Hubetunco of the opinion is that when
the person tendering takes the risk of the
oenpon being genuine, and tho officer
refuses the tender nnd levies for
the tax, he then takes tho risk of the oou-
pon being spurious. If in suit thereafter
brought against the officer for unlawful
levy it should be proved that the coupon
tendered was spurious, the plaintiff would
foil in his suit, but if it should be proved
that the coupon was genuine the officer
wonld have been a trespasser in levying
and liable for damages. This construction
of the law seems to make it impossible for
the State to collect her revenue until she

The will of the late Charles Cohn, who at
one time waa the city editor of the Htaata

paper in the English language and dated
October 21, 1804. The envelope in which

of Ur. Cohn, on the bock of which was
writt n in a bold hand, “My congratula
tions to my heirs.”
The will begins with the statement that
Mr. Cohn was born at Breslau, Silesia,
January 24tb, 1825, and then enumerates
tbe property ho owned at tbe Ume be made
it, comprising <15,000 of railroad and city
bonds, and <t,'JU0 in cash is deposited in
savings bonks. “I want my body cre
mated," be wrote, “withont any ceremony
whatever, in tbe simplest and least expen
sive way; I want my aahes to be sprinkled
around a tree ox in a garden plot, wherathe
rain can mix my remains with the soil or
the winds diapona of them otherwise. lUv
ing always followed the advice, ’pay as you
go,’" the testator rays, “I have no debts
except (or those services rendered raeinm’f
last boars and after my daath. To
ail my account* will, therefore, be on eaey
affair. Any other claims against my estate
bat those abive indicated may be consid
ered by my executor as prims fads avi-
denes of intended band.”
He directs that hi* bend* shall be (old
and deposited in Braalan, and th* ineom*
paid to hi* Oily si*tar, Eradarika Cohn,
daring her life. After hi r death the money
will la- divided Into 100 parte, most of
which will go lo rtlativea, bat one part will
