Margaret Vergh Gryllith was a Welsh woman; the wife of a David Owyn, but, like several married women in Scotland at that time, went by her father's surname in preference to that of her husband's. In the former part of her life she acted in the capacity of a school mistress.

At fifty years of age she was married, and on that day, immediately after coming from church, a mental derangement took place from which she never wholly recovered. What is very remarkable, a horn sprang within the last year from one side of her forehead and grew in a crooked form to the length of nearly six inches, Another also made its appearance but its growth was stopped. It is extremely probable she came to London to be exhibited as a powerful pheno-physicians advised her to spend the winters at menon, as a tract was issued bearing her name and describing her as a "myraculous and mong trous by yet most true and certayne discourse of a woman, in the midst of whose forehead, by the wonderful works of God, there groweth dut a horn of ten inches long."

Francis Battalia, a Roman youth, who died when thirty years old, was born with two stones in one hand and one in the other.

He refused pap when born, but being given a little stone in drink, swallowed it down rapidly, Then, when he began to want hard meat, the physicians advised the nurse to get some small pebbles, which he made away with. His manner was to put three or four in a spoon and swallow them, drinking a glass of beer after. He devoured about half a peck of these stones every day, and when he clinked upon his stomach or bhook his body you could hear the stones rattle as in a sack. These, with beer and tobacco, were his sole subsistence. Every three weeks he voided a lot of sand, after which he was hungry again for more stones.

It was difficult to believe, looking at the small, modest figure, that once it had stood far up on the pinnacle of theatrical celebrity, and all the gay world, bad, was signailed by a veiled Turkish lady in bowed low before its beauty.

A LYRIC QUEEN.

For the little woman with the range on her face and the blonde wig was Lydia Thompsoni. Lydia Thompson, whose name has come down In this generation as a synonym for bewilder ing loveliness and entrancing grace. Lydia Thompson, who, when her feet first pressed American soil twenty years ago, sent such a wave of admiration over the land that every man's eyes turned to gaze upon her and the fair-tressed beauties by whom she wassurrounded; and half the women of the country set about bleaching their hair, and blonde locks and peroxide of hydrogen took such a bound upward in the market that they've never came down in price since. It was, indeed, Lydia Thompson, by gone "queen of the bouffe stage," who lifted the blonde style of beauty from obloquy into that of the reigning type of fushion from which dark-treased beauties have not been able to evict it to this day, and have been necessitated to stand beside it and acknow ledge its equality ever since.

At 11 o'clock one night the Austrian heard a carriage rattle into the yard at breakneck speed, and a minute later his servant appeared, accom panied by an elegantly attired eunuch, who said his master, Kiami!

He was driven at a rapid pace to the seraglio, and, seeing resistance was useless, was soon a prisoner in the Swiss chalet of the unfortunate Goll The eunuch administered
