STORIES ABOCrXAWTEES. Sore Passages from Mr. JTeaOireson’s Booh. -We have* ‘already given some- account of. Mf.;;Jeaffreson’s-VBook, about Law> yers,” just 'published in TEnglandpbut the following additional anecdotes are . readable: JEFFREYS AND THE FIDDLER. “Though Jeffreys delighted in music, • he does not sbem to have held ' it 3 pro fessors in higfresteem.aoln the time of Charles 11. musical artist of the humbler grades liked to be styled ‘.musitioners; ’ and on : was sitting as Recorder for the city of Lon don, George Jeffreys was greatly in censed hy-a w itnesswho, in-a- pompous voice, called himself a musitioner. With a sneer, the: interposed-^ 1 A musitioner! I thought 'you were a fid-" filer ” ‘I am a musitioner,’ the violinist answered stoutly. ‘Oh, indeed!’-croaked Jeffreys: . ‘This is very important— hijffily important—exfremely import ant!. And pray, Mr. Witness, what is the difference between a musitioner and a fiddler?’ ; With a fortunate readiness the -man- answered, ‘As much, sir, as there is between a pair of bagpipes and a recorder.’ ” , ' BARON 1 PLATT’S TRANCE. “Of eminent iawyers who were steady port, wine drinkers, Baron Piatt—the amiable and popular judge who died in 1862, aged seventy-two, years—may be; regarded as one df the last; Of him it is recorded that ..in early manhood he was so completely prostrated by severe illness that beholders judged him to be actually dead. - Standing over-his silent- body shortly before the arrival of the under taker, two of his friends concurred id' giving utterance to'the sentiment— I 'Ah,' poor dear fellow, we shall never drink’ a glass of wine lwitb him' again;’ when.to' their momentary alarm and subsequent is still alive. The story may be told; but the great man’s name must be held secret. Many years, since ,the law yer lost an aged aiiht, whose will re quired her body to be interred in a dis tant part of the country. Like a dutiful nephew, and in a manner becoming his aunt’s .executor, the young barrister,, together with other gentlemen (closely connected - with. the deceased lady, by Wood or business), journeyed from Lon don to the place of sepulture. The hearse •containing the embalmed body had been sent forward, and the mounters folio wed it at an interval of a few days’ journey. The first day was very tedious; and as several days would'follow it ere the place of interment could be reached, the nephew, on the second morning of the dolorous expedition, proposed to his companions in grief that they should have' a rubber. He had cards in his pocket, and at the next roadside inn they could get a board that would serve them for a table. , “The suggestion was unanimously •adopted; and throughout the remainder -of the com for flesh-progress, the mourn -era played steadily with complete ‘in difference to the scenery which sur rounded them, and with. that superb de motion to ‘the game, which character-! izedwhiet players halfaeenturysince. Under the circumstances the mourners •progressed as favorably as could, be ex pected.’ Their spirits rose; much money changed hands; and when the four gen tlemen stood in theold lady’smausoleum, the two who had won were sustained by an enlivening sense Of-Worldly pros perity. and the two who hadlbst thirsted for revenge on the homeward journey. Unfortunately, however, certain local gossips of the puritanical district where the old lady was buried, -Jiad either seen the mourners at whist or heard how they amused themselves. The story passed from mouth to mouth, and reached. London almost as soon as .the melancholy whist players. Of course, in London the story lived, and year. 3 after-, wards, when the nephew had risen to eminence in politics and law,people were told at dinner-parties how the great THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.—PHILADELPHIA, EBIDAY.
