agreeable occurrence, lately took place at the baths.
of Baden in Austria. A lady who wasretnarkablC
for ,the, beauty of her complexion, repaired to 0,
Baths in an elegant neglige: had hardly dippe'
her hand into the 'water before she ivreeived that
they were 'become perfealy black. She was unab/e,
to account for -this, but determined however not to
expose-herself to the laughter of her companions):
she retired to a corner Of the':-Bath, and undressed:
herself, intending to,washoiff, the-blackness,
she got into..the water, intoi•wftich she immediately
jumped up to her chin. On out of the water
she foiind:her bosom,. her--neck, an& part of her
chin 'metamorphosed into, t holt ofa Negress. This.
,dreadful event occasioned the-greatest consterna",
Lion. in her:mind ; and she called-in the assistance
_her friends,.but it was Many days before they could
,succeed perkily in svathing the ilaii-n-moor,white,
The cause•of the phenomenon is well known to all
'Chemists to be in the property of the Baden Vases
of blackening metals, -and the Lady had been
employing cosmetics, into the composition of which
metallic sub Stances had entered.

Among the veterans in the Commune.of ,Tatirst

who is 103 years of age. He was horn in Bur-
gundy in. Septemberi 60. He entered into the Re"
giment of. Tor Taine in Sept.. 1716, from which ritnc
he served as a private, declining all promotion. In

ball at the siege of Kehl. At the Battle of Mill-
den he received six' sabre wounds. He had threv
brothers killed at the battle of Fontenoy, and a soil,
killed on the Izth Of April, in America. He serve"
in all.the Wars in Germany,.Flanders, and Holland.
He enjoys a pension of 600 livres. His mother

Iron and Steel. He solicited of the Eleaor, not 3
Patent, but some other advantages as Inventor,
which he obtained--This,,say the French Papers,

harm than the loss of a Squadron ! •
A few days since Mr. GREGORY, StOne-Mantl-
