A very .interesting autograph letter of David Garrick, referring to his part of Richard 111 at Goodman's Fields, in which- he first made his reputation, was sold by auction in London on July 17. Tho great actor wrote: "I supposo you must have heard by this time of my playing King Richard at Goodman's Fields, and suppose you are apprehensive. I design to continue on yo stage. You must know that since I havo been in business (the wino trade, I mean) I have run out almost half my fortune, and though to this day 1 don't owe anything, yet yo terriblo prospect of running it all out made me think of something to redeem it. My mind led.mo to yo Stage, which from being very young I found myself very much inclining to, and- have been very unhappy that I could, not como upon it before. The only thing that' gives me pain upon yo occasion is that my Friends 1 supposo will look very cool upon mo." Old Mrs. Hugg was quite a bore, She'd hug you if you'd mot before; She hugged her husband and hor son, Sho hugged poor Fido just for fun. She caught a oold and this she hugged, With poison both hor lungs wero drugged; And then sho hugged Woods' Great Peppermint Cure, The wisest hug she hugged I'm sure. , " —Advt.
