! DICKENS is said to have found the original
or at least the suggestion-Of Sam Weller in
/ Samuel Vale, a popular low comedy actor.

/ comparisons (Which form also one of the hu-
mors of Sam Weller's conversatiOn) for
/ which his every day talk was distinguished,
were layishly introduced by the actor INTO ms

THE following characteristic story of John
Bull on his travels is making the round Of
the Continental papers: A short time ago
the visit of Lord S., member of the House of
Lords, and family, consisting of Lady S. and
daughters, was announced to Victor Hugo.
! When The poet entered the drawing room.
Lord ). turned TO his wife. saying: m. Vic
tor Hugo, great poet" The poet bowed.
| Then the noble lord addressed his daughters:
''NIctOr Hugo. NOtre Dame de ParlsW The
poet bowed again. After moments pause
Lord 5. produced a large pOcketbook, seeing
which Victor Hugo was prepared to he
asked for his autograph. Instead of making
that request, however, the visitor looked at his
watch, then again at his pocket6oOk, and
said: '.At 10 O'Clock the giraffe at the Jardin
! d. 'AcclimatatiOn," after which speech the
noble party Of sightseers withdrew.
THE influence of the imagination is Illus
/ trated by a Cincinnati DOCTORS story which is
! going the rounds of the papers: y big, hulk
! ing fellow got the notion that he was to die at
II O'Clock on a certain day. The doctor was
| sent for and arrived just fifteen minutes be-
| fore the crank intended to die. lie looked
! like a man on the verge of eternity. His eyes
were dim and sunken, his face had that pecu
! liar pallor which heralds the near approach
| OF death, and his breathing was very labored.
! The falRily were gathered around and weep
| ing as they took final leave. Something had
| to be done quick. Calling smart-loOklng
woman aside, the doctor told her to set the
| clock on the mantepiece ahead as soon as he
! got the attention OF the patient. He then
! hustled the family out of the room. sat down
! or the edge of the bed, and began telling the
! fellow bood-curdling murder story, locat
| ing it in a town where he knew everybody,
| and so completely interested him that he for
! got about his IL O'Clock appointment. when
| / gave him chance to look agair," relates
| the doctor, lit WAS twenty minutes To y, and
| he was actually mad for time, claiming that
| he had been tricked. lie finally got TO laugh
| ing. and we all took dinner together. The
| next day ne whipped two men at barn-rais-
| ing for twitting him about the programme OF
| death that miscarried.'
