HAsTY LEGIsLATIoN.-In a debate the other
day in the Maine Legislature something wass said
upon the importance of expedition inlegislation,
to which John Holmes made the following reply:
He was not sure but the old maxim applied to
legislation as well as TO many other things, 'the
more haste the worse speed" remember (said
he) some examples Of hurry and preciptancy.
Last year a law was passed which provided
that all Acts should take effect certain number
Of days after they were published in the State
paper. This made the laws all depend upon
the Eastern Argus-the Eastern Argus the Law
Of the Land! I don't know how some gentle,
men may like that, probably very well; but it
don't exactly suit me. will mention another
instance. The town Of Boston was once much
afflicted by fires, and ii was thought by many
that they were set by the blacks. Accordingly
the Assembly Of the Province of Massachusetts
passed a law forbiddng any blacks to be seen
out of doors after dark, ",oithou q idntern."-
Upon this Cufee issues out equipped with his
lantern but no candle in it! At the next session,
it was enacted that there should always be a
candle in the lantern. Well, Sir, Cuff puts in
his candle according to law, but she no light
'em." Thus they were obliged to enact laws
three successive sessions before they could make
Cuff carry q lantern NTH a lighted candle in ii.

PARIS, December 9Th, 1884.

The Chambers were convened on the LIST inst.
under very exciting circumstances. The Min
listers individually, and the papers supposed to
speak their language, having previously an
nounced design to enter into full explanation
of their conduct to answer all interrogations
and place their continuance in office on the
question Of approval by the Chambers of their
measures.
This, as you will see by the papers, they have
frankly and explicitly done, and, after warm
debate oftwo days which has just closed, they
have gained decided victory. This gives them
confidence, permanence, and ] hope influence
enough to carry the treaty. shall now urge
the presentation ofthe law at as early day as
possible, and although do not yet feel very
certain of success, my hopes of it are ma
tural!y much increased by the vote of this
evening The conversations have had with
the King and with all the Ministers, convince
me that now they are perfectly in earnest and
united on the question, and that it will be urg-
ed with zeal and ability. Many of the Depu-
ties, toe with whom have entered into expia-
nations on the subject, seem now convinced
that the interest as well as the honor, of the ma
ton requires the fulfllment oftheir engagements.
This gives me hopes that the endeavors shall
continue to make without ceasing until the ques-
ton is decided, maybe successful

TRe Three Jolly HMs6Gnds.-Thrse Jolly husbands. out in the country, by the names off Tim Watson, Joe Brown, and BilI Walker, sat late one evening drinking at a village tavern, until being pretty well corned, they agreed that each one, on re- turning home, should do the first thing his rife told him. in default of which he should { the next morning pay the bill. They then separated for the night, engaging to meet again the next morning and give an honest account oftheir proceeding at home so far as they relatedto the payment 1.-the bill.
 The next morning, Walker and Brown were early at their posts but it was some time before Watson made his appearance. Walker began first.
 You see, when entered my house the candle was put, and as the fire gave but al glimmering of light, came near walking accidentally into pot of batter that the pancakes were to be made of this morning. My wife, who was dreadfully out of humor at sitting up so long, said to me, sarcastical- ly, " Do put yOur foot ie the batter r'- Just as you say, Maggy," said |; and thereupon, without the least hesitation. l set my foot in the pot ofbatter. and then went to bed."
 Next Joe Brown told his story. My wife, said he, $ had already retired to rest in our usual sleeping room which adjoins the kitchen, and the door of which was left ajar. Not being able to navigate perfect ly well you know, I made dreadful clat- tering among the household furniture and my wife, in no very pleasant tone, bawled out, "Do break the pOyridgcpOt, Joe 2"- No sooner said than done. I seized hold of the bail of the pot, and striking it against the chimney jam, broke it in hundred pieces. After this exploit. I retired to Eest, and got curtain lecture all night for my pains.'
 It was now Tim Watson's turn to give an account of himself; which he did, with a very long face, as follows. My wife gave me the most unlucky command in the world: for as was bfundering up stairs in the dark, she cried out, Do break your rotten neck, do, Tim !''-'I'Il be esd if do, Kate,' said l, as gathered myself up{ +1'll sooner pay the bill.' And SO, land- lord, here's the cash for you. This is the last time I'll ever risk five dollars on the commands of my wife. ."-N. Y. Trans.
