A story Ja told of a poor soldier having one day called at. the shop of a l.aii dresser Svlio vcs busy with his customers, -aiul ask cd relief, stating that he had sieved beyond his 1 eavc of absence, and unless he could get a lift on the coach, fatigue and severe punishment awaited him. The hairdresser listened to bis story respectfully, and gave him a guinea “ God I less you sir !” exclaimed the soldier, adoni-b----,ed at the amount. “How can 1 repay you? I have nothing in the world hut t his ’’—pulling out a dirty, piece of paper from his pocket, “it is the’heat that was ever seen ; many a half-guinea I have had I f or it from the officers, and many !> tiles I j have sold ; may you be able to get something for it to repay for'"yonr kindness to the poor soldier.” Oddly enough that dirty piece of paper proved worth half a million of money to the hairdresser. It was'no less than the receipt for the famous Day and Martin’s blacking, the hairdresser being the late weal hy Mr. Day, whose manufactory is yet one of the notabilities of the metropolis. Paris h.is lost another celebrity, one Femorns, whose skill in the manufacture of monstrosities must have often made Barnmn envious. Fermorus .fust tried his apprenticejhand on beasts and succeeded in concocting no end of two-headed cows, five legged birds, horned rats, ann such harm less wonders, which went the rounds of all the fairs for many years. These, however, at length got stale and unprofitable. Modem eivilisationdemandedsomething more attractive, so Femorus turned his cunning tothe human race itself. In ISC4 he was sentenced to live ycais’ imprisonment for tryingto implant the wings of a swan in He tails of a child two yiais old, with the object of making a second c npid ! On leaving the prison he commenced business by manufacturing all sorts of “ natural curiosities,” too ugly to specify in anatomical museums, hut the demand not being equal to tin supply, he was forced to brush up his ingenuity once more. T-utit time he at once resolved to operate on himself, and ho attempted to engraft the cs mb of a cock—a Gallic one, of course—on his own head. It was doomed to he his last wonder. The engrafting resulted in abscess, from which ho never recovered.
