Oddly Addressed Letter& A number of years aro a post letter ar- rived in Edinburgh, audressed in.forei {n handwriting to °` M. `%spits, Edw. bourg." An no .. special directions- were given, the post office officials were at ` a loss to understand'who this M. Totnpits could be. As far' as known there was no such a person in the town. At length, by pondering over' the matter, and"judg- ing from the sound of this exttaordiaary name,it wasdiscoveredthat the letter was intended for our old and esteemed friend, Mr. Thomas Potts, ordinarily and jocul- arly called Tom 'otts=alas, now deceas- ed, etered, but remembered for the: geniality of his character. The letter ,was fro%a foreigner to Whom he had shown some kindness, but who had understood his name to be simply Tompits,; It is men- tioned tha4 something of the same kind once took place regardinga letter which arrived by post in Lonon, directed to "Sromfridevi, Angleterre.'rThere Was no such person as Sromfridevi ever heard of; but on a little consideration, and judging from sound it was obvious that the foreign writer of the letter meant Sir Humphrey Davey ; and this proved to be the case. Following the example of the English General Posit Office, the French Administration des Postes maintain a staff of " blind clerks "—that is to Say caligraphic experts who are supposed to be able to decipher the most illegible handwriting, and to -deduce sense and meaning flout the apparently hopeless chaos of orthographical blunders. ' Some years since there was 4returned to . the French Dead Letter Mee an epistle which bad gone the round of every sea- port in the levant `and the ambiguity of whose superscription had baffled a ;le- gion of oatmasters. It was addressed "J. Dubois, 'Sultan Crete." , Now, what could this mean? The suzerain of the Island of Crete is the Sultan of Turkey, but His Majesty's name is Certainly more lik Abdul Asiz than J. Dubois. Five out of the six blind clerks in the`.R,tie Jean Jacques Rousseau ° confessed their entire inability to solve the mystery of Dubois, who, on the face of the envelope at least was proclaimed a Cretan Sultan. But to the sixth of the band of experts there suddenly occurred a happy inspira- t -on. " Fetch me a Navvy ILK" ka said to a subordinate. The Aitnucaire de lit Marine was brought. The expert looked up Sultan, but alas 1 there was no ship bearing that name in the French navy stationed at Crete or anywhere else. The wary cryptographer cogitated for -a time, still turning over the pages of the. Navy List. At length he -rose triumphant to the occasion. "I have it," he cried ; this letter s addressed to J. Dubois, Este le Traiterede," and to M. Dubois, who was a quartermaster on board the good ship Trancrede, on the Pacific station,the letter was duly forwarded. The missive was from the quartermaster's brother, whose education, so far as regarded spel- ling, had seemingly been of a strictly phonetic nature, and who had written down his relative's address, mit in accord - vice with the commonly receivedoc- trines of orthography, but just as Ithe. words had sounded to his ear."—Ulcrt- ber 8' J(.nh/•hall, Absurdity of'High-Heeled Bo ts. Woman is not in the habit of takin the advice so freely offered her in a kindly spirit by man. She listens apparently to all he says as to the inconvenience and extravagance of her dress and of its• prej- whaled effect on her health, but pays no attention to his warnings and resol- utely follows the path of her own inclin- ations, even though it l'.ads to the work- house or the grave, with that firmness h h charming char- return tnai . o acteristics.

If ercise is often as dangerous as it is bene- ficial, woman can hardly fail to see the absurdity of her hick -heeled boots. It is quite impossible for her to walk with any ease, comfort, or safety to herself in these instruments of torture, which, by throw- ing her out of the perpendicular, give her the appearance of the.leaning tower of Pisa, and produce an impression on spec- tators that she may at any moment;top- ple over. Her boots, also, are far too thin for walking purposes, and it was only very recently that an inquest was held on the body of a young lady who, owing to a nail piercing the sole of, her boot, received`such au injury to the, foot that she died of tock -jaw. Woman, more• over, now that she takes so active a part in the business of life and is almost , ubi- quitous, requires to be strongly if not ponderously shod, so that when necefsity_ arises she may hold her own with man, returning kick for kick with that fascin- ating -but foolish creature.

R IAND BLIND FACTORY _ In connection with a paragraph which appeared recently, intimating the death of the late Mr. Andeew Dawson, manu- facturer, we have received some interest- ing information, The following are the particulars of this case', as communicated by an esteemed. correspondent : In 1828, blankets and plaidings were then the sta- ple trade of the village. The late James Harrower, who built the clreenfield. mill, was then engaged in thiSi occupation. At the adjoining corner of his' workshop stood the old village inn, bept by Mr. David Syme, father of your worthy old Doctor Syme of Alloa. Opposite this inn - stood the old Parish School, on the same site now occupied by the flourishing Johnstone Arms Hotel. In the old inn thus described were assembled for their " Meridian " a few of the worthy then manufacturers of Alva—a custom, by the way, which is still very much kept, up by many of their sucassors. A pass- ing machine from Stirling then halted for refreshments: One of the accupants was a lady, who wore a, " Meg Meriless " tartan shawl, which had been woven at' Ban- nockburn, then the first place in ' Scot- land which had only lately begun thirst trade. , With a keen and intelligent eya to business, the future men of Alva saW the prize within reach. Mr. Robert Harrower, son of james Harrower, step- ped gallantly up to the machine, and beg- ged. tha favor of a look at the neiv shawl, which was at once heartily given. Step- ping inside to the room of the old " pub- lic," this lady took off the shawl, laid it upon the table, and allowed a minute ex- amination to be made. Mr. Harrower at once copied the pattern, and in a few days the first shawl web was beamed in the old shop -and thus, A beginning made. of an important branch of the trade, which has helped the village to fame and. to fortune. Another curious:instance still hangs about this matter.
