Did an Irishman ever make greater
blunder than the English lawyer who
drew up an Indictment, in which it was
charged that the prisoner at the bar killed
man with certain wooden instrument
called an iron pestle? Or than Peter
Harrison, commentator on the Penta-
touch, who, in explaining about the
tables of stone on which Moses wrote the
commandments, said, "They were prob
ably made of Shittim wood?" Or than
the English Major, who, when he was
experimenting the hanging of rebel
hishman in 1898, and the rope broke,
and the poor wretch fell to the ground,
seized him by the throat, crying out !:
"You rascal, if you do that again I'll
kick you as sure as you breathe !" Or
than a correspondent of the English
Royal Society, who talked of an earth
quake that had the honor of being no.
ticed by the said society? Or was there
ever bull more exquisite than that of
an Englishman, who, speaking of his
nurse, said g i hate her, for she changed
me for another when was baby?" And
was it not bull of the first order that
was perpetrated by Frenchman, who,
in quarrel with his father, said F: ct
owe you no gratitude, for, had you not
been born, should have inherited my
grandfather's property"
