THE general verdict seems to be that
the recent session of Congress did less
mischief than any of its predecessors
for ten years. So much Of negative
praise does it deserve.

LARGE FARMS.

The papers of California complain
that large numbers of rural immigrants
return to their old homes because the
lands are held in large farms beyond
their reach. The same trouble has
been noticed in Tennessee ever since
the war. Eight years ago that staunch
old Wing, Edwin Paschall, who will be
remembered by many of our readers,
suggested that double taxation on all
lands beyond a certain amount. held by
one person, might induce subdivision.
We doubted the justice or practicable
ity of the scheme. If enforced, it
would, in many cases, lead only to fc-
titious transfers to wives, sons, daugh-
tiers, babies, etc.

ONE.S1DED MEN.-A writer in the Popular
Science Mouthly says: was once sitting 10
cool underground saloon at Leipsic, while
without people were ready to die from the
heat, when new guest entered and took a
scat opposite to me. The sweat rolled in great
drops from his face, and he was kept busy
with his handkerchief. till at last he found re-
lief 10 the exclamation, Fearfully hot
watched him attentvely as he called Tor cool
drink, for expected every moment that he
would fall from his chair 10 a fit of apoplexy.
The man must have noticed that was observ-
ing him, for he turned toward me suddenly,
saying: o,,
81 am curious sort Of person, am | not p
"Why ?" | asked.
because perspire only Oh the right side. !"
And SO it was; his right cheek and the right
half of his forehead were as hot as fire, while
the left side Of his face bore not trace Of per-
spratiou, | had never seen the like, and, 10
my astoniShmeut, was about to enter iato con-
versation with him regarding his physiological
curiosity, when his nelghbor, on the left broke
iu with the remark
''rhen we are the opposites and counterparts
for each other; for persplre only on the left
side"
This, too, was the fact. So the pair took
seats opposite to each other, and shook hands
like two men who had just found each his
other halt.

THE RECENT REPORT about the alarming III
ness and unprecedented death of Queen Victoria
receives au amusing, yet probably correct. ex-
panaton of the way 10 which it obtained cir
culation A correspondent of Liverpool pa
per, writing on the 18th ult. about the canard
of two days before, says: The rumor about
the Queens alarming illness had its origin in
the following circumstances ln a certain Lon
don newspaper Office there is biography Of
the Sovereign, which was written ten years ago,
and the editor. with the provident forethought
of his class, deemed, it desirable that it should
be revised and brought down to date. 1t was
given out to one of the staff, and duly revised
and corrected The editor thought it would
be we'll to see the article 10 type, and he conse-
queutly gave it out to be set up A compost
tor happened to see the notice when it was in
type, read the solemn and affecting announce
ment with which it opened, and immediately
proceeded to disseminate the melancholy intel
hgeuce. As soon as the story was fairly set
agoiug it travelled 10 all directions, aud under
went all sorts of notifications. ln one its
forms it reached the ears of some credulous
correspondents and thus obtained wide circu-
lation all over the couutry.' The Times, which
long has been famous for its early, full and
we'll written obituary memoirs may be the pa
per hinted at in the above gossip, but other
London journals have lately competed with it
In this respect.

''TuATs WHAT I've BEEN TELLING EMI-
LY."-Canada's bright and sensible Governor
General, Lord Dufferiu, has given to the Do.
nliuon people new by word, which has spread
with electric rapidity from one end OF Canada
to the other. On his voyage out, being called
upon by the emigrants to address them, be
alluded to this phrase, which had grated harsh
ly on his ear:
He had the misfortune Of having too many
children"
Lord Duferin said:
Il remarked that perhaps no better idea
could be given of the difference between the
old country and their new home than BY the
fact that whereas 10 England struggling man
might be overweighted in the battle OF lite by
too numerous family, in the land to which they
were going man could scarcely have TOO many
children Here | was applauded Justify, with
cheerful accom- paniment of laughter, wheu l
was further greeted by an approving thump
GU the back by sialwart young emigrant, who
cried out:
Right you are, sir That's what I've been
telling Emily"
The Canadians have got up the slang phrase:
That what I've been telling Emily, hav.
ng had the anecdote made familiar by going
the rounds of the newspapers, aud now one
hears everywhere: ;,
That's what I've been telling Emily.
