Was there ever a plainer wooer,

The ladies, the most lovely, and
aristocratic in the land, simply
mobbed the
"UGLY LAWYER,"
and were as proud to win a smile
from him as an offer of a coronet
from any other man.
When any one asked. "Where is
Brougham?' the invariable answer
was, "Whore the ladies are thiok-
est," And, sure enough, there he
was; and the more he repelled his
fair persecutors, the more they
clustered round him.
Another famous "lady killer"
was Jean Paul Marat, one ofthe
leading and most infamous figures
in the. French Revolution. 'Beyond
any question," wrote a contempor-
ary, "M. Marat is the ugliest man
it the whole of France -and ' not
merely ugly but positively repul-
sive in person, habits and man-
ners."
And yet in his early, years he was
beyond rivalry the most popular
physician in Paris. His consulting
rooms were crowded daily by the
loveliest women in the French ca-
pital, pushing and jostling to get a
word with or perhaps win a smile
from him. That he turned a. deaf
ear and cold shoulder to thein al-
lurements only stimulated their
ardor, until their attentions became
HO embarrassing, that at one time
he seriously meditated flight.
Even when he contracted a loath-
some skin disease while hiding in
the sewers of Paris; he was devoted-
ly nursed by one of the loveliest; of
his many admirers, whom he "mar-
ried one fine day in the presence of
the aur."
If possible a still` more repulsive
to
man was Potemkin, the former
pri-
vate soldier who enslaved the fancy
of Catherine the Great and by her
favor was made virtually Czar of
Russia.
DREADFUL AND REPULSIVE,
was the description of him by one
who knew him. "He has an un-
wieldy figure and knookknees, is
swarthy of skin, coarse in feature
and has lost one eye. He often.
passes whole days in his room half
dressed, uncombed, unwashed, bit-
ing his nails and scratching Isis un-
tidy head." And yet, says Dur-
and, "the Empress is quite crazy
over him, as is proved by her pas-
sionate letters, in which she ad-
dresses him as `my lord,' 'my king,'
'my inestimable treasure.''"
But perhaps the most remarkable
cf all these cases of woman's infat-
uation for ugly men was that of W.
Hamilton, a Sootohman,' of a cen-
tury and a half ago. Hamilton was
not only preternaturally ugly but
he was terribly deformed. "His
legs," we are told, "were drawn
un to his ears, his arms were twist-
ed backward, and almost every
member was out of joint."
In spite of these terrible physical
drawbacks Hamilton easily out-
stripped all the gallants in his die-
-ilia in the favor of the ladies. "He
might have married any of them for,
the asking -indeed, it is said sever-
al of them actually asked him,"
soya a chronicler. "But heremain-
ed prool against all their wiles un-
til after his eightieth birthday, and
then he married a girl of 20, him-
self being carried to the altar on
men's shoulders."

England, the beauty ire which she

The words, in the original, describe
Peter's authority as a teacher.
They may be assumed also to apply
to the other apostles, The Jewish
rabbis were authorized to permit
oertein things as lawful and to
teach certain things as orthodox.
So, whatever the apostles should
sanction in the faith and: morals of
the church would receive the in-

demnation of any practice or belief
would also meet with divine ap-

Having expressed his joy at their
confession, and outlined the part
they were to play in the church he

Of all the numerous Egyptian
papyri dating from the Greece -
Roman period and preserved in the
British Museum, none can be said
to be of greater interest than those
throwing light on the social condi-
tion" and manners and customs oft
the period. Many of these docu-
ments are mortgages, bills of sale
and marriage contracts, Of the
first named class a very interest -
;leg one, dated in the twentieth
year of Cleopatra and Ptolemy,
has recently been published by Dr.
Nathaniel Reich. It appears that
a shepherd, named Menthu and
his mother, Ta-usir, finding them-
selves in difficulties, mortgaged
their field to a woman named Ete,
far the sum of 600 pieces of silver,
which they promised to repay . in
eight months' time with interest. In
case of failure of this condition
they are willing to forfeit the field
without further trouble or obliga-
tion. After giving the measure-
ments of the land and, particulars
or its boundaries, the document is
attested by Hero-se-esi, scribe of
Usir-ur, alias Amenhotep.
