If there were more big estates to settle, observes the Detroit Free Press, there would probably be more lawyers. The attorneys in the Davis case in Minnesota got sliont $.5,OOO.¬ OOO before the heirs got anything.

The Germans seem to be losing their respect for the Emperor. Laat year there was eighty-three per pent. more imprisonments for lese majenle, which is tbe term for Iha treason nf spaaking disrespectfully ahout roy alty, than eleven years  ago.
Apartment life has grown sn nni- ver*al in Paris, according to a sperial writer, that no such thing as a home exists in the French capital. Inan- muoh as there is no such word as home in the French lani/aage, the tbing itself may not be so much missed.
The King of Denmark is still estab- 'ishing his claim to be called the father-in-law of Enrope. A graml- danghter has just been married to tbe third son of King Oscar. There are few royal families not connected in some way to the dynasty of King Cbristian.

Russia's average annual export nf abeat reaches nearly 50,000,001) bushels, bnt this year she will not have enough for her own people, put¬ ting on the overworked but willing American eagle the responsibility uf keeping the bread in their mniitlis. That generous aiuT conscientious fowl will not bo fonnd wauling in this emergency or auy other whieh can be met by tilting its copious horn of plenty, this year more overflowing than nsnal.
Tbe Times of India directs attentinn to the influence which the prevalence of distress has had upon the statistics of orime in tbat oonntry. As tbe scarcity of food pressed more hoovily dnring the last two vears njmn the agrionltural population the number of offences gradually rose. Bnt it is noted tbat the excess of orime was almost entirely confined to petty oflen- oes against properly. This indicates that it was hunger which drove many cf tbe offenders to do what, under nor¬ mal conditions, tbey would perhapH bave never dreamed of doing. Imleeil, the emaciated oondition of the great number of prisoners was further proof of this. ¦ A noticeable feature of the returns bas beeu the increase in the oonviotions of old offenders, which leads one jail superintendent- to sug- geat that "old offenders appreciate the advantage of jail life in a year of aoaroity."
John Brisben Walker announces that E. Benjamin Andrews, who has re¬ signed as President of llrown Uni¬ versity, will take charge of the Cosmn- politaD University. The method of the new school so far aa worked out is as follows: A stndeut will forward to tha nniversity bis name and address and tbe pur|H)se for wbicb education is sought, and tbe studies which the applicant desires to pursue. Eaeh snoh statement will goto Dr. Andrews who will msp out the course of study which be deems tha best possible for the applicant in the ligbt of the infor¬ mation conveyed. He will theu dis¬ patch bis own diagnosis of the appli¬ cant's case and prescription therefor to the most eminent expert on the par¬ ticular study with whom he ia ac¬ quainted. Thia expert will revise the oonrse and the ai-conipanyiiiK inslruo tions and return the doi'uiueut to Preaident Andrews.
Oiar Nicholas bas been entertain, ing President Faure of France. I'rnh. ably never before haa the I'resiilenI of a Republic been received with siicli royal pomp. Thia time, aiserta tbe Washington Pathfinder, it is the Bnasians that appear to havo goue mad with enthusiasm at the i.lea of a French alliance. Tbe Russian la.lies have loadail the French otHcers willi flowers; the French sailors have been carried on tha shoulders of the Irenr. ied ptipalace of St. Petersburg, ami fete npon fete has been given in honor ot the visitors. Coming on the heela of the great demonstration to Emperor William, of Oermanv, this ovation to President Fame aiiul bis party is extremely significant. Politics is at the Inittom of every anoh function, and the politics of the present summer's hospitalities al the court of Russia is that Rnsaia, iu the snpreme conflict tbat abe muat ao.iurr or Utar waga wiih England, wants u> know wbom ahe can depend npon. Oarmany and Rnasia are uow sworn allias; France, though at sword's pointa aitk Oermany. i» ao jealous of Enflaail that ahe, too, finda ii good poUtiea to follow Rnoaia'a lead, •i^d throng France it ia hoped to anlist Italy, now, with an in- nraasing navy, an ally worth having. Thus to-day, thera is a more complete Eoropaan allianoa againot England tbaa haa existed for a long period. Sock, thaa, ia the traa si«uilleaaoe of krtaly viti

The Bear was an iron ship of old-fashioned Imild and as slow as  they  make  'em;'any nhl thing on the ocean   coulil   pass   her;   yet,   pro i tem.,ahe van a pa.ssengpr limit and was j bringing down the last of the season's I crop  ol   KloK.'ike   miners.     Hhe was j reputed to have over «.j,(Min,000 wortli I of gold dust and niigu*"'" "" Iwmrdanil her coining was watcheil for with aome uuxlety.
Ou tho morning of the Tth the rnp- tain noticed on tho western horizon what appeared to be a steamer coming towards him. Ah craft nre scarce on tbese waters, except iu the sealing 8ea.son, the captain watched the Htrauger's approach with interest not uiiiiiixeil with auxiety, because of the valuable cargo he had aboard. The sea was calm for the time of year, ami Ihe steamer seemed to lie making for across the bows of the Hear. The cap¬ tain ordered Ihe flag hoisted, but the oncomer showed no answering colors, which did uut tend to make the paji- tain feel less uiieHsy. She was a trim craft, looking like a private yacht, painted black with two slim, tapering luastH net at n rakish slope iu line with her one funnel. She cnme swiflly thr.mgh the water and turueil her broa.lsiile toward the llussian lienr, when the man at the wheel ralculsted that she was .tn ueur as was safe, and her engines slowed down so llmt the stranger's speed more nearly accorded with the alow progress the larger ship was making. A man on Ihc bri.lge came to the edge iieoreMt the slower vessel and placing his Imtiils to his mouth, shouted:
"Ship nhiiy. Is tlmt the llusHinn Bear?"
"Who are .ynu?" roared thecaptain; "and what iln ynu wantV "
"I want on answer In my i|Uestinn; then I'll tell ynn whal more I want." .\fter speaking, hnwever, the new¬ comer did not wait for nu answer, Iml gave a command l.i Ihe man nt the wheel, who promptly signaled for the engines to slop, whereupon the yuehl dropped tn Ihe rear, iiotwithstaniliiig the slowness of thc old Bear. The name was plainly painted nu the stern, anil the captain nf Ihe yacht havliii; seen that this was Ihe ship lie was after muved quickly alnngsidn again, this lime wilh only u couple of liun¬ dred feet of wnter helween tlie two ships. During the slight interval Ihe crew of the yacht had been busy, ami now a forbidding lonkiiigcannnn point¬ ed its ominous muzzle toward the Bear.
"I'm after  the gnld,  captain," said
the   first   speaker,   iiniu'lmlanlly,   "as
no doubt you are aware.    I'm going In
have it   quietly   or   I'm going lu sink
I your ship     Which is it to heV"
!       "Whatever gold we have  ou   hoard,
I if we  have   any,  isn't   miue.     I  dnnl
: see what good the sinking of the ahip
I will dn ynu, and   it wnnld be veiy iii-

' and   we'll   say   nn   mnre  alioiit   il.     I
I can take   a  joke   as well   as   the  next
I man."
I      Fnr a time it Innked as if the strang-
, er heeded the gnod  advice given him.
j The  captain  nf   the  yacht   rang   full
spee.l ahead   ami   the   sharp prow cut
the waler like a knife.     The yacht ile-
' scrilied a large   circle   and   seemed to
I be Hhowing niT ita   paces, lint this, as
the ni|itain nf the Bear remarked, was
uunecesaary. for he aheuily knew that
any scow   on  Ihe   Pacific   could   pass
him.     However, it   wan   snon   evident
, that this uas not the   iiilentinn of  the
i enemy.     Hanging alniigside nuce more,
j but this time furtlier  away, there was
a cloud nf sr.inke   from Ihe   cniinnn, a

nver the crisis for a moment you will see that nntliiiig else is left for me In do. II is Ihe only sufe plan; therefore I trust there will "lie nn tronlile."
There wasn't. The miners saw at once that there was liltle use in making a row. an.l in a shorl time the precious cargo waa transferred from the ship to the yacht. It came in boxes and bugs, in large i|uaiitities and in small, ami the man on the bridge opened every package so that there was no chance of fouling him. When the transfer waa comiilete the young -mau sang out:
"I wish you good day, captain, and a safe voyage. It mny strike you as strange that I dn nnt sink the ship now and so destroy all evidence Against me. I assure ynu that I guve fhe jilan the deepest consideratinii, and if, unfnrtunately, one life had been loat, you would all have gone to the bottom, bnt. as it is, this is nnly robbery or piracy, and I believe they dou't iiang for that now, so I cliiiiiee your evideuce against me, for I will be disembarked long before you cou reach thc ucarest telegraph oflice. So, if I were you, I would plug right along to Sau Francisco and not give me the trouble of culling at Victoria or any of those intervening ports. Well, so long,"
The yacht moved oway from the sbip at a 8]iecil wliich Hlinwed thut ull hopic of keeping her m sight for lnng wos hnpeless. Witli" snd hearts the pluudere.l iinsscngers wntched her grow .smaller uml smuller to thc snuth nf them, while tho Bear churued her leisurely course through tUo wovelcss seu.
.\t lost the lookout shnuted:
"Tho yacht's enming back, sir."
The captain put his glnsses tn his eyes and ga7,ed fnr a long time ot the horizon to the south.
"Hy jingo, she is," lie said, turning a trifle lesa ruddy. Then he said to the mate,   "Wlml dn you think nf it? "
"He's prnlinlily choiiged his mind and is going tn sink us. 1 thought he ilidn't seem tn be mnre than hulf ciin- viiii'i'.l when he tulkc.l nf nnt dning it. Whut nre we to dn? "
"I dnn't knnw anything tn dn," snid the pa|iluiii lio]ielessly, swearing inwardly that if he escaped he would have a fuster atcumer next vnynge or ipiil the high sens.
Everyone nliooril was now watching the nnrthern liniiiiil yiiclit, aTi.l llie same disquieting thnughl seemed tn mil thrnugh every miml, even liefore nne of the passengers guve vnice tn his fenrs. Suddenly the cuptaiu crie.l nut with hia glasses still tn his eyes:
"Sn help mel It's not the some ynciit.     lionk, ,Inel"
The mate examined the approach¬ ing steamer and coincided with the captoin's view. Snnu oil dnnlit was set ut rest. The nucnniing linat was seen tn be much lurger than Ihe yaclit and apparently much fuster, speedy aij Ihe nlher had seemed iu comiiarisnn with the Russian Bear. .\ hig black bearded giant with a voice like a fog hum was in cninmand. Ile wasted nn tinic in talk, but sent a shut towards the Bear, a shot that skipped along the water ami sunk without enming within dangerous distance. Once mora the Bussian Bear lowered her flng, slnwed dnwn and stnpiied. The nthor cnme up with her.
"We wont what gold you have on luianl," roared the man with the whis¬ kers.
"We haven't any, " rejilie.l the cup- tain;  "we've been—"
"I kmiw better. Ynu have Jo.OOll, IWIO wortli of the stuff with ynu and I'll have it withnut any more iiniiaeiiHe. I'm mil runniug a miiniilight excur¬ sion with a brass band ou Inard. Surrender, nr I'll sink you."
"Ynu're ton lale. We've been rnbbed alrea.ly."
"Oh, thai s tno thin. Every mnn hnld np his hands; we're going to lay alniigside an.l the man that moves gets shnl."
'You're wasting valuable time," sai.l the i'u]itaiii. "come rnund to the ntlier side and se.< the shnt he put Ihrnugh us, if ymi dnn't believe me. We don't get such marks as this un mnniilight cxciirMoiis, either."
"Here's the shol thut came throngh the side, " ciiri'nli<.rnleil the mate. hnld. lllg It up ill his hamls. .\ll nn Uiard cried olnn.l that this was true, and the pirate nia.le an emphati.' rcituirk re- gar.ling his future desliiialimi. uiuch was as likely as u.M  prnphetic

"Well, ynu dnn't look in eundition to drive a very hard one"
"Oh. I'ln iu lielter nhupe tlinn ynu think. We're gnnd fnr twn or three hours yel. You (imposed to cull this a joke and I in rea.ly to dn sn i|..w. We'll put the treasure back on y..ur ol.l tub aud ynu give us safe jiassnge to pnrt and nn questions aske.l nr nnswered when we go ashore. We're miners from Klon.like, we are. "
"That's compourding with piracy," objected the captain.
"Oh, no, it isn't. Yen Paid your¬ self it was a joke. Of course we were merely going to port to wait till ynu came, .\iiylinw, we're not going buck empty to get into prison, you cau nia^e up yuiir rr.ind on that pnint. We stnp jiiimpiiig and down she goes, gold and«ll."
The passengers implored the ca|>tain to let hygouea be bygones as long as the gold was recovered. The safety uf the gnld was his duty, they sai.l.
".\II right, "cried thecaptain. "Y'nu put the gnld ulinurd jnst ns ynu took it off. Then each man must cnme nn deck separately and must submit lu be put in irnns. I must insist ou that fnr the safely nf the ship. I'll let you free aa soon aa we nre tied up at the wharf."
