Two Strange Tales.
In the life of Mr. John Taylor, the
author of "Monsieur Tonson," and other
clever -whimsicalities, the following
strange tales are found. One is related
of a Mr. Donaldson, a literary man with
-whom Mr. Taylor was intimate in his
younger days:
"In order to attend the House of Com
mons, he had taken apartments in St.
Anne's Churchyard, Westminster. On
the evening when he took possession, he I
was struck with something that appeared
to him mysterious in tho manner of the
maid-servant, who looked like a man dis
guised; and he felt a very unpleasant
emotion. This feeling was strengthened
by a simular deportment in the mistress
of the house, who soon after entered his
room, and asked him if he wanted any
thing before he retired to rest. Disliking
her manner, he soon dismissed her, and
went to bed; but the disagreeable im
pression made on his mind by the maid
and the mistress kept him long awake; at
length, however, he fell asleep. Durinjr
his sleep he dreamed that the corpse of a
gentleman who had been murdered was
deposited in the cellar of the house.
This dream co-operating with the un-
favoraole, or rather repulsive counte
nances and demeanor of the two women,
precluded all hopes of renewed sleep;
and it being the summer season, he rose
about five in the morning, took his hat
and resolved to quit a house of such
alarm and terror.
"To his surprise, as he was leaving it,
he met the mistress in the entry, dressed
as if she had never gone to bed. She
seemed to be much agitated, she in
quired his reason for wishing to go out
so early in the morning. He hesitated
a moment with increased alarm, and
then told her that he expected a frienJ,
who was to arrive by a stage in Bishops
gate street, and that he was going to
meet him. He was suffered to go out
of the house, and when revived by tho
open air, he felt, as he afterward de
clared, as if relieved from impending
destruction. He stated that, in a few
hours after, he returned with a friend,
to whom he had told his dream, and the
impression made on him ly the maid
and mistress; he, however, only laughed
at him for his superstitious terrors; but
on entering the house they found that
it was deserted, and calling in a gentle
man who was accidentally passing, they
all descended to the cellar, and actually
found a corpse in the state which the
gentleman's dream had represented."
The other extraordinary story to
which we have alluded is as follows:
"Mrs. Brooke told me that she was
drinking tea one evening in Fleet Street,
where a medical gentleman was expect
ed but did not arrive till late. Apologiz
ing for his delay, he said he had attend
ed a lady who suffered under a contract
ed throat, which occasioned her great
difficulty in swallowing. She said that
she traced the cause to the following
circumstance: "When she was a young
woman, and in bed with her mother she
dreamed that she was on the roof of a
church struggling with a man who at
tempted to throw her over. He appear
ed in a carman's frock, and had red hair.
"Her mother rid iculed her terrors, and
bade her compose .herself to sleep again;
but the impression of her dream was so
strong that she could not comply. In the
evening of the following day she had
appointed to meet her lover at a bowling
green, from which he was to conduct her
bomi when the amusement was ended.
She had passed over one field in the
hopes of meeting the gentleman, and
sang as she tripped along; when she en
tered the second field, and accidentally
turning her head, she beheld in the cor
ner of the field just such a man as her
l . - -. .
ureara represented, dressed in
man's frock, with red hair and
ently approaching toward her.
a car-appar-
Her agitation was so great that she ran
with all her speed to the stile of the
third field, and with difficulty got over
it. Fatigued, however, with" running,
she sat on the stile to recover herself ;
and reflecting that the man might be
harmless, she was afraid that her flight
on seeing him might put evil and vindic
tive thought-, into his head. While in
this meditation the man had reached the
stile, and seizing her by the neck, he
dragged her over the stile, and she re
membered no more. It appeared that
he had pulled off her shawl, jacket, and
shoes, and thrown her into an adjoining
ditch. Fortunately a gentleman came
to the spot, and observing a body above
the water, he hailed others who were
approaching, and it was immediately
raised. It was evidently not dead, anil
some of the party, remarking that the
robber could not be far off, went in
pursuit of him, leaving others to guard
and endeavor to revive the body.
"The pursuers went different ways,
and some, at no great distance, saw a
man at a public house sitting with a
bundle before him. He seemed to be so
much alarmed at the sight of the gentle
man that they suspected him to bo the
culprit, and determined to examine the
bundle, in which they found the dress
of the lady which some mi them recog-'
nized. The man was, of course, im
mediately taken into custody, and was
to be brought to trial at the approaching
assizes. The lady, however, was too ill
to come into court; but appearances
were so strong against him that he was
kept in close custody, and when she was
able to give evidence, though he ap
peared at the trial with a different dress,
and with a wig on, she was struck with
terror at the sight of him, and fainted,
but gave evidence. The culprit was
convicted and executed. Tho medical
gendeman added that, when she had
finished her narrative, she declared that
she felt the pressure of the man's hand
on her neck while she related it, and
that her throat had gradually contract
ed from the time when the melancholy
event ocenred. At length her throat be
came so contracted that she was hardly
able to receive the least sustenance."

The Procession of Iady Godiva at
Coventry.
In " Old Streets and Houses of Eng
land," Scribner for September, occurs
the following description of the proces
sion in honor of Lady Godiva, which is
still celebrated at Coventry:
The order of tho procession was as
follows: First came tho city guards, an
ancient, and in former times, an import
ant iody 01 men; next came a figure of
St. George, who. it will be remembered.
was a native of Coventry; then came the
city streamer bearing the arms of Coven
try, and the two city followers. The
next object of attraction was the re
nowned Lady Godiva, mounted on a
white horse with rich housings and trap
pings. The city crier rode on one side
of her and the beadle on the other. The
woman representing tho fair patroness
of Coventrv was usuallv dressed in a
white cambric dress," closely fitted to
the body. Sho wore also a profusion of
loner, ilowincr locks, adorned with a Hi
let or bandeau of flowers and a plume of
white feathers. The Coventry ' Herald,
in describing, the procession of 1818,
speaks of a Madame Warton's perform
ance ol Crodivaas "ingmy sa.ibiuuiui.) .
"She was attired," v.e are told, "in a
close-fitting, elastic silk dress, ol pin-kv-white
color, entire from tho neck to
the toes, excepting the arms, which were
uncovered; over this a simple white
satin tunic edged with gold fringe com
pleted her ridincr-habit. Her only iiead
dress was the perfectly unartiticial and
not very profuse supply of glossy black
hair simply braided in front, and hang
ing down slightly confined behind."
Mr. "Warton. her husband, rode a short
distance behind as Edward, the Black
rrincc. Queen Margaret, Sir John Fal
staff, Bobin Hood, Friar Tuck, William
and Adam Botoner (the celebrated may
ors of Coventry), Sir Thomas' White, its
great benefactor, and Sir W. Dugdale,
tho eminent local historian, were also
represented in the cavalcade. Last in
this procession was a sylvan bower bear
ing the shepherd and shepherdess, a
capacious platform furnished with flow
ers, fountains, and foreign birds in
golden cages. The "HdrahV contin
ues: "The fleecy lambs and faithful
dogs formed an object which attracted
all eyes, while the arbor of evergreens,
rising and tapering off to a height of
forty feet, formed a magnificent finish
to the cavalcade. This show concluded
at three o'clock." The shepherd and
shepherdess, lambs and dogs were ex
hibited by the wool-combers, one of the
societies which took part in the proces
sion. Though the town has generally
taken pride in this show there have al
ways been some to despise it and to say
with Queen Elizabeth:
" Ye men of Coventry,
Good lack, what fools je !.!"
Scaring Away the Eclipse. Soon
after my arrival at Bagdad, on the even
ing on the first day in May, as we were
dinning on the terrace, we were startled
by a most terrific din. Vie then notic
ed that there was nearly a total eclispe of
the moon, and upon consulting an Eng
lish almanac we found that it would be
"invisible at Greenwich, but a total
eclipse in Australia and somo parts of
Asia." The tumult increased, and soon
the whole population seemed to have
assembled on the house-tops, armed
with pots, pans, and kitchen utensils,
which they beat with a tremendous clat
ter, at the same time screaming and
howling at the top of their voices. Fre
quent reports of guns and pistols added
to the turmoil, which was kept up for
nearly an hour, until they had succeed
ed in frightening away the Jin, or evil
spirit, who had caught hold of the moon.
It was a most amusing scene, although
it interferred seriously with the success
of our dinner. Our own servants
caught the excitement, and deserted the
table without ceremony. Our hosttold
us the next day that they well-nigh
knocked the bottoms out from all his
kitchen utensils. It was, however, a
complete success, and when our ser
vants returned to their duty, the moon
was shining brightly as ever, and upon
their faces was an air of complacent sat
isfaction. Scribner.
Chilprkn's Stockings. The ques
tion of short socks instead of stockings
for children is, says a physician, I am
glad to see, being noticed; and I trust
the result will be that the custom of con
fining children's limbs in hot, and es
pecially in dark-colored stockings, will,
at least in summer, give way before the
pretty fashion now almost universal
in France, Italy, Belgium and Holland
of keeping boys and girls, especially
the latter, in socks. As a medical man,
I am convinced that, provided a child
is healthy, and otherwise warmly and
suitably clad, it is all the better at any
time of the year, for having its limbs
exposed. In summer thei-e is no doubt
about it. There is no finer health-giving
agent than fresh, warm air and
bright sunshine. Children carnot have
too much of either. Their limbs ought
to be bathed in both. Those who see
our little people wading on the seashore,
delighting to paddle for hours in the
waves, their scanty clothing tucked up
charmingly, know that children are
never so happy as when their arms and
legs are bare and free.
Declensions and Conjugations.
Miss S , an American heiress and
quite beautiful, has been exciting much
admiration in London during the pres
ent season, and is about to marry, it is
said, the son of a nobleman connected
with tho royal household. American
heiresses are by no means shunned
abroad; quite the contrary, for they are
generally as well educated and in every
way as presentauio as tiieir foreign sis
ters, and do not accept the first impe
cunious scion of nobility that has a
coronet about him. Some vears a"o
the daughter of an American minister
in London was much sought after by
patrician youngsters. She was one day
discovered writing letters, and observed,
X am writing my declensions. This
London is a good enough place for flir

A Sweet Youth. The Allen town
(Penn.) Register exposes a youner man
in this remorseless way: "A mischiev
ous quack in Altoona City, Pennsylva
nia, advised a young man with more
hair than brains to use molasses water,
the theory being that after the water
evaporated the rebellions locks would
coalesce and keep in place. He made
his toilet of a Sunday morning, and,
taking a prominent pew, concentrated
tho attention, of all the flies in the
church, much to the relief and edifica
tion of the congregation. After strik
ing wildly about and damaging a palm
leaf in undue vehemence, he made a
break for the door, with the flies swarm
ing about his poll."

How it Came About It is pretty-
well known that during Wm. H. Van
derbilt's youth his father, the Commo
dore, had very little confidence in his
sagacity or business ability. Against
the advice of some of his friends, he
persistently declined the young man s
co-operation, because he thought him
"stupid." A story is current on Staten
Island which goes to show how the
Commodore's eyes came to be opened
to the mistake into which he had allow
ed himself to fall concerning the eldest
boy. "William owned a farm near his
father's, and findiug that it required fer
tilization, ha applied to hira for some
manure.
" How much do you want?" inquired
the Commodore.
" Oh, about, a load." was the reply
" Certainly I can spave that," was the
reply.
When the Commodore visited the
place tho next week, he found that his
yards and stables were swept clean of
the erreat heaps of eonmost he had al
lowed to accumulate.
"Why, how is this?" he said to h
farmer.
"Your son came and got it," was the
answer, 'lie said you
mission."
gave mm pcr-
The Commodore went fuming to Wil
liam, and said iu a bustling way, "See
here, young man, what have you been
about; how dared you to cart off all my
manure?"
"You said I could havo it." was the
rejoinder. "You told me to take a
load."
" A load! why, you have got every bit
there is."
" I only took a load, father a sloop
load."
Tho old man's eyes were opened, and
he concluded to give his son a "slice"
of stock to operate with, and soon after
made him Vice President of the Cen
tral road.
A Narrow EstwrE. About eleven
jo 'clock yesterday forenoon, a man walk
ed up and down Griswold street for a
few minutes, carefully scrutinizing the
exterior of the several banks, and final
ly entered one of them and deposited
thirteen dollars. It was his verv first
dealings with a bank, and his hat slant
ed over a trifle more than usual when he
came out. About aquarter after twelve,
finding that he could deposit two or
three dollars more and Btill make his
purchases, the man came down town
again. The bank was closed, accord
ing to custom, and the usual sigh of
"Bank Shut" hung against the glass.
As the farmer pushed on the door he
saw the sign, aud he was only ten sec
onds growing as pale as death. As he
made another attempt to open the door
a boy cume along and called out:
"You can't get in there--she's shut
up!"
"Took my thirteen dollars and then
busted!" gasped the depositor, and he
backed oft and looked at the 6ign.
" She'll- be open again at two o'clock,"
said the boy as he passed along.
"I doubt it I doubt it!" muttered
the man as ho wiped off the perspira
tion, "but I'll wait and see."
He sat down on tho steps, knees weak
and chin trembling, and he didn't move
an inch till two o'clock. When the
bank opened lie -walked in, presented
his certificate of deposit and said:
" I'll be a thousand times obleeged if
vou'd let me draw out my thirteen dol
lars." It was handed out, and the man
braced up instantaneously. Counting
the money over twice, he put he bills
in his wallet, walked out, snd as he
reached the walk he paid:
"That's the closest escape I ever had
in mv life, and I won't make a fool of
myself again."
As you are kind and gentle toward
one another, be so likewise towards all
God's creatures, and instead of their
shrinking and trembling in affright
when you approach them, they will soon
manifest for von a verv pleasing1 affec
tion; and even the tiniest insects, if you
would but carefully watch them, would
teach you lessons of patient industry

That the public appreciate his efforts in this re

although it is scarcely possible that he could

Tilt: FIRE
One of the exhibits at the Pavilion,
r.eec s I'atent Compound t ire Ixtinguisht'r, is
the only known compound which fights fire with
lire. It is tlie invention of a Uerman chemist,
is a dry, solid mass put up in boxes varying from
ti vo to thirty pounds in weight, reached by a fuse
from the outside, which can be instantaneously
ignited by a match, burning coal or cigar, and
when thrown into a burning room or any place
wholly or partially confined will almost instan
lieously and with absolute certainly extinguish
the flames. A nunioer of the J.uropcan tatate
and municipal authorities and private corpora
tions have adopied it and make its use compul
sory, i.n infinite number of public and private
tests nave oeen maue ; stieus have Deen erected
and smeared on the inside with tar and oil, tubs
of coal oil, benzine, turpentine and like combus
tibles placed inside and all set on tire, and when
the entire inside has become aliving mass of tire
a box of the compound has b en thrown in. and
in a very few seconds the fire has been totally
extinguished, leaving considerable quantities of
on unconsumeu. oonieof its advantages are as
follows : Its portability, twenty pounds beintr
sufficient to totally extinguish a fire confined in
a room of 0O0O cubic net, and smaller or larger
luantitits in the same proportion. It will ex
tinguish fires which water will not. such as burn
ing coal oil, turpentine, spirits, ttc. It is abso
lutely harmless in its action, the gases generated
in its combustion injuring not even the most
delicate fabric. It does not explode, burns
gradually, is thoroughly clean in its action, will
preserve its efficiency for many years in anv cli-

So unanimous is the opinion of all vis
itors at the Fair that the superb colored crayon
portraits and oilier photographs included in I.
W. Tabor & Jo. s magmheent display are ot
more artistio value to say nothing of their
many striking beauties than tho collections of
paintings in the art gallery proper, that the pho
tographic department of the Pavilion is now the
center ol attraction, labor s present collection
of portraits is without doubt the linest ever
made on mis coast, me uinereni siyies oi imu-
tography being better represented than ever be
fore. No person should visit tho Fair without
seeing the display, and tho next thing to do is to
get likenesses taken attiie losemita Art iiier,
