1t was stated a few years ago in -
German newspaper that three Of the
most beautiful women of ST. Peters
burg were driven direct from one Of
the imperial balls in their own car
riages, in all their Guecy of satin and
lace, to the police station, and after
being mounted on a mans shoulders,
with their dresses tucked up, were
smartly whipped with a birch rod
No explanation was given, but they
were dismissed with the significant
caution to hold their tongues in future.
At another imperial party some young
ladies, who had been chatting too
freely, were politely escorted by .
maitre d'hotel to a distant apartment,
where, being made to kneel over an
ottoman, they were severely smacked
by a female housekeeper with their
satin slippers, and then sent home.
A very deaf old gentleman by the name
of Parker, concluded to try and acquire a
little ofthe filthy lucre, by selling hulled
corn and milk, at one our county fairs.
He accordingly took his stand on the
grounds, and soon had good run Of Gus
tom. Among the crowd was a friend Of
his, who advanced and raising his voice to
its highest pitch, inquired: Flows your
health, Mr.. Parker p "Fo' pence pint, .
shouted our deaf uncle. ''How's your wife,
Uncle Parber?' again inquired the friend.
''AIilk to 90 with it, vociferated the deal

roars of the crowd.
