C ) Sen tinel, woman suffrage waa practically carried out in Johnston county, in that State, at the last election, and the people there are warned to beware of the same trick again. The Sentinelof July 17tb, •ays: “Major Smith, President of the North Carolina Railroad, told it himself, that he voted two hundred negro women in Johnston county, by having them dress ed in men’s clothes. His plan was this The Register’s books were kept open all day ; tbe women in breeches registered when taken to tbe polls; the law for bade any min to challenge, so they were obliged to vote. At that election the uegroes carried Johnston by four hun dred and more. At the subsequent election no women voted, and tbe white folks carried the election by five hun dred and more.” A Nut for Lawyers to Crack—Hart ford, Connecticut, has a will case that ie exciting considerable interest. One of the journals states it and solves it at the same time. It says: “A. provided by will just before his death, in expectation of the birth of a child, that if a son tias born he should have two-thirds of his father’s estate and his mother one-third; but if the child was a daughter, she should have one- third and her mother two-thirds of the same estate. After A’s death twins—a son and a daughter—are born- How shall the property be divided ? This is nothing more than a very old problem, founded on an actual occurrence, once of considerable repute, and retained in va- rious shapes in several algebras and higher arithmetics in use at the present day. Its solution is comparatively easy. The manifest intent of the testator is that the son’s share shall be twice as large as the mother’s, and tbe mother’s twice as large as the daughter’s. Call the daughter’s share one. The mother*! will be two, and tbe son’s four. Wo need then only divide tbe estate into seven equal parts, giving four to the son, two to the mother and one to the daughter.” Charles Lever, the^nevelist, has been made an LL. D. by Trinity College, Dublin.
