4 Deformed Weaver's Gratitude.

William S. Malcolm was an English
silk weaver. who years ago went to Pat
erson, y. j., to work in the silk mills.
He was humpbackcd aud otherwise do.
formed, and in the mill where he was
employed he was made the butt OF a
great deal OF ridiculc. His temper had
already been soured by such treatment,
10 that he was anything but amiable TO
those around him. Among the en-
ployes in the same mill was a young
girl named Lazure, who felt sorry for
the old hunchback and took his part on
every occasion, thus making herself
many enemies among her com
panions. Malcolm had worked hard
and soon started silk mill
OF his own, in which Miss Lazure
was his most trusted operative. He
succeeded in his business ventures, and
when he died some time ago he left an
estate worth sl2, 600 in bonds and mort
Cages. His will provided that his wife
should receive $3.50 per year out Of the
income Of the estate. Miss Lazure
was also to receive an annuity OF $3.50,
or such q gum as might come from the
estate after deducting Mrs. Malcolm's
$3.50; but Miss Lazure's annuity vas
not to exceed $3.50. In case the estate
should bring more than 500 per year,
the balance was to go to Mrs. Malcolm.
The annuity Of Mrs Malcolm was TO be
continued during her life, and Miss
Lazure was to have her yearly $3.50
until her marriage or death. At the ex-
piration Of these legacies the whole es-
tate was 10 bedIvided among "tho most
deserving poor OF Paterson" who we're
also 10 be entitled to any surplus reve-
nue. derived from the estate after the
death OF Mrs. Malcolm. Mr.. Malcolm
had several relatives, including q sister,
living in Paterson, but Is these had
offended him he did not leave them
anything. The annuities we're paid by
the executor, Mr.. John Murphy. Mrs.
Malcolm died about two years ago.
Miss Lazure Is still in receipt OF her
annuity. Shortly after Mrs. Malcolm's
death Mrs. Mary Ann Hesketh. the ais
tor OF Mr.. Malcolm, filed . petition in
chancery asking the chancellor 10 strike
out Of the will the provision relating
TO the "most deserving poor Of Pater-
SON. on the ground that IL was
indefinite and uncertain, ana conse.
qucntly illegal. The result Of such an
action would have been TO give Mrs.
Hesketh the whole OF the estate, as the
nearest Of kin, with the exception Of the
$3.50 per year TO Miss Iazdre. The
opinion in this case has been fled, and
the chancellor declines to grant the
prayer of the petitioner, as he decides
that the term "the most deserving poor
of Paterson" Is sufficiently clear to
direct the executor what to do with the
estate. Mr.. Murphy now Las the in
teresting question TO decide as 10 who
are the most deserving poor Of Pater-
son. for ell OF the income OF the estate
exceeding $3.50 per year is to be divided
among them. Noto York Herald.

Wall FOR TIE IRIsH.-One thousand eSictions
last week Just think Of it One thousand desti-
tute families turned out oftheir homes and no place
by the roadside to live in. Mr. Glsdstoae once said
that an eviction equal to n sentence Of death. N
So then 900 sentences Of death being executed
weekly in Ireland. Il it any wonder that the Irish
people diseontented; nay, eIssperatedi Mr..
Gladstone should hasten his arrears Of rent bill to
put an end to this terrible business In the mean
time perhaps il would be well for him to order the
cessation Of evctions. 1t may not stop the perpetra
tisn Of crime; IL will certainly not increase murder
and outrage.
