Some years ago, a famous English actress, having been disengaged for some time, had packed her wardrobe in pepper, to preserve it from moths. She was called upon to take the part of the queen in “Hamlet.” Being rather late for her first scene, she omitted to shake out her royal robes, and her dig- nified entrance had an astonishing ef- fect. The king, after a brave resis- tance, gave vent to a mighty sneeze that well-nigh made the stage vibrate.

Lieut, Fauntleroy, of Simm’s Con- federate States battery, hada confirmed habit of stammering. One. day, during the retreat from Camp Disland, Louis- iana, while riding along the road he came up with a stragler from the St. Mary cannoneers who, it seems, was similarly affectedin his speech. Him the lieutenant accosted in his peculiar vernacular. ““H-h-h-o-o-w f-t-f-a—r is the a-r-r-r-t ‘t-illery ahead ?” : “T)-d-d-darn -f-fi kn-n-n-ow,” stam- mered the boy. In a rage the lieutenant: out with his sword and was about to go for the offender, when the soldier held up both hands, crying, “H-h-o-00-ld on,.,1., lieu- tenant, I-I-I-s--wear I c-c-ant talk a d-d-darn bit b-b-b-etter than you can.” —Southern Bivouac.
