4 few evenings ago, 8 gentleman engaged
in business, accompanied By his newly in
stalled clerk went to the lower landing to
indulge in the luxury Of a bath in the river.
Both prided themselves on their exPertness
a. swimmers, and tie clerk baEtersd his
employer for a rsce to the center Of the
stream Of they swan, the employer tax
ing the lead and keeping it. The clerk
gradually fell behind until considerable
distance separated them He then turned
his face TO the rear and struck cut
for the shore. The employer suspect
ing this doubling on his track meant
something serious, changed his course also,
and followed ss rapidly as possible. Before
he reached the bank, however, his eom-
panion had seized his clothes and made of
with them. He raised an alarm, and, strip
ped as he was for the fast time, sped IN chase.
By and By his cries attracted the attention
Of policeman, who also joined in the pur-
suit. After a splendid run, the thief was
o~verhsuled, and the clothing regsined.
The moral ofthis is-Be sure of your eom-
panion's honesty when you go q swimming.

The Earl of Winchelsea and Noting.
ham was summoned before q London
magistrate, on the LIST inst, for smoking
in a railway carriage. His lordship did
not appear in answer to the charge, but
sent the following spicy letter to the
Chairman Of the Railway Committee:
SIR demand the instant dismissal
OF the Station-msster, named After. at
your Vauxhal station, who has had the
etfrontery to apply for a summons Tin
VolVing q breach Of privilege against
me at the Wandworth bench, for
what he has the impudence to term
smoking, contrary to your bylaw. l
beg you to observe that 8 piece Of i'm.
pudence involves a breach Of the priv
ileges of the House of Lords, and that
you, the Chairman of the company,
shall be held responsible for it.
"wTECHELsEA AND NOTTINGHAM"
The London Daily News, comment
ing on the case, remarks. It will be in
teresting to see the chairman of the
Southwestern railway brought before
the House of Lords to answer for a
breach Of privilege which somebody
else has committed, and still mora so
to hear the Lord Chancellor inform him
that the right Of peers to smoke in rail
way carriages is part of the British
Constitution Il is to be hoped that
the noble Earl viii keep his word. The
advisers Of the railway company affect
to believe that there is no such priVi-
lege as he pretends, but that the laws
of railway travelling are equally bind,
ing on Lord Winchelsea and travellers
of common blood, and that his lord
ship must obey the magistrates sum-
mons. We shall see.
