The AfIri hted Oysterm an.

One of the best things we have heard
of for some time, happened lately. A
Yankee Schoolmaster, who had been al

feast himself for week on oysters. Be-

on a plan, he div.d into the celia, OF a
Frenchman, where, after taking glass OF
beer and complaining Of his i'll health, he
asked what he would charge to open him
as many oysters as he could eat. After eye
ing his lank customer, Frenchy said he
would give him rs many as he could swai-
low for twenty y.five cents. Agreed, cried
the Yankee, aud to work goes Monsieur.
One hundred were gulped down in no

Go on, says the teacher. Away went the

that ravenous stomach, together with n
basket Of crackers, and all the pepper and

following dialogue took place
