A ludicrous intance of punning upon q
name once took place in judicial court OF
New York, which is thus told: Counsel had
been questioning a certain witness named
Gum, and in closing he said to him, "Mr.
Gum, you can now 60 off," The judge on
''Sir. you are discharged" OF course an ex-
plosion in court Immediately ensued.

HOW WALLACE KEPT THE PASS.


Wefoowed on thertrack, nor ever once turned back
Through forests, over mountains, we followed night
and day.
Our bodies might be tired but hearts and brains
were fired
By the thought of what would happen shor'd the
redskins get away
One hundred miles were past and we knew this could
not last,
For our steeds were growing weary and we were
nearly spent;
When, just as early morning DER the mountain tops
was dawning,
We saw dim smoke rising and we halted well con-
tent.
With stealthy serpent-glide we left the mountain
side,
And crawled along the valley till we upon their
herd;
They were twice as strong in number, but some
were sunk in elumber-
They dreamed not of coming, for not dry leaf
stirred.
Then Wallace gave the sign and we fred on their
line,
And some rose up from slumber but to fall again and
We crouched upon the ground and we shot them on
the bound,
As they ran towards their pones all picketed close BY
Twas whilst the whistling shot came pouring fast
and hot,
And scattered dust upon and sang about our ears
That Phnix* nothing fearing, charged alone across
the clearing,
And drove away their ponies You should have heard
our cheers!
As long as it was light we waged the deadly fight
Though they strong in numbers, yet we were
strong of heart;
The powder smoke curled round us and they sought
us till they found us,
Then fled back in disorder with their ranks all torn
apart.
We staid upon the ground as darkness fell around,
Yet never closed eyeds but lay and watched the
foe;
The welcome daylight showed their dead all round
us strewed,
And from the hills came peaiing dismal wall of woe
Now, let us drain glass to him who kept the pass,
And saved our frontier settlers from the crue
horde:
"Here's to the Wallace name! may it long maintain
the fame
It gained in Scottish history with battle-axe and
sword, [-JIP.

"Now, my man." said the lawyer to the
witness, "tell us exactly what passed"
Eyes, my lord l said l would not have
the pig" "And what was his answer p
"He said he had been keeping it for me,
and that he" mo, no! He could not
have said that. He spoke in the first
person" NO. my lord; l was the person
that spoke" II mean, don't bring in
the third person. Repeat his exact
words" "There was no third person,
my lord; only him and me-" MY good
fellow, he did not say he had been keep
ing the pig He said Il have been keep
ing it. >" 81 assure you, my lord, there
was no mention of your lordshIp at all.
We are on different stories. There was
no third person there, and if anything
had been said about your lordship l
must have heard it.

WHO INTRODUCED THEM ?

Potatoes, it is said, were first intro
duced into Europe by Sir Walter Ra-
leigh; but the fact is by no means
proven. 1t seems very strange, if he
did introduce the potato into Ireland or
England in 1884 or 1885, that John
Gerards, who was at that time gathering
material for his great work, "The His
torie of Plantes," published dozen
years later Q597), was not aware of the
fact, for he gives figure and descrlp-
ton of the Virginia potato but not
word about Sir Walter Raleigh being its
introducer. The famous German botan-
ist, Clusius, obtained some potato
tubers while residing in Vienna in 1885,
from the Governor of Mons, in the
province of Hainault, who procured them
from an attendant of the Pope's legate,
but none of these men menti, n Sir Walter
Raleigh, and they had probably no knowl-
edge of him or his Virginian enterprise.
| Of course it is of no particular impor-
| tance to US whether Sir Walter Raleigh
or somebody else has the honor of being
| he first to carry the potato to Europe,
| yut we mention the above facts i'll his

guished himself as such by returning to
this country with the celebrated Striving
statuette of Christ" the method of OBJ
tanning which was open to suspicion.
He was the editor of the Gallery of H.
lustrious Americans, and for twenty
years dished up more literary cold meat
and hash than any other "author" In
America. Prichard and Diaz have, it
appears, raked c. Edwards out of the
ashes of past generation and set him to
work to prepare pamphlet to be enti-
tied "The Republic of Mexico, a His
torical Sketch;" for which he is to re-
ceive $4,000. A characteristic letter
from Lester to P. is found amongst these
papers. A few quotations will indicate
its import and let light in upon some of
the acts of our own statesmen.
"In the work shall totally ignore
Zamacona (Mexican Minister to the U.
S., and in such way as will hurt him
worse than any other mode of treating
him. Five thousand American
journals and as many abroad, with all the
chief statesmen, bankers, Ministers, Con-
suls, merchants, authors, &c, of the
world, will never know anything about
the skunk through my pen. n

of course have promptly pledged myself
to do Also another important fact

his Committee Gin Mexico) to sit during

me to assist in preparing the report,
which means that l will write it this

Mexico is my client now, and will be so
long as she sticks to me-"
1t is fattering to thus learn that our

hireling as c. Edward Lester for inspira-
tion in grave international questions!
A letter also comes to the surface from
Mr.. Cox (Sunset) to Mr.. Prichard inclos-
ing a copy of Secretary Evarts' instruc-
tions to Minister Foster, which copy was
surreptitiously obtained from the State
Department long before it became known
to the public. The bringing these last
documents to light will have a very salu
tary effect upon the people and Govern
ment of the United States. 1t shows
just how the milk gets into the journal.

Ifyou lovo me, tell me 30.
II you love me, tell me so.
While the rivers dreamy dow
Holds the love.enchanted hours
STEPPED in music, crowned with flowers;
Ere the summers dreamy days
Fale in mystic, purple haze
Ere is hushed the music fow-:
nyou love me, tell me SO.
n you love me, tell me so.
Let me hear the sweet words low,
Let me, in lifc's morning fair
Feel your kisses on my hair,
While in womanhoods first bloom,
Ere shall come dark days Of gloom;
In the first fresh morning glow
Hyou love me, tell me SO.
