QUESTION AND ANSWER.—A contemporary records
the odd replies forwarded by some of the depositors in
the Royal British Bank to the circulars sent out request-
ing the "name, residence, and description" (meaning
occupation) of each depositor, with the amount of claim
and the composition which would be accepted. One
gentleman, it appear:, lives iu "railway carriages, but
has a friend in London whose address is —" In the
column headed " Description" we have the following
replies :—" Nothing particular." "lam a maiden
" fair but muscular. Out of health, and pot
likely to be better for receipt of your circular." "rive
"
.seven." " Dark, of gentlemanly appearance."
" Aged 21, rather corpulent. I am surprised at such.

a question." Among the answers to the question,
What composition would be accepted ? it is reported
the following were read amid much laughter:—" What
composition do-you mean 7"" I don't want any composi-
tion rubbish ! I want my money."
THE MAGISTRATE AND THE MONKEY. —There is a
god although I fear rather apocryphal story told in
connection with the Aberdeen harbour. 'When the
trade to the West Indies was first opened up, it is said
that the magistrates of Aberdeen were tempted to
try their fortune in what promised to be such a lucra,,
tire business, and sent a vessel out there on specula-.
UM. The many anxious gazers from the Castle-bill
for the arrival of
.the " shippie " were at length re-
warded, and when safely moored in the " harborie," the
civic dignitaries paid it a visit. After having exhausted
the occidental wonders which had been brought hoale,
the provost and baillies retired to the cabin to par-
take of the skipper's good cheer. While thus en-
gaged, a monkey, which was part of the importations,
amused with the tie of the provost's wig, honoured, it
with an occasional pull, much to the good old man's
an-
noyance. "Odd, laddie," he would ray aside, "Ye
better be qniet." " What's the matter wit h you, provost?,
said the captain, overhearing one of the chief magigtriq;
rentoustrances. " It's that laddie o' yours," was
reply. " What laddie, provost ?" Thagt sue erie,td a
