The Fashionable Resort of Hongkong, OPEN TWICE DAILY:
the stories of "Historical Oddities and Strange If you wish to meet a friend between the hours Events which Mr. Baring Gould has brought out. Among other mysteries which he tries to clear up is the disappearance of Benjamin Bat- WOODYEAR'S ROYAL AUSTRALIAN hurst, in the early part of the century, the man who was supposed to have been secretly mur dered by order of the First Napoleon, Bathurst was a relative of Earl Bathurst, and was seat on a secret mission to the Austrian Court at Vienna. After the Austrian troops crossed the frontler in April 1810, Bathurst learned that Napoleón sus- pected him of having tried to bring about the declaration of war; and on being ordered to return to England' shortly aftewards, he started in disguise.
On Nov. 15, 1869, about midday, be arrived at Perleberg, with post-horses, on the route from Berlin to Hamburg, halted at the post-house for refreshments, and ordered fresh horses to be barnessed to the carriage for the Journey to Lenxon, which was the next station. Benjamin Bathurst went to the Swan and ordered an early dinner; the horses were not to be put in till he bad dined. He wore a pair of grep trousers, à grey frogged short coal, and over it a handsome sable great coat lined with violet velvet. On his head was a fur cap to match. In his scarf was' a diamond pin of some value. As soon as he had finished his meal, Bathurst inquired who was in command ofthe soldiers quartered inthetown, and where he lodged. He was told that a squadron
of the Brandenburg cuirassiers was there under Captain Klitzing, who was residing in a house behind the Town Hall. Mr. Bathurst then. crossed the market-placeand called on the officer, who was at the time indisposed with a swollen neck To Captain Klitzing he said that he was a traveller on his way to Hamburg, that he had strong and well-grounded suspicions that his person was endangered, and he requested that he might be given a guard in the inn where he was staying. A lady who was present noticed that he seemed profoundly agitated, that he trembled as though ague-stricken, and was unable to raisen cup of tea that was offered him to his lips without spilling it. The captain laughed at his fears, bat consented to let him have a couple of soldiers,, and gave the requisite orders for their despatch; then Mr. Rathurst rase, resumed his sablé over- coat, and, to account for his nervous difficulty in getting into his furs again, explained that he was much shaken by something that had alarmed him. Not long after the arrival of Mr. Bathurst at the Swan, two Jewish merchants arrived from Lenzen with post-horses and left before nightfall. On Mr. Bathurst's return to the inn be countermanded the horses; he said he would not start all night. He ronsidered that it would be safer for him to spin along the dangerous portion of the route by night, when Napoleon's spies would be less likely to be on the alert. He remained in the inn writing and burning papers. At seven o'clock he dis- missed the soldiers on guard and ordered the horses to hercady by nine. He stood outside the inn watching his partmanteau, which had been taken within, being replaced on the carringe, stepped round to the head of the borses-and was never seen again. The English Govern ment offered 1,000 reward and his family another 1,000/., Prince Frederick of Prussia, who took a lively interest in the matter, offered in addition 100 Fredericks d'or for the discovery of the body or for information which might lead to
the bolution of the mystery; but no information to be depended upon ever transpired.
Mr. Baring Gould seems to think that Elizabeth Chudleigh, Countess of Bristol and Duchess of Kingston, who was tried for bigamy in 1776 by her peers, has been rather hardly treated by historians. Some of the stories told of her, he says, are certainly true; but those which he is compelled to accept are scarcely to her credit. In 1749 (Mr. Baring Gould willes) Elizabeth attended a masquerade ball in the dress, or rather undress, of the character of Iphigenia. It was of her that the witty remark 'was then first made
· that she resembleď Eve in that she was 'naked and not ashamed." On May 17 Walpole writes: -I told you we were to have another man- querade; there was one by the King's com- mand for Miss Chudleigh, the maid of honour, with whom our gracious monarch has a mind to believe himself in love, so much in love, that at one of the booths he gave her a fairing for her watob, which cost him five-and-thirty guineas, actually disbursed out of his privy purse, and not charged, on the Civil List. I hope some future Hallushed or Speed will acquaint posterity that Eve-and-thirty guineas were an immense sum in those days,"

The whole story (says Mr. Baring Gould) of Prince Hohenlohe's sudden blaze into fame and speedy extinction is both curious and instructive, In the Baden village of Wittighausen, at the beginning of this century, lived a peasant named Martin Michel, owning a farm, and in fairly
* prosperous circumstances. His age, according to one authority was fifty, to another sixty-seven, when he became acquainted with Prince Hohenlohe. This peasant was unquestionably ||| a devout, gulleless man. He had been afflicted when a youth by a rupture, but, in answer to coní tinuous and earnest prayer, he asserted that he had been completely healed. Then, for some while he prayed over other afflicted persons and it was rumoured that he hid effected several miraculous cures. The Government speedily interfered, and Michel was forbidden by the police to work any inore miracles. By some menna be met Prince Alexander Hohenlohe, and the prince was interested and excited by what the 37th December, 1889, at 3 O'CLOCK in the
