THE LADY IN GREY SILK.

The New York correspondent Of the Phila-
delphia Mercury, in referring to the fact that
the Hon. James Quiggle, formerly 9 member
OF the Pennsylvania Senate from Clinton and
Centre Counties, had taken up his residence
An the Quaker City, relates the following
amusic anecdote
some years since on the road from Lancas-
'er 10 Phlladelphia, on a blazing hot sum-
Gier oay, Judge Jim Pollock. (yOur present
IoVernor1 Hon. Jim Quiggle, then plain
hS"yer Quiggle) and your correspondent,
VINO knew the former well, but not the latter,
were ai0ne In the resr-nost car Of the train.
jim foiiock was looking out of the car win
dow, at place where the train stopped 20
water, when suddenly he drew his white
handkerchief from his pocket, and began Wig
orously waving it in the air, at the same time
bobblng his head out Of The window in a yery
vigorous manner.
"W hat are you about, Judge?" asked Mr..
q without raising from his seat
"Why don't you see yonder? There's
lady waving white handkerchief, and I'm
returning the salute-some acquaintance /
made formerly, suppose"
Judge T. ceased, but in few moments he
again looked out and resumed the operation
with his cambric
"Who is she, Judge ?" asked Mr.. q as
he lounged In one corner of the car with his
neither extremities curled up like a gigantic z.
"Well, the fact is, / don't exactly know
L IN quite near sighted, and can't recognize
her but she is dressed in grey silk, and
stands yonder, under big maple tree near
my friend John b. s house"
BY and by the locomotive gave a snort and
the train began to move. Judge Pollock again
hlrted his cambria to the lady in a fiuaI sa-
lutte, and this time Jim Quiggle thought he
| would have peep at her So he crossed
over to the Judge, and poking out his head
took view, but didn't see the lady Never
theless, the Judge kept on waving his hand
| kerchlef the perspiration rolling down his
face with the effort.
Where is she? L don't see anybody, :"
said Mr.. O., after scanning tho landscape,
without observing any female.
Ihere." was the rather petulent reply;
don't You see that lady in the grey silk
dress, standing under the maple tree, waving
a white handkerchief
There was a suppressed snorting sound, and
Jim Quiggle rolled over on to the seat, red in
the face as a boiled lobster, while your cor
respondent picked him up in state of violent
paroxysm of laughter, and laid him out upon
the seat After sacrificing all the buttons on
his vest and Wristbands, he explained TO the
Judge the occasion Of the cachinnatory spasm
The Judge had been exchanging salutes for
twenty minutes with an iron-grey mare, whose
long white tail, as it tapped away the flies,
had been taken by him for white handker-
chief waved by lady in a grey silk dress
The Judge didn't swear, but he changed the
subject to saw mills, the only portion Of which
was Ineligible being the frequent repetition
of the word "dam."

B The forger Of the Schiller manuscripts
has been tried at Weimar, and sentenced to two
years imprisonment 1t was developed on the
trial that no less than Ala manuscripts had
been sold by him, and of these but six were
genuine. Being asked by the court how he
came in possession of so large number OF
autographs, he said that his father had for a
number of years been collecting them, and
that he had devoted fourteen long years TO the
same business. To the question how they
came in his hands, he gave the names of three
persons: a certain Miss Nets, who had been
for some time housskeeper In the house of
Schiller, a trader of old books from jena by
the name of Rottek, and that of a former
servant at the library Of Weimar, Remhild.
Two of these prsons are dead, and the third,
he said, had gone to America.
