He was once attending general Washington to a place dis- tant from the camp….Riding on, he arrived at the house where they were to dine, sometime before the rest of the company. He went di- rectly to the kitchen demanding something to eat; when the cook, taking him for a servant, told him she would give him some victuals in a moment….but he must help her off with the pot. This he complied with and sat down to some cold meat which she placed before him on the dresser. The girl was remarkably inquisitive about the guests who were coming, particularly of Lee, who she said she heard was one of the oddest and ugliest men in the world. In a few moments she desired the general again to assist her in plac- ing on the pot, and scarcely had he finished, when she requested him to * This city is in long.

The miracles performed by this female saint are, according to the legend of the faithful, very numerous, and amount to upwards of 300. Lately, the wife of a wine- merchant, whose favourite saint she always had been, experienced the effects of her prayers and presents, by being delivered at once of three strong healthy boys, after a mar- riage of 18 years, during which she never before had a child. Her hus- band, in gratitude, has presented this saint with a rich diamond cross; and there is not a wife or a husband in that part of Italy, who desire the sterility of their beds to cease, who does not address prayers and offer sacrifices to her shrine. It is said that three convents, possessing for a long time saints famous for the same qualities, intend to bring suits at Rome against this member of the Paradise, as an intruder or interlo- per, their convents being entir... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-10547.xml Mon, 01 Oct 1804 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-07248a.xml IT is well known that the votaries of the Roman religion deem them- selves in possession of every thing belonging to the person, family, and household of the Saviour. Every article of his clothing and lodging, the house in which he was born, the cup out of which is infancy was fed, and even drops, or rather quarts, of his blood, are preserved in Euro- pean churches. As curious a relio as any, however, was la chemise de la vierge, which was preserved, in the city of Chartres, in the ninth century. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-07248a.xml Sun, 01 Jul 1804 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-10546.xml THE following incidents will amuse the observer of national man- ners, and of the delicate links by which the destinies of men hang to- gether.

Have compassion on the errors and blindness of these my brethren, and let not any thought of their hearts be gratified, for all the good things they ask for would prove unto them vanity and vexation of spirit. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1804-06175.xml Fri, 01 Jun 1804 12:00:00 GMT
