It has been truly said that the best govern- ment is not that which renders the indivi- dual. happlest, but that which renders the greatest number happy; and it is on this sensible basis that all enlightened modern governments are supposed to be conducted..

AN American contemporary says that the recent sale of some of the late Edwin Forrest's effects in Philadelphia recalls a singular circumstance

concerning his estate. Pending the divorce pro- ceedings between him and his wife, he deeded his property in equal shares to his three sisters. Sooa one of the sisters died, and her share re vered to the other two and to Edwin. Then the second sister died, and her share, with what had been left to her by the first sister, came to the third sister and to Edwin. Finally the remain for its proper drainage, to become aing sister died, and Edwin Forrest, being the favorite resort for the foreign population of sole heir, again became possessed of all the
