TIE HoP.-Hopping is said to be very
healthy operation. Many have had COM
plete restoration of health by it. Though
the taste be bitter, the perfume is delicious.
It is quite an attraction, and gives ono an idea
of the manner in which insects are drawn to
their own peculiar diet or comfort by the
sense of smell. Unfortunately, it is only to
be richly perceived in the direction of the
wind, and, after a few shifts, it ceases to be
perceived at all. But German homGopathists,
who are very sensitive creatures, and partic-
ularly fearful of all sorts of smells, are aw-
fully afraid of a hop-kiln. We remember a
case of a young lady, who was under German
homeopathic treatment, telling her physi-
clan that she had been a4hopping, and she
began to expatiate on the deliciousness OF
the perfume. But he screamed with horror:
"Horreeblel'h most horreeble You
could not have done any thing worsel, You
have spoiled the effect of all my medicine.
shall just have to begin againll Did not
tell you to keep free of smells?" "I don't
call it a smell, | call it perfume" retorted
the lady. "Vell, it is de same ding" said the

The "ETTRrcK SHEpHERDp AND SrR WALTER
ScoTT.-Quite a number of the Rterati had
been asked to meet the rustic poet at dinner.
When Hogg entered the drawing room, Lady
Scott, being in delicate health, was reclining
on sofa. After being presented, he took
possession of another sofa, opposite to her,
and stretched himself thereupon at fllllength,
for, as he afterward said 'Tthought could
do no wrong to copy the lady of the house"
The dress of the Ettrick Shepherd at that time
was precisely that in which any ordinary
herdsman attends cattle to the market, and as
his hands, moreover, bore most legible marks
Of a recent sheepsheering, the lady of the
house did not observe with perfect equanimity
the novel usage to which her chintz was ex-
posed. Hoggi however, remarked nothing of
all this-dined heartily, and drank freely, and,
by jest, anecdote, and song, afforded great
merriment to all the company, AS the wine
operated, his familiarity increased and
strengthened; from "Mr. Scott" he advanced
to 'Shirra" Sheriff. and thence to Scot"
''Walter' and Waite" until at length he
fairly convulsed the whole party by address

The Constantinople correspondent Of the
New York Hsraid, In lste letter observes:
A few days since Il WAS reported that the
wife of I'll Hami Pacha d dahghtef u the
Sultan, had made her escape to Egytt ID one
of her husbands commercial steamers. The
Pacha has been there for some time on q
leave Of absence from the Sultan land his
royal spouss, for the purpose Of looking after
his immense estates, from which he is said to
derive an income of over d million Of dollars

ment she is in fair way TO make him q

Id Latierly, when another Of the Sultan's
daughter s--married to Mohammed Pacha--
was confined, and the child lived but q few
days, and was, therefore, supposed 70 have
been q male infant, which, according to the
cruel policy Of the Ottoman Government,
could not be allowed TO the heirs of the Sui
tan's throne. Lest her child should, unfor-
tunately, be boy, and follow the fate Of its
cousin, the wife Of FL Hami Pacba connived
with her absent husband to rejoin him In
Egypt. On the previous occurrence referred
| to, some of the foreign representatives made
strong but Inefficient renonstrances with the
Porte against its barbarous policy, and the
matter was laid by his Ministers before the Sui
tan. It is now said that to eyade repetition
of the outrage upon humanity, the Sultan
has sanctioned his daughters flight into
! Egypt" where, however, her husband is not
a very popular guest of the Viceroy, who
apprehends that in the event of his own de-
cease FL Hami Pacha may succeed him in the
government Of the Egyptian Province.

Singular story of n Lost Dank-Note.

In the year l74O, one of the Directors, a
very rich man, had occasion for 100000,
($l45,000) which he was to pay as the price OF
an estate he bad just bought; to facilitate the
matter, he carried the sum with him to the
Bank and obtained for it a Bank-bill. On
his return home, he was suddenly called out
upon particular business, and laid the bill
upon the chimney shelf but when he came
back, a few minutes afterward, to lock it up,
it was not to be found. No one had entered
the room; he could not, therefore, suspect any
person. AT last, after much Intellectual search,
he was persuaded that it had fallen from the
chimney into the fire. The Director went to
acquaint his colleagues with his misfortune;
and as he was known to be aperfectly honor.
only about tfour-and-twenty hours from the
time that he had deposited his money; they
thought, therefore that it would be hard to
refuse his request for second bill. ...
He received it upon giving i'm obligation to.
restore the first bill, if it should ever be
found, or TO pay the money himself if il
should be presented by any stranger. About
thirty years afterward 1.-THE Director having
been long dead, and his heirs in possession Of
his fortune an unknown person presented
the lost bill at the Bank and demanded pay
ment- 1t was in vain that they mentioned
TO this person the transaction by which that
bill was annulled; he would not listen to it;
he maintained that it had come to him from
abroad, and insisted upon immediate, pay
ment. The note was payable to bearer: and
the thirty thousand pounds were paid him.
The heirs of the Director refused restitution;
and the Bank was obliged to sustain the loss.
It was discovered afterward that an architect,
having purchased the Directors house had
taken it down, in order to build another
upon the same spot, had found the note in a
crevice of the chimney, and made his dis
coyery an engine for robbing the Bank
Carelessness, equal to that here recorded, is
not at all uncommon, and gives the Bank en-
ormous profit against which the loss of a
mere thirty thousand pounds is but a trife.
Bank-notes have been known to light pipes,
to wrap up snuff, to be used as curl papers;
and British tars, mad with rum and prize
money, have not unfrequently,. in time of
war, eaten them as sandwiches between bread
and butter. In the forty years between the
years 1892 and 1882 there were outstanding
notes presumed to have been lost or des-
troyed) amounting to one million three
hundred and thirty odd thousand pounds;
every shilling of which was clear profit to the

ANToINETTE Brown ON MARRIAGE.---Mrs.
Antoinette Brown Blackwell said, in a recent
lecture, there were two sides to every lques-
claring that marriage is the voluntary alli-
ance of two persons, and from the nature of
the case must be as permanent as the life OF
the parties; but in no case has man or woman
right to surrender his Individual freedom,
physical, mental or moral. Mrs. Blackwell
argued that the marriage relation can no
more be dissolved than the relation Of par
rent to a child, and that the only question, is,
whether there is really marriage. She pro-
tested in strong terms against the subjugation
her sex who submit as weak and 4 helpless
creatures.

A Slave sexton Obeys his Masters Orders
t.t llw

The burial ground at Algiers, New Orleans,
in which the remains Of the millionaire, John
McDonough, were inferred, was established
by Mr.. McDonough himself, about fifty years
ago as a place of burial for bis slaves, and a
favorite slave named Jack was honored with
the honorary post of sexton. Gradually the
cemetery became popular and populous, and
Jack was authorized by his master to collect
the money paid for interments, &c, task
which he accomplished with business-like
correctness and fidelity. il HaANi
According to the business account kept by
McDonough with all his slaves, (noting and
rating their daily labor on his books, and by
an original mathematical plan of his own,
emancipating them as soon as the books
showed they had little more than paid for
themselves, expenses and interest included }
Old Jack was presented with his free papers
some years before his master died. He still
remained the sexton of the McDonough
cemetry; and some eight or ten years ago il
fell to his lot to see his old friend and former
master buried in the inclosure which he had
| guarded SO long-and since McDonough's
death Jack has stuck to his old post, attend
| ing to burials and collecting the expenses,
the same as in former years. ID t.. t.r.l
A few weeks ago it was decided to disinter
the remains of the dead millionaire fort rams
portation and reinterment at Baltimore, and
the exhumation was being progressed with
when Jack-who is currently reported to be
a hundred years old--was on hand and de-
manded $25 before consenting to the removal
Of the body; stating that Massa Johns orders
to him, ever since he had been sexton, were
not to let any one take q body out of the
| graveyard without paying $25. Jacks de-
mands were laughed at and the resurrec-
'tionists having completed their task placed
the coffin containing the earthly remains Of
| McDonogh upon q wagon aud conveyed it TO

sent to the ignoring of his claim, and fol.
