ANTIPATHIES OF REMARKABLE

CHARACTERS.

(From Cruikshank's Comic Almanack for 1845.)
Almost every person who has lived in history has
had some particular antipathy. Julius Czesar couldn t
eat a periwinkle, and Alexander always fainted at the
sight of a blackbeetle.
Chaucer would be unwell for days if he heard the
cry of " mackerel!" and Spenser never saw a leg of
mutton without shivering all over.
Boadicea hated red whiskers : it nearly cost Carac •
tacus his life because he came into her presence one
day with a tremendous pair on.
The smell of pickles always sent Cardinal Wolsey
into hysterical fits. Ho called upon Henry the
Eighth once while the monarch was lunching off some
cold meat, and Wolsey fell down under the tablb as
soon as he smelt there was pickled cabbage in the
room. Henry, thinking the cardinal was intoxicated,
had him locked up in the Tower immediately.
Cleopatra couldn't look at a person with freckle; :
Antony had all his soldiers who were at all freckled
painted black to please her.
Napoleon took a violent hatred against any one who
didn't take snuff : it is said, the cause of his separa-
tion from Josephine was because she would never take
a pinch from him.
Alfred the Great could not bear the taste of am t
dumplings.
Artaxerxes had such an intense horror of fleas that
he would not go to bed without a suit of armour,
made like a night-gown, to fit close to his skin. He
would lose his reason for days when bitten by one.
There was a reward of ten talents, during his reign,
for the apprehension of every flea, dead or alive ; and
merchants would come far and near to claim the reward.
Queen Elizabeth had the strongest antipathy to a
sheriff's officer : she would run away as fast as she

could directly she saw one, and continued running for
miles, until her guards, who knew her weakness,
stopped her.
Old Parr would turn pale if he touched a piece of
soap : this is the reason he never shaved. Cicero had
such an antipathy to the Wednesday that he used to
remain in bed all that day ; and Anna Bolena could
not hear the word " potato" pronounced without
turning violently red, and feeling low-spirited fcr
weeks afterwards.

Charles the Second never could go through Tern-
ple-bar. It used to take the whole strength of Vil-
liers, with Rochester and Nell Gwynn, to push him
through it. Cromwell never could pass a tripe-shop
without bursting immediately into tears.
