VERY COOP INDEED.-The following rich
joke is related of the eccentric Lord Fairfax,
who was Swedenborgian:
''He was once crossing the Potomac, at Al
exandria, in ferry boat, and, during his pas
sage, the ferryman heard him muttering to
himself and talking with the air of one who
was carrying on a conversation with others !;
curiosity prompted the man to ask an expIana-
ton of his singular proceedings whereupon
Lord Fairfax, with great poiteness and sereni-
ty, replied that he was 'conversing with Peter
and Paul
Upon reaching the bank, he offered the fer
ryman the amount demanded of a single pas
senger, but that worthy demurred. AS Peter
and Paul had been in the boat, he said that il
was no more than right that his Lordship
should pay for his friends, inasmuch as cir
cumstances did not permit him 1.-THE ferryman)
to demand of those gentlemen what they owed
him. To this facetious view Fairfax readily
assentsd no doubt it pleased his eccentric
taste, ofwhich species of grim humor was a
marked characteristic. Hepaid for Peter and
Paul, his friends"

MAKING THE BEST OF IT.-A Yankee went
out walking, in Virginia. at Wheeling, while
to himself a talking, experienced feeling
very strange, painful, and alarmin', from his
caput to his knees he suddenly discovered he
was covered DER with bees They rested on
his eyelids, and perched upon his nose; they
cOlonized his peaked face, and swarmed upon
his clothes. They explored his swelling nos
trils, dove deep into his ears; they crawled
upon his "trowsers," and filed his eyes with
tears Did he yell like hyena did he hol-
Ter like loon? Was he scarf? Did he "cut
and run, or did the critter swoon? Meier a
one. He wasn't scarf a mite he never swoons
or hollers but he hived them in a nail-keg
tight, and sold them for two dollars
