SAMUEL COLT’S ESTATE, A Decision in Favor of His Widow—. James B. Colt’s Successful Sult. Hanrrrounp, July 28.—\When the late Col. Sam- uel Colt died in 1862 he left au estate valued at between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000. In his will he wave certain legacies of the stock of Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company to Various persons, and provided that the remain-, derof the stock owned by ‘him not so be- queathed snould be divided “among tne several persons and purties to whoin I have hereinbefore given legacies of stock, in the ratio and propor- tion in which sald legacies of stock arc berein- before given.” Among these legacius was one of 500 shares to his brother, James DB. Colt, for life, with the remainder to his children, which bequest would have . carried to James and bis children corresponding proportions of the stock not bequeath- ed, By codicil, however. the testator re- voked this jezacy to James and his children, ant gnve itto trustees for founding a school whieh he had mentioned in tho will, and by 2 second. codicil he revoked all provistons for this school, and the 5) shares were not otherwise specitically bequeathed, but went into the residuum of the stock. The revocation of the bequest to James was brought about by a personal quarrel be- tween the brothers, and there is uo doubt that the Colonel intended to cut him off without a penny. A second codicil revoked 2 bequest of the use.of 500 shares of stock to the children of James, tna the same was given to the four youngest children of Christopher Colt, another brother, in like manner. Tn 1863 Janes brought a billin equity to the Superior Court for Hurtford County aguinst tho executors and ull the lexatees under the will, usking the Court to ascertain and tix the re- spective Interests of all the lezateesin tho residu- um of the stock, which would necessarily in- clude a decision as to all the legacies and the ‘amount of the residuum, The mattor wus re- terred to the Supreme Court,and thore ably argued under the lend of Benjamin 2. Curtis, of Boston, for the executors, and the best al talent for lames H. Colt. The Court decided thut the revocation in tho first a nded only to the primary legacy to and that his interest in tho residuum. . Tho executors thereupon sctticd the estate and paid to James 1. about $100,000 by tie avcumulations to date, and he ‘I f amount -in i up to the time of his death. He was entirely without money when he brought this suit, and bis lawyers took hold of tho case on ten-dollar give you 2 Cap-nets at nission.

So inany were obligations of this kind that his first $100,009 was nearly all abscrbed by the tne he got it. : Abou years later he, Baron 13.

Another year! and again we ure abl to report: progres, This agociution was formed at an in- ternational convention in our centennial year, in1877 we wer abl to congratulate ourselves on the wonderful progres made in awakening tho general public to the badnes of the old spel- 'n ISIS we reported the beginings of our con- structiv work. We hadugreed ona new alfabet, and a method of progres towards its use. In 1879 we held our anual meetings as a de- purtment of the National Educational Asocla- Yon, and our report of progres dwelt much on the opening of our periodical literature to the discuston and iitustration of-tho reform, 1n 1880 at Chautauqua the main topic of con- fratulauion wus the introduction of amended speling into the newspapers, and other publica- Uons, and the great aray of authorities in Ieters und scieuce, who bud given the reform their sunetion is BS progres has been quict, rather than cifulyent, There bas been nothing sensa- toni abuut it. ‘This is in the nature of the case.

Such may have been noticed fn the North Amer- tcan Review, the American Church Revicw, the sldantic Monthly, the Forlnightiv Review, i¥ide -lwake, the Christian Life, and the like.

There nr two main directions in which we ar pushing the reform. One starts with our pres- ent speling and seeks to amend it gradually by droping silout ietters and by other simple iin- prowints. The other.urges pure fonectic speling. ‘The gradual improyers may count this year as a fairly good oue. The interest in this kind of reform is so great that the Filologien!

Boston advertiser, Irish speakers in America frequently demana that Irish tenants. be transformed into Irish freeholders, and that every Irishman havo a farm. Innsmuch as the Land bill now pending docs not accomplish that, it is voted. an- insuf- ticient concession and a half measure. But} that is a critique of ignorance. In the first place, the owners of Irish land have a certain right which has to be respected; In the next place, why should tenants alone be helped, sincé they form but afraction of the Irish people? und, in the third place, what tho ‘Irish orators demand for tho tenants is a physical impos- sibility. Such a program as“ Irelana for tne Irish” is a pretty phruse—no more. “There ianolrish nationality, the peopte of Irelana bemg precisely as much of a mixture as arethe English, the Frenen, ana.tne Ameri- cans. And the demand that every Irishman ovugnt to have a furm is a manifest absurdity, partly because the Irish—at least in Aaierica— preter city life, and, in the next place, because there is not enouxh lund to make furms for tho Irishmen who want them.
