WRONG REPAIRED.
A Touching Story of fhe Relations
of Irish Landlord and Tenant.

A. curious story, and one in which
Irish landlord and tenant play hitherto
unique part, comes from Galway. A
certain Captain, Nolan, coming many
years ago into possession. of = large es-
tates, while still young man, made
some effort TO improve them, and for
this purpose evicted three Irish families
from the land they had held for one or
two generations, in order to hand their
farms over to a man named Murphy,
already the tenant of holding amount
ing to O gross area of four thousand
acres. Captain Nolan, of course, had
the unquestionable legal right to do
what he pleased with his own, and was
amenable to no earthly tribunal for his
course of action. Murphy succeeded
with the land and the former tenants
scattered.
AS Nolan grew older, however, he be-
gan to be conscious that humanity had
higher and broader rights than are given
by the sharp-edged rule of the law, and
to feel that he had wronged them. Most
men broaden into more liberal Justice as
they advance in years, but few are
minded to go back and atone for their
early errors. The Captain, however, il
appears, after great labor and expense,
brought together the three families he
had evicted, sixty-six in number and all
in great poverty, and placed their case
and his own in the hands of three arbi-
traitors, to decide what compensation ii
was just he should make them for their
losses. He selected three men as judges
in the case, chief among whom is Sir
John Gray, M. p, all of them well known
sympathizers with the Irish tenant
farmers. The judgement was to be
made future rule OF court. The arbi-
traitors sat, therefore, at, 0ughterard,
after. receiving power to examine wit
nesses under oath. The testimony Of
the evicted tenants, given in Irish, was
full of significant facts and terrible
pathos. The Judgment was a remarka-
Bile one, and when we consider that the
party on one side was, q man of vast
wealth and political weight, and the per-
sonal friend Of the arbitrators, and that
on the other a body Of helpless uRpro-
tected paupers, it proves how entirely
Captain Nolan's motives were appreci-
ated in their integrity of honor by the
judges. He was required not to confine
his remuneration to money, but to rein
state his tenants in their former hold
ings. mo mere payment in money, !

pensate man for being driven from his
home and land. lr q. ..,.,--.- .,n

A Chinese Death Bed.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
The Chinese have many customs PEI
culiar to their nation, which strike the
Outside barbarian as being unnatural
and strange. Their religious traditions
are so deep-rooted and so strongly los
tered by superstition as to give little en-
couragement to missionary lnbors. The
most striking of these superstitlons are
those appertaining to the disposition Of
their dying and dead relatives. Very
often the dead bodies of Christian men
and women are found in untenanted
buildings in the Chinese quarter'of this
city, and those unacquainted with their
superstitions are prone to set the deser-
tions Of dying friends down as acts of
selfshness. This, however, is not so, as
the Chinese believe that il persons die
in a house that they lived in before
death, their spirits will haunt the places
ever after, and give unpleasant evidence
of their presence to all who remain In
order to prevent the manifestations OF
the restless spirit, as soon as the doctor
gives it as his opinion that patient
cannot survive he is taken TO another
place and left alone to die. Yesterday
case of this kind was reported TO
the Coroner. A young Chinawoman,
who had been given up by the attending
physician, was carried by her rela-
iatives to an untenanted house on Ellis
Place, off Pacific, above Dupont. They
then dressed her in her best clothing,
spread a new mating on the floor, and
laid her on it. They broughtin preserves,
meat, fruits, candies, boiled rice, etc.,
lighted some punks and retired, leaving
her alone to await the coming of the
common destroyer. During the day she
died. and was found last night Coroner
Letterman removed the body and it is
now at the morgue awaiting the further
action of the relatives, who will probably
leave her to be disposed of by the city,
as is generally their practice in such
cases. Many Chinamen--those Of the
wealthy classes-do not desert their
friends, and for the furtherance of this
desire there are several hospitals fitted
ND in order that those about TO die may
be removered there until they have
paid the debt Of nature, after which
they are buried with all the ceremony
of the disciples Of Confueius.

About twenty years ago, when Frank
lin. Pierce and the present Senator
Clark stood at the head Of the Hillsbor-
ough bar, in New Hampshire, there was
upon the docket q celebrated suit called
the Horse Case" The action was
brought BY Smith x Jones, livery stable
keepers, against one White, to recover
the value of a pair Of horses, alleged to
have been killed bythe defendant while
conveying an insane man, to the asylum
At Concord There was plenty OF proof
that the horses died soon after their ar
rival there; but the defendant took the
ground that they died Of disease, and
not from being overheated, and that a
sufficient time had been allowed them
10 travel that distance with ease, Then
II became necessary to show the Jury
tbe ime of starting and the time OF ar
rival Many citizens were brought tor
