The Ceremony OF DRESSING QUEEN
What n cruel ceremony was the dressing OF
that same queen! When Marie Antoinette in
the days of her cumbersome greatness stood of
morning in the centre of her bed chamber,
awaiting after her bath, her first article of
dress, it was presented to her, or rather it was
passed over her royal shoulders by the ''dame
d'hOdneur.' Perhaps, at the moment, a prin
cess Of the blood entered the room, flor French
queens both dressed and dined in public,) the
right of putting on the primal garment Of her
majesty Immediately devolved upon her, but
it could not be yielded to her by the dame
d'honneur the latter arrested the chemise
de la Rein. as it was passing down the royal
back, adroitly whipped it off, and, presenting
1T to the premiere DAME" that noble lady
transferred it to the princess of the blood -
Madame Campan had once to give it up to the
Dutcbess Of Orleans, who, solemnly taking the
same, was on the point of throwing it over the
Queens head, when a scratching lit was con-
trary to etiquette to knock was heard at the
door of the room. Thereupon entered the
Countess de Provence, and she being nearer to
the throne than the lady of Orleans, the latter
made over her Office to the new conner. In the
meantime the queen stood like Venus as to
covering, but shaking with cold, for it was
mid-winter, and muttering, "what an odious
nuisance W The Countess de Provence en-
tered on the mission which had fallen to her I;
and this she did so awkwardly that she en-
tirely demolished a head dress which had
taken three hours to build. The Queen be-
held the devastation, and got warm by laugh
ing outright.-Dr. Doroaa- L -

sed his engine, and jumping of ran ahead in
the hope that he might be in time TO take the
child from the track. He ran as fast US he
could, but the locomotive was 80 close that he
was obliged to jump on the COW catcher to
catch the object Of his solitude. He succeeded
In pushing the child clear from the track. and

noble conduct. The appreciation of those pres
ent was gratifying TO Mr.. D., but the knowl-
edge that he had snatched from death help
less child, and saved a world of agony for It's
parents, was far moro 50. There are few per-

Mary Ann Chips, a weIl-lOoking, stylishly

upon Mary Ann Pepper. Both parties were
fast in wediock's bonds, and were next door
neighbors, at Lea Bridge. Csmrla;aant mr.

her sleeves like butcher. took her in her
arms, and beat her like baby. from which
blows she was covered with bruises. Not sat-
isfed with this, Mrs. Chips tore her hair ont.
and afterwards jumped upon her As she Law an

instigated by another lady, who calmly looked
on while the victim lay Z" like a lamb at slauxh-

Chips, who appeared mu;h to enjoy the det all
of this treatment, politely assured the magis-
trate that Mrs. Pepper was the agyressor in
asmuch as before the kitten in question was
heard Of, Mrs Pepper cruelty. wantonly, and
with malice aforethought, killed g favorite

for she nearly pulled his ears of, aid when q

virago turned on her, smashing q beautiful
tortoise-sheli comb and her bugles which
treatment she MRS. Chips) did not even at

with Christian virtue. The fact is, said the de-
fendant, the charge arises from jealousy, in
consequence of its being my Office to collect

adjoining ones. Mrs. Chips, in her turn.
called a witness named Ayres, another dashinc

IDIocY CAUSED BY FRIGHr OR JoY.-In San
Domingo, in May last, three distinguished
Generals we're sentenced to death, by bcing
shot. On the morning of carrying the sentence
into effect, priests were sent to the prisoners
to confess them. They all knelt down, their
sentence was read, and the firing party were
commanded to load and point their muskets
upon the unfortunate. At this moment Santa
Anna cried "halt!" and ordered his aid-de-
camp to read a proclamation pardoning the
accused. The hurrahs of the soldiery were
tremendous But Francisco Ruis, one of the
persons condemned to death, rose from his
knees an idiot, 1t is probable that the sudden
change from fright to JOY completely destroyed
his brain.
