Fun in the Witness Box,

IN recent trial at Winchester, wit
L ness, falling to make his version of
conversation Ineligible by reason of
his fondness for says - and "says
he," was taken in hand by Baron Mar
tin with the following result: " My
man, tell us now exactly what passed."
d" Yes, my lord said would not have
the pig" "And what was his answerp ?"
He said he had been keeping it for me,
and that he" "No, no he could not
have said that; he spoke in the first
person." "No, my lord; 1 was the first
person that spoke" 81 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 keeping the pig; he said, Il have
been keeping it. =" "I 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 must have heard
it," The baron gave in. Lord Mans
field once came off second best in en-
deavoring to make a witness use intelli-
gible language. The man had deposed
that he had not suffered any loss at the
defendants hands, because he was up to
him. "What do you mean by being up
to him ?" asked his lordship. Mean,
my lord why, that was down upon
him." Down upon him ?" repeated
the judge, interrogatively. "Yes, my
lord; deep as he thought himself, 1
staged him." Really said Lord
Mansfield, ~ do not understand this
sort of language. "Not understand
it ~ exclaimed the unabashed adept in
slang: "Not understand it lord, what
flat you must bel" Humorous in this
way of putting things, was the gentle
man who said Stock Exchange bear

got bull a man who bought what he

Ancient Buildinus.

Some have asserted that no buildings
sufficiently capacious TO hold such
multitude of people, could be construct
ed so as to rest chiefly upon two pillars !;
but this Is mistake, for Pliny mentions
two theatres, built by Curio, of amazing
dimensions and made of wood They
were so contrived that each of them was
made to depend upon one hinge.
This led Pliny to censure the madness
Of the people, who would venture into
place for their pleasure, where they sat
on such an uncertain and unstable seat !:
for If that hinge had given way the
slaughter would have been dreadful.
Shaw supposes the temple of Dagon to
be of the same kind with the ancient
sacred Enclosures, surrounded in part, or
altogether, with some cloistered build
ings. He says that palaces and courts
of justice in those countries are built In
this fashion; and upon their festivals
and rejoicings great quantity of sand
is strewed upon the area for the wrest-
lers to fall upon, while the roof of the
cloisters round about is crowded with
spectators. He mentions having often
seen several hundreds of people amused
in this manner upon the roof of the
dey's palace at Algiers, which has an
advanced cloister over against the gate
of the palace, made in the fashion of
large penthouse, supported only by one
or two contiguous pillars in the front, or
else in the centre. Sampson must have
been in the court or area below, and up
on supposition that in the house of
Eagon was cloistered structure of this
kind, the pulling down the front or CEN
tire pillars which supported it must have
occasioned the catastrophe which hap
pened to the Philistines.

A Puzzled Dutchman Made Glad.

A DUTCHMAN once heard a sermon
IA by preacher who did not believe
in immersion for baptism. In his dis
course he attempted to explain the prop
osition into," asserting that it meant
going down to or near the water, and
being sprinkled. At the close of this
very labored discouse, the preacher gave
an opportunity for any present to ex-
press their thoughts on the subject. The
Dutchman accepted the invitation, and
remarked as follows:
"Mr. Breacher, 1 ish so glad wash
here tonight, for has had explained to
my mint something dat never could
believe pefore. Oh, ish so glad dat
into does not mean into at all, but shust
close py or near to, for now can pc
lieve manish things vot 1 could not un-
derstand before. We reat, Mr.. Breacher,
dat Tantiel was cast into de ten of lions,
and come out alife Now,I never could
understand dat, for de wilt peasts would
eat him up right off; but now it ish
very clear to me mint. He was shust
close by or near to, and did not get into
de ten at all, Oh, L ish so glad wash
here tonight. Again we reat dat der
Hebrew children wash cast into the
firish furnace, and dat always lookt like
a peeg story, too for dinks dey would
have peen purnt up; but 1t ish all blain
to my mint now, fur dey was shust cast
close by or near to de firish furnace; oh,
1 ish so glad wash here tonight.
"And den, Mr.. Breacher, it, ish said
dat Jonah vas cast into the walesh pei
ley. Now 1 could never understand
dot; but it ish all plain to my mint
now he wash not taken into de whales
pelley at all, but shust shump onto his
pack and rode ashore. Oh, 1 ish so glat
1 wash here tonight
"And now, Mr.. Breacher, if you'll
shust explain two more pashages of Scrip
ture, shall be so happy wash here to-
night. One of dem is we're it saish, de
wicked shall be cast into dat lake. 1

not be cast into dat lake, but shust close

could not pay for, and that a financler'
was "a man who doesn't want shares
buying them from one who has none to
SELL" A Jew, speaking of young
man as his son-in-law, was accused of
misleading the court, since the young
man was really his son. Moses, how
ever, persisted that the name he put to
the relationship was the right one, and,
addressing the bench, said: &C was in
Amsterdam two years and three-quar-
ters when I come home 1 finds this lad.
Now the law obliges me to maintain
him, and consequently, he is my SON
in-law." WE'LL" said Lord Mansfield,
this is the best definition of son.in-
law ever yet heard" An Irishman,
examined before Fishery Commission,
seemed so inclined to avow anything,
that one of the commissioners asked if
there were any whales on the west
coast? Is 1t whales 2" said Pat.
Sure we may seem by the dozen,
spouting about like water-engines all
over the place. " Are there MANY
dog fish 2" was the next question,
"Dogs, begorra yed say 'ad we passed
the night here. Sure we can't sleep for
the barkin 10 thim.'' Do flying-fish
abound here ?" queried another gentle
man. "Flying- fish, is IL? ?" quoth the
veracious fellow. If we didn't put up
