DISTINCTIVE TRAITs.-A dispute arose be-
tween three noblemen, one Irish, one Scotch,
and the other English, as to the distinctive
traits of their respective countrymen. A
wager was laid that the Irish were the wit
tiest, the Scotch the most cunning, and the
English the most frank. They agreed to walk
out in the streets Of London, and the first
one of either nation met should be inquired
of as to what he would take to stand watch
all night in the tower of St. Paul's Church.
They soon met John Bull, whom they ac-
cos ell with
What will YOU take TO stand all night

g | shouldn't want to do it short Of gum
ea," frankly replied Mr.. Bull.
The next one accosted was Scotchman.
Sandy replied with his usual cunning
What will you give me 2
Last, but not least, Patrick was inquired
of as to what he would take to stand all
night in st. Paups tower.
To which Pat wittily answered-"An' sure
an think should take divil Of cowld.' .
The wager was won.

THE Political REFUGEES IN ENGLAND-
The English government has expelled from
the Isle of Jersey, Messrs. Ribeyrolles, Plan
cani, and Thomas, who were residing there
with Victor Hugo and Others, as political
refugees. They were editors and publishers
of French journal entitled bHomme, and
this is assigned as the reason for the proceed
ings against them. M. Gaillardet, in let
ter from Paris to the New York Courier des
Etats Unis says that Lord Pdlmerston has
resolved to demand from Parliament author
ity to expel these exiles from Great Britain,
and send them TO America; and he adds
that ere long Europe will have 10 place Of
refuge for such refugees.
The other exiles in Jersey, with Victor
Hugo at their head, have published a very
earnest and indignant protest against this
proceeding of the British government. They
say it shows that the French police is po-
tent in England that " the coup dctdt has
just made an entrance into Eng lands liber-

of their charges against Louis Napoleon, they

A person in Mobile has brought suit for
damages against shoemaker, for failing to
comply with a promise to have pair Of
boots made at IA specified time.
If the plaintiff obtains judgment in his
favor, this may lead to general prosecution
of all the boot-makers and talors in the
country. But they have little cause for
alarm. We predict verdict for the def-n-
dant, on the ground that it has been the
usage of his trade from time mmemorial to
be nmpunctual, and that the plaintiff had no
right TO expect the performance of the prom
