Tax Cases Passed Upon—The Lnéalle Street Tunnel, qhe West Side Railway Company Beaten by the Metropolitan. THE NEWBERRY ESTATE. SUPREME COURT DECISION, Among the recent decisions of the Supreme Court is that in thie caseof Newberry vs. Blatch- ford. This was the caee where 2 muviticeat rovision was made for the establishment of a public library in tLis city, snd, certain or the Deirs baving died, 2 bifl was filed by collateral neirs asking for a partition of the estate, leaving 10 the widow her dower, aud dividiag the estate among the parties who would properly be euti- tled to o share only on the denth of the widow. The suit was triedbefore Judge Willjams, and heheld that by the happening of certain contingencies the estate of the contingent heirs ad been aavanced so that the estate could be divided now, instead of waiting until the death of the widow. The Supreme Court have reversed this de- cision, holding that the time for the distribution of the immense estate had not yet arrived. The opinion is ta be fited at Sprivgield, and cannot be given for some days. The effect of the decision will be to postpone the establishment of a library here until after the death of Mrs. Newberry, and to greatly dis- appoint the descendants of the testator’s brothe ers and sisters. ir. Newberrs provided in his will that, in caze of the death of both his daughters without fssue, upon the death of Mrs. Newberry the es- tate should be divided into two equal parts, ono to be applicd to founding a public library, aed -the otherto be divided smong the “lawful surviviog descendants of his own brothers and sisters.” The two voune ludies dicd,one in 1374 and the other in the spring of 1570. Thereupon the then surviving descendaats of Mr. New- ‘berry’s brothiers and sisiers began to cast about to sce if they could not cnioree a division of the estate at once, although the division hsd been appointed by Mr. Newberry to be made at the death of bis wife, and she was still living. They claimed that where & life estate is given Aoy person, and, st the death of that person. to to another, the phrase “at the death of that person ™ is in law equivalent to the vhrase “ypon the failure or termination of the ate given to that person’’; so that if, for any rea- son, the estate given for life fail to take cffect, as by refusal of the one to whom it is given to take it, or by forfeiture, ete., the next person to whom {t is given need not wait for the actual desth of the first taker, but takes at once. 1t was found that, by the will, Mr. Newberry had offered his wifea certain interest, provided ahe would aceept it in liea of her dower. She, however, refused 1o accept ft, but took her dower: and hence the claim was inade thag the failure of the cstate given to her by her refusal to take it was the equivalent, and answered the requirement, of the phrase ireciing the dis- tribution at her death; and that they were the persons next to take in the order of suceession. To this it was objected that the will, in expre: terws, provided for a distribution at a wel defined time,—at the death of tue last survivor of Mr. Newberry’s immediate family; that not only was that the express provision of the wilt as 10 the time of distribution, but this language must also be used to ascertuin the persons Lo whom the estate is giveu,—~the ones among whom it is directed to be distributed; that is being directed to be distributed amoug the *lawful surviving descevdzuts of his brothiers sud sisters,” the persons to take as suchsur- viving descendants must be_those who couhl ans he description of surviving descendants a:u%he time of distribution appointed by the willy SO THE DEATH OF MRS. NEWBERRY is the point of t:me by whica to determiue the survivorship amoug the aescendants, which ascertains the class of them entitled to share in the distribution. Jt was fur- ther contended that the will indicat- ed the intent of the testator that the distribution of the estate should be made by the Trusteesata titaewhen the whole of 1t €l:ould be in their bands subject o’ dir: ise he Ciseretion and ju ibation nent cafled fer by the will in the distri and that a complete di of the whole estate could not be made untit the death of Mrs, Newberry. for until that time she held us her dower one-third, whiclt consi of nearly two-thirds of tie real-estate. It wasalso urged that the interests mven byjthe will to the testator’s collatersl relatives were aitodether contingent and wot vested: that no interests under the will were vested in any of the persons who brought ‘the bill claiminz o distribution, because it was uncertain whether ey wanld, by living until the apooiuted time of distributiots, auswer the description given by the testator of his donees: that the remainders Tmited over by this will were contingent be- cause of this uncertmnty of the pi ns. who were eventually to tage; that the principie in- voked by which a remainder man was.to take upun the failure of tne earlier estate without waiting for the death of the first life-tennat. could only apply in cases where the remaivder over was 4 vested one, and that of a cortinzent remainder there could be no such acceleration: that no contingent remainder can be accelerated until it is ascertaiued whetber the contiugent {uterest. will take etfect or not. It was further insisted that this principle could have no appii- cation in this case, because there had been no failure of the estate. This estate was not given to Mrs. Newherry, and, after her death, to the daimants. Oply 3 very small part of it had becn given to ber—simnply an annuity and a ri fdence; the rest had been limited unon othier trusts through the Trustees: and the will ftself moreover espressiy provided that, in.case the Interest given to her falled to take effect, it should go, not to a distribution among the lateral relatives. but inta the mass of thie estate to await, in the hands of the Trustees, the time of the final distribution. The position of the Trus sustained, it is not known what course the claimants will next pursue. 1t is believed that the will caunot be attacked from agy other puint. s having been TAX CASES.

UNLIMITED XATION. In the case of Hule vs. The People ft was claimed that the amount of the city taxes levied exceeded the percentaze authorized by the old charter. and also exceeded the percentage au- thorized by Bill 300. It seems to have been bused npon the decision of the City of Olney’s case, that the limitation of Bill 300 coutrols the cities. But.in the case of Cooper vs. The Peo- ple, the Supreme Court _overruied the Olney case, holding that Bill 300 was void in tato, and iu this case they say they cannot perceive that the general ilie incorporation of cities ang viliages i s any limitation upou tie amount of taxes which may be raised for any purpose authorized in_ the set. - From which it appears that the City Council of all ¢ii in this State may levy as high 1axes for any purpose as seems good to theta. A VICTORY FOR THE CITY. ‘Ihe City of Chicago vs. Rumsey. This was a *suit for damazes brought by Julian_ 8. Rumsey on account of the depreciation of rents and markel value of his property by reason of the construetion of the LaSalle street tunnel. This ease was tried before Judee Rozess of the Cir- cuit Court, and judgment against the city for 319,000 was obtaived, jrom which the city ap- pealed. The opipion of the Court by Scholfield covers some twenty-six pages. Thé first ques- tion cousidercd by the court wasas 10 who isthe owaer of Ladalle street opp % property. Thisland is_situsted in the original town, which was part of the land conveyed by the United States to the State of llinofs to aid in the building of the lilinois and Michigan Ca- nal, aud was piatted and subdivided by the Canal Comunissione The plat was ac- knowledywed and confirmed with the city and town plats made by private own- ers, »u that it did~ mot, under the statutes, operate asa conveyance with the fee in the city. But the Court, alter examining the deseription of the land conveyea by the Caval' Commissioners to Rumsey's grantors, mines the statute in relation to previous town affsirs and an act in pari materia with toe set authorizing the subdivision of cauat lands into town lots, with streets and alleys, de- cides that the feg-of the city and incorporated towns shall vest in the muuicipal bodles for the of the putilic, and shall not be vested in pri- vate owners subjeet to partial casements as in many 6l _tle older cities, and the Court decides that as the blat was made by the Canal Com- missioners authorized by cities pursuing this policy, the tce of the strects is invested in the city or remains in State in trust for public uses, and that for the purposes of this action it is fmmaterial whether the fee s vestedintbe ity or State. The Court then examines the uie authorizing the construction of the LaSalle-street tunmel in 1t and finds that the city enterad into the conm- et in thar vear; 1 the Work was and pursued continuously fall of 1371, The openiug in s property was made in the early parg of 1871, and the pavernent was laid in Octoser of that year.

THI HORSE-RAILROADS. THE WEST SIDE COMPANY BEATEN. Specinl Dispatcn 10 The Tribuns. Orrawa, [1, June 22.~Following is an ab- stract of the opinion of J. M. Scott, Justice, in the case of the Metropolitan City Rafiroad Com- psey vs. the Chicage West Division Railway Company. The Metropolitan Raiiway Company was orzanized under the Jaw to operate a horse and driviog raitway ia Chicago, and by clty ordi- wance permitted to construet its tracks on Lake strect. from the Union Depot to Canal street. Tt is claimed by the West Division Raiway Com- panr that so doing woutd condlict with its lawful interest. The defendant entered pieas that the petitioncr is. not a body politic, and cor- porate, ete. On motion the defendant's pleas were strizken out, and leave given to answer. Ou the trial the jury found one cent damages for the defendant. Upon appeal to the Su- preme Court the defeadsns assizned cross rroy The petitioners vere cooceded to be Jully authorized to operate o horses The Court itas not deemed it necessary quire whether defects mizht e developed on a quo-warranto that would ceriously affect its validity, for it scems to be a corporation in fact, and nooe have questioned its autiority. Such corporation is empowered to auorodrate any property necessery for its consiruction, Arcu. ments have beedl made as to the validity -ol cow’s mulk, wod possess in equal of ~the ordinance of April 30, 1675, under which the petitioners allege the consent of the Common Couneil, _but whether the ordinance was legally enacted has no direct beariug on the case. The right to ex- ercise the eminen: domain is derived solely from the State, aud in this Instance is con- ferred by the act of the Legislature cited. In re- lation to horse and arising railways obtaining the consent of the Common Council, consent may be obtained afterward. The granting such consent is at the discretion of the municipal authorities, and is a mere license granted by the fee of the street, and recoverable at any time before acted upon by thefiling of a peti- tion to condemn defendant's ~ property- right. The Tegality of the con- tract is admitred. The practitioner bas not and §s not seeking to condemn suy of the defendant's franchise. The interest of tha defendant in Lake and Caval streets, under the coutract with the City Council, comes within no definition of afranchise. The de- fendant’s right. in the saidstreots unider the con- tract must be reparded as property. Werecur to what nay be rezarded as the principal ques- tion presented by the record, whether powor has been delegatud by the General Assembly to the petitioners to condemn uuder eminent domain, Such rizht as the defendant may have uuder the contract, and which petitioners scek to have ap- propristed to puplic uses, is an incorporeal right out of a contract, and, if anything, is properly belonging to a corporation. That is the most favorable view that cau be taken for the defendant. Presuming such right to be in the nature of property, we tuink the petitioner can appropriate.it to public uses after first malk- inga just compensation therefor. There cac beno question but the defendant's rightin certain ‘strects may be subjected to public neeessity, it belng property, notwithatanding it may be that of a corporate Lody, which inthis instance is not employed for public benetit. No principle 1s better settled than that all mere private interests are subordinate to the public welfare, Our conclusion is, that the defendant has some interest in Lakeand Canal strects; that interest s in the nature of property, and {8 subject to ve condemned to public use by the petitioners under the laws of the State. The cross-errors assigned do not affect the merit of the case. On eareful consweration of the evi- dence it secrs the verdict rendered indicates that the jury had a very clear comprehension of the case. Thereis nothing jnthe claun put forth by the defendant that commends it to any favorable consideration, und although the compensation is nowinal,in view ot the evidence submitted, it is quite cdough. The judgment will be reversed, und the case remanded with directions to the Court below to enter judgmens. on the verdict. Sheldon, Justice, dissents suvstantially as fol- lows: The second instruction given to the jury in behal{ of the uppellant, to which exception was taken, says the jury are not eslled upon to deelde how mueh the West Division Railway would be damaged, but to determine what amount would be a just compensation to the owser of the property sought to be taken. The first clause of this fnstruction was misleading. The material uestion was how much the uppeliee would be maged by 8 rival horse-railway. The evi- dence on both sides was to that iseue. Nine re- linble wituesses testify that the damage would be very large, exceeding $100,000. [0 view of such evidence there ars fears the jury were misled by this fnstruction, ana I think the giv- ing of it should, under the cireumstunces, be lield to be crvor, entitling the appelice to a nerw trial. The MetrnFnl(um Cowmpany brought suit be- fore Judgze Kogers to condemn whatever right the West Side Street Railway Company had in certalu portions of Lake and Canal streets. ‘The jury nssessed ths damages of the West Side Company at one cent. The plaintiff then moved for judgnent, but the Court overruled the motion on ‘the ground that tae petition Lo condemn could not be meintained. Frow that deciston the Metropolitan appealed, and has wor its ——— THE THEORY OF THE USE OF KUMYSS. To the Editor of The Tridune. CHIcAGO, June 23.—Many of your readers, mo doubt, are interested in this valuable dietetic, and for their Lenefit I will mive this short history: Kumyss, or, anglicized, Kou- miss, has its home in Russlan Tartary. The chief industry of the Turtars, a nomadic people, is the raising of horses. From the milk of the mares they make Kumyss by a shnple process of fermentation. Mare’s miik is vaturally so constituted as to pass into vinous fermentation of lts own accord, without the addition of either sugar or veast; of course proper manipu- Intion can improve the product. The Tartar Kumyss bas enjosed a reputation for wonderful uutritive aud curative properties for centurics. Invalids from all parts of the globe visit the prairies of Tartary every summer to drink Kumyss in order to restore their oroken-down constitutions. In most cases they find the neaitiy they seek. Ths fact bas aitracted the uttentiou of the medical profession of Russia during the last century, and in late years med- ical investigators set about to discover the secret of the remarkable curative power of this Kumyss, made from mare’s milk. They found the preparation simple, but they discovered a vast difference between mare’s and cow’s inilk. Morgover, they found that mare's mill, fresh from the anfmal, though not quite s paiatable as Kumyss, possessed most. of the remarkable qualities of Kumyss. This clearly proved tiat Kumyss owed 1ts value ~ mot to a fermentative process, but to the materiai it was made from—mare’s milk. No such results could be produced from cow’s wilk, nor from fermented cow’s milk, fact well known to the Tartars, who only prize the Kumyss made from mare’s milk. The next step then was 10 examine the mare’s milk and com- pare it with other wilks. Chemical analysi showed, that mares’, as are aimost identical. Cot sreatly varies from the milks vamed. milk contains three times as much 3 any of the others and ouly half us wuch sugar of inilk, the element spociully necessacy as fu- triment for man. Thus chemical analysis shows why mare’s milk and its Kuwmy are better Suited for the putritive requirements of man than the milk of the cow. Experience has taughi that cow’s milk, useful asitis, should not be fed to infants unless consider- \lble’ modified by dilution with water ana the addition of sugar and farinaccous substapces, and even then tbousands of infants die from the nse of this uunatural food. Aduits gen- erallv instiuctively object tomilk as a diet: it Is ditlicult of digestion, produces witn maay, bil- ious disorders, aud fn fome individual cases even one glussful s followed by days of indisposition, while the same’ paticnts will thrive on Kuinyss. Under these circum- stances, mare’s milk being in geveral unattain- able, the problem to be solved was, how to pro- duce from cow’s wilk & preparation that should be identical with true *Tartar Kumvyss » that shou!d be frec from the objectionable cllln“lics Ay bisch ualities of mare's milk. German chemists ap- and degree the desirable Several Russian an proached the golution of this problem paved the way for future progress. skill -+ ana_ patient perseverance, u cago chemist, r. A Arend, fo 1574 discovered & pre by which he converta cow’s 1milk mto au artificial mare’s milk and then into Kumyse. “This produet is very palatable, bland, gratein! to the feeblear stomach, easily digest- «d, highly nutritions, and invigerating. It is, when fresh, a focd that furnishes an excelleat substitute for mother's milk o mfant’s suffer- ing trom any bowel-derangement.

It is a prompt restorative in those many casos where medicine seems of no avail, and where ordinary food distresses the stomach or fails to afford the required nourishment. Tne theory of the use of Kumyss is to offer to the enfeebled con- stitution of either fufant or adult a food equal- 1y nourishing and equally adapted to the human organism as that furnished by nature to the new-born infant. How perfect the attaipment of the proposed object, duily experience most strikingly demonstrates, 1t is unfortunate that the well-carned repu- tation of Mr. Arend's Kumyss, an_article ore- pared oo strictly seientific principles, should market WOst have led to the dooding of the with cheap imitations, lackinz the essential properties of true Ku as well as the attempt of many to manu a home-mage article_for the use of invalids, who, if they require Kumyss at all, require he best.

Six trained perezrine falcons were publicly tried at rook-hawking 2 few weeks azo, ut Thruxton, near Andover. “In spite of high sind and occasional heayy showers, several good flights were obrained, and in nost cases the quarry was kilied. The perfect training of the birds was shown by their return to the falconer after a miss,—the" distance traversed {n on stance being fully three-quarters of a mule. It is supposed that, if the performavces of the birds were more gencrally exhibited, a fow vears. would see the revival of falconryia Engiand an accomplished fact, THE TAYLOR ESTATE. Progress which Has Been Made in Settling It Up. The To Beports of the Exeentors..§o Charity Yet Decided Ou. Mr. T. B. Taylor, & wealthy and etherwise prominent citizen of Chicago, who died on the 10th of November, 1875, left & will which was admitted to probate a few days afterward, and Wwhich devised his estate—which, it was then estimated, would be Worth from $750,000 to $500,00—as follows, “constituting and ap- ointing my honored and trusted friends, Albert Kecp, Heors F. Eames, and Henry W. King, sllof this city. to be my exccutors and trustees, to execute this my last will.” To his wife, Adciaide C. Tayior, he Zave all his household furniture, books, pictures, jewelry, wearinig-apparel, borses, carriages, cte., one- third of the vet proceeds of the remaiming es- tate, or at Jeast $200,000 if it yicided less than $620,000, the income or Interest to be paid her semi-annually during life; and Hobart Chatfield Taylor, his only son, to inherit principal and iuterest ar Jrs. Taylor's death, in case of his suryvival. In cuse the mother survived the son, ot her death the principai was to revert to such charitable institutions asmight Lo founded in pursuonce of further provisions, with the understauding thut if this was Dot satisfactory to Mrs. ‘Taylor, she was to recelve full control and possession of one- third of the estate without restrictions or condi- tions. To his son, Mr. ‘Taylor gave alot on the southwest corner of Canal and Adams streets, aod directed the settiing upon hint of a princi- pal of 330,000, to be invested so that the foter- est snould inure to him semi-annually, the prin- cipal at his death to fall to his children in case he bad any; but, in case he did not, to the char- itable institution alterwards mentioned, or to such other charitabfe institution as the execu- tors might designate. To Mrs. Harriet Eames Taylor, his mother, he zave §2,000a year. He further- gave the custody of his son during his minority to his wife, with the proviso that, in case of her dying before he reached bis majority, the custody should go to either of the executors who would acceot the trust. The nluth and last proviso of the will was the most important, iu 2 public senst, sinco it gave promisc of the cstablishment of THE CHARITABLE INSTITUTIO above referred to. It was to the eifect that all the remalnder of the estate, after providinz for the pavinent of the debts, expenses, legacies, upnnitfes, and settlements above mentioned, was to pass into the hands of Heary V. King, Henry ' F. Eames, Albert Kcep, - Wirt Dexter, S. 'A. Sprogue, _ Thomas M. Avery, Heory Keep, and Hamilton B. Bogue, in trust, to be by them applied to the founding or endowing in Chicago, upon a Iasting basis, of such a cbarity as in their opinion was most necded, and would do the most positive und enduring good and the least harm. It was pro- vided furthor that, in case of death of cny of these nine trustees before thewill went into eflect, or before the permanent organization of the proposed charity was completed, the survivors should have theright to fill vacancies: and, furthermore, that if the majority of them should be unwilllng or deem it uexpedient to orzanize a new charity, they might duly certify that fact to the administrators and executors, who were thereupon to pay over the same to the Trustees of the Home of the Friendless. In September, 1836, Mrs. Taylor renounced the provision made for her uuder the will, and elected to take full control and vossession of oue-third of the cstate without restriction. In Novewber of the following year, youne Taylor, by his next {riend, began proceedings to bave the will et aside. The matter came up for ar- gument in court a doy Or so 2go, and it has re- Vived the interest which was felt in the subject in 1575, when Mr. Taylor’s charitable intentions sere made known. For the purpose of ascer- taining the coedition of the estate, and how it had flourished during the two years and a balt which have elzpsed since_3r. Taglor's death, the files of the Probate Court were exomined and the exccutors interviewed with the follow- ing result: THE FINST ANNUAL REFORT of Messrs, Eames, Ring, and Keep, as_execn- tors and Trustees, was filed with the County Clerk Uee. 4, 1876. After reciting the death of Mr. Taylor and hiz appointinent ~of the above- named gentlemen as executors and Trustees, their having (]u:\lificd, etc., tho report goes on to recite the tiling ot the inventory, appraise- 1ment bill, and widow’s award, all of which had Dbeen approved by the Court Feb. 15, 1876. The Teoort. nrsu tells of other duties performed by the executors, which are of no speciul interest 10 the public, such as the improvement of the cemetery-lot in which the deceased was buried, thie payinent of the funeral expenses, delivery of the deccased's personal property to the widow, as directed by the will, ete. They also refer to the declaration tled in court by the widow electing to receive at once the full pos- session and control of one-third of her late hus- hand's estate, without restrictions or conditions, but for sums already advanced to her under such election they deferred an accounting uutil some future time. The exceutors in this docu~ ment also reported the sale of the Exposition stock owned by Mr. Taylor at the time of his death, having been afforded “a sudden op- portunity ' to @0 s0. Lhls stock was sold at 50 wer cent of its par value. and realized $500. The report says that the opportunityreferred to was so sudden that it did ot warrant any delay to ure the advice of the Cour: in reference to such sale, but that they decmed the sale to be for the best interests of the estate. In conclu- sion, the report alludes to an account of the re- ceipts, disbursements, and ivvestments of the executors s Trustees under the will, which account s given below, and states thor the estate is of o large and varied character, and has required the persoual attention and anagement of the Trastees ot home and abroad to - cousiderabte extent, in order to learn the value and cbaracter of tne various interests confhied to their cure, and to reduce the assets to such condition os to make them available, and to prepare the same for in- vestments coptewplated by the executors as Trustees.

KING, who could only say that the estate was in con- dition to be closed up as muchasa year ago, whea it became known that wn effort would bo made to break the witl, and the basiness of wind- ing up of affairs’ came to a sudden stop. Until Judge Wiiliams rendered his decision as to the validity of the will it was impossible to say what course would be talken. The executors had not looked over the ficld to sce what kind of o charitable ivstitution was needed here, simply for the rea- son that they had, up to tne time of the con- test, been busy in converting the property, and metting it into transferable shape, and when the ‘soutest came, and the validity of the provision rezarding such an iustitution was brought in question, the matter was thenceforth in the liands of the Court, whose decision would goy- ern thein as to their further proceedings. JMr. Klug was asked whether the executors had charged 8 per gent each as their comuis- siots on collections of personal property, where: as the law provides that the charge shall be 6 per cent, to be shared equally by all the executors, whether there are three or twenty. Mr. King denied that they had been charzing3 per cent apiece, or that they had any iateution of so do- ing, since the law provided that theyshould charge 6 per cent, to be divided aqually between them. Ay allegation that they had thus ovar- chargred their commlssions, he £aid, was wholly without foundation fn fact, and, 3s such, de- serving of no rotice. It UEXRY P. EAMES, President of the Conumercial National Bank, was next seen. e, too, stated that they had bestowed no thoughts upon the matter of selecting some deservinz charitabie institution, in compliance with the provisfons of the will, for the reason that the validity of thosc provis- jons was mow o subject of judicial inquiry. When it was decided that they bad the right to devote the money to such a_purpose, it would then be time for them to act.” But le under- stood that the decision would be appesled, if it went in favor of the will, so that ‘some delay was imminent. The estate could have been divided long ago but for this contest. Its value, fo round numbers, was about 35 h sutlicient sum, even after - giving Mrs. ‘Tavior her. one-third, allowed her by the faw ana the will itself, to estavlish deserv- ing charity on » sound ingucil bnsis. Hor oue- third would begi en her in the course of a few days. He also denied toat they had charzed 8 Per tent commissious apicee, of tuat they had any intention to do so. They had received something, but nothing like the G per cent which the law allowed them. The accovnts bud been accuratety kept, and would stand the closest scrutiny, and everybody would agree, he belleved, after muking an inspeetion, i saying there had been an economical aud judicious ad- ration of the estate. Whichover way the decision weut. there would be no questidn s to Mrs.Taylor’sright to one-third of the estate. The only issuc in the case was as to the validity of the provision regarding the charity, the con- testing son claiming That it was_ invatid, the Home of the Friendiess folks insistinz on the coutrary, and the executors quietly waiting to sce how the Court wouid aecide. “But nhow is it, Mr. Eames,” asked the re- rorter, * that Mrs. Taylor has been out of her opesthird go long ¢ " * The deiay has been occasioned through no fault of the executors. We have been auxious ull the while to give her ope-third of the estate, und aro just aboUt Lo 4o it in 4 very few days,— JMonday probably. Aceording to the terms ~of “the will, she was entitled to recelve it after tne expiration of 1wo years, or during last November. But the proccedings to test the validity of the will, besun by fLubert Chattietd Taylor and Mrs. Taylor, as his guardian or next frivud, were instituted, and the exceutors were not disposed 10 go any farther in the division of the property until they recelved instructious from the Court. We uid ot get those instructions uptil the Ist of the present montn, and since then bave been ongaged in making preparations to divide the cstate, transferring stocks, ete., for instance. Mr. Keep, one of the executors, had to be away for sowe timne, too, ou busfuess connected with the railroad, bt he has returued. and there is nothing in the way of Mrs. Tayvlor’s receiving her portion within a very short time—two or three days.” ** But abeut these commissions, Mr. Eames. 1t appears {rom the records that the first year's collections were $167,783.50, aud each executor’s commissios $5,023.5%, or 3 per_cent, making 9 yer cent in all. For the second year the collee- tions were $203.125.96, and the azgrezate com- 1missions $13,384, or 734 per ceat. Thls s ap- parently chareing 9 per ceat vue year and Ti per cent suother, when the law provides 6 per cent ¢ “ We have the right to take 6 per cent on the whole cstate, and we have drawn so much of it. When we make tp our Gual accounts, there will Le a balenee due us for the difference, mak- ing 6 per cent on the wiiole estate. In other words, fn the nzevegate, when we come to set- tle up, we shiall take what will be_equivalent to 6 per cent on the value of the estate.” “In other words, you have overdrawn for these two vears, and will square the thing by taking a émaller per cent hereafter, so that your total commissions will be 8 per cent on the hole estate?™ “That’s about it. We have drawn $5.000 aplece for two years, and credited the estate. When we ges through we shall draw the bal- ance, whatever may,be due us, thus_ receiving the 6 per cent on the entire estate. We propose 10 take nothing beyohd our lawful commission. We niean to keep within the law. The Court hias allowed the compensation we have received, and we are_governed by the Court altogether. We have had, in round numbers, £30,000 in commissions. Tne estinated vaige of the ustate 18 and the per value over $700,000. We are certainly entitied toa commission on the par value, Which, at 8 per cent, is $42,000. We are, therefore, eatitled, having already received 000, to the differ- cnce between what we have received and the commlissions of £42,000. Although we have drawn a little in advance, yet it was due us last fall, as we should huve clostd the cstate then but ior th ization, which was brougnt on by the other side. As T buve said before, our accounts wiil be fousd perfectly straight, and when the cstate is closed up we shall have recei ore in the way of com- 1nissions than weare entitled to by iaw—6 per cent on the whole vstate.” ————— THE TURKISH MINISTERS.

But he was soon dis- missed by the new Switan. 'This was the period of the'assembling of the Cougress at Constan- tinople after the Turco-Servian war, when tha Tepresentatives of European Powers proposed & series of reforms which, according totheir 1deas, guzht to resolve the diflicaltics of the situation. The result is well known. The Sultan took the initiative in & complete change of the govern- mental system, dismissed Ruchdi, who repre- sented the retrograde party, and called to his ald (Sept. 19, 1576), ns Grand-Vizler, Midhat Pacna, who promuigated the new Turkish Constitution. But the Parlinmentary Tegime did not meet the hopes of the Sujtap. The propositions of the Powers were repulsed: but the crisls was Imminent, and no solutien had been reached inthe deliberations of the Turkish Assembly. A complete reaction took place in the public mind against Midhat Pacha, whoseadvent had been welcomed twomonths bew fore with great enthusiasm. A revolutionin the Palace burst forth, and the Grand-Vizier was bn}l;:flled xryomhonomunusnxh iem Pacha succeeded (Feb. 5, 157).

Untit the fall of Plevna, Edhem Pacha was considered the soul of resistan but, from the moment of the taking of the key of the Balkans, his claim on this score dimisi- ished, and when the conquered Ottoman troops ell bick on Adrianople he taw the nscessir of g\gm: :in [¥'S r;slguau%n. = lamdy Pache Was then called to the Grand- Vizerate (Jao. 10, 1578); but there was but little hope of retatiatfon, in the powerless state to which Turkey found herself teduced. The new Minister accepted then the faits accomplis, and his management of affairs did not chanze the sftuation.” The Sultan thousht he might zind a more useful or a more active auxillary in the person of Abmet Vefik Effundi, and named the latter President of the Council of Ministers. It will be noticed that’ this is the first time in Lurkey that this title was used, and that of the Grand-Vizier suppressed (Feb. 4, 1873). But Afmet Veflk was_to continue no louger 1n power than Hamdy Pacha. Dismissed the 1Sih of thls month, be was succeeded by Sadik Pacha, the present Minfater.
