''WhAt uamc, sir ?" said the clerk in az
tendance
"Watt." replied the applicant.
''WhAt name z" repeated the clerk in
still louder tone.
.E'Wat,, SIR"
''What naDe?" shouted the. clerk still
louder. growing red in :he face in his effort
Watt, sir, is my NAME COW shouted the
applicant, IN return
< ~ es, p responded the man of letters. put
ling IN all tho power of iuuga he possessed,
- k4Ssllt4ES like sdntens at the head
ofsasnea rsg.iiment-f.ty nat is your meme, sir2"
Yes / know it is, now screamed the
other red is6d excited ''Do you mean to
keep me yelling at Sou all day in this manner?
:Givs me my letters"
by this time two or three clerks inside the
window had come to the rescue of their com
rade aud small crowd had gathered round
the excited letter-secker outside who 1Rs siak-
ing his fst, aud denouncins the Post Office
Department for placing deaf msa at the de-
livery window

WITTY CoxDUCToH-Not long since n
very nervous lady took passage at the Tip Top
House, White Mountains, to descend BY the
almost perpendicular railway. Her fears were
apparent to every one, and the following
unique dialogue took place between her and
the conductor
Lady-Mr Conductor. hoz do you hold
these cars when you want 20 make stop ..
Conductor-Madam, we apply tho break,
which you there.
Lady-Snppose, Mr.. Conductor. that
brake should give away, Whist 30 you DO then!
Conduc:or-Madam, we then apply the
double acting brake, which you see at the
other end of the cars.
Lady-But, Mr Conductor spp7ose that
brake should not be sficient to check the
cars. where will we 90 then?
Conducter-Madam, that depends entirely
upon how you have lived in the world.

How THE IRON MEN FEEL.-Advices
from Philadelphia intimate that the state
ments that have been recently going the
rounds of the journals, that general revi
val of the iron trade is expected in the fall
are not Endorsed by persons in that city
who are familiar with the conditions and
prospects of the business. Some improve.
ment is hoped for. bnt it is not believed
that there is any reason to anticipate a
brisk demand for iron and consequent re-
vival of activity in furnaces and ROLLING
mills before next spring at the earliest.
1t Is admitted that when revival of bust
ness comes il will be very general, and
that when once recovered it will be more
