KELSO—ANGLING IN THE TWEED AND TEVIOT.—
The frequent showers which have fallen during the week
have had the effect of keeping the rivers in a swollen state.
On account of the comparative dryness of the weather on
Sunday and Monday, the waters subsided considerably,
but on Tuesday they again came down in flood. On Wed-
nesday the Tweed had so far decreased as to allow of an-
gling with some success. On the Markerston water, three
fish were caught, one of which gave Mr. Malcolm, yr., of
Poltalloch, an exciting run of three minutes, and when
landed was found to be a new run salmon of 33ilb weight
On Thursday, Sir Richard Jeffson, in the Sprouston water,
killed a bull-trout ; but tho water was rather full for sal-
mon angling. In the Teviot during the week, two pikes,
fish very rarely caught iu this district, were landed—one
by Mr. Johnston and the other by Mr. Train. The former
weighed 4ilb and the latter 71b. On Thursday night there
were several very heavy showers of rain, whieji brought
the Tweed down iu flood, and it will be Monday, with fair
Weather, before angling can be pursued with success. A
goodly number of fish have reached the upper waters. —The
&AI tracts.

STREET HUMOUR.—During the period of the
Great Exhibition at Kensington the omnibuses in
that district increased their fares from threepence to four-
pence. A Frenchman, unacquainted with the change in
the tariff, proffered a threepenny piece in payment for the
journey. "Fourpence, mosso," answered the conductor,
wagging his head. Tho unfortunate alien, who could not
speak a word of English, still tendered the smaller coin.
" One, two, three, four—Four," cried tho other, counting
the numbers on his fingers, and roaring at the top of his
voice, as though that would render him more intelligible.
"Four, four !" This wont on for about five minutes, in
the presence of a 'busful of people, who wanted to settle
their own little accounts, and enter tho building. "Ile
don't understand nothing," groaned the conductor, when
his store of abuse was utterly exhausted, " Will any lady
or gentleman bo so good as to oblige me with the French
for a blessed fool?"_

For the forthcoming exhibition at Paris next year
a distinct order of reward of a novel character, con-
sisting of ten prizes of £4OO each, has been an-
nounced by the Imperial Commission, and British
competitors for these rewards are to send in their
claims on or before the Ist of November next, in
order that, if the claims appear suitable, they niay
be transmitted to the International Jury, which it
is announced will meet on the Ist of December,
1866. These rewards are "in favour of the per-
sons, establishments, or localities which, by a special
-organisation, or special institutions, have developed
a spirit of harmony among all those co-operating in
the same work, and have provided for the material,
moral, and intellectual wellbeing of the workmen."
Besides these rewards there are 20 " honourable
mentions." Moreover, one grand prize of 100,000 f.
(£4,000) in addition, will be awarded to the person,
establishment, or locality distinguished under this
head by a very exceptional superiority. Three
jurors are assigned to the United Kingdom, and
theirnames will be shortly announced.
