A Strange Story.

A Waterford correspondent telegraph: /:
'"The mayor of Waterford has received
communication from an attorney in
New Orleans, inquiring as to the heirs
Of woman named Kate Townsend,
aged forty five, who was murdered in
New Orleans on November last by q
man in whose favor she had made q
will, being at the time possessed of
$500 The murderer, W. E. Skyes,
is in custody, and will be deprived OF
the legacy, which will go to the beirs.
The deceased was an uneducated person
and arrived in New Orleans in sailing
ship in 1858 and made her money in the
city. The following particulars are
given OF her career: The deceased was
known in the United States as Kate
Townsend, but it is supposed that her
real name was Kate Savage, or Kate or
Bridget Sundrigap, possibly Cunning
ham. She is said to have been born in
County Waterford and went from there
to Liverpool at about the age of nine
teen, and there married sailor whose
name is supposed to be A. Finn, which
name was found to be tattooed on one
of her arms when the post-mortem ex.
animation was made. She had, it is be-
lieved, two children by this marriage.
She is also said to have sister, who
married and emigreted to the West In
dies. It is added that she had an aunt
in England. Kate Townsend is said to
have been deserted by her husband and
afterwards became bar.room maid in
Liverpool in 1858. Previous to her
marriage with Finn. she is said to have
lived in London with man named

lErom the Prairie Farmer.l -
The alleged operations of certain pat
ent sharks reminds us of couple of
swindling operations. Certain Michigan
farmers gave their notes, ranging from
$50 to $500 each, for dhulless oats, /"
payment to be made out of the crop pro-
duced at $l.50 per bushel. But the I.
0. US were promptly sold on liberal
terms at the bank or elsewhere. The
persuasive agent 'lighted out, and the
victims now think they perceive symp-
toms Of the cutting of belated teeth, of
the eye variety. Another interesting
"Ittle game is this: Two men, appa-
rently strangers, meet at farm house:
get acquainted; arrange to stay over
night. During the long evening they
make bargain with each other for the
same piece of property, draw writings,
and ask their host kindly to append his
name as witness. Just as might have
been expected, the farmers signature
turns out to be the most important of
the three, since the document is so art.
fully constructed that by cutting it in
two pieces one of them becomes prom
issory note, which is subsequently nego-
tiated, and, under the present law, has
to be paid. In view Of such occurrences
as these (still astonishingly common af-
ter years of repeated exposure by the
press) the countryman who doesn't treat
as frauds all tramps, no matter how we'll
dressed, who seek his autograph, under
any pretense whatever, would better
have given his time to reading and not
learned to write, for these bad signs in
dicate that he will never be forethought-
ful enough in such emergencies to make
his mark,

money kings of Europe. Rothschild
was first elected to the house of com.
mons by the city Of London in 1S47, but
resigned his seat when the house OF lords
rejected the Jews bill and stood again,
and was once more elected. In 1850
he offered to take the oaths, but refusing
to be sworn "on the true faith of Chris
tian," he was refused seat. He SUBJ
mitted to the rejection and sat in one of
the seats allotted to strangers, but his
Jewish associate, Mr.. David Salomans,
being elected in 1851, stood strictly upon
his rights, and, though Withdrawing for
time, took his seat to test thequestion.
The house allowed Mr.. Salomans to vote,
and even to make speech, but though
refusing to withdraw on the request of
the speaker after the motion against him
was carried, he yielded when the sergeant
alarms touched him on the shoulder.
The result OF all this agitation was that
Lord John Russell's bill removing Jew
ish disabilities was passed by the house
of commons in 1853. Baron Rothschild,
after being several times refused seat,
