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. THE DAILY TIMES. A <tl AURYMAVS I I I K. J A FORTUNE OF TWENTY THOUSAND DOL LARS BEGS HIS ACCEPTANCE AFTER MONTHS OF SEARCH. 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 ] from a “snaix sho.” 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 j Speakership.

SMITH OFT OF THE RINIi. TREASURER JONES—MUNICIPAL POLITICS. Special to the Daily Time*. Atlanta, Nov. 30.—1 t is stated on good authority that Treasurer Jones’ affairs will remain quiet until the ex piration of the time allowed him by law. The municipal politics are ab sorbing the public interest to-day. The Radicals are working hard to carry the election to-morrow. The result of the registration at the close shows the Democrats to be one thousand ahead. The Herald says editorially, on au thority of the Governor, that he pos itively refuses to lio a candidate for re-election. Bfaton. - Florida Xew*.

They are to run up to Pa latka and return, milking the same number of stops. The owners of the Sedgewick have issued invitations to most of our business men to take a trip on the boat, when a grund din ner will be served and a general good time is expected.

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. AuKtixln Races. Special to tin Daily Times by 8. A A. Lino. Auousta, Ga., Nov. 30.—The race of yesterday was finished to-day, Mary Long winning. Time, 1:49J.
