ANECDOTES, &c.

REMARKABLE D.ar s day is the anniver-
sary of the death of MILTON, in 1674 ;_ of the
King of PoLixn, in. 1764, ordering the Prussian
Code to he translated into Latin, and printed at
the public expence, after which it was proposed
Ito offer rewards to the best deviser of a body of
laws founded on the brevity of the Prussian,
Code, but adapted to the genius and constitution
of the Poles. By this Prussian Code, too law-
suit could exist beyond a'year an&a (fay ; and
on this day of the month, in 1773', there were
great inundations in Venire and Naples, by which
great damage was done and many lives-lost. •
A VETERAN DRAMATIST, HOW alive, distin.
guished for the frankness and oddness of his hu-
mour,-being required to state his grounds of et•-
ception from serving in the Militia, actually
wrote on the official paper, " Old, lame, and a ;
coward !"
MRS. WOFFINGTON.--The rise of this Lady
was very extraordinary, considering her original
introduction into public life, which was as fol-
lows :—Signora VIOLANTE attracted great atten-
tion in Dublin during the childhood of Mrs.
WOFFINGTON, as a rope-dancer. She used to
:lance with a basket tied to each foot, and little
Peggy IVOFFING-TON was one of the infants em-
ployed for the occasion. Retaining a connection
with public exhibitions, she at length formed. an
engagement in a regular Theatre, and by degrees
became an accomplished comic actrel. Her form
was lofty, and she was finely made, except that
her arms were too long, and almost level with
her knees. llThen the Cherokee Chiefs were
here they saw her perform, and, struck with the
elegance of her figure, they joined in opinion,
that she would have been the fittest woman in the
world if she were of their complexion.
TIRE EMPEROR CHARLES V. one day fell in
with a peasant who was carrying a pig. The
noise being disagreeable to the Emperor, he
asked the peasant, if he did not know how to
make a pig quiet ? The rustic confessed his
ignorance, and his wish to know it. << Take the
pig by the tail," said the Emperor, " and you
will see that it will soon be silent." The pea-
sant, finding the Emperor was right, said, " You
must hare learnt the trade much longer than I,
Sir, for you understand it a great deal better."
The ABBE DESFONTAINES, whose morals were
little suited to his profession, having once met
the celebrated Piron in a dress more magnificent
than usual, stood for some time before him, and
then exclaimed, 44 What a dress, for such 'a
man !"—Piron, having looked at the worthless
Abbe for a while, exclaimed in his turn, " What
a man for such a dress !"
PARSON PA.TTEN.—ft has been said of this
good-humoured but eccentric man, Curate of
Whitstable, that such was his love for punch,
that when his sermons were thotight too long,
ofrie one of his parishioners would hold up a
lemon, when the worthy parson would bring his
discourse to an abrupt conclusion, that he might
the sooner adjourn .to the public house, and in•
dulge in his favOurite beierage.
WHISKEY.— Three Irishmen pretty well
drunk with whisky, were reeling home along the
banks of the Liffey, the most intoxicated of the
set, whilst declaring his favourite liquor.to be
both Meat and drink to a man, reeled Into thi
river," Och," exclaimed one of,4s compa..
nious, 46. Sure and your'e now well-prAcied for ;
you had meat and drink, and faith now youv't
got washing and lodging."
Swirl.—The Dean's barber one day told himhe had taken a public house, of Which the sign
was the Pole and the Bason, and begged a few
lines to put upon it, being sure they would draw
in plenty of customers. Swift immediately wrote
the following couplet
Rove not from pole to pole, but step in here,
Where nought excells the shaving, but.the beer.
Cutstmay-SwEEruns.—During the progress of
Jostru ANWAY'S exertions in favour of chim-
ney-sweepers, he addressed a little urchin of the
sooty tribe, who had just swept his chimney,
64 Suppose, now, I give you a shilling ?"—" God
Almighty bless your Honour, and thank you."—
" And what if I give you a fine tie Wig to wear
on May-day, which is just at hand ?"—" Ah
bless your Honour ! my Master would not let me

go out on May-day.-"---" No! ‘Vlty not?"—
" Because he says it's low life !"
TIIE GOOD PEOPLE or HORNCASTLE were one
day amused by the following announcement of
the bell-man---‘6 I. J. wishes to inform the pub-
lic, he will not be answerable for any debt or
debts, his wife Marianne J. may contract after
this public notice." As soon as possible afterwards,
the bell-man was again sent round with the fol-

lowing:—" Marianne J. begs to inform the public,
she never has, nor does she ever intend, to con-
tract any debts on her husband's credit, well
knowing it stands on too slender a foundation."
S4TIRE UPON FAMILY PRIDE,—Au Italian
Painter, in drawing the picture of a gentleman
who pestered 411 companies with continual boast-;
ings of his being descended from the most illus-
trious families of ancient 'tome, invented the fol-

lowing mode of mortifying the vanity of his sub.
ject, lie gave him a large nose, as an Indica-
tion of his being issued from the Nassoncs, and
further upon this nose was represented a gray
pea, to show him descended from the Cicerones ;
a frightful pair of blubber lips were the Iteredi-
_

tart' marks of the Labeoncs; long teeth re.
presented those of Curius Dentatus ; squint-
ing eyes denoted that he was of the blood of
the Strabones ; a large prominent forehead
was the distinction of the Frontones ; his hair of
a flaming red, declared him of kin to the Rutilii ;
and its entangled bushiness, that he had in him
some of the blood of the brave Cincinnatus ; an
eye put out, bespoke him to have had the Coccli-

ter for relations ; the bandy legs showed him of
the•posterity of the celebrated Volgo ; his broad
flat feet entitled him to reckon the Piaui/ among
his ancestors; his crooked fingers were the dis-
tinction of the Fakones ; and his having six
fingers on one hand, was an undeniable sign of
his extraction from Sectigitus._ This monstrous

picture was an emblem that this gentlemanl;d
the vices of those families from which he boasted
his extraction, without any of those virtues by
which they had acquired their opulence and
honntirt
