woman did for this odd hater an eclipse
did for Charles discard, Bishop OF
Langres. 1t was his inconvenient custom
always to faint at the commencement OF
lunar eclipse, and remain insensible as
long as it lasted When he was very old
and very infirm an eclipse took place.
The good Bishop went off as usual, and
never came to again.
James /. never overcame his horror OF
cold steel When he knighted Kenelm
Digby, his hand shook so that, had not
Buckingham guided the royal blade, the
new knight would have paid for the ham
die to his name with the loss of an eye.
Peter the Great, man of very different
mettle, had at one time such a terror of
water that he could not cross brook
without being taken with strong convul-
sions; but, ashamed of being the slave
of an unmanly weakness, he determined
to conquer it, and ultimately became as
fond of the water as he had been averse
to it. An antipathy must be such a
troublesome possession that one must be
enough for anybody. Exeter, however,
once counted among its natives young
| lady who not only had mortal aversion
| to all colors save green, yellow and
white, but was thrown into a perspira-
| ton by every funeral that passed her
way; and, more wonderful still, became
UNCONSCIOUS Immediately she set eyes
upon uniform. If this maiden of many
| antipathies was ever Wooed and won, and
her fancies survived marriage, her hus-
| band must have had anything but a
good time Of it, and probably had rea-
| son to wish she had resembled the Taun-
ton spinster, whose demise was chron-
icied sixty years ago in these words
Lately, in Grays Alms-house, Taunton,
aged eighty-two, Hannah Murton, a
maiden lady. She vowed, several years
ago, that no he-fellow should ever touch
her, living or dead. In pursuance of
this resolution, about ten years since, she
purchased coffin, in which, whenever
She felt serious illness, she Immediately
deposited herself-thus securing the graf
ification of her peculiar .sensibility. y

AMONG the guests at one of our we'll
known summer resorts is wealthy bach
elor, whose bank account is much better
than his photography. A party of guests
were playing game where ball made
of a handkerchief is thrown from one to
the other with the salutation of "Here
comes ship laden With; each sue
cessiye receiver being obliged to name a
commodity for cargo beginning with the
letters of the alphabet in turn. When
the kerchief alighted at the letter K in the
bachelors lap he shouted Krockery"
which excited a smile, and the game
hastily proceeded when it was found
that the word was given in good faith
and not as joke. The ROBUSTNESS of a
young lady, however, caused the flying
messenger to alight in his lap the second
time at the letter S, whereat the receiver
shouted Sinnamonw so triumphantly
that somehow or other there was so
much laughing that it was thought best
to try another Commercial Botl-
letsn.
