"A CtRR FOR THE GREo1AN BENp..

"A CURE FOR THE GRECIAN BEND
The Hamilton (Canada) Spectator tells
the following story, which should be
o warning to fair smugglers and Gre
clan benders particularly:
The Grecian bend was put to q
novel use on the Buffalo and Lake
Huron railway, few days since. In
one of the first-class cars sat hand
some young lady, dressed in the
height of fashion, who appeared to
be suffering under rather painful
attack of Grecian bend. AS is usual
on the trains arrival on the Ameri-
can side, the baggage of the passen-
gers was examined by the United
States custom officer. "Have you
any baggage, Miss?" inquired the
officer Of the aforesaid young lady.
<'Nothing, except this" replied she,
producing small valise.
The officer examined and returned
it, at the same time, scanning the
person of the young lady, in q man
ner that almost amounted to rude
ness. "Will you follow me to the
custom Office, Miss?" said the official.
The corners of his mouth were al
most drawn into smile, and mis-
ckievous twinkle was perceptible in
his eyes, as he led the way to the
searching-room. Arrived in the
Office, the lady's face, which had pre-
viously been of marble whiteness,
assumed a crimson hue. "What is
here, ma'am?" said the officer, pass
ing his hand over the back. of her
dress. ''That is my Grecian bend, :"
replied she, meekly casting down her
eyes. 81 did not know there was
any duty to pay on it; if there is, tell
me how much, and 1 will pay it. ("
'"There is no duty to pay on it, but
we must examine it," replied the OBJ
stinate officer.
A female searcher was procured,
and after strong protests on the part
of the young lady, the mystery of the
"Grecian Bend" alias the "Montreal
wriggle," F." was unraveled, and found
to contain twelve yards of black silk
velvet, six pair of French kid gloves,
forty yards of rich lace, four white
ostrich feathers and bottle of Gill
bert's magic hair restorer. The
United States customs are now con-
vinced OF the reason why the Grecian
bend has had such rage, and they
intend to give their particular atten-
tion to any cases of this infectious
disease which may come under their
notice for the future. All cases of
Grecian bend will be Immediately
put under quarantine on their arrival
across the border.

Baron Rothschild's family relations
were happy, but he lived to see the
evil consequences of the system of
family intermarriage the brothers
had adopted. Each married cousin
and their children married cousins.
One of the Baron's sons was deaf aud
paralytic; another died of disease of
the heart. DIR. Troussean, who was
called in to attend the latter, said to
the Baron: eff you continue to inter
marry among your kindred, the next
generation of Rothschild will be
baboons." The Baron's only mar
riageable son was, after this speech,
married to Mile Anspnch, the daugh-
ter of a judge of the French Supreme
Court. Her father gave her $780,
600 for her dowry. The Baron re-
turned it to her family the day after
the wedding, saying: "She is my
daughter now; 'tis for me to take care
of her."

The champion eater of the United
States is named Joshua Plumb. A
few days ago, he entered restaurant
in Hudson, New York, and offered to
eat all that any one would pay for.
The challenge having been accepted,
he disposed of the following articles
Ten pieces of apple pie, six corn
cakes, quarter of pound of crack
ers, six cups of peanuts, thirty
picked CLANS, four lemons, an ounce
of candy. and two bowls of clam
soup. He then drank six tumblers
of water and offered to eat hundred
raw oysters. No one doubted his
ability to accomplish the feat, but no
one was willing to pay for the oysters,
and SO he went off grumbling that he
wasn't half full.
