ANECDOTES WE KNOW TO BE TRUE.—A. canvasser
for advertisements very young and green in the business
called on Madame Rachel to obtain her advertisement for a
particular newspaper. Inexperienced beginners select that
style of advertiser, and very often in doing so come "to grief."
Madame Rachel very cordially received the canvasser, en-
tered into the merits of the paper or magazine, and after a
confidential chat produced the bottle of whisky which was
partaken of with such fataleffects by Mrs. Borrodaile. Then
she took up a sheet of paper, and in her own hand wrote out a
long advertisement describing in glowing terms the quali-
ties
of the Jordan water, and the being made beautiful for
ever process. You may imagine, said the canvasser, my
astonishment on observing in the late trial that every one
accepted it as a fact that Madame Rachel could neither
read nor write. " There," she said, " bring me the ad-
vertisement when it appears, and call on Saturday, when
terms can be arranged and an order given." On Saturday,
as requested, the canvasser called, of course to find
the Jew's shop shut. All at once the conviction
flashed on his mind that he had been " sold," for she most
certainly said Saturday, while she well knew that the
place would be closed. But though he had a dim idea,
he little thought that Madame could boldly meet him and
coolly assert that she had never given him an advertise-
ment. He then learned what the effect of such a trade is
on the moral character, and he had the experience which
afterwards so astonished the Court and Sergeant Ballan-
tine, who said that there never were two ladies in a wit-
ness-box who, in the comparatively short space of time
they had been in it, had told more lies than Rachel's
daughters. But one word of truth, and that inadvertently,
had escaped their lips. The distilltion of the dew-water
brought by the swift dromedaries from Sahara, and the
manufacture of Hymettus soap are clearly destructive of
veracity. One of the coolest things we remember a news-
paper to have done has just fallen to " Granny's" lot.
The Post, perhaps desirous of giving its readers something
extra for their threepence, every now and then manufac-
tures a telegram of a startling character, and creates
thereby a pleasing sensation. Last Saturday it came out
with one to the effect that the Prince of Wales, while
shooting in Scotland, had met with a serious accident,
insinuating, indeed, that the Heir Apparent had been shot.
Instantly this was pounced on by the Standard in its
evening edition, with extra details, and a fear that the
rumour had but too much foundation. On Sunday the
Observer published a telegram from the Duke of Suther-
land, whose guest the Prince was, contradicting the
rumour. Then the virtuous " Granny" on Monday had a
little indignation leader censuring the Post for these sen-
sational items, and asking whether it would not be much
better to refrain for 24 hours till the startling rumour was
confirmed. We are glad, however, to see that " Granny's"
merited•consure has met its reward. Apropos of a cool
assurance almost at the same time we saw another instance
in a totally different sphere and direction. In the area of a
house a jingling of bottles and an altercation attracted our
attention, and we heard a servant girl bargaining with a
man for the sale of empty bottles. The price was even-
tually agreed to, the bottles handed up, packed in a basket,
and the man produced a halt-crown, which he shrewdly
guessed the girl could not change. " All right," he said,
taking up the basket, " I will get change at the corner ;"
but at what corner he did get change has remained num-
v ealed, for he has not yet returned. The girl's face an
hour or two afterwards, when she had become convinced
of the wickedness of her customer, would have formed a
study for Punch.
