Notorious "Billingsgate.

This is the notorious Billingsgate,
but one looks in vain for the fish wife
who made its ancient fame. 1t is
no use to inquire after her from the
porters, they have never heard of her
existence. Her brawny arms are for.
gotten, her eagle eye for custom, her
thirst for gin, her shrewd gibes, her
ready pipe and her more ready re-
partee, her torrents of invective. Evil
answers made her bile boil over. Only
one human means was ever found to
quiet her. 1t is said TO be one Of
Horne Tookes titles TO fame that he
silenced fish-wife with the retort:
Madam, believe me, you are n par
allclopipedon" But what man could
not accomplish for one moment has
been done forever by the slow lapse of
years. OF all her rhetorical armory
only profanity remains, and even this
is so like the universal profanity of
man that it makes the fish-wife seem
the more hopelessly extinct. = John
Corbin, in Scribner's.

Commerce Ruled by the Tide,

For some twenty centuries, the com
merce of London has drifted up with
the tide, and down with the tide. The
strenuous Romans Of old found town
of the Britains at Lin-dyn, and con
quered it; and the strenuous SaXons
conquered the town the Romans had
left. The strenuous Danes made them
selves masters of the Saxons, aud then
came the strenuous William of Nor.
mandy, and built the massive tower
over there TO dominate the city and
port, But in London to-day the COM
merce still drifts, and is steered, None
of the great ports of the world has had
a longer or more varied history; it is
the heart of the greatest Of commercial
nations, and the cradle of the mistress
of the seas; but it is still regulated by
the tide. 1t is at last well proved, this
philosophy of drifting and steering.
Who can say that it will not continue
TO rule the world for another 1000
years? Its methods are not brilliant,
but they are sure.-John Corbin, in
Scribner's.

FORTUNES FOUND BY ACCIDENT.
Queer Places Men Have Hidden Large
Sumo of Money.

"In the sure knowledge that man
doeos not turn to his bible until he is
In the greatest distress, have placed
$500 in notes between pages 141 and
142-Hamburg. 1873" This curious
and welcome letter was found by a
Hamburg shopkeeper when, in dire
misfortune, he had determined to sell
the family bible that had been in his
possession for many years. Looking
through it before taking it out of the
house, he found the letter and bank
notes At such a critical time for
tune would not have been more vel
come. The shopkeeper had failed in
business, his wife had long been IL.
and consequently he was much in
debt. The discovery of over $50, 900
was the result Of a game at hide-and-
seek. Some children were playing
near the ruins Of an old mansion in
the Canton of Argoore, Switzerland,
when one of them, hiding from the
others, found large box partially
burned. 1t was almost filled with
money, jewelry and other valuables.
The father, on behalf of the children,
claimed $4,000 as a reward for their
find. His claim was contested, how
ever, and the Swiss courts eventually
awarded $500 to the children.

A Curious Stcry.

A curious story about the royal tour
comes from Portsmouth, England.
When the Ophir, with the Duke ano
Duchess of Cornwall on board, was
nearing st. Helena, the signal was
made to the attendant cruisers, St.
George and Juno, as it was desirable
to reach port before nightfall, Can
you steam another knott" and the
Juno replied, yes, four If you please
This answer was regarded as imperti-
nent, and when the vessels reached
Portsmouth, as mild form OF pun
ishment, the Juno was ordered to lie
up the harbor, while the more re-
spectful st. George came alongside
the dockyard. And the Juno is lying
at her moorings still.

JOHNSON AND BOSWELL.
The Biographer ShreWd Man, VIII:
Knew His Value.


It will be said, and truthfully said,
Boswell was a great artist. So in.
deed he was, n superb artist and a
self-conscious one. Nobody knew bet,
ter than he what great subject good
luck had put in his way He loved
Johnson with perfect sincerity. but he
also loved that James Boswell who
from his earlier days had been sim.
ply devoured with anxiety for literary
fame Boswell saw his way to write
book the world would willingly let
die. But these considerations fail al.
together to reassure me; indeed 1t is
just these very considerations that
ill me with alarm. | am dreadfully
suspicious of great artists bent on i'm.
mortality. Their one object, their
fixed and almost fierce determination
Is to make a great and lasting i'm
preston In the minds of men; and to
do this they know, else were they no
artiste, that they must make great
sacrifice-they must leave some things
out-they must put other things in
the color must not be too bright in
this place or too faint in that. Much
has to be sacrificed ere you can pro-
duce either great book or great
picture. What if it is the truth?
Suppose, after all, the Johnson we
know and love is, indeed, only Bos-
wells Johnson. Something, of course,
must be allowed to the idiosyncraci IS
of the biographer. Nobody sees any
thing in exactly the same light as an-
other. Burke's Johnson, Levitt's John
son, were doubtless all different, each
from the other, and from Boswel's
Johnson.

THE CRUMBLER.

The grumbler growls at natures plan;
He's sorry that he's human.
He doesn't want to be man
Nor yet to be a woman.
He'd hate to be beast or such
As share the fish's lot;
In fact, t would not annoy him much
If he were not.
He takes you by the button-hoie
And grumbles in your ear,
He tells you THAT his very soul
Is shriveled up and sere.
He wishes he were dead and gone;
But, whew! You'd make him hot
To hint the world would still jog on
If he were not.
