CALLS FAIR IN POLITICS.

In recent trial of a libel suit in New York
against M. M. Noah, editor of the National
Advocate, it was proved that at the time when
politics run high between Bucktails and Gin
tonians, Noah (the Champion of the formerly
offered 10 some of the leading Clintonians, for
the loan of $1,000 to be secured by bond and
mortgage, to abandon the Bucktail cause, to
give up the Advocate, and secretly to write
for his late adversares. After some consulta-
ton, his proposition was rejected. The Advo-
cate is now engaged tooth and nail, in support

The Disappointed Painter.-Zeuxis,
was an ancient Grecian Painter, who liv-
ed about 400 years before our Saviour
brought painting TO great perfection,
He growing very rich, would at last sell
none of his works, but gave them d.
way, saying, he did not knosv ho,o to set
a price upon them equal to their value He
painted a bunch of grapes so to the
life, that the birds came and pecked
them, and afterwards having painted a
boy holding a bunch of grapes, which
the birds also flew to and pecked, he
was angry and ingenuously confessed
that his work was not complete, in that
if he had drawn the boy as well as he
had the grapes, the birds would have
been afraid of him. And having dispu-
ted with Parrlnsi,.s, which was the best
painter, Pdrrhasius painted curtain so
-ingehiously, that Zeuris taking it for a
real one which hid the antagonists work,
desired that it might be drawn, that he
might see what he had done; but COM
ing to know his mistake, he acknowledge
ed he was outdone since himself had de-
ceived none but birds, but Pnrrhasius
had deceived even the master OF the art
itself.

\ Fool-hardy erploits.-St. Alkmund's

foC its handsome spire il is said to have

the daughter of king ATfred--the body

His fool-hard

came from St. Adams. His fool-hard
feats are still in the mouths of the inhaf
itants. Gu Saturday, the 22nd of Fet
ruary, he climbed up the spire to tn
top, and brought down the weather
cock, notwithstanding lis size and weigh,
were such that he could with difficulty
hold it. On the Sd of March he climb,
ed up again and put the weathercock
in its former place, turning it aboui
several times, standing upright on the
iron cross, and shaking both his hands
and legs. In the following week he
climbed up, taking with him drum,
and long bow and arrow he stood
upright on the cross, beat the drum.
and shot an arrow from the bow. On
the 18th of March, he again went up,
shook his arms and legs, and continued
hallooing and shouting there for more
than two hours. In every one of these
exploits, the man was in a state of in
toxication. A similar occurrence is re-
corded of St Mary's church in the same
city. In 1889 the weathercock was
blown on one side, when a person by
the name of Cadman engaged 10 take it
down, which he soon after did, and then
replaced it. This man was an adven-
turer of "a different description from the
Lefore mentioned. He fixed a rope
from the top of the spire, to tree in a
field on the opposite side of the river,
and TO various other places; and for a
few times sided from thence without
injury; but on Candlemas day, in the
same year, after beating drum, and
firing pistols, &c. he attempted to slide
down the rope across the river, but it
broke soon after he trusted his weight
upon it, and he was consequently killed.
He was buried on the same day, the Cd
of February, 1889, at the foot of the
steeple, y plain slab fixed on the wall
with a quaint inscription. A man in Or
