THE Detroit Tribune has Just moved

THEY came pretty near hanging an
Eastern man at Shellville, Fla, because
they discovered a toothbrush and
bottle of hair-oil in his satchel. They
said no cussed Yank could come around
there putting on the airs of Napoleon
Bonaparte.
In restaurant not long ago, a gen.
tleman, while devouring plate of hash,
came across pearl sleeve button in it.
He very Justly complained to the big,
brawny waiter, the latter replying in an
astounding manner: Well, what
dyer expect to get-a hull shirt ?"
LINES by Tennyson, but by
somebody else:
'Tis midnight, and the setting sun
Is rising in the far, far west.
The fog now leaves its lowny nest;
The pensive ghost and sportive COW
Hilarious leap from bough to bough.
THE pride of mankind is great. A
night or two ago, family in New York
was awakened by unusual noises in the
house, and, on turning out, saw the
eldest hopeful rushing about in his
suspenders, brandishinr, new Wesson,
and shouting, "There's q man in the
house !" A long search failed to show
any foundation for the young mans
warlike demonstration, when he mildly
informed the breathless and exhausted
tribe that it was his birthday. He was
twenty-one.
DoDDINGTos was very lethargic.
Falling asleep one day after dinner,
with Sir Richard Temple, Lord Cob
ham and several others, one of the party
reproached him with his drowsiness.
He denied having been asleep, and, to
prove he had not, offered to repeat all
Lord Gotham had been saying. Cob
ham challenged him to do so. Dodding-
ton repeated a story, and Gotham
owned he had been telling it. "Weu,"
said Doddington, "and yet I did not
hear a word of it but went to sleep
because that knew about this time of
the day you would tell that story"
By the side of a murmuriDg stream,
An elderly gentleman sat;
On the top OF his head was q wig,
And atop of his wig was his hat.
The wind 1t blew high and blew strong,
As the elderly gentleman sat;
And it tore from his head in a trice,
And plunged in the river his hat
The gentleman then took his cane,
Which lay by his side as he sat
And he dropped in the river his wig,
In attempting to get out his hat.
His breast 1t grew cold with despair, tt
And full in his eyes sadness sat;
So he flung in the river his cane,
To swim with his wig and his hat.
