Blue Yavn StOckings--When Dr. Frank.

Blue Yayn StOckingS--When Dr. Frank lin was received at the French court as A merican minister, he felt some scruples oi conscience in complying with their fashions as to dress. 'He hoped,' said he to the minister, 'that as he was himself very plain man, and represented plain repub- ,lican people, the king would indulge his desire to appear at court in his usual plain dress. Independent of this, he season of the year, he said rendered the change from warm yarn stockings to fine silk, somewhat dangerous"
 The French minister made him a bow, but said that fashion was too sacred a thing for him to meddle with, but said he would do himself the honor to mention it to his majesty. IT,.
 The King smiled, and returned word that Dr. Franklin was welcome to appear at court in any dress he pleased. In spite of that delicate respect for strangers for which the French are so remarkable, the courtiers could not help staring at first, at Dr. Franklin's quaker dress, especially his s'Blue Yarn Stockings" But it soon ap- peared as though he had been Introduced upon the theatre only to todemonstrate that great genius like true beauty needs not the aid of ornament. The court were so daz- zled with the brilliancy of his mind that they never looked at his stockings. And while many other ministers who figured in all the gaudy fashions of the day are now forgotten,t the name of Franklin is mention ed with all the ardor of affectionate enthu- SiaSm.

MONEY BURIED.

In May, 1927, man named Joseph 4Galebo, Portuguese, and common beg gar. was drowned in Boston harbor, on the wreck of the schooner Olive Branch. Af- ter an inquest on the body, he was buried respectfully in the strangers tomb in South Boston, where he slept quietly till Tuesday last. On that day, two strangers called on MT. Coroner Snow, ,and inquired about the deceased with great particularly, expressing desire to know where he was buried, and whether his clothes were ta- ken of; after which, they were referred to the sexton, for admission to see the re- mains. He probably thinking that so pi- ous and friendly wish ought to be gratifi- ed, readily opened the tomb, and showed them the coffin. The lid was opened to the face, but that was not enough With various shrugs and winks and intimations, they desired the whole cover of the coffin to be removed, when the anxious friends, without any squeamishness, thrust their unhallowed paws within the clothing which covered the decaying body, and with the aid of a jack-knife, whipped out belt, that circled next thereto, very much cor roded, out of which they emptied about three pints of silver coin, leaving a consid- erable quantity in the lower end, where it was less corroded. supposed to be gold.- They quickly made off from the astounded sexton, leaving for his share of the booty, the pleasure of replacing the coffin lid, since which time, these strangers of fortu- nate memory have neither been seen or beard ofin our city of Boston.

 The following affecting account of the death of Sir John Moore, is taken from Napier's History oi he Peninsular War, lately published:
 S.r Jobn Moore, wh.le earnestly watch ing the result of the 6ght aSout inc village of Elvina, was struck on his left breast Dy a cannon-shOt; the shock threw him from his horse with violence; he rose again in a sitting posture-his countenance unchang- ed, and his steadfast eye still fixed on the regiments engaged in his front; no sigh be- trayed sensation of pain; but in a few moments when he was satisfied that the troops were gaining ground his countenance hrightened, ,and he allowed himself to be ta- ken to the rear. Then was seen the dreadful nature of his hurt; the shoulder was shat tered to pieces, the arm was hanging by a piece of skin, the ribs over his heart brok- en, and barred of flesh, and the muscles oi the breast torn into long slips, which were interlaced by their recoil from the dragging of the shot. As the soldiers placed him in a ablanket, his sword got entangled and the hilt entered the wound. Captain Hard inge, staff officer, who was near, attempt- cd to take it of; but the dying man stop ped him, saying, It is well as it is. l had rather itsEould go out of the field with ma,azh this manrer becoming soldier, Sir John Moore was borne bleeding from the fight.

MURDERERS' CREEK, tn Dutchess O. NY.
 The name of Murderer's Creek is said to be derived from the following incidents.
 Little more than a century ago, the beautiful region watered by this stream, was possessed by small tribe of Indians, which has long since become extinct or been incorporated with some other savage nation of the west. Three or four hund- red yards from where the stream dischar- ges itself into the Hudson, white family of the name of Stacey, had established itself, in log house, by tacit permission of the tribe, to whom Stacey had made himself useful by his skill in a variety of little arts highly estimated by the savages. In particular a friendship subsisted be- tween him and an old Indian called Nao- man, who often came to his house and partook of his hospitality. The Indians never forgive injuries or forget benefits. The family consisted of Stacey, his wife and two children. boy and girl the form CT five and the latter three years old.
 One day NaOman, came to Stacey's log hut, in his absence, lighted his pipe and sat down. He looked very serious. some times sighed deeply, but said not . word. Stacey'S wiEe asked him what was tho
