PRACTICAL RETORT.—Ia the theatre at Weimar, in Ger-
many, not long ago, there were only seven persons in the house.
The pit took offence at the miserable acting of a performer, and
hissed him energetically ; whereupon, the manager brought
his company on the stage, and out-hissed the visitors.—Sunbeam.
Lord Eldon delighted in repeating the following anecdote so
characteristic of his friend and master Geerge the Third: "1
called with my brother (Stowell) on the 4th of June, to pay my
customary salutations, and was summoned into his presence;
he was conversing with my oid friend Dr. Glasse, of Wanstead,
but rose immediately we entered, and placing a chair on each
side of his own, desired us to be seated lie then burst into a
hearty laugh, and exclaimed—' Doctor, have you, in the course
of your reading, ever before known of a king who-sat between
two of his highest officers, who had each run away with his wife?
Rather hard that, Eldon, eh, eh ?"
