The State Register defends itself by in
sisting that it published the Crescent City
Waterworks bill as matter of news. We
have no doubt that was the suggestion that
obtained the consent of the editor. And
yet this mental reservation was not strong
enough to destroy the legal effect Of the
publication. The Register is, or rather
was, one of the papers authorized by law
to promulgate acts of the General Assem-
bly,, and the mere act of printing the bill
in question, with the names of the attest
ing officers, gave it a sort of sanction with
the public which, probably, neither of the
editors Of the Register desired it should
obtain. We are well aware, from a close
reading Of our excellent contemporary for
a long time, that fraud of every kind is
hateful to it, and can not believe that
such a notorious swindle as the one in
question could have escaped the proverbial
vigilance of the management. We did
not intend to make any insinuations
against the Register, as, from a pretty
thorough knowledge of the transaction,
we have never felt that it deserved CEN
sure for improper motives in this or any
other case that we can recall to mind at
present.

How he Got Over.

In Scotland they have narrow, open
bitches they call sheep-drains. A man was
riding donkey one day across sheep pas
ture, and when Mr.. Donkey came to
sheep-drain he would not 60 over it, So
the man rode him back short distance,
and turned him around, and put the whip
to him, thinking of course that the donkey
going so fast, would jump the drain before
he ever knew it. But not SO. On they
came, ahd when the donkey got to the
drain he stopped all of sudden, and the
man went over Mr.. Donkey's head. No
sooner had he touched the ground than he
got up, and looking Mr.. Donkey straight
in the face, he said, every weel pitched,
but then how are ye going to get over yer
sel'?'

A Cheap Shave.


One day last week stout fellow, with a
beard like shoe-brush, went into the bar
Der shop of Mansfield & Button, Exchange
ST., Rochester, and took q chair for shave.
One Of the young men in attendance wal
ted upon him promptly, gave him close
shave, and put him in first-rate order to
make decent appearance in the streets.
When the process was complete and the
stranger was ready to depart, he made an
inspection Of his pockets and finally found
q cent which he handed to the boy in pay
ment for the service he had performed. II
was politely informed that the price of
shaving was a sixpence. The man replied
very cody, 81 know it, and that pointing
to the cent? only lacks five cents of it You
amt agoing to stand for half dime9'
There was no appeal from this. All the
people in the shop, customers included,
were convulsed with laughter at the i'm
pudence of the fellow, but his gravity was
unshaken. He took his hat and departed,
calculating, no doubt, that he had driven a
good bargain with the barber, and was
soon casting about for another chance to
save half dime.

tB-A man travelling, entered tavern
and seeing no one present but the landlord
and negro, seated himself, and entered
into conversation with the negro. Shortly,
he asked Sambo if he was dry? Sambo
said he was. Stranger told him to go to
the bar, and take something at his ex-
pense. Negro did so, and shortly left.
Landlord says to the stranger:
fare you acquainted with that niger ?"
"No, never saw him before but why do
you ask ?"
"I supposed so from your conversing
with him, and asking him to drink"
"Oh," said the stranger, 81 was expert

negro in fifteen minutes, would venture
to take drink myself"

Didn't Give IL lin.

One of our citizens is blessed, or other
wise, with very stubborn wife. In his
case he finds that when a woman will she
will, you may depend ont and when she
won't she won't an that's an end ont. The
popularity of disposition in his wife is no
secret among his associates and one of them
meeting him the other day asked;
Well, do you know why you are
like donkey?"
"Like donkeyp' echoed W, OPEN
ing his eyes wide. "No DON'T"
"Doyou give it up?"
"I do"
"Because your better half is stubborn
ness itself.'
That's not bad. Ha ha I'll give that
to my wife when go home"
"Mrs. W." he asked as he sat down
to supper, edo you know why I am like a
donkey?"
He waited a moment, expecting his wife
to give it up, but she didn't, she looked at
him somewhat commiseratingly as she
answered.:

So"
W has abjured the habit of putting
conundrums to his wife.
