AUTIFUL ARE The FEET OF IhEm II
NEW ORLEANS, SUNDAY M
in the wailing crowd outside the door, but
inside the hut, on her poor bed, lays
Swift's wife. The unhappy. woman has
long been a confirmed invalid. For five
Years she has been Frustrated on the bed
of sickness, never leaving her house for
the whole Of that period. The police ar
rived, and possession Of the house was
claimed, the condition of the unhappy
woman became alarming; fainting fit after
fainting fit followed in rapid succession,
and ali feared that on the same day the
poor creature was to lose both her home
and her life. That terrible code, the rules
of the estate prevented any of the neigh
bors from taking in the women under pain
of eviction. The cub. sheriff, a humane
and kindly man, shrank from performing
what. according to our humane aud merci-
full laws, would have been his duty, name
ly, taking the almost dying woman out OF
her house and leaving her on the roadside
to perish. He accordingly fastened to Mr.:
Nicholson's house and acquainted him OF
the melancholy circumstance. That gen.
tleman relented, and thought proper to
give permission that the unfortunate wo-
mans own brother should be allowed to
give his sister temporary shelter. Inc
unhappy woman was accordingly removed
to her brothers house, and everything was
done to rally her from her apparently dy-
inc Condition. After her removal the writ
of eiectment proceeded with rapid strides.
Swift's Door furniture was dragged out OF
the house with no tender hands by the
sheriffs men the door was closed, a new
paddock was placed on it, it was locked,
| and one more family was added to that
| long and melancholy array-the evicted
tenantry of Ireland. At each OF the other
| houses the same drama was enacted. There
was not the slightest attempt at resistance
made by the unhappy sufferers, and the
display of force was simply rldlcuions
| Wien the last tenant had been eylcted the
scene presented was one which it would
have been well, indeed, for those English
statesmen and publicists, who allege thai
the Irish tenants are secured in their hold
| ings by recent legislation, had they Wit
! messed it.-Dublin Freeman.
