As LONG As IT'S BRom).---Charlie (reading) : " The
thermometer registered 12 decrrees below zero Centigrade."
Tom (drily) : " That is not Fahrenheit." Charlie (more
drily) : " No ; but it is very-far-in-cold."

another, where the Germans ha' got a awful lickin' !"

A CLERICAL ERROR.—Too long a sermon.
In future, it would seem, the Newcastle coals must be
well "screened " to pass by the Prussian pirates.

A GOOD JOB TOO. —A statement has been made in the
papers to the effect that though the forthcoming royal
marriage is very popular iu this country, " Strange to say
there are whisperings of objection made—not in England,
but at a certain foreign court, whose right to murmur in
the matter few among us would be disposed to admit."
Very few, Judy would think. Whatever courting there
may be this time, our cousins-Berman will certainly have
nothing to do with.

The Royal Arsenal at Wcolwicli was inspected on
Wednesday by Admiral A. Popoff, of the Imperial navy
of Russia, from St. Petersburg, who was attended
by Lieutenant A. Morainoff, belonging to the same
service.

THE LATE Mr. MUNRO.—The death of Mr.
Alexander Munro, the sculptor, and son-in-law of Mr.
Carruthers, of Inverness, has caused a profound feeling of
sorrow in the large circle of his literary and artistic
friends: He had been ill for several years, and his life
almost despaired of more than once • but last summer he
seemed to rally, and it was hoped hei was really growing
stronger. He will be remembered not only for the grace
and refinement of his works, but for his genial nature and
the many fine qualities which endeared him to a host of
friends.

SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND NEWSPAPERS PER HOUR.
—The Americans are ever busy inventing new machinery
to meet the constantly increasing demands of the march
of intelligence and civilization in their country. In the
matter of newspapers this is particularly the case, and
just now we hear of the firm of Messrs. Hoe and Co.
being busy about a new printing machine for news-
papers, which is to be equal to the production of
75,000 copies per hour. It is said that the order
will be executed in two or three months.—Manchester
Courier.

A MEETING OF "THE ANCIENTS."--011 old
Hogmonay night an interesting festive meeting took
place at Aberfeldy. The feasters were seven in number.
They are all next-door neighbours, and their ages
are 75, 77, 79, 82, 85, 86, and 89. Two are bache-
lors, four are widowers, one has enjoyed the sweets of
wedlock for sixty years, and his better half is 88 years of
age. In their younger days this remarkable couple
crossed the Atlantic twice together, and the " auld
gudeman," says our informant, "is still sound in the
lungs, able and willing to sing a good song in either Eng-
lish or Gaelic. He is hale and hearty, fit to light a lamp,
sweep a street, or clean a gutter so as to defy the sanitary
' bogies,' high or low' to find fault with him." It Is
