An Heiress to S2.OOO,OOO.
New York Evening Post

A romance was developed in the sur
rOgate's office to-day when Mrs. Alice
Swift offered for probate the will of
Catherine Ann Whelan. The will is
dated the 4th of October, 1878, and be-
queaths absolutely and forever all Lesta-
trix's real and personal property, both
in Anne erica aid IN England, to her aunt,
Alice Swift, after the payment of her
debts and funeral expenses. The will is
witnessed by George A. Haydock, of No.
3l7 East Twentieth street, Eliza Manly.
No. 592 Second avenue, and Lizzie Sell
lers, No. 592 Second Avenue.
Mrs. Swift asserts the viii makes her
heir to one ofthe finest estates in Hert-
fordshire, England, worth more than
100000.
The story is as follows: Some fifty
years ago Mr.. James Clarence Hill, of
Hazel Court castle, Hertfordshire, had
an only daughter, In the family which
is an old and aristocratic one, was but
Ter named Thomas Whelan, young
Irishman. An intimacy, it is alleged,
sprung up between him and Miss Hill,
and it ended in the couple clipping. They
were married and went to Ireland. The
old squire declared that his daughter
should never darken his doors again.
He had no other issue, and the estate
was entailed, and he made will leav-
ing all of it, including Hazel Court
castle, to the issue of the eldest child of
his once favorite daughter. The butler.
Whelan, and his wife, Caroline, came
to America about 1856, and both died,
Mrs. Whelan dying in New York in
1866. She left d son named James c..
Whelan, but under the old squire's will
he could not get the estate.
James c., however, had one daughter,
named Catharine Ann Whelan, and she
being the issue of the eldest son of the
squire's daughter was entitled to the
whole of the estate. Catharine lived
with her aunt, Mrs. Swift, and died a
few months ago, having, however, made
q will leaving her whole estate in Hert-
fordshire to Mrs. Swift. The estate is
said to be held in trust in England, and
to have large accumulated revenues.
Mrs. Swift will take steps Immediately
to prove her claims to Hazel Court
castle.

Good Heaveni l shall 90 mad
For such surfeiting of love
No parent ever had.
The very atmosphere is charged
With it; no matter where

Upon some whispering pair.
As evening, when take my pipe
And seek a quiet nook
To read the daily journal or
Some new and tempting book,

When a familiar sound.
Quite unmistakable, suggests
1t is forbidden ground.
So. then more cautiously turn
To our reception room.
But 10! again upon my ear
From its romantic gloom,
Comes softly, yet with emphasis,
That warning. when l start
And leave, as Lady Macbeth wished
Her guests would all depart.
My next resort is then the porch,
Where roses trail and bloom;
Ha! is it echo that betrays
The joys of yonder room?
All, mol a startled "change of base"
Reveals the presence there
Of Cupid's votaries and alas!
There's still another pair.
= But sure" think, "my library

So there at once, with Quickened step,
| take my weary feet.
Vain hope-that warming sound again
Breaks on my listening ear;
Thank Heaven, my Youngest hath notyet
Attained her thlrte 1nth year.
Hank! there she is. and bless my heart.
That popinjay young Lunn
Is at her side-I do believe
That she, too, has begun.
O, vel who love to sit aud dream
OF future married joys.
Pray Heaven, with earnest fervor, that
Your girls may all be boys.

she partly opened. The moon was
high and full, and the street without
locked as bright as day. A sudden idea
seemed to strike her, for she smiled
brightly as she went softly to the bed
and stood gazing at the brother she
loved SO well and knew she would be
able TO keep SO short d time.

She went out into the brilliant sum-

depths of her usually troubled eyes.

example: the smaller the fish the
larger the dose.
After administering the medicine,
as directed, lay the fish in the sun
for two hours: if after that time, on
taking hold of them, they wag their
tails vigorously, then the medicine
has had its desired effect and no
more will be needed. The fish can
then be returned to the water If,
after two hours, the fish does not

ed bad sign, in all probability it
will not recover. However, no more
medicine will be needed. The fish
is then called--a goner.
After the watchmen have caught
the fish three times they may dis
pense with the scales, as competent
judges say by that time their eyes
will have become so disciplined that
they will be able to tell the exact
size of the fish at first glance.
The watchmen, for their services,
are to be paid thus; The fun of
catching all the fish three times for
the first three months is ample pay
for that time, this is vouched for by
learned and experienced men in the
business.
After the first three months they
are to receive a salary from the cut
down salaries of the government of
ticers and clerks.
The large stream flowing from the

All ladies must be escorted by
