A SuREwp Enron At q Welsh cele
bration in New York, DR.. Jones told the
following amusing anecdote:
The speaker said the editors were like
other shrewd men who have to live with
their eyes and ears open. He. related the
story ofan editor who started paper at a
new village in the West. The town was
infested by gamblers, whose presence was a
source of annoyance to the citizens, who
told the editor if he did not come out
against them they would not patronize his
paper. lie replied that he would give
them a "smasher" the next day. Sure
enough the next issue contained the prom
ised "smasher;" on The following morn
ing, the rcdouhtable editor, with scissors in
hand, was seated in his sanctum, cutting
out news, when in walked q large man with
a club in his hand, and demanded to know
if the editor was. in. mo, sir" was the
reply, 'he has stepped out; take seat
and read the papers: he will return in a
minute Down sat the indignant man of
cards, crossed his legs, with his club be-
tween them, and commenced reading a pa
per. In the meantime the editor very
quietly yamoosed down stairs, and at THE
landing below he met another excited man,
with cudgel in his hand, who asked If the
editor was in. "Yes, sir" was the prompt
response, "you will find him up stairs read
ing the papers, The latter, on entering
the room with furious oath, commenced
a violent assault upon the former which
was resisted with equal ferocity. The fight
was continued until they had both rolled
to the foot ofthe stairs and had pounded
each other to their hearts content.

Two RATS "TIaHr" wIru WH1sKEY.-
Two rats were recently trapped in,Virgin-
ia, and it was decided to try the effects Of
whiskey upon them. Forty drops were ad-
ministered to each by force, and the result
awaited. They were placed in wide,
deep box, into which some gravel had been
thrown. A saucer Of whiskey was placed
therein. For awhile all was silent, each
rat having seated himself in a corner,
where he remained as morose as rat could
be. By and by, however, the liquor began
to work. The rats began to mile, and
play with their tails; then to Jump up, and
squeak; then to fall down aud roll over
Finally one of them found the saucer, and,
with the peculiar curiosity attaching to the
race, dipped his nose into it. He drank,
and the noise of his drinking brought his
companion to his side. They drank as
though they were really fond Of the stuff,
and, it is estimated, took more than twice
forty drops. And now they got glorious
They kissed each other. They wrestled
and played about. They revisited the
saucer, and got mad over it; aud rough
and tumble fight ensucd, which lasted until
both were exhausted. There they remained
for awhile, each with paw to his nose,
grinhing at the other. Finally, both fell
asleep, and while they were glorioqsly un-
conscious, terrier was dropped before
them, and the curtain falls.

site, and several other tenements were des-
troyed.
1t appears that some of Mr.; Shimakers
workmen were engaged in the yard attached
to his shop in burning a tire off D wagon

teer review was great success. 1t was the
Prince aud Pnnccss's first visit to Brigh-
ton, and the turnout Of the pretty town
was immense and enthusiastic. The organ
ization Of the force is now SO perfect that
the volunteer staff corps can undertake to
assemble at any place in the kingdom, in
thirty hours, 10000 troops, $4,000 horses,
100 cannon, and il fieldworks were reqair-
