HENRY VIII, so runs the story,
having quarrelled with Francis 1,
resolved to send an ambassador to
deliver message in the most men
acing terms, land appointed Bishop
Bonner to execute the commission.
The Bishop then told the King that
the embassy would cost him his
life. Henry replied that if any
harm befell his representative he
would instantly cut off the heads Of
all the Frenchmen in his dominionS.
So you may, sire," objected the
Bishop, "but | fear there is not one

CURRAN'S INGENUITY. A farmer,
attending u fair, with a hundred
pounds in his pocket, took the pre-.
caution of depositing it in the hands
of the landlord of the public house
at which he stopped. Having Oc.
casion for it shortly afterwards, he
resorted to mine host for payment.
But the landlord, too deep for the
cOuntryman, wondered what he
meant and was quite sure no such
sum had ever been lodged in his
hands by the astonished rustic.
After Intellectual appeals to the rec
Ollection, and finally to the honor of
Bardolph, the farmer applied to
Curran for advice.
"Have patience, my friend" said
the counsel "speak to the landlord
civilly-tell him you have left your
money with some other person.
Take friend with you, and lodge
with him another hundred in tho
presence of your friend, and come
to me.
Ho did so and returned to his
legal friend.
"And now l can't see how Pm
going to be better off for this, if l
get my second hundred back again.
But how is that to be done ?"
"Go and ask him for it when he
is alone," said the counsel.
"Aye, sir, asking won't do l am
afraid, without any witness, at any
rate"
"Never mind take my advice"
said his counsel (; "do as l bid you,
and return to me-"
The farmer returned with his
hundred, glad to find that safely in
his possession.
"NOw, sir, | must be content, but
1 don't see | am much better off,"
"Well, then, said the COUNSEL"
now take your friend along with
you, and ask the landlord for the
hundred pounds your friend saw you
leave with him."
We need not add that the willy
found he had been taken
off his guard, while our honest
friend returned to thank his cOun-
sel exultingly, with both hundreds
in his pocket.

Mr.. Parsons, u lawyer in Chicago,
was trying case before u jury,
being counsel for the prisoner. The
judge was very hard upon him, and
the jury brought in verdict OF
guilty. Mr.. Parsons moved for a
new trial. The judge denied the
motion, and remarked: "The Court
and the jury think the prisoner a
knave and a fool" The counsel
promptly replied: "The prisoner
wishes me to say he is perfectly
satisfied-he has been tried by q
court and jury of his peers !"

MIDDLEMEN'S PROFITS. Those

MIDDLEMEN's PROFITS. Those
who think the profits of middlemen
need no trimming, are referred to
the fact that while the wholesale
prices of market beef in 1860 and
1875, in Boston, were respectively
seven dollars and six dollars and
seventy-five cents per one hundred
pounds, the retail prices were from
twelve to fifteen cents per pound in
1860, and are from eighteen to
twenty-five cents per pound in 1870.
That is, farmers get less now than
in 1860, while consumers pay fifty
per cent. more. And it is the same
way in many other staple articles
of consumption, either from the
farm or the factory.
