Eccenthicties or Gil eat Men. An
article containing a remarkable ex
pose of the " eccentricities of greut
men" is being extensively published
by the newspaper press. It rettly con
tains most important information!
For instance, we are told that " Sir
.Richard Steele would sometimes spend
forty guineas on a black peruko;"
"Cowper bred rabbits, and made bird
cagos;" "Dr. Johnson made an espec
ial pet of his cat." Extraordinary ec
centricities 1 Puck has made a new
collection of the eccentricities of great
men. which he hopes will be appreua
tod : Doctor Johnson, in addition to
making a pot of his cut, would often
stroke a dog. Gray used always to eat
poas with a fork, and had an uncon.
querable dislike to putting bis knife
iu his mouth. The late Duke of Wel
lington always insisted upon having
bis coats made to order, and as be do.
tested ready-made clothing, always
paid ready money for' his clothus.
Sir Walter Scntt used constantly, on
a muddy day, to stop and givo a half
penny to a crossing-sweoper. Salva
tor liosa was so found of a little dog,
that he would allow it to lick his hand.
Beethoven used to take a cold bath
every morning. We borrowed this
last remarkable fact from the list ul-
roady in, print. Cowper had a groat
objection to lending bis tooth'-brush
even to bis nearest and dearest
friend; he was roinarkably nice in his
habits, and would always insist upon
having salt-spoons and a silver kuife
for his butter on his dinner table.
Shelley was in the habit of whistling
softly whon in deep thought. The
author of the remarkable article to
which we refer commences it thus:
" It is a trite saying, that no man is
a hero to his valet; and the greatest
raon that history records huvo had
their little weaknesses, flattering to
J humanity because prov ng them mor
tala and not demi-ijods." To prove
Charles II. a mortul, and not a demi
god, be relates, that he used to walk
in St. James' Park with a troop of
spaniels utter him and teed the ducks.
Wonderful condescension in a king 1
Our author concludes by saying:
" We might easily extend our list ; we
might extend it to the present day,
and tell how Emperor Norton never
cleans bis boots; bow Doctor Eowoll
always asks his patients what their
political opinions are before he pre
scribes for them; how Judge Piatt
never used a comb tor bis hair, but ar
ranges it with his fingers: how Jump,
the artist, when about to have a tooth
drawn, always makes a funny sketch
of it nrst; how Ward, the inventor
of tbo celebrated Ward's shirts, always
fits two perteot, one over the other;
how Tom Maguire goes into convul
sion at the sound of an oath or pro
fane word; we might do this, but
we respect the little weaknesses of our
neighbors. Puck has his little eccon.
tricitios; he would rather pat a res
pectable dog in the streets than walk
arm in arm with a thief; be would
rather shake bands with a laborer in
a grey shirt than speak to a rogue in
broad cloth who makes his living by
following the profession or quack doc
tor, bluck-mailer, etc, and moves in
the best sooiety .Puck.
The streets of our cities' towns. and
villages, will be swurmod with the
dead and dying. The groans and
yells of horror will fill every breast
with consternation. lonlumon wi
abound on ull sides The death knell
will cease to toll as the malady rages
in fury. Tbo infected will fall and
die wherever they take it. The stench
of the dead will become so common
that the survivers will not heed it."
