disaster: 1.-THE water rolled down over tho

The Writer of Jnnius.

It saams stranGa that -love-1etter
should supply another link in fixing
the authorship of the most scathing in
vective and the bitterest sarcasm in the
language. But there is published ut
the end of Mr.. Chabot's book, as the
work of another well-known expert,
Mr. Netherclift, the fac-simile of an
epistle to lady, in disguised upright
hand of Sir Philip Francis, that is
identical with the disguised upright
hand of Junius. 1t was written at
Bath in the winter of ITO to Miss
Giles, the daughter of one of the Off
Gals of the Bank of England, afterward
Governor when in the time of Mr.. Pitt
the bank stopped payment. In those
days it was customary at the assembly
rooms for lady to retain her partner
during the whole of the evening, and
for several evenings Mr.. Francis and
Miss Giles danced together. The re-
suit of it was very tolerable copy of
verses, delivered to Miss Giles with an
anonymous letter, wherein the writer
declared that, having found the verses,
which were unaddressed, he could not
conceive for whom they were meant
unless for her. At the time the young
lady suspected the author, but said
nothing, and it was not till years after
ward, when, though the wife of Mr..
King, of Taplow, she still kept the
papers, that scrap of Junius writing
was being handed round the company
in which she happened to be. "Why,"
exclaimed Mrs. King, when the paper
came to her, II know that writing.
The person who wrote that wrote me
some verses and letter." And on
comparison, though the verses were
plainly by another hand. the letter was
as plainly in the hand of Junius.
The verses, Sir Philips composition,
were afterward proved to have been
dictated to his friend Tilghman, who
spent the winter of ITO with him at
Bath, in one of whose letters from
America part of q verse is jokingly
quoted, in proof of Francis capacity
for poetry Of the highest order. That
Sir Philip publicly and in the strongest
terms denied the authorship is very
well known, but by that denial one is
only reminded of the reply said to have
been made under similar circumstances
by the author of "Ecce Homo: "Why,
if I had written it, you know / should
certainly say hadn't The CorrthiH
Magazine.

Delicacies OF a Siege.

A charming French lady who passed
through the painful days of the
siege of Paris, was relating in her
graceful way to a friend some of
her experiences. She said that
rats and mice, however disguised by
intelligent cookery, became quite
distasteful; the latest cats palled upon
the palate. If, however, stray pigeon
happened to settle upon the roof, the
street instantly became full of people
seeking to entrap the delicacy. 1t
often happened, however, that the
pigeon turned out to be messenger
bird, and hence as sacred as the ibis of
Egypt. an fact" said the story-teller,
"this was so often the case that to this
day / can never bear to eat pigeon.
/ always feel as If 1 were devouring the
postman. "-Ne1o York Graphic.
