A Lost Will.
0 wH AT IT was worth to a woman.
Two or three months Ago J. Rowell, the
furniture dealer on Michigan avenue, set
S overhauling a desk filled with old
which had been accumu
utine on his hands for several years, until
[.could scarcely say where or how he
the most of them. After throwing
y * bushel or more of the documents,
lie came upon H P”P er seall, d and tied
with red tape. He could not remember
harms seen it before and was amazed
•hen he broke the seals and read : “Last
will and testament of Israel Whitworth.”
Ge ting further down lie tound that the
M per was nine years old, and that the will
L e to “ Margaret Davis, my sister, or
her children, the Gordon farm, situate two
undone half miles from St. Joseph, Mo.,
toeetber with all live stock and farming
insils; further the sum of $5,000 in
bask in St. Joseph, (unless I shall have
rillidrawn it,) my gold watch, my house
hold furniture, and one half of what my
house may bring gt private sale.
So read the will so far as her sister ana
her kin were concerned, and then W hit
worth made bequest to several other rela
tives. The will was dated “Detroit, Au
gust 10, 1863.” It occurred to Mr Rowell
that the will might be of some account to
oiii6 one, and be wrote to Mrs. Davis, di
recting the letter to St. Joseph, Mo. In
about two weeks he received a reply from
her, dated at Weston, same State, his let
ter having been forwarded to that place.
She stated that her brother had been dead
nearly eight years, and that she never had
known of a will. The property had been
divided among four near relatives of the
deceased, or should have beeu, but three
of them had cheated her out of most ot
what fell to her in dividing up. She fur
ther stated that her brother had a cousin
in Detroit years ago, and that lie was in
this city on a visit, about the . dale ot the
will. The cousin’s name was signed as
oueofthe witnesses, and a Mr. Johnson,
now in Cincinnati, was the other witness.
Howell sent on the will, and Friday last
lie received a grateful letter from the wo
man, who said that the will had beeu ad
mitted to probate there, the witnesses call
ed on, and that she had been put in pos
session of nearly $20,000 through his find
ing the will. She cautioned him to look
nut for an express package, and will prob
ably send something handsome. The puz
zling thing of the whole is that Rowell
can’t tell when or where he got the will,
nor imagine how the deceased came to
leave it where it would fall into the hands
of a stranger. Mr. Whitworth might have
lost it, or left it where he could not find it,
aud finally concluded that it was destioy
ed, and for reasons satisfactoiy to himself
did not make another will. The case is a
curious one, but Rowell has the letters to
prove that it is a true one.— from the De
troit Free Press.
A Young Lndy Farmer.
AN ILLINOIS GIRL’S SUCCESS AS A KAU
mkr_from: the seminary to me
CORNFIELD.
We lately had the pleasure of “inter
viewing” a Miss A., of Illinois, who, for
some years past, has been engaged in
carrying on a farm of one hundred and
twenty acres.
Her father died, leaving a vyidow and,
we believe, two daughters and a boy, of
whom Miss A. was the eldest, and the
bey a lad of ten or a dozen years old. She
found the health of her mother, who was
eudeavoring to manage the farm with
hired help, failing, and concluding that
(he would rather keep her mother than get
an education, she left the seminary in
1863 and commenced farming. The farm at
that time consisted of eighty acres of the
home farm, about half of which was in
cultivation ; and at a little distance were
forty acres more, all in cultivation. 'I lie
home farm had a pretty good house, but
the barn had recently been burned, and
the fences were not good. Twelve acres
had been planted in apples of good varie
ties. She had one horse, and got the loan
of another from a friend, who also aids
*nd is aided in turn by lending imple
ments, etc. She has now a good team
of her own raising, besides a horse that
does duty in the market wagon
So she went to work, with the aid of
her little brother, and, to some extent, of
her mother and sister, who took charge of
the housekeeping. She learned to do
uearly all kinds of work. She does not
plow much, but she can do it. She took
out fifty to one hundred stumps of trees
one year with a spade, an ax, and, at the
same time, assisting her brother who was
drilling wheat. She bound and shocked
wheat, and can drive a team well. She Can
use an ax pretty well; formerly she could
chop better than her brother, but now he
chops as well as she can herself, and she
does less of it. She wears a gymnastic
suit when at home and at work, a broad
brimmed hat, gloves, and boots made to
order. She wishes to look as well as
other girls, and thus protects herself from
the exposure resulting from out-door labor.
She likes the open-air life aud out door
work, and is healthy and strong.
Most of the home farm is cultivated in
com. though she has eight acres in grass,
nd twelve in orchard. She raised twenty
three acres of winter wheat in 1872. It
was a fine crop, but she lost from three to
five acres from the failure of the man she
had engaged to cut it in time. Even then,
with scarce and inefficient labor, by that
coble class of men that are always willing
to take advantage of those who cannot
help themselves, it costs IfeV SBO to liar
vest aud thresh the wheat. Yet she
four hundred and fifty bushels'of wheat,
weighing sixty-two pounds to the bushel.
The young orchard bore a good deal of
fruit in 1872, and she sold one hundred
barrels of summer apples, aud has one
hundred and fifty bushels of apples now
iu the cellar. Bhe took most of the apples
to market herself, selling some of them as
low as seventy five cents per barrel, and
some as high as one dollar.— Prairie Far

ENGLAND 8 IJUKKN AT CIIISLEHURBT.
[Eroin the London Daily Telegraph, Feb. 21..
Yesterday the Queen, accompanied by
the Princess Beatrice, and attended by La
dy Churchill and Col. Ashley Maude,pud
a visit to the Empress Eugeuie, at Chisel
hurst. The Queen has, it is known, long
contemplated a personal expression of con
dolence with the Empress in her sorrow ;
and the feeling which her Majesty has
been desirous of placing on record, with
respect to her faithful ally, the Emperor
Napoleon 111., has been also indicated by
the offering which she has made of a tomb
to be placed within a chapel which the
Empress is about to raise for the reception
of the Imperial remains.
Her Majesty, the Princess Beatrice, and
suite left Windsor Castle yesterday morn
ing shortly after ten o'clock, and driving
to the station of the Soul western Railway
Company, entered the special train which
was to convey them to Chiselhurst. Mr.
Cockburn had charge ot the train, which
consisted of two iovhl saloons and other
carriages. Chiselhurst Station was reached
by 11:20, aud on the platform were Lord
and Lady Sidney, whose residene is in the
neighborhood. By them Her Majesty was
received on alighting, and was conducted
to one of the State carriages, which hud
been sent down from London. The car
riage, drawn by four horses, and preceded
by outriders, was driven at once to to the
little church of St. Mary, scarcely more
than half a mile beyond Camden place.
There are few, if any persons who
know, from written or spoken description
what kind of quiet rustic spot it is in
which the eofiiuof the Emperor Napoleon
rests for a time. The little ivy colored side
chapel, nestling between the church wall
aud the house of the cure, Father Goddarc
has been visited by tens of thousands
There is a grated opening from this place
of Imperial sepulture to the interior of the
church—itself a building so small that it
would scarcely be noticed were it in turn
attached to some stately cathedral. En
tering the now historical church of Bt.
Mary, in lanes by Chiselhurst Common,
the Queen remained some time by the Em
peror’s tomb. The wreaths are there
which had been heaped in a sad profusion
when the coffin was first carried in the
diminutive chapel. Among those wreaths
the Queen noticed the 11101‘uary tributes
which she herself,her sous,and her daugh
ters had sent. Leaving the tomb after a
while, Her Majesty was led by Mr. God
dard, the priest, to au outer site very near
the church, where is to be erected by the
Empress, and dedicated to the Virgin, that
little chapel within which will be placed
the tomb of Scotch Granite, offered by the
Queen. This newly-planned sarcophagus
which is already in course of construction
will resemble iu form and fashion that
which holds the remains of the Duchess
of Kent, Having surveyed the ground of
the intended chapel, Her Majesty quitted
the small, neatly kept cemetery of St.
Mary's Church, and re entering the car
riage, was conveyed to Camden-place.
On the steps of the entrance porch the
Queen was received by the Empress and
son. That the meeting was one. indeed,
of a most sympathetic kind may well be
imagined. Their Majesties retired together
to tire private apartments of the Empress
while the Prince Napoleon, the Princess
Beatrice, and the Princess Murat remained
in the salon de reception. The time passed
by the Queen and Empress in private con
versation was nearly an hour ; and shortly
before tbe departure of her Majesty, a few
of those devoted followers of the Empe
ror, who had borne him company in bis
exile, both in Germany aud in England,
were presented. Prominent among those
faithful adherents of a fallen dynasty were
the Due de Bassifno formerly Grand Cliain
belain of the Empire ; the Comte Devil
liers, First Equerry ; the Comte Clary,
Aide de Camp ; 31. Francescliiui Pietri,
Private Secretary ; Dr. Conneau and his
son, Dr. CorvDart ; and 31. Filon, the
Prince’s tutor. The ladies presented to
the Queen were the Princess 3lurat the
Duchesse de Montero, Mmc. Lebretou-
Bourbaki, and Mile. Larminat.
Haviug taken au affectionate leave of the
Empress and tbe Prince Napoleon, Her
Majesty drove back to Cbisleburst Station,
and returned to Windsor by tbe way of
Newcross, London Bridge, Waterloo, and
Staines, terminating the railway journey
at about 1 1-2 o’clock. Her 31ajesty and
tbe Princess Beatrice then drove to the
C-stle.

The New Game ok Push as Played
in San Francisco
From the San Francisco Post.)
Since the partial suppression of faro,
other games of change have increased to
such au extent that now nearly every other
saloon boasts its poker, seven-up, aud push
game. Almost every body is familiar
with the former games, but the latter is a
recent invention, which had its birth on
the city front, where it is played to an
alarming extent, hundreds of dollars night
ly changing hands at the game. The
manner of playing is peculiarly simple,
and can be readily understood by even
those who have little or no knowledge of
cards. Yet this simple game, which is
being so rapidly popularized because of its
simplicity, is a banking game, and comes
MACON, OA., SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1873.
withjn the meaning ol the students that
defines what constitutes such games. -
The mode of playing the game is thiss A
number of men teat themselves arouiW a
table with a pack of cards, one of whom
deals. Each man places the amount of
money lie desires to bet in the center of the
table. The cards, after being dealt are
pm al around, and each player including
the dealer, selects one, which, is burned
up and placed on the table in front of him.
Ths dealer selects his card last, aud places
it face upward on the table. If hia card
is higher than any of the rest they each
pay him the amount of money they bet.
Should any or all of the players hold a
higher card than the dealer, he pays over
the necessary amount. The next man
than becomes the dealer, and so on at in
finitum, each man iu turn becoming a
dealer, aud at the same time banker.
Thus each party who plays at the game is
liable under the law as a principal, not as
a participant.

communication with the planting Intereets.
We will be happy at any time to furnish refer
