minutes afterwards he suddenly entered. and found their
offering for sale a gold tongue-scraper with carnelian ends, a
silver shoe-horn, and two valuable ear-drops brilliantly set
with diamonds. He questioned them as to the way they be.

tory account, and contradicted themselves. The pelmet

smiery, denominated the Operative MIMS' Institution,
yesterday appeared before H. K. Dtrita, Tisq. to show MON

why he refused to reinstate a member. The Complains .
bed been a member for upwards of eleven years, and in su::
sequence of being in arrears was expelled.
The steward produced the articles, which were framed
many years since, by which he showed that Compis:nene
ejection was in conformity with the rules.
The Applicant did not deny that his expulsion was ac.
mew to .the old rules produced; but aid that they had
only bean adhered to in his individual case. The society
bad acted on another plan entirely, and if the arrears w'
paid up the parties were always reinstated. They had d,.

beim traded unfairly.
DYza was of opinion that affairs of this /law,
should be conducted with strict impartiality ; but the use

" I wish I was your fiddle," (to be always, we suppose, oa

Two KINDS OF TENDER.—Mr. Garrow was
once croes.examining an old woman, who was witness M a

had made a fair tender to the opposite party, which had been
refused, but was not able to get it out of her ; on which
Mr. Jekyl wrote on a slip of paper, and threw across to
°arrow, these neat lines :

LAUGHABLE INCIDIINT.—,SOIIIO time ago, a
wandering dealer in stoneware, alias a pigman, thought meet
to exhibit for sale at the cross of a neighbouring town, a
goodly assortment of his shining valuables. The hit
gba
of the dignitaries having occasion to walk that way, and ca.
sidering it beneath his dignity to " tak onie ither road but
the croon o' the causey," strode deliberately through the
brittle ware; and, as might have been expected, did de.
' mage thereto. In a twinkling, the man of bowls and basins
saluted his breech with a hearty kick, which made his he.
nour reel like a drunken ploughman on a handsel Monday
morning. Such a gross insult could not escape punishroem,
The court was quickly formed, and the brawny culpritplamd
at the bar. The case was easily proved, and as the aim
was of a reall heinous nature, the prisoner was sentenced to
y pay a fine of Is. " One shilling," exclaimed the incereigi.
ble I " Only one shilling for a kick at a Belle's --, dlep
tak me, there's twa for wither." Down went the money
on the table, and the next moment found his eminent
sprawling like a dying kitlin in the opposite coma of the
council.roan. No farther notice was taken of the pig.moD.
the court rightly considered that he had paid handsomely
for his whistle.—Perthshire Journal.

CVILIOUS HABlT.—Every evening, while I re-
mained in Whoa, 1 spent half an hotir in the Swiss Coffee.
Mae, the only one in the town, and, are evening, I wu
much sauteed by a very curious scene I witnessed there.
Four gentlemen were seated at 'a eard-table when I entered
the coffeehouse, and, at first,l paid no pa dealer attention
to them; but. accidentally resting my eye apes them while
sipping my coffee, I was sutprised to see one of the playas
shut one eye, and, at the same time, thrust his tongue out
of his mouth ; from him my eyes wandered usanedimotho,
at the same moment, squinted with both eyes, and thrust
forward his under-lip. 1 now saw that ft was a amain
succession of fime.making, while all the while the game went
on. It is impossible to describe the strange. ludicrous, and
hideous facts of the players. I was, at first, dumb with
astonishment, and then convulsed with laughter, and all the
while dying with curiosity to know the reason of so grotesque
an exhibition, It was a Biscayan game ailed mats; an-
swering to each card, there is a particular contaden of the
face, which interprets its value; and the point of the gam
consists in the dexterity with which partnes are able to can•
vey to each other, by grimaces, the state of ouch other's
hand. This is a favourite game in Biscay, but it is said to
require a lifetime to become expert in it. 1 should think it
requires, also, the natural gift of grimasee—iissefies Spats
