APPLETON's JOURNAL has a long article
narrating how Lady Mary WortJey
Montague came to this country and tray-
eled around, along with Horatio Seymour.
The lady who did this was the Honor
able Miss Murray, one of Victoria
maids of honor, and a niece of the Duke
of Argyle. She was discharged from the
Queens suite on account of the extreme
pro-slavery ideas which she promulgated
shortly after her tour in America. She
was great botanical student, and used to
astonish American fashionables by the
extreme plainness of her dress and habits

THE FoLLIEs OF GREAT WEN.

Tycho Brahe, the astronomer, changed
color and his legs shook under him on
meeting with hare OF a fox. DIR. John
son would never enter a room with his
left foot foremost; if by mistake it did
get in first, he would step back and place
his right foot foremost. Julius Cesar was
almost cOnvulsed by the sound Of thunder,
and always wanted to get in a cellar
or under ground to escape the dread
full noise. To Queen Elizabeth the
simple word "death" was full of
horrors. Even Talleyrand trembled
and changed color on hearing the word
pronounced Marshal SAKE, who met
and overthrow opposing armies, fled and
screamed in terror at the sight of cat
Peter the Great could never be persuaded
to cross a bridge, and though he tried to
master the terror he failed to do so :;
whenever he set his foot on one he would
shrek out in distress and agony. Byron
would never help any one to salt at the
table, nor would he be helped himself !;
if any of the article happened to bespilled
on the table, he would jump up and
leave his meal unfinished.

HELPER REPENTS.

Instances of conscience money are
rare. Yet they do sometimes occur. But
instances of political penance, such as
the following, occur once in decade.
The following card from Impending
Crisis" Helper, published in the Raleigh
On. c. Sentinel, has an air of decided
freshness:
SIR have seen it stated in the news
papers that certain members of the Legis-
lature, from facetiOus impulses, or from
motives exclusively their own, have voted
for me for Clerk Of the House of Repre-
sentatives. That any such preposterous
action was ever contemplated or intended,
| had not the slightest intimatiOn until !
saw it published. 1t would be matter
of regret with me to suppose that any
man, possessed of a good heart and a
weIl-balanced mind, would do me the in
Justice to believe that / would or could,
under any conceivable circumstances, ac-
cept any office, however high or however
humble, that could possibly be offered me
by the Radical party, or any other unnat-
ural pro-negTo party.
