A TALE OF MY LANDLORD.—" I don't care for
the town," said J. Mellows, when I complimented
him on the sanitary advantages it may or may not possess.
"I wish I had never seen the tow" "
I" You ddon'Melt beows.long
pe

" Belong to it reatel
"If I didn't belong to a better style of town than this, I'd
take and drown myself in a pail." It then occurred to me
that Mellows, having so little to do, was habitually thrown
back on his internal resources—by which I mean the Dol-
phin's cellar. " What we want," said Mellows, pulling off
his hat, and making as if he emptied it of the last load of
Disgust that had exuded from his brain, before he put it on
again for another load, " what we want is a Branch. The
Petition for the Branch Bill is in the coffee-room. Would
you put your name to it ? Every little helps." I found the
document in question stretched out flat on the coffee-room
table by the aid of certain weights from the kitchen, and I
gave it the additional weight of my uncommercial signature.
To the best of my belief, I bound myself to the modest
statement that universal traffic, happiness, prosperity, and
civilisation, together with unbounded national triumph in
competition with the foreigner, would infallibly flow from
the Branch. Having achioved this constitutional feat, I
asked Mr. Mellows it he could grace my dinner with a pint
of good wine ? Mr. Mellows thus replied, " It I coulde' t give
you a pint of good wine, I'd—there—l'd take and drown

THE TRUE THEORY OF ADVERTISING.—Ad vertis
ing always reminds me of a roulette table. I stake
my money on the odd numbers, and my neighbour on the
even. If I win be loses, if I lose he wins; but, in either case,
the bank—which, in the present instance, is represented by
the press—gains its commission. And there are other
resemblances between the game of advertising and that of
the green baize tables. If yuu must gamble, the first rule
is—Go in heavily, and play high. In that event, yull may
wins great "coup ;" but it you go on with peddling stakes
and a cautious system, you are absolutely certain to lose.
So, if you must resort to puff advertising—advertise, every..
where and anywhere, to the utmost of your means, or your
credit, and you will end in the House of Lords or—in the
Gaeta. But if you trifle, with advertising, you will lose
your money without a doubt. As the majority of mankind
have not the courage to play a bold game in any pursuit, it
is certain that, as a rule, advertisers make small veptures,
and waste their substance foolishly,—Once a Week.

Robert Dilke, foreman to Mr. Henderson, said that on
Monday morning the prisoner came to the stables and said
he wanted two saddle horses—one for himself and one for
his brother—to go to the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, and
that they were to be sent to 17, Blomfield-teirace, Padding-
ton, at 10 o'clock, where his father resides. He returned,
however, about 9 o'clock, and mounted one of the horses,
and wanted to take the other with him, but he (witness) re-
fused to let him have it, and sent a man with him. The
prisoner took the man to the Strand on some excuse, and
told him to go back and tell him (witness) that he would
ride home one horse himself, but before doing so he changed
horses, taking the most valuable one. He, however, never
came back with the horse.
The man sent with the prisoner by the lest witness said
that the prisoner, on sending him back with one horse,
told him that he would ride the other back himself, first
Laving changed• horses, and then said he should go to
Sydenham by himself, but that if he did not he would re-
turn wish the horse soon, but that if he went to Sydenham
he would return to the yard at six o'clock.
Thomas Jones, 274 D, said yesterday afternoon he went
to Willesden, and in the evening, after searching for the
prisoner, found him in a pleasure boat on the canal. He
also ascertained that the prisoner had been there the day
before with two horses, which he had been letting out in
cheap rides to the school 3hildren at Willisden. On inquiry
at the livery stables he (Jones) found that prisoner had had
about 20 horses from different persons—sometimes out for
four hours and sometimes for five. On searching his room
he found a number of spurs and whips.
Mr. Tyrwhitt inquired of the first witness the value of the
horse taken from Mr. Henderson, and the witness Dilke
said it was £BO.
Jones said he also found that the prisoner yesterday
bought a pound of sherbet and gave it to a man almost a
stranger, and on asking the prisoner how he could have got
to town without any money, he said that he should have
ridden the horse along the towing path of the canal, and

thus have avoided the toll gates.
The uncle of the prisoner stepped into the witness-box,
and on Mr. Tyrwhitt asking him whether he wished to say
anything of the prisoner, he replied, "Nothing in his

favour, sir."
Mr. Tyrwhitt told the uncle the prisoner would be re-
manded for a week, when it is believed several other charges
will be preferred.

• M ARYLE B ONE.
CRUELLY WORKING A HORSE.—ThOIIIaS Norman, a
carman, was charged before Mr. Yardley, at the instance
of Mr. W. Love, chid officer of the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with the following
cruelty to a horse :
James Rutherford, one of the society's officers, said that
he was in the Hampstead-road and saw prisoner in charge
of a waggon containing a ton and a half of coal, having
only one horse in it. Whilst under the railway bridge,
and just before reaching the canal bridge, whichhas a very
steep ascent, he lashed the horse mustbrutally, in order to
make him " take the bridge" with such a heavy load. The
animal made a dead stop, utterly unable to proceed any
further. Witness remonstrated with him on his cruelty,
and on looking at the horse he found whip marks under the
belly and on the most tender parts. There was matter
oozing from wounds on the shoulders and other parts.
Mr. Yardley, who had seen the horse, said it was in a
most wre ched state.

Frederick Hubbard, coal-dealer, of 3, Ratlabone-place,
Oxford-street, the owner of the horse, said he was not
aware it was in so bad a state. _

Mr. Yardley—Nonsense, sir; don't stand there and tell
me that. I never saw a horse more sensitive in my life.
It is impossible to touch the poor beast without its
showing pain all over its body. It is a scandalous shame,
and 1 shall fine the prisoner 10s. and in default of payment
seven days hard labour in the House of Correction, and,
Rutherford, if the master does not pay the fine take a hum-
mons out against him for sending a horse out in such a
state.

The master paid the floe, and said he would have the
horse destroyed.

TAKEN IN AND DONE FOR.LA poor man, named
Weaver, came betore Mr. Partridge and stated that he pur-
chased the duplicate of a chain, which
was represented to
be gold, of an acquaintance, and redeemed it. He had
since taken it to Mr. Carpenter, a very respectable pawn-
broker, in the Cannon-street-road, St. George-in-the-East,
who said the chain was only silver, and electro-plated with
gold on the surface. He gave 3s. for the duplicate. The
chain was in pawn for V 165., and it cost him in all three
guineas. He believed it was only worth a few shillings.
Mr. Partridge—l cannot help you at all. You have
made a vary bad bargain indeed.
Applicant— I have indeed, sir; I have been taken in and
done for.
Mr. Partridge—l should think that chain is only worth
a few shillings.
A pawnbroker's assistant in court said the utmost value
of the electro plated silver chain was 15s.
The applicant said he was very much surprised that any
pawnbroker should lend 668. on a chain only worth 15s.
Mr. Partridge—lt does seem very strange, indeed. I
cannot help you, but if the person who sold you the dnpli-
cate is worth powder and shet you can proceed against him
in the County Court. I have so jurisdiction in the case.

THE NATURE PRINTING PROCESS i 8 thus briefly
described by a writer in the London Review:—Between a
folded sheet of paper, well covered with printer's ink, the
leaf or seaweed is placed, and the folded paper and its con-
tents then are placed in one of the little wooden presses
between soft leathers and rolled with a wooden roller. All
the ribs, veins, and prominences of the leaf are thus inked
over. Now, if the inked leaf be placed on paper and rolled
in the same manner, it yields of course an impression of
iteelf, and gives an imprint of its finest parts,
