A NICE POENV LAW.

A few months ago in the Orphans Court
in Philadelphia, exceptions were taken
before Judge Ashman, the auditing Judge
of the Orphans Court, to bequest OF Anne
Dougherty to Catholic clergy man, to bave
Masses celebrated for the repose of the soul
of decedent and of her brother. The fol-
lowing was the form of the bequest
"Apd I request my executor to pay over
the remaining equal half part of the pro-
ceeds of sale, and rents, If any, to the Rev.
Hugh Mclaughlin, of the said Church of
s.. Theresa, upon which payment, 1 earnest
| ly request and desire, that he, the said Rev
Hugh Mclaughlin, will say, or procure to
be said, three masses week for the repose
OF the souls of my brothers and sister
Margaret, for one year after such payment
shall be made"
Under statute of Elizabeth, and in &C.
cordance with many decisions such be.
quest had been held to be one for "Super-
s,itious uses" The Judge sustained the
will, and it came up before the Court In
banc, upon the exceptions to Judge Ash
mans ruling. The Court unanimously
sustained tho decision of Judge Ashmau,
and directed the executors to pay over to
the clergyman the bequests excepted to.
This ia the first time this question has come
fairly up in Pennsylvania, and the decision
is remarkable, as 1t is in opposition to the
English precedents.

DEATH OF WILLIAM H. TWEED.

DEATH OF WILLIAM H. TWEED.
New YORK, April 11.-A telegram was
received at the sherif7s Office this afttr-
noon, stating that VIM, Fl. Tweed died In
his room in Ludlow Street jail at noon to-
day.
VIM. H. Tweed was born in New York
city, April 8, 1928; his father was CHAIR
maker. After working for while as a
clerk in a saddlsry, he was sent to school
for a year to the Rev. John T Halsey, of
Elizabethtown, New Jersey, and became
fair penman and ready cipherer.
In 1851 he was elected alderman; he was
next elected member of the Thirty.thrd
Congress. In 1856 he was chosen school
com missioner; in 1858 he entered the board
Of supervisors. In 1867 he was elected
State Senator.
Early in his career he joined the Tamr
many Society, and was elected its Grand
Sachem The first tidings of Tweed's
Tammapy ring frauds appeared in the
New York Times, of July %, 1871. In Oc.
tcber 81, 1871, Tweed was arrested and put
under 81 100000 bail.
In December, 1871, he was again arrested
on d criminal indictment. On January 6,
1873, the criminal case wac at last opened
aud the "Boss" was placed upon trial on
toe "eig indictment" which comprised 224
counts.
Tweed's escape from prison to Havana,
thence to Spsin, add his subsequent return
from Virgo by the theSpanish Government,
are too fresh in the public mind to need de-
tailed narration here.

Tweed has taken an appeal to the Arch

was no worse than any of his confrsres, but
he had to suffer for all. His death in a

Eighth, The ooccus, or scale insect,
/ suppose you mean, has affected the
orange tree 10 somc extent when the
trees were not in healthy, vigorous
condition, but with proper cultivation
and prompt application of kerosene or
whale oil soap, when they appear they
can be kept at bay.
Mr.. Powell asked il any member OF
the Club, before which, and for the
benefit of whose members the letter
was read, could say whether, as was
stated, orange trees grown from seed
would produce the same variety and
flavor Of fruit as that from which it
was taken. pN
DR.. Trimble thought il very likely
TO be the case and cited the tact that
acorns produced the same variety of
oak tree &c. He related what he had
observed in regard to orange culture
in Florida, alluded to some very large
and productive trees, and closed by ex-
pressing the hope that Florida would
go on prosperously in orange culture
until we would be supplied, as the
oranges from that region were the best
brought to this market.
Several members spoke Of the supe-
'riority Of Florida oranges. Mr.. Ferdi-
nand Lawrence remarked that the
finest Florida oranges came from the
Indian river region, and were grown
at or in the neighborhood Of New
SMYRNA.

Little Katie dropped with tho sing-song rhyme,
" One for tho black bird, one for the CROW,

That's sure but still We shall got our share
If you always count, as you drop, with care,
One for the black bird, ono for tho CROW,

in tho way most easy-saving labor 10
yourself where you can, and by order
and method making the whole far less
fatiguing2 One of the neatest, hard.
est-working woman we ever knew wore
many wrinkles into her own brow
while still young and made her home
anything but heaven upon earth.
She was not ill.tempered but she said
she was dragged to death"--yet she
had every convenience in her pretty
house, and her daughters were ready
to help her; but she did not know how
to save work, and she had not learned
how TO rest. If she sat down Il minute
for the purpose, instead Of relaxing her
muscles by thinking of her pleasant
home, of her good husband and chill
dren, she threw herself into q chair
with the remark. "Ob, dear the iron.
ing isn't half done the starched clothes
are not touched at all it will drag this
week, just as 1t did last then there's
the parlor TO sweep, and the dinner.to
get" She spent perhaps five minutes
in her chair, supposing she was getting
little rest, but actually continuing her
toll through her imagination her mus
Giles had not relaxed an instant, as they
might have done by forgetting her
work in a few pleasant thoughts. When
will people learn the great science of
resting by the relaxation Of the mus
cles Mirthiul people do it by in
stinct; others need to study it as a
physical advantage.
But our housekeeper has found out
much if she has learned TO save her
own strength il she can on an ironing
day, for instance, when other work is
pressing, take her sheets, her pillow
cases, her towels, and folding them
smoothly whilea little damp place them
on the table with a board on top of
them and the hat-irons for weight,
and feel that it is far better TO dispense
with the labor Of ironing them, and to
get little rest for herself. We once
saw man do this when his wife was
fretting over her "dreadful ironing"
He seated her in a chair and commenc.
ed his folding performance with an in
dsscribably comical air, but finished by
remarking, in a serious tone. "No, 4
had rather have ten thousand wrinkles
in the house linen than q shadow of
one on my wife's brow y But how
few women would save themselves in
this respect, and how few who would
pick up few threads or brush up a
few crumbs, letting the broom rest till
ii is really needed. Now any paddy
whack can "put in" and do work, but
the skill OF the good housekeeper comes
in play in knowing how to save it,
Mns n
