THE WIFE OF EDWIN FOREST.
SHE HA9 SECURED A FORTUNE AT LAST,
AFTER YEARS OF LITIGATION.
A New York correspondent of the
San Francisco Chronicle describes an
interview with Mrs. Catharine N. Sin
clair, who was the wife of Edwin For
est. Mrs. Sinclair, who is now living
on Staten Island, gave the corres
pondent the following account of the
results of her long litigation in re
gard to the payment of alimony out
of her claim for a dower in the estate
of Mr. Forest.
Our litigation began in 1850, but it
was not until 1852 that I secured a
verdict against him. grunting me a
full divorce, with iM.otkJ a year ali
mony, which was subsequently raised
to #4,000. During this period ho re
fused me any support, and when the
verdict was obtained lie appealed
against it, withholding the alimony
and contesting its payment at, every
poiht and on every legal quibble,
through all the oourts up to the Court
of Appeals. It was not until 1832
ten years after the verdict-that I
secured the final and unanimous
opinion of the Court of Appeals in
my favor. It is a great satisfaction
to me to recall that, through ail this :
protracted litigation there was, at no j
stage of it, nor iu any court, a single ,
decision adverse to me. I was sue-1
cessful as well on the minor issues
raised as on the general and final re
sult.
“Then at the end of the twelve
years of legal contest the alimony
that had been withheld was paid to
you iu bulk?”
“Yes, it was all finally paid; but.
not until I had obtained judgment,
against Mr. Forest’s sureties and
fought them through all the courts,;
as I had previously fought Mr. For-1
est.”
“Did you ever meet Mr. Forest, or
have any communication with him |
after this litigation?”
"I never saw him afterward, and |
never communicated with him. In j
his will he utterly ignored me, not
even mentioning my name.”
“You put in a claim for a dower iu |
liis estate, I believe?”
“Yes, and that was decided in my
favor. It is but just to say that his
executors treated me with the great
est respect and consideration. Of
course they could not admit any
claim without the action of the
courts of Philadelphia. Hut when
the Orphans’ Court, of Philadelphia,
which had jurisdiction iu the mat ter,
decided In my favor they tnude no
further resistance.”
“What was Mr. Forest’s estate
worth?”
“It was worth from #1,200,000 to
$1,500,W0: Some of his property
was in lauds, which could only be
disposed of to advantage by taking
time and watching the opportunities.
Instead of dower, I compromised
with the executors, resigning my
right of dower upon the payment
to me of an absolute sum. Tlioy paid
me $9 5,000 in money and securities. |
The balance of his estate goes to the
benevolent purposes to which he de
vised it.”
Rice Culture iu laiuiMlatin.
The rice crop of Louisiana is an
industry of increasing importance,
and particularly so from the fact that
its cultivation exacts the investment
of but a limited amount of capital.,
When Helds are once divided by
ditches, and a substantial culvert
and sluice gate, to admit the water
from the river, are constructed, every
preparation for commencing the cul
tivation of this product has been
made. The entire cost for preparing
the land and for seed is estimated at
$3.50 per acre. Its cultivation and
shocking amount to sl3 mere, and
the expenditure $6, forthreshing and
handling, sums up $22 for twelve
barrels of rough rice, which can bo
produced on one acre. Milling, |
freight, package, insurance, drayage
and commission will amount to $3.40 j
more, making a total expenditure of
$30.40 for twelve hundred pounds of
clean rice worth SB4. It will be seen
that a net profit of s47.fit) per acre is
thus given, making allow
ance for the wages of labor
ers and every "other expense.
One hundred acres has heretofore
been considered the task of three
men, which would pay each $1,588 33
for six months’ work, or salaries
that at the present time would be
pronounced enormous were the tal
ent and muscular force invested con
sidered. Really, however, their prof
its would be much greater. Plough
ing for rice entails scarcely any la-]
bor, the earth being turned up but a
few inches, and by performing their
twn work fully S3OO could be saved.
The same is true of cultivation, the
occasional flooding of the land being
the chief requisite. Only during the
harvest season would a large force
be required, and the adoption of the
newly-invented labor-saving ma
chines would materially reduce the
estimated cost. A time was when
that part of South Carolina flooded
by,the tide of Ashley and Cooper riv
ers was believed to be the only spot
of ground in America where rice
could be profitably cultivated. It
was also believed the African was the
only human being who could thrive
in the miasma the plenteous use of
tide-water generated. Both theories
have been disproved. Louisiana rice
is almost exclusively cultivated by
white laborers.—New Orleans Times.

Port Jervis (New York) Letter.]
Something like a year ago a quar
ryman named Fritz Simmons, living
in. the town of Saugerties, Ulster
1 county, and rarely earning enough
| to support himself and a lurge fuiul
; ly. received a letter postmarked
j “Freyburg, Germany.” It was writ*
i ton by a man who stated that he was
the attorney of the estate of Courud
Schmidt, an uncle of Simmons, who
had died, leaving a fortune of
some 50,000 guilders ($20,000, in
gold ), having no heirs but the nephew
.in Ulster county. Simmons was di
j rooted to have a power of attorney is-
I sued by the proper authorities iu this
country, upon the receipt of which by
i the German lawyer the fortune would
Ihe forthcoming. Simmons, who, by
the way, is an intelligent man, put
! no faith iu the statements of the let
j ter. although he had an uncle living
j in Freyburg by the name of Conrad
j Schmidt, but supposed it was the
work of sharpers who desired to ob
tain money from him on the pretense
of the fortune. He paid no attention
to the lettcr.and the alien instance was
soon forgotten by him. Since then, as
is now learned, the lawyer in Ger
many has been making inquiry by
letter in various places in this coun
try for the whereabouts of Fritz Sim
mons, and finally asked the German
Consul iu New York to aid him.
The Consul a short, time since wrote
to the postmaster of various places,
making inquiry for Simmons, ana
among them was the Postmaster at
Saugerties. Simmons was at once
notified of the receipt of the letter,
and the proper papers were made out
and sent to Germany. Last week he
received a gold draft for $20,000 from
the Consul, which he has been duly
honored, and the quarryinan is lifted
from poverty to comparative opu
lence.
IViirlns--Its Cast.
\Ye little think how much it costs
to inclose our fields. The items are:
Ist, the cost of the rails, made and
put in position, and 2nd, the use of
the ground on which the fence
stands.
Let us take n county averaging
thirty miles each wav. It has 300
square miles. One half of this prob
ably is under cultivation. That is
one half is “fenced in” ami if you
please, the other half is “funned out.”
Counting for cross-fences, double
fences, (lanes) and small lots, t,ho to
tal of rails used is about 2,000 panuela
for each square mile; or, 1,800,000 pan
nels for the county referred to. If
we count eight rails as the height, it
gives us 14,400,000 rails; and to make
and put rails in position is worth $3 I
per 100, or 3 cts. per rail, giving a to
tal cost, of $432,(Ki11.
The ground occupied by the
amount of fence stated, will amount,
to 2,912 acres. This soil is cleared
but cannot ba cultivated because of
the fence; but, cultivated would be
worth at least #6 per acre; or, 168,720
dollars each year; and in ten years
3,687,290 dollars.
To this add the cost of the total
fence, and we have 2,119,200. Divide
this amount by ten, and wo have 211, ]
921 dollars as the annual cost, in fact,
of such a county’s fencing; and the
only equivalent for it received by the
people of the county is what field
pasturage and wood grazing their
stock gets.
If one-fourth of such amounts were
expended in moveable pannel fences
for lands to be grazed, and allow the
other area to stand open as it should,
the people of such a county would
prosper in all respects as well or bet- j
ter than they now do ifence up.) and
would have over $150,000 a year for
schools and churches.

The Independence Beige tells a
story of a Jesuit priest who, during
the jubilee mission, was excessively
disappointed at finding none but fe
male listeners to his sermons. On
the day before his final ministration
he thus addressed Ida admiring con
gregation: “It is great comfort to us
that, you have duly confessed your
sins every day to us. but that, is not
enough; we wish to see your hus
bands, fathers and brothers present
also. Tell them, therefore, that if
they will assemble here to-morrow I
will teach them how to make an ex
cellent pair of shoes in five minute*.”
As might be expected, the church on
t he ensuing day was crowded to over
flowing. when the Jesuit, having de
livered himself of a diatribe against
liberalism as the beginning, middle
and end of all evil, told his hearers
that, as no doubt curiosity had
brought them there, lie would now
gratify it, and stooping down he took
a pair of boots from the floor, and in
five minutes shaped them with a pair
of shears into a servicable pair of
shoes.
Mr. Beecher writes a “star paper”]
about the question of honesty in- 1
volved in keeping the stamps sent to ■
him in letters requesting autographs, j
He says that a variety of opinions]
exist, and tells of a man who burns i
them “on the ground that he cannot
use them for the puspOsc intended by
the sender, and that it is not honest I
to use another man’s property for 1
our own ends.”
Philadelphia is in a peck of trouble
because the late Stephen Girard, in
bestowing on the city certain proper
ty forcoilcge purposes, provided that
it should never be cut up by streets
or alleys. It is now wanted for these
purposes, and it is proposed to tunnel
under it a passway for streets, and
all bOres of the country are
invited to take a hail I. It is thought
that George Alfred Townsend or Eli
Perkins will secure tin 1 contract.
What has become of Bt. Patrick? A
snake has been discovered in Ireland.
A gardener found the reptile—a large
] blaek-and-yellow creature five feet
] long. Possibly it may have escaped

The Commercial Advertiser claims
to have information from Cuba re
garding two battles fought, in which
the Spaniards were defeated, and
says the Spanish General, Sabos Ma
rin, suffered a disastrous defeat in a
battle with Gen. Gomes. He then
attempted to form a junction with
another Spanish corps, but was over
taken and overwhelmingly routed,
being himself mortally wounded.
I New York, N0v.30.-A Washington
special to the Post says prominent
i Democrats are very confident that
; Kerr will defeat Randall for the

lis losing him many votes among

Wilksbarbe, Pa., Nov. 30.-- The re
ports which have gone abroad from
hereabout the coving in of the Union
and Grand Tunnel mines below Ply
mouth, are very much exaggerated.
In fact, thoro has been no caving in
at all. A portion of the roof of the
Union fell, but the houses built over
the mines were not disturbed in the
least. A crack of several inches in
width is the only thing noticeable on
the surface. There have been hun
dreds of mining casualties in this val
ley much more serious to property,
to say nothing of the loss of life. The
only damage done to the Grand Tun
nel mine was caused by the fall of
the roof in the Union, and it is in no
way serious. Competent persons
have offered to put the mine in good
order for $5,000. They are now work
ing in it regularly.
