HE SONG OF THE SHIRT. An anecdote
which Mark Lemon loved to tell, related
to the period when Tom Hood became a
contributor to Punch. Loking over his
letters one morning. he opened an envel-
ope lnclosing poem which the writer
said had been rejected by three contempo-
rarles. If not thought valuable for Punch
he begged the editor, whom he knew but
slightly, to consign it to the waste
basket. as the author was 8 sick at the
sight oft" The poem was ST. gned Tom
Hood, and the lines We're entitled "The
Song of the Shirt" The work was alto
gether different from anything that had
ever appeared IN Punch, and was consid-
cred so much out of keeping with the
spirit of the periodical that at the weekly
meeting its publication was opposed by
several members of the staff. Mark
Lemon was SO firmly impressed. not only
with the beauty of the work, but with its
suitability for the paper, and he stood by
his first decision and published it. BY a
letter written by Tom Hood to Mark
Lemon, which we have for the moment
mislaid, it appears that the question of
illustrating the poem was entertained and
discussed. The lines, however. were
published without illustration except that
humorous border of grotesque figures
which made up l'nnch's Procession, :"
on December l6, 1843 "The Song Of
the Shirt trebled the sale of the paper,
and createda profound sensation through
out Great Britain. -Lontfop Society.

DEATH OF B. F. SHERWOOD.

The wire brings us the news of the
death Of B. f. Sherwood, says the Gold
Hill Neaos of November 9Th. He was
gentleman well known in Storey county.
he was one of the first to comprehend the
possibilities of the Comstock lode one
OF the first to invest thousands here.
with tirm faith that millions would be
returned for the thousands. Events
have proved the clearness of his iudp-
ment. For years he has been promi-
nent operator i'll the stocks of the great
mine. At one time he was Superintend-
ent OF the Yellow Jacket, and the whole
range of claims from the Sierra Nevada
to the Justice was as familiar to him as
the alphabet. They were indeed his al
phabet. and to read them and try to read
them right has been his study for de-
cade. He has for years been prominent
as one OF that select circle whom the
Comstock lifted from the ranks Of com
mon toilers, into the charmed atmos-
phere which is breathed by millionaires.
In this circle Mr.. Sherwood was held as
one OF the keenest and shrewdest opera
tors in Comstock stocks, and vet his
word was always as sacred as though it
was backed by bond signed by the
Rothschilds. Personally he was a So
cial, cordial and loveable man, and his
death will be deplored by hundreds of as
sincere mourners as ever gathered around
a dead man S bier

4 PARTISAN. SCANDAL.

Writing from Paris on November 11th.
our correspondent says: We have Just
had another scandal in the deni-monde
here that recalls the famous case of Cora
Pearl, though this case is hundred-fold
worse than hers. Miss Blackford, the
heroine of the diamond robbery at ST.
Petersburg, for which Grand Duke Of
the Imperial family was condemned, took
it into her head to publish a book. The
very idea is an outrage upon common de-
cency; In the Romance OF an american
girl IN Russia, Miss Blackford glides over
her early record, known to hundreds in
Philadelphia and New York. particularly
to the members of the Washington Club
in Paris. and represents herself as sort
of youthful La Valliere, burning for
strange adventures. She had formed a
plan to go to Russia to catch one of the
many Princes with which that country
abounds. and was lucky enough to fall
upon Grand Duke She describes the
love-making and the quarrels, and shows
the Grand Duke crazy with love and ab-
solutely under her control. She takes
occasion to launch many Parthian shaft
at the grand ladies of ST. Petersburg, and
gives the passionate letters OF her imper-
ial lover when in Khiva. Some of the
love letters sent her cost as high as fifteen
hundred roubies. With cruelty that
can hardly be characterized, the intimate
letters and notes cf this young man are
given in full. with details Of the way he
was deceived. A history of the diamond
robbery and the subsequent events. close
this audacious narrative. But Miss Black
ford sooa had reason to regret her course.
She had Just fitted up superb apartment
here, having lot of beautiful horses in
her stables, and was seen every day in
the Beis IN an equipage that could not
fail to excite the envy of princes. She
was generally accompanied by Mrs. Bee
cher. But all this felicity was brought to
sudden close by the seizure of the book,
and by Police order warning the author
to leave France within twenty-four hours.
The book was printed in Brussels. AS
soon as the seizure became known, there
WAS great demand for it, and one hun
dred francs was freely offered Be
side this book, Mrrio Monks Dauqhter is
nowhere, and do not think it possible
to find its parallel for malicious scandal
and pure innate cussedness.-NeloY York

All the above was said in one breath.

Two MERCHANTS at Nashua, N. H.,
were recently running each other on
stockings. The first trader marked down
the specimens at his door and, after his
rival had passed and noted the change
resumed the former prices. The trick
was repeated every morning for week
or more, until the second trader was sell
ing stockings, which cost at wholesale
twenty-five cents, for five cents. This
was the first traders opportunity. He
engaged the services of several girls and
boys, and before the second trader was
aware of the fact, his whole stock of
stockings had been transferred to the
counter of his rival at five cents per pair
and were being sold by him as "a bank
rnpt stock-at a great sacrifice ''-and
yet at a splendid profit.
