WHAT WAS HE?-A jolly young
fellow named Corcoran, when he
arrived in this country, some years
since. propounded a puzzle to a grltf
old clerk in the New York City Hall,
which is believed to have shortened
that officials days. COrcoran went
mp to the office for his first papers.
The deputy was a serious old chap,
who, without looking up, proceeded
to put the formal interrogatories
"What 5 your name?' he demanded.
. John Corcoran. ''Your age? ?"
Twenty-one." what nativity?"
Well, that s what bothers me ; II
tell you, and may be you can make
it out. My father was Irish, my
mother English, and was born on
a Dutch brig, under the French
flag, in Flemish waters. Now, how
is. it!' The old clerk looked up
aghast, showed his spectacles on his
brow, and slowly made answer:
" Young man, your nativity and that
of our Saviour are the only ones
which ever puzzled me"

THE M0RRIsvILLE MYSTERY.

coroner's jury have inquired into the crcum-
stances attending the death Of the woman Palmer,
late housekeeper to Mr.. severns, In Morrisve. and
returned verdict that she died through having
knowingly taken poison. Mr. severns concluded
to give up housekeeping, and finding that Mrs.
Palmer was sick he left her the few, articles
OF furniture that were found In the
house. She was found dead IN the
house, and the medical testimony proved
that her grief was great and that her sickness was
in consequence Of mental depression. She had
three children, two OF whom are In the "Home,n -
and the Thought that she had no home, with
trouble that was forthcoming through her inais-
Greet conduct, made her weary Of life, which she
quilted by taking laudanum. She had not been
long in Morrsville, and little appears to be known
OF her except that shebrooded over her troubles.
which led her 10 c0mmtt suicide.
