A Joke on FOota.

Cumberland was frequenter of the
British cofee-house, which was a great
resort for North Briton, as well as of
some of the most famous men of the
time, Foote, Garrick, Goldsmith, Rey-
nolds. Here it was one day suggested
that he should write comedy with q
Scotchman in it, as companion to his
Irish Major. He objected that he had
never been in Scotland, and knew very
little of the dialect. "Give your Scotch.
man a character" remarked one of the
company, "and take your chance for
the dialect. If you bring a Roman
upon the stage, you don't make him
speak Latin" No, no." cried Foote
"and if you don't make him wear
breeches Garrick will be much obliged
to you. When I Was in Stranraer,
went to the kirk, where the Ness-John
was declaiming most furiously against
luxury, and, as heaven shall Judge me
there was not a pair of shoes in the
whole congregation" From this con.
versation originated the character OF
Colin Mcleod" in his next comedy

Indian DepredatiOns.

settlers protection. But we daily read of the

it is making in human life. Tens Of thousands
of homes are annually desolated by consump
