CURRENT TOPICS, 
Th« Will of Wm. H. Seward. 
The Will of Mr. Seward was opened by the 
family Oot. 16. It la a clear, succinct document, 
singularly free front legal teolmicalitiee, and 
written entirely in hlaown hand. He bequeath* 
his late borne at Auburn, with all its contents 
and surroundings, to his three sons, by one or 
more of whom it will doubtlessb® occupied and 
preserved JntaoL as far as possible, in its present 
condition. His other property, consisting in 
part of scoiirllles, but mainly of real estate in 
Auburn and in this locality, he divides into four 
equal shares among his sons Augustus, J* red- 
erick and William, and his adopted daughter, 
Olive Bliley Seward— the last two being deputed 
to execute tills provision of the instrument. 
No other legacies or bequests are made. The 
property has not yet been appraised, and it is 
impossible to say precisely what it amounts to. 
Estimates vary, but it will probably be not far 
from $200,000. 
Prof. John Tyndall 
is lecturing in Boston, and seems to have won 
great regard there by his lectures and accom¬ 
panying demonstrations. In person, Prof. T,vn- 
Vhtll is a gentleman of medium high! and rather 
slight iw build. His features are slight, and his 
manner betokens the accomplished and genial 
gentleman. H is experiment* are very brilliant, 
and are graphically explained, lie is one of 
those who believe Dial science and practice are 
related, and that Industrial England and Indus¬ 
trial America could not exist as it ®1oes lo-day 
without the aid of wlmt seem to be the aimless 
experiments of scientists. The only fault we 
have to And with scientists is, 1 hat too often 
their only aim is to secure for themselves the 
abstract fame of discoverers—they do not have 
for an object, the benefiting the human family. 
There arc exceptions to this rule, and we honor 
such. 
Sir Alexander Cockborn’s Protest. 
Our readers know I hat the Brit ish Arbitra¬ 
tor at the Genova Conference refused to sign 
the award tu favor of the United States made 
by the Court, and thnl he has published it vol¬ 
ume of reasons for this refusal to act. These 
reasons are hailed with delight by certain Brit¬ 
ish politicians and tbal portion of the English 
people who have no good feeling for the United 
State*. Ho (Sir A lexander) attacks M. Staempfli, 
the Swiss arbitrator, more than inDmating 
that be was biased against Great Britain, and 
sneers at bis views of International obligations, 
'ftsserting that they are founded on vague no¬ 
tions of general justice rather than on prece¬ 
dent. This wc regard admirable; for if prece¬ 
dent does not accord with justice, it is time jus¬ 
tice should be substituted.

The People’# Friend. — It is susceptible of 
easy proof that Die Sewing Machine has been 
a greater blessing to the masses of Amerionn 
people than any invention of the present cen¬ 
tury. Nothing else has done so much to save 
the lives and health of the wives and mothers 
—the patient, overworked women of tho land— 
who, as a class, most needed relief from the 
burthens of everyday life- Every father and 
husband fails in his duty if he neglects to endow 
his home with such a triumph of science as the 
Wilson Under-Feed Sewing Machine. If Is tlie 
cheapest and best, sewing machine ever offered.

tribes of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Colo¬

the whole Indian question Is very hopeful, and 
that the stories concerning the Indian War In 
Utah arc, in tho main, fabrications. The Crows, 
Piegnns, Bloods, Bhu'kfeet, Shoshone and Ban¬ 
nock Indians are peaceful, and desire continued 
peace. The Shoshones have, by treaty, agreed 
to cede to the United States 800,000 acres of their 
reservation which, when tho treaty is ratified 
by Congtess, will be thrown open to settlement. 
The territory thus to be ceded contains much 
valuable mining, farming and grazing land.

Senator Sumner and Minister Washburne. 
One of tho current topics of comment in 
Paris is said to bo the fact that the American 
Minister Washburne, has not formally presented 
Senator Sumner 10 Presklent Thiers. An effort 
is making to give It the color of a political af¬ 
front to the Senator on the part of the repre¬ 
sentative of the Washington administration. 
We cannot believe it. We do not believe Min¬ 
ister Washburne is made of any such stuff. It 
is quite as likely that Mr. Sumner would rofuse 
to receive such offices from the Minister as that 
the Minister should ueglect to tender them. 
Depopulation of Alsace-Loralne. 
The number of French who rofuse to live 
under and become subject to the German Gov¬ 
ernment, in the provinces above named, Is very 
large. Every available means of transporta¬ 
tion out of the eouutry have been adopted, and 
in Metz it is asserted there are only seventeen 
persons of an age to serve and subject as re¬ 
cruits remaining; in Obemai, of <5,000 Inhabit¬ 
ants, only 3 remain ; Havre has sent 1,400 of her 
population away. The exodus has been great, 
and the feeling which inspired it bitter in the 
extreme. 
“Coldsmlth Maid” and “Occident.” 
“Goldsmith Maid" has made quite a repu¬ 
tation for speeding during the past year. Not 
long since it was asserted that California had a 
horse known as “Occident,” that was as fast or 
faster, than the “Maid.” A match for $10,000 
between the two was made, and October 16 the 
race came off, ten thousand people being pres¬ 
ent. “Goldsmith Maid" won the race lu three 
straight heats. Time—2.20)4 ; 2.2014 > 2.22.
