The late Dr. Macadam used to tell of tipsy
Scotchman making his way home upon bright
Sunday morning, when the good folk were
vending their way to the kirk. A little dog
pulled the ribbon from the hand OF lady who
was leading it, and as it ran away from her.
she appealed to the first passer-by, asking him
to whistle for her poodle. Woman ne re-
torted With that solemnity of visage which on
" drunken Scotchman can assume, woman,
this is no day for whistlin'."

THE GAZETTE.
MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10.

Bayard Taylor, writing from Alexandria,
Egypt, says that the most remarkable change
since his visit there twenty years ago is the
astonishing spread of the English language
within the last twenty years, resulting both
from the numbers ofthe English and American,
travellers who visit the East, and the use OF
the language by travellers of other uationalites'
French, which, until the last few years, was IN
dispeusable, has been slowly fading into the
background, and is already less available than
English for Itsly and all the Orient.
