Sir William Don was Kissed at Pittsburgh a
few nights ago, for having declined to take his
meals at the table cf the hotel in company with
the rest of the guests After several demon
strations of dispeasure the part of the
6 sovereigns," Sir William was permitted to
make an explanation.
He stated that he had been in the United
states for nearly four years, and never before
did he receive a mark of disapprobation from
an audience. He heard that he was charged
with being an aristocrat. and the fact that he
had taken his meals in his own room was cited
| as evidence against him. If any felt hurt by
that course he felt exceedingly sorry for it but
| the fact was, the weather was warm, and not
wishing to appear at the table in his shirt
sleeves, he took some potatoes and cold mutton
in his room, where he coald dress as he please.
II there was any thing aristoeratie in a man sit
ting in his room, eating mutton and potatoes
with his shirt sleeves turned up, he couldn't see
it, and he was panied to think that it should
have given offence to others. He thanked the
audience for their kindness in hearing him, and
hoped the play would be permitted to proceed
| without further interruption. ~,

fortunate woman was found lying in one of the

ScRUPLE Scrupuius, a word in the Latin
language, signifies grayel-stone In ancient
times, when men wore sandals, which were
merely soles fastened to the bottoms of their
feet, gravel very easily worked its way between
them and the feet, producing a very uncomfort-
able irritation The having scruples'' was
very easily transferred, by figure, to mental
irritation; hence, the expression 'scruples Of
conscience" when we feel uneasiness from
wounded moral feeling.
