Curious Law Case.-The New York cor
respondent Of the Syracuse Star has the fol-
lowing; -
ga curious case IS now before tho Shtfc1
gate, Of which the following is an outline:
A Turkish gentleman, accompanied by his
three wives and children, arrived in this city
year agm being possessed Of property,
he purchased in due time house for cach
Of them. A short time since he died with.
out making will, leaving property OF
about one hundred thousand dollars. The
wives have applied for letters Of adminisira-
ton in behalf Of themselves and children.
The Surrogate is puzzled; he does not see
how lie can grant them to three wives at
once, but he thnls he ought to grant tlicin
to the one married first. But in Turkish
marriage there Is no distinction made be-
tween the first and last, even If the number
of wives amount to thousand and more.
IT one wife were admitted to administer, il
would have the effect Of making the other
two his concubnes only, and their children
ilegitma,e. and neither the wives or clnl-
drch would be entitled TO inherit any Of his
property. What decision he may ultimate
~ come to, cannot say, but believe they
ought to be considered wives in commcn,
and letters granted to them conformity"

TAITIILEsS NELLY GRAY.

ny THOMAS HOOD.
Ben Battle was n soldier bold,
And used 10 wars alarms;
But a cannon ball took off bis legs,
So he laid down his arms
Now as they bore him off the fell,
Said he, 'Let others shoot,
For here leave my second leg,
And the Forty-second FoOt'
The army surgeons made him limbs;
Said he, They're only pegs;
But there's as wooden members qui,e
AS represent my legS.'
Now ben he loved a pretty maid,
Her name was Nelly Gray;
So he went to pay her his devours,
When he'd devoured his pay!
But when he called on Nelly Gray,
She made him quite a scoT,
And when she saw his wooden legs,
Began TO take them off!
ooh, Nelly Gray !! Oh, Nelly Gray,
Is this your true love warm?
The love that loyes scarlet coat,
SHOulu nc more UNIFORM"
Said she, Il loved n soldier once,
For he was blithe and brave;
But | will never have a man
With both legs in the grave!
Before you had those timber toes,
Your love | did allow,
Bat then, you know, you stand upon
Another footing nowr
'Ol,, Nelly Gray! Oh, Nelly Cray.
For all your iecrinG speeches,
At duty'S call | left my legs
In BadjadoS' brsachesr
'Why then said she, you've lost the fec
Oflsss in wars alarms,
And now you cannot wear your shoes
Upon your feats Of arms.'
ooh, false and tickle Nelly Gray!
| know why you refuse;
Though Eve no icet--Somc ether mar
Is standing in my shoes!
l wish meier had seen your face;
But, now, a long farewell
For You will be my death alas
You will not be my NrLLr
Now, when he went from Nelly Gray
His heart so heavy got,
And life was such burden grown,
ltmade him take a knott
So round his melancholy neck,
\ rope he did ontwnc,
And for the second time in life,
Enlisted in the Line!
One end he tied around the beam,
And then removed his pegs,
And, rs his legs were olT-or course.
lie soon was of his legs.
- &c.. - So
As any nail in town
For though distress had cut him up,
II could not cut him down.

Yankee Doodle in Nerico.- ODDS Last
night we had an exciting scene at tho thea
ire. Between the pieces the orchestra,
which Is really avery fine one, gave us
two or three beautiful airs, and concluded
with Mexican Lational air. As soon az
they finished. the audience, being mostly
American, called for Yankee Doodle: but
the orchestra paid no alterations They
stamped and raped, as il they would bring
the house down over heads. but still the or
cheslIa needed not. At length the bell
rang, and up went tie curtain. The audi
ence seemed for an instant as if they were
willing TO give it up; but at this moment
tall, slab sidcd-loohing genius, who bore the
appearance Of being real thorough bred
often heard fiat YanReecD6ouis was 'Ine
Anne ricans' fghtin tune: but as the darlled
etarnel Grcasers kept us so busy while we
were fghtn' that we couldn't have time
even to whistle a little, think we might
have little touch of Uncle Sans favorite,
tits only to make Teller think Of the
white Settlements" This acted like an
electric shock upon the audience, and they
| rccominc TIC ed their calls for lank ee- Doodle.
| TIE actors appeared upon the stage, but
still they continued to stamp ard hnlloO.
Sonora Canctte bowed gracefully, and sfnil-
cd bewitchinsly, but it was no use; they
had determined ON hearing cur national air,
and nothing could persuade them from il.
! The actors withdrew. the curtain fell, the
orchestra complied with their demands, nnd
/ thc balance Of the evenings entertainment
passed on in excellent order. A Mexican
gentleman, sitting in front Of me, remarked
to his friend, that il was the best illustration
Il the American character he Rad ever
wi'pcSsed-that wien they once d.ieiinin-
apon anything, neither the Grmness Of man,
nor the solicitation Of woman, could induce
them 70 cease in their exertiohs until they
had accomplished their object, and that in
zen minutes after or lefore any efforts, you
would think, from their appearance, that
they were as dociic as lambs and as harmless
rs infants. MUSTANG.
