeilul at a time, we have to bg, borrow or steal all day Sunday to keep us from tbe alternative o' freezing to death batora Monday morning and the coal cart arrive. Thtsa and countless ether oft recurring vexations are too deeply impresso J on the mind of evtry housekef p r to require further expatiation here. R-iief is what we want, and tbe means for securing it we ate about to iropose. The centralization of supply in tbe matters of water aud gai, thereby dhpsning w.th the wneezy and reluctant pump nd tbe uncerta'.u and fTghty (so to apt as) kerosene, has immeasurably added to tbe comfoit of mankind. Its success suggests the propriety ot giving tbefrys'em a greater range of usefullness by appying it 1 1 the dis:ribution of other articles ot household consumption, and ty its labor-saving and tempei -saving advantages p revent tbe ills that try men's souls, and shorten their lives. J o follow out this Idea why not orte on some suitable spot, say the Circle Park, a lare and commodious edifice that would be at otce an ornament to tbe ciiy ana an institution of great utility to its in habitants? Tbis bail ling might be canned me Metropolitan supply Ltouse," or "the General Air Liquid Company's Central Depct," or bv some other sugges tive and imposing title. From tbis central station migbt be led a number of systems of pipe, ramifying every part of the city, aiur ins manner or tne present gas aaa water mains, inrougn one sys tem or set of tnese pJpas we would sug gest trj&i in winter not air do lorcco, sup plying those who, for a slight considera tion, deMreit, and so doing away, not only w.ta an irouou some iurnaces and grate fire", but with the anathemas inseparable from a Sunday without fuel. In summer tbe hot air would be replaced by a cold acd perfumed blast that would keep our houses cool ana iragrant nignt ana day. men. other mains leading to a neat arrangem it In each bouse, somewhat resembling a soda fountain, and placed, sav, in the din ing room, might deliver hot tea. French eorlep, soup and other liquids in common use, and these being scientifically concocted by an Imported expert located in the G. A. fc L. Com pany's central dtpot, would not be subject to tbe vagaries ot tbe Hibernian lady that rules tbe kitenen. Tbe pleasure of receiv ing fresh milk by this means direct, per bap, from some sweet-smelling dairy mues away in tbe country, would alone ba worth tbe cost of Introducing tbe pipes imagine the convenience, too, ot pro curing a sudden luncn lor some unloosed for gut st, an unexpectedly early break fast or a late supper, by simply turning two cr three taps, and having hct soup, ooffep, etc., at one minute's notice, raady to tbe touch, as it were I Should it be found that the absence of the lady of the house opened the way to tbe rapacious small boy to gorge himself with turtle soup, or, when tbe entire family is from home, should tbe hospitable una get roe temptea to entertain too many of her cousins, something in tbe way ot tbe clock bank locks might be devised that would allow tbe vaiious faucets to be opened only at stated timts. For instance, that one furnishing soup migbt be auto matically unlocked but once a day at tbe dinner hour; coffee and tea once, twice cr thrice, according to individual habit; mint Julep, claret punch and Tom-and-Jerry once an hour, or even every twenty minutes, should tbe wile permit. Or, another plan might be adopted, and tbe hot and tbirtty school girt, for example, might be restrained from tbe inordinate quaffing of, siy sidawattr and strawberry cream eyrui-?, by a common lock on tbe faucet, and the key thereof in tbe pocket of her mother, by whose permission only the tap could then be med. In either plan we might again borrow from the custom ot water and gs companies and p-r ect our arrangements by the addition of a good self-rm'stsring meter. Such a device, i properly constructed, would not only tell us bow often the claret punch and other saps bad been opened, but would at the oaoie time record the exact amount drawn 1 n each occasion. This would be an unerring tell-tale in tbe homes of good temp-t-irs and other prohibitionists, and would also trove lnvalcable to that dreadful class of people wbo compile statistics. Of course, the loregoing are mere sagLgQbtiODB which are susceptible of muon change and improvement. It is obvioup, however, that if properly developed nnd put In execution tbey would result in an eoterpr.sstbat would be a credit to the Centennial year, to Indianapolis and to tbe country at large. Its lame, when bruited about, would soon build up not only all tbe vacant lots ia the city o ccncKntrio circle, but miles of the adjacent suburbs. Its prejtctcr, too, while i ding ruiiliors in it, would all down upon themselves the thanks and biet sings of a too Ion a -suffering communitv. Why not do it? Who will begin the workT C.

AN EQUINE PALACE. The San Francisco Call gives tbe following description of a palatial stable: Mr. John E. Shawhao, a retired member of the San Francisco Btock beard and a gentleman of great wealth, is the ownef of the fines; priva e coach house acd stable in Caliiorni, if not io the country. This horse palace has Just been completed, at a cost of nearly $100,000, and occupies a full fifty vara lot on California, between Jones ami Leavenworth streets. Tte exterior ol the building, with its high and handsome tower in one arge its white walls and pretty roof has astrikiogsppearanoe. The efible stands on a hill, trom which is commanded a view of the surrounding coun'rj . Tbe eye in the towtr t-weep tbe hor zm 'cr milen, taking in the Golden Gt, Siucellto, Mount Dmble, lamalpais, tb Contra Costa bills, tbe-bay and Ith Islands, ard the city, with its numerous hills aud busy tboroiighiare. For ex'ent or tcenery it is probably the fintst elevated pilGt of observation on toe peninsula. Mr. Shawban will shoitly trak ground tor bis private residence on the fifty-vara lot adjoining tbe st able. As Mre.Sbawhan U pa-sioi ate!y fond of torset, it was resolved to c-up'ete tbe stable first. It Is modeled after tbe Itilian sencol modified with some American idea9. Tbe bui.'d'ng is locitea about thir y feet back from tb street, the'mila entrance being on California frtreer. An iron oramettal fence in

closes ma structure, which is eaproached by a rather steep carr'ae drive, A substantial brick aud store foundation sunnorts the whelp. the basement allowing sufficient rdbm Iv wnicn tne horses may wallow and romp. Tne coach room ia first entered. Here are picked tbe various vehicles used by tne ftmily. This eppartment is 16 feet to the ceiling and about 40x60 teetiu width and aeptb. The floors, walls and ceiling are fiiishrd in a tasteful combinati. n ot oak, asb, O.egon pine and v alnut woods, tbe celling being elaborately and exqutaitly ornamented. To tbe rignt, upon entering, a door leads to an octagonal apar.ment the fir it floor ot the tower. This Is MRS. SHAWHAü'S PAKLOB, where friends are entertained while the horses are being hitched up. A warm ooljrtd carpet covers the floor. Tbe ceil ing is fr sooed in the Alhambrian style, In blue and gold. The man tl niece is ot fercefsae marble and carved walnut, and has upon it some fine broczs and b muxic box. An immense mirror over the fireplace reflects the light from tte numer ous circular windows above. The furni ture consists of some easy cbairc. uphol stered in a style corresponding to the rictness oi tne appartment. a ladies' becepiiox room, fitted up with mirror?, cabinets, lavatories with hct and cold water, wardrobes tor ladies' riding habits, Is ah independent apartment entered by a door. A mammoth glass ctsa, in which is kept the harness of tee four-in-band, is one ot tbe leatures ol the coach room. In anotbtr corner an apartment is partitioned off for a barm s room. The panels are of French plate giass, and tbe glittering harness bung up in metnoaicai rows can be seen from tie coach room. A marble water trough for tbe horses, near tbe stairway, is a fine specimen of the sculptor's art. The water runs Into tbe trough trom the mouth of a lion, whose shaggy head peers ju t aDove the edge ot the basin. THE STALLS. The stable proper leads directly from the coach room, an immense sliding door shutting oif the communication. In light, ventilation acd entire cleanliness this stable can not be surpassed. It la 45x05 feet in dimensions. Six spacious stalls. with patent cribs acd leed boxes, tbe in vention of Mr. Duff, are on tbe right hand side, and two box stalls and two open stalls on the left hand. The floor is built on inverted arches in sectione, and is easily removable for the' purpose of drenching tbe same with water. An ex tension of the stable room leads to two al s for cows, and a loct path stall for fcorses. Opposite to these stalls is a place for washing carriages and a wash room for stable men. THE TOWER is approached fry means of a - magnificent stair case, on the lowest bannister rail oi which is perched a fine bronzs figure oi Alexander tbe Great holding aloft a lamp. This stair case is constrncted from a variety c l woods, tbe railings being elegantly carved. The various floors in the large tower are nsed a store rooms, s.eeping apartmerts lor the coachman aud his. as sistant s, etc , etc. 1 he bay loft is immediately over the coach room, and diSTsis very far from tbe traditional idea ol a tay loft. It is sufficient to say that it ii in keeping with the elegance ol the other poitionsof the building. Toe interior of thl- tuperb stable is liguied by gas from numerous pendants. Glass globes of pre:ty deigns are fixed over the burn ers. One or tne n t-ceable features in the decorative line is tbe distribution of eecutcbeors&t intfrvais along the ctraices and in the corners. Upon these are printed heralded devices, no two being alibe. The only horses now in Mr. Sbawhan's stable are a fine Belmont mare, broken in and driven by Mn. Shawban, and four fine horses oi tbe Abdallah ttocr, imported irom Kentucky. They ara very fine animals and the cynosure ot all eyes when driven through the Park tour in. hand. AN APRIL FOOL ACCIDENT. A BOT RECEIVES THE CONTENTS OF HIS OUS IN SHOULDER AND SIDE. Special Correspondence of the Sentinel. Castleton, April 1. I noticed an editorial article in your paper of April 1st on "April Fool'd Day." It bas caused seme excitement at cms place, out ere the day had scarcely commenced, aa the hoys had joined in their merriment, our little town was horrified by the news that a young lad by tbe name ot Edward Anderson had accidenlly shot himself. On Investigation it was ascertained that he, with Borne other boys, bad started hunting, and bad gone about a quarter or a mile nortb of town, and bad stopped ol a large culbert to consult which direction to go. Young Anderson set bis gun down on a cross-tie, and attempting to lilt it up, tbe lock caught on tbe lie or rail, raising tte hammer, and tbe result, as might be expected, was to bis Injury; his right arm, on upper aide, near the shoulder, received the entire load, badly crippling him. Dr. Booker was called Immediately to his assistance, and his wounds were dressed. "The doctor stated privately that his case waa dangerous, and that If inflammation should set in death would ensue. It stems tha& this boy is very unfortunate. Only a lew days ago his arm wa4 broken, and in fact be was carrying his arm still iu a sling. This case should be a warning to boys that bandle guns,snd should be a leson to tbem to be careful. This boy may be a cripple far life. C.13.W
