double shuttle line. Leslie's limitations
of Dutch, French and Yankee speech,
IN rehearsal of the opening lines oil
Richard One Hundred and Eleven, were
very amusing. The Stump Speech was
full of local hits, that are characterized
by entire good nature-not liable to
hur, any mentioned persons feelings,
but rather to provoke most laughter
from the subject or object of the ssllies.

The north pole is as far from the south
pole, as the south pole is from the north
pole" The stump lecturer incidentally

run the Sutro Tunnel that the world
was discovered by Robinson Crusoe aud

McMeaus should not go into partnership
with DR.. Hitler, il il was desirable; in
quired why George |. Lammou, as Pres
ident of the Virginia Board of Alder
