HISTORIC LOVING CUP.
Owned In Turn by Goldsmith, carriels,
DR.. johnson and Burke.

Owned In Turn by Goldsmith, Garrick,
DR.. johnson and Burke.
The famous literary society of Lon
don called the Savage club has tradi-
donal connection with Wills coffee
house and the Mermaid tavern of ear
ly days. The reader of Mr.. Watson's
volume of history and anecdote relat-
ing to the club will come across In its
pages incidental mention of things that
recall names that are famous In our
literature. How rich in associations a
simple drinking cup may become is
shown by the following:
In 1902 there was brought to the
club a most remarkable relic of which
the lord mayor Of London had recently
obtained possession. This was a low
ing cup holding a pint or little more
which, as certain inscriptions testified,
was at one time the property of Oliver
Goldsmith On Goldsmith's death 1t
passed into the hands of David Gar
rick and thence to the possession of
one of the literary and artistic clubs
of the day.
Then after an interval it passed into
DR. Johnson's hands, for one Of the In
scriptions engraved on its silver rim
records that it was presented to Burke
by his friend Samuel Johnson, doctor
Of letters. as memento Of Johnson's
visit to Beaconsfield, which was
Burke's home. The date Of the pres
entation was 1779, five years after the
death of Goldsmith and five before the
death of Johnson.

the result of placing the body in hot

decay, it became desiccated and pre-

naturally led to grave robbing, which

Egyptians to regard the preservation
of the body as the condition of the
