a noted Judge in Mexico one day stood in q
portal talking with a friend, TO whom he said
- Forgot that turkey again! For more than
week have every day promised my wife TO go to
the volador and buy her a good, fat turkey to
make galantina {deviled fowl, that she may in
vito her brothers family to dinner. And as regu-
larry as the day comes forget it. By the way,

grows poorer every day The palace clock
striking showed it to be almost court time and
the judge went on to his duty. shabby fellow
standing near the two friends meanwhile had
lost no word they had spoken. Half an hour
later that lepero presented himself before the
judges wife with fine, fat turkey. "SenoIa, he
said, your husband, the honored Judge, sends
you this turkey for galantina, that you may
ask your brothers family to dine tomorrow.
And he is sorry he has forgotten it so often
And he asks you to send him by me his watch,
which is in the drawer of the light stand where
he always puts it of nights" The turkey was
conveyed to the larder, and the watch was
handed over This interesting little incident
was brought to light in the natural course of
events when the judge returned aud sought for
his watch. The rage and modification of his
wife is not to be pictured The watch was not
to be restored, however, by lamentation, and
matters resumed their accustomed order The
subject rankled, however, III the mind of her
ladyship, and great was her rejoicing when the
next morning she was summoned to receive a
spruce young fellow, with the appearance of a
lawyers clerk, who notified her that the watch

Romance and Mystery.
London Star. |

Mrs. Lawrence Coreoran, of South Orange,
N. j., is shortly coming TO London to endeaVor
to establish her claim to some 9300 600 left as
the residuary estate of Mrs Blake The cir
cumstances of the case are very romantic. In
the town of Ballow, County Longford, Ireland,
lived Nellie Sheridan. Her beauty captivatcd
Gen. Robert Dudley Blake, of the English
army, and member of great and prominent
family. Leaving the army, he took Nellie to
Scotland and married her. The Blakes dis
owned him; and thereupon the General,
wealthy in his own right, took his bride to
America and established large millinery
business in Mansfield, 0. Many years ago he
died while in England, leaving all his posses
sions to his wife.
Mrs. Blake was Stunned by the Generals
family, and some years ago she died chiidess
at South Kensington. Mr.. Robert Gun, of No.
6 Prince of Wales road, Kentish Town, an agent
concerned in the case, informs US that she also
died intestate. Her wealth would therefore 90
to her nearest relatives. But the difficulty oc-
Cured as to whom her relatives WERE for al.
though she lived at Ballow it was by no means
certain she was born there. The registration
books all over the United Kingdom have been
searched in vain for any record of her birth
while inquiries on large scale have also been
made in foreign parts. Some of her acquaint-
ances allege that she was born at sea, but her
maiden name of Sheridan seems to indicate
that she was of Irish birth. 1t was only about
half century ago that the compulsory regis
tration law came into operation, and this may
account for the apparent non-r registration.
Mrs. Lawrence Corcoran, however, alleges
that she was q first cousin Of Mrs. Blake, and
that she can prove it. She says her maiden
name was Feeney, and that her native place
was Adgerton, County Longford. Two years
ago she and her husband We're informed that
