, ANECDOTAGE FOR THE MONTHS. J ANUARY.—On the 27th, in 1859, the present German Emperor was born. Consequently he is thirty years old. So many anecdotes have been told of His Majesty, that it is difficult to find a new one. How- ever, it may be interesting to note hat the Emperor, about ten years go, when he was staying in Sydney, New South Wales, during his honeymoon, was presented by the German residents of that place with a musical box, which played only one tune. On learning this, he turned round, and smilingly observed to a courtier, “ This may be well called a musical box, as we can never visit it for a ehange of PUNCH’S ALMANACK FOR 1889.

Fepruary.—On the 18th of the month, the late CHARLES LAMB was born as long ago as 1775. Had he lived until now, he would have reached the ripe old age of 114, which would have certainly been a prolonged life for a Lamb, or, if it comes to that (to quote Dr. Jounson), for a sheep either. On the 9th (in 1567) DARNLEY was murdered, and just twenty years afterwards (on the 8th, in 1587) poor Mary, Queen of Scots, was beheaded. It is only just to the memory of Queen ELIZABETH, to assert that the cruel jest ascribed to Her Majesty that “she had cut off her cousin’s head to prove to air!” The German residents of « wij) any Gentleman go Sydney laughed at the witticism, (Outside to oblige a Lady?” but never forgave the sarcasm.

Marcu.—On the 3rd of the month, in 1848, Louis PuHILirre fied to England, where at first he was treated with some discourtesy. On learning that the name of his landing-place was Dover, he observed, **T am not surprised to find that this is Dover, as I do not admire its Folks’ tone!" As Louis PHILIPPE did not speak a word of English, this ingenious and agreeable sally is worthy of recollection. A CANVAS-BACKED Duckx.—The likeliest candidate to gain an election.

ANECDOTAGE FOR THE MONTHS May —On the 10th, in 1796, oocurred the Battle of Lodi, memorable for the only recorded attempt of NapoLeon BUONAPARTE at an English witticism. Referring to the use he made of his artillery. after the engagement, he said, “Good nameé for fighte? —fireé, fireé, after Lodi, Lodi!” Jon®.—On the 4th, in 1859, the Battle of Magenta was fought, and appropriately gave its name to a popular dye. On the 15th, in 1215 Magna Charta was sealed, when, according to Macavuay (in his unpublished MS.), King Jonny produced the wax. On the 18th the Battle of Waterloo was fought, in 1815, when WELLINGTON, meeting BLUCHER at the end of the engagement, is reported to have observed, My Lord, this will be a great day for our boots!

Om the 30th, in 1689, Derry was relieved, to the great surprise of WraadAM THe TuIRD, who, in his quaint Anglo-Dutch observed, with a emile, that “ at dirst he was Derryfied!” | Aucusr.—Onthe Ist, in 1798, the Baitle of the Nile was fought, | when NELSON produced (after years of patient preparation) his elebrated classical witticism. “ Can you tell me, my Lord,” said Lady Hamittoy,“ anything about your latest victory?’ “Oh, Madam,” returned the hero, “ it was just nothing. .4//i//—nothing —Nik /” Sepremper.—The |st is usually known as the feast of St. Partridge, ulthough itis really the féte day of St. Giles, and, equally popular, as once eportively observed by WILBERFORCE, the philanthropist and ester) of St. James. This is a great month with accountants, who devote an entire day to the Leger with arunning account. On the 20th the anniversary of the Battle of the Alma recalls the now half-forgotten d'esprit of the present head of the British Army. Pointing to the ifficers of the Guards, Lord RAGLAN observed, “ Our victory is attribu- table to their galjgmtry in a great degree,” “ A great degree ’”’ repeated H.R. with e . “certainly—this is meither Oxford nor Cambridge, and yet here is their Abna mater” OcTorerR.—On the léth, in 1834, the Houses of Parliament were | burnt, ending appropriately, however (as was observed by JosErn MILLER, wit and centenarian) in smoke. On the 20th, in 1875, the | Deanery of Chichester went off the (P.) Hook. On the 25th, the Battle |of Agincourt (or as it was anciently pronounced, A-gin-court) was fought, according to contemporary writers, most appropriately, with much spirit. On the same day, nearly four and a half centuries later, the Battle of Balaclava was contested, giving rise, as everyone knows, to a number of serious charges. 4 NoveMBER.—The 5th and the 9th have for the last three hundred years been devoted, in London, to the processions of Guys. At the Mansion House the reign of Lord Mayor WHITEHEAD will expire on the latter date, if, like a torpedo, he does not go off sooner, On the 28th, in 1814, the 7imes was first printed by vapour-worked machinery. .“ How is it going?” hiccoughed Lord Bynon, who took an interest in all literary matters. “Like steam,” replied the Archbishop of OasTER- BURY, as he assisted the noble bard to rise from the gutter. The remainder of the anecdotage for November is lost in fog. ; DEcEMBER.— On the 10th, in 1768, the Royal Academy of Painting was instituted, a date which may be given for the commencement of | the decay in the pavement pastel industry. Yule brings professional anecdotage to an end, as, at that joyous season of the year, everyone tells his own stories, the biggest of which is sometimes the wish that an objectionable acquaintance may enjoy “ A.
