In Search of q Retail Store.

"A green appearing genius, on his first visit
to Boston, observed a sign over a store thus
" Wholesale and Retail Store" lie worked
his way through the crowd of ladies until he
faced one of the clerks, who was exhibiting
some article to a young lady, when he broke
out:
"Say, Mister, who's boss here ?"
"Thc proprietor has just stepped out, SIR
"Wcll, is this a retailing store 2"
eyes, Sir"
"Guess you understand your trade"
ooh, yes" replied tao clerk, wrapping
up a bundle for his lady customer, "what
can | do for you z"
We'll, as the cold is coming on, I thought
l mought as well come and give you a job"
II don't understand you sir" replied the
clerk, who begun to think the fellow had got
into the wrong box"
"Zactly SO; we'll III tell you"
"lixplain what you mean, my friend" said
the clerk, as he saw him produce a bundle
from under his coat.
''Well, as | said before, the cold wcathcr's
coming on, and l thought J might as we'll be
fiSin' for it. Como mighty near ~frcczin'
t'othcr winter, tell you l did but"
81 hope you will tell nc what you want,
so may serve you"
"Ccrtainly, Squire, certainly; I always do
business in a hurry; and just as quick as the
old master will let you 1 want you to retail
these old shirts-lct 'em come down about tho
knees, kase | don't wear drawers"
The effect can be imagined, but, as the
novelist say, can'tbc described.
Tho loud burst Of laughter which followed,
served to convince the poor fellow that he had
committed himself, and his long legs were
soon put in motion for the door.
GENTLEMAN rcmalking in a tavern that
he had shot a hawk at ninety yards with No
6. shot, another replied:
"Must have a good gun, but Uncle Dave
horc has one that beats it,"
"AhV p said the first, chow far will it kill
a hawk with No. 6 shot"
81 don't use shot or ball cithcr,' answered
Uncle Davo himself.
"Thcn what do you use, Uncle Dave s"

FROM the date OF the above To the year 1850
mere is no record Of the occurrence of these
Phenomena, other than the fact that light aud

On the 26th Of November, 1852. eleven distinct
SHOCKS OF earthquake were felt over the entire
country east and south of San Luis Obispo to
San Diego and the Colorado river, covering a
line of about three hundred miles square, SUB.

anu Australia, extending Into the month of
February.
Fifteen shocks were recorded in 1853 only one
OF which was telt at San Francisco alone. yyhils
none were heavy. The number IA. 1854 was
twelve. One occurred at San Francisco October
20, which caused vessels at the wnaryes TO work
heavily,on their hs swsers. Twelve shocks were

San Francisco, which disturbed the waters i'm

ceFemOnials that would be more fitting at the

importance that the navy should
have the best surgical and engineering talent

best men belonging to these corps will not
consent to remain in the service unless they
are assured against being treated as If they
belonged to an inferior order of beings be-
cause they cannot show diplomas from the
Naval Academy at Annapolis. The surgeons
