ANTIQUITY OF PUPPETS.
Puppets are as old as deceit—a vice which dates from
Eve and the serpent. They existed in all ages, and
amongst every kind of people, civilised and half civilised;
but it would be tedious to dive into antiquity, and to
fish up all that Herodotus has told us of the puppet-
shows of Egypt, or to enumerate what Lucian, or some
one in his name, has said of the Syrian mannikins
Aristotle or Pinder have alluded to amongst the Greeks;
ecribed,
or what Cicero, Ovid, and Livy
in
speaking of the juggleries of the prieshthanied Of old Rome.
a their priests
The gods of Greece were puppets,
pulled the string. Even whentristianity began to
h to be inculcated
flourish, its doctrines were s
through the senses of the ignorant—andml chiefly by
cheating them. Images of
Mary—were
frequently the
so numerous,
image of the Virgin
that the Romish Church became, especially in Italy
and Spain, one large
eetablishment of puppets. Religion, argued the monks of the dark ages, must be
symbolised; and the Church of Rome has never wholly
departed from
principle. Indeed, it is from the
_
effigies of the the
M adonna, or Virgin, that the term
.
Marionnettes derived. According to Ducange,
the monkish Latin word for the puppet reel-, -
sentative
of the Virgin was " Mariola," which
has been fused, with Madonna, into Marione' te. Wooden
saints ere, in the middle ages, very much alive to all
the w
interests of the good monks, their followers. They
bent their heads, stretched out their hands, end winked
their eyes at their worshippers (they have winked a
modern wink or two, by the way) whenever, bowing,
begging, or winking, was profitable. They even
walked out of their niches—a feat at which
the celebrated Veto Santo, of Lucca, was a great adept.
As the public of every age have been always prone to
• .

believe " what they see with their own eyes," it is by no
means astonishing to find that the mirae!es of this pert-
' pat-tie punnet have been strongly attested.—Dickens's
household Words."

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, Fan. 3.
The market was not largely supplied to-day with wheat ;
the sale was somewhat languid, and only choice qualities com-
manded late prices. Barleys were in fair supply, and sold
generally at 34s to to :35s for choice malting samples, but al-
though many growers exhibited their last stocks, there was not
quite free a sale. Beans and peas inclining upwards.

HULL, FEB. 3.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—. The
firmness noted in our last report has continued during the
week, and a fair extent of business has been done at fully the
advance last noted. At our market to-day farmers brought a
good supply of wheat, for which they were asking a further
advance upon last week's price., but which was not complied
with ; the business done was at fully previous terms; holders
of foreign are very firm in their demands, which rather checks
transactions. A cargo of barley has arrived since our last
from Denmark, but the bulk was sold prior to arrival—the new
at 325. A small parcel of old is held at Is per stone. Flee
English was again dearer to-day. Oats are in improved de-
mand. Egyptian beans, of which the import has almost en-
tirely consisted, go riff freely at former rates. Peas remain
without much alteration, with very few offering. A large
arrival of Linseed has rather depressed the market, but linseed
ookes maintain their value. Rapeseed quite nominal; a some-
what increased sale for cakes, of which some remain afloat.
