KELSO—ANGLLN•G 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-
nesdity the Tweed had so far decreased as to allow of an-
gling with some success. Ou the Markerston water, three
fish Were caught, one of which gave Mr. Malcolm, yr., of
Poltallocb, 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 the water was rather full for sal-
mon angling. In the Teviot during the week, two pikes,
fish very rarely caught in this district, were landed—ono
by Mr. Johnston and the other by Mr. Train. The former
weighed 411 b and the latter 71b. On Thursday night there
were several very heavy showers of rain, which brought
the Tweed down in flood, and it will be Monday, with fair
breather, before angling can be pursued With success. A
goodly number of fish have reached the upper waters. —The
s'' mum%

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. The unfortunate alien, who could not
speak a word of English, still tendered the smaller coin.
" One, two, throe, four—Four," cried the 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 went on for about five minutes, in
the presence of a 'busful of people, who wanted to settle
their own little accounts, and enter the building. "He
don't understand nothing," groaned the conductor, when
his store of abuse was utterly exhausted, " Will any lady
or gentleman be so good as to oblige mo with the French
for a blessed fool?"

ELECTION EXPENSES.—The expenses incurred by
Viscount Royston, M.P., in securing unopposed re-election
for the county of Cambridgeshire in July were £9l. Of
this amount, .Cll referred to official charges, and £25 to
