Found her Match.

NNHE cars were very crowded. An ele-
I, Il gantly dressed woman occupied an
entire seat Her bundles, band-box, and
bag were piled up artistically. She was
oblivious to the fact that passengers were
rushing back and forth to obtain sittings.
More than one gentleman drew himself up
before the imperious dame, and silently
plead for the vacant spot. She famed herself
leisurely, lolled in the seat, and evidently
thought that things were very comfortable
as they were,
is this seat occupied, madam ?'' said
we'll dressed man politely. "Yes it is"
was the swapping reply. The man walked
on. In half an hour the door opened, and
in walked tall, rough fellow, coarse as a
polar bear. His huge beard was uncombed
and stained with tobacco juice. His
clothes were lily put on, and smelled of the
stable. He was ungloved and brawny, and
weighed full 200. He ran his eye along
the car, and caught the seat on which our
lady was sitting. He made, for it. With
great deliberation he seized bundle, band
box and bag, put them plump in the lap of
the lady, and sat down in the vacant spot
like one who intended to stay, If looks
could have annihilated man, there would
have been a corpse in that car about that
time. The man seemed to be very much
at home. He whistled he spit he strok-
ed his beard he threw around his arms
chuckled inwardly at the evident rage of
the woman. She left the cars at New
Haven, and had hardly gone, before the
gentleman who was refused the seat re-
appeared. To some gentlemen who seemed
to take great interest in the proceedings,
he said
" Did you see how that woman treated
me P''
Eyes"
"Did you see how she was come up
with'P'
eyes"
"Well, that man is horse doctor that
sat down beside her. He belongs to Bulls
Head. I gave him dollar to ride with
that woman as far as she went" The car
roared.

Scottish Anecdotes.

RN a very entertaining work. entitled
IL "reminiscences Of Scottish Life and
Character" from the pen of Dean Ramsey,
we find the following humorous illustra-
tions
"Some years ago, when it was not an un-
common thing, even in Scotland, for chal-
lenges to be given and accepted for insults,
or supposed insults, an English gentleman
was entertaining party at Inverness with
an account of the wonders he had seen and
the deeds he had performed in India, from
whence he had lately arrived, He enlarged
particularly upon the size of the tigers he
had met with at different times in his trav-
els, and by way of corroborating his state
ments, assured the company that he had
shot one himself considerably above forty
feet long. A Scottish gentleman present,
who thought these narratives rather exceed
ed travellers allowed privileges, coolly
said that no doubt those were very remark
able tigers but that he could assure the
gentleman that were in that northern part
of the country some wonderful animals,
and as an example he cited the existance of
skate-fish captured of Thurso, exceeding
half-an-acre in extent The Englishman
saw this was intended as sarcasm against
his own story SO he left the room in in
dignation, and sent his friend to demand
satisfaction or an apology from the gentle
man who had, he thought, insulted him.
The narrator of the skate story coolly re-
piled, "Weel, sir, gin yer freend will take
few feet aft the length O. his tiger, we'll
see what can be dune about the breadth o.
the sxate.''
"The parishioners of a clergyman in Scot
land, in expressing to him their aversion to
the use of manuscript sermons, urged
what gars ye tax up your bit papers to
the pulpit ?" He replied that it was best,
for really he could not remember his SER
mon, and must have his paper. "Weel,
weel, minister, then dnna expect that we
can remember them.
GA late Duke of Athole had invited a
well-known character, writer of Perth,
to come up and meet him at Dunkeld fol
the transaction of some business. The
Duke mentioned the day and hour wher
he should receive the man of law, who
accordingly came punctually at the ap-
pointed time and place. But the Duke
had forgotten the appointment, and gone
to the hill, from which he could not return
for some hours. A Highlander present
described the Perth writer's indignation,
and his mode of showing it by a most elab.
crate course of swearing. "But whom die
he swear ate" was the inquiry made of the
narrator, who replied, ooh, he didni
sweerat any thing particular, but juis
stude in ia middle of ia road and swoor a
large"

rather than try to show superior knowledge
by using obscure ones. This fact Is show
by the following anecdote:

ster who displayed in the market mann
