TUESDAY JULY 7,1874.
« A K«c« l*r lift-
As by a recent deeieion of the Sapreme
Court of the United State., It i. held the*
sympathizer*
have only a life tenure therein, auooeea-
fnl attempt* have been made by many-of
pwcawr™?
obabilitr of life whioto attaches to the
orm« owner. But probabilitiea or n-
'pecUtioua of life often prove deceptive.
■With the moat robust, life .is uncertain,
"and few of the former owners of confis-
' cated property are'at present leas than

Y their reasonable expectation of life ia

Orleans happens to have been the 1,0s-
aessor of a number of piooee of real es
tate which passed into the possession of
I olher . under the oonllaoating hammer.
.Mmthalfaave on. of tb«e pu.eh.ro>. he
be. succeeded in making satisfactory
terms. That one stands aloof ; he will
neither give nor take. '
The former owner said to him : “Your
# tenure is uncertain. I may die any day,
and it will end your claim at onoe. At
the most it oannot closed half the ap-
nraised value of the property. Let it be
Spp«T«d, and I wiU give you half the
amount of the appraisement for your quit
olaim, or take half of said amount and
l# °Thla*v««r U »s5»tMiakl» proposition was
refused. The former owner then indi-
reetly proposed the wager of battle, even
shing se far ns to oBerBve hundred dol
lars boons‘for a light. But he who holds
the bird in the hind has no fancy for an
arbitrament of that character. Be
shrewdly argues: “If I am killed, I shall
have no further use for the property, and
if I kill my adversary, my life tenure at
onoe cesses. With any result I must be
the loser. No fight for me on such un-
equal terms.” . ..
Tbe matter, therefore, i« referred to the
supreme tribunal ffWoh has speoiel con
trol over vital statistics, and the question
now ia, “Which, in the oourse of nature,
will die first—the present or the former
possessor ?” The race ia that of two lives,
and the property in question is the stake.

A Great Chinaman.
Frcrn the Buffalo Express ]
Oo Siturdsy evening Wong Ohin Foo,
a noted Chinese rebel leader, and former
ly occupying the position of interpreter
to the Emperor of China, arrived in this
oity and registered at the Continental
Hotel, where be is now staying. He is
the son of an officer in the Chinese Gov
ernment, and has received a first olass
v English education at Columbia College in
this country. In 18G9, after four or five
years spent in study and travel, he re
turned home and soon met with high of
ficial appointment. Beooming dissatisfied
with the Emperor, a Tartar by birth, he
headed a rebellion against him, but de
feated by the Imperial foroes, Wong was
compelled to flee the eountry to esospe
the late of his brother officers, some fifty
of whom were executed. Through the
kindness and assistance of Col. Charles
O. Shepard, United States Coasnl at
Yokohome, for whom he entertained a
lively sense of gratitude, the refugee was
enabled to make hia escape safely to tbo
United States. Shortly after his arrival
in Ban Francisoo he was brought promi
nently before Ihe public by bringing
eighteen young Chinese emigrant girls
before the oourts and showing that they
were brought here for the purposes of
prostitution. They were sent back to
China, and Wong's oourse in the matter
Sffiwnp to have brought down on him the
peculiar displeasure of a certain class of
his oountrymen in San Franoisoo by whom
two attempts were made to assassinate
him. Chin Foo is a short, wiry Celestial,
t attired in the full costume of hia country,
including the one, and has a pleasing sod
gentlsmanly address. He is now travel-
•f fog through the country on the way to
Europe.
▲ Letter of Pina IX.
On Jane 16, the twenty-eighth year
> passed away since the eleotion of Pius IX.
as Pope. The following letter, which he
. sent to hia brother at Binigaglia ou the
day of his eleotion, June 1G, 1846, may be
of interest at this time:
“June 16, 1846.
« Most Dearly Beloved Brothers, Giuseppe
and Gaetano:
' God, the blessed one, who humbleth
and exaltelh hath been pleased to raise
■ me, who am so base, to the highest digni
ty on earth. His most holy will be ever-
more done. I know in some measure the
almost boundless weight of snob a charge
and know equally iny poverty, not to
speak of the otter nothingness of my
spirit. Cause prayer to be offered up,
and pray for me yourself. The oonclave
has lasted forty-eight hours. If the City
of Siuigaglia should like to go some ex
pense iu the way of demonstrations, en
deavor, I expessly desire it also, that the
sum to be expended be all laid out in
things usoful for the city, in the judg
ment of the Mayor and Council. As to
vou, my dear brothers, I embranoe you
both heartily in Jeans Christ. Far from
exulting, rather compassionate yonr
brother, who gives the Apostolioal bles
sing to all. Pius IX.“
A Doubter.
There was onoe a man who lived in
Gass county, Georgia, many years ago,
who bad onoe been in tfl^ State Legi Ma
ture, and never negleoted an opportunity
to emphasize the fact. He was a perfect
infidel as to new discoveries and new
•oienoes, being well satisfied that if the
world should turn over the water would
spill out of his well, and only giving iu to
■team cars by slow degrees. But all the
fials of his ooutempt were poured out up
on the idea of a telegraph, and he waB
wont to say that nobody need try to oorne
“tbo green” over him in that way, for he
. had been to the Legislature. Finally the
State Road was built, and one day work-
itmcn bogan to put up telegraph posts
right iu front of the house aud to stretch
the wire. His exultant neighbors thought
they had him on that occasion, aud aHkud,
“well, old fellow, what do you think of
telegraphs now ?” He was cornered, but
died game. Drawing himself up an inch
teller he said, “Gentlemen, when I w as
in the Legislature I gave this subject my
very attentive consideration, and I said
then, as I say now, that it may do for let
ters and small bundles, bat it will never
take a ootton bale, never!"
