DRAMATIC DEATHS.
What is a dramatic death ?’ asks the Boston Journal. Of course, the most dramatic death ever recorded, it answers, was that of Placut, who dropped dead while paying a bill. Then there was the death of Fabius, who was choked by a hair in some milk ; that of Louis VI , who met his doom because a pig ran under his horse and caused him to stumble; that of Saufeius, who was poisoned by the albumen in a soft-boiled egg, and that of Zeuxis, who died from laughter at sight of a hag he had painted.
