Seven times within thiTty-three

! corpus act in IIeland-ths first in l6+s,
the last in 1865, On the hrst occasion
the measure was proposed by Lend John
Russell und resisted BY Mr.. Shsrman
CraBfoId, then member for Roebdale,
who had only eight supporters. On the
second occasion il vas again proposed
by Lord John Russell The subse-
quent five bills were all passed in the
period l666+65, when the late earl Of
Derby and Mr.. Disraeli were at the
head of affairs. and the duty Of propos-
ing the suspension was imposed upon
the late Lord Mayo and Colonel Wilson
Patten, then chief secretary of Ire
land, whose principal opponent was the
late Nj. Mcclure.
1t is said that the audiences in Rouen
France, are the most critical in the
world. An actress appeared in a play
the scene of which was laid in 1922.
Everything went of very well till a
gentleman In the orchestra exclaimed:
Take off that breastpin." The cause
for the demand was asked. ''The act
ress is wearing a breastpin which con-
tains a photograph-photography was
not discovered wien the play was first
produced"
Take of the breastpin. !" resounded
from all parts of the house. The act
ress obeyed the demand; she was i'm
mediately the recipient of an ovation,
and the play proceeded. Not SO in
America. Miss Anderson frequently
wears articles of dress or decoration
which were unknown in the times
which the play in which she appears
represents.
Mr.. z. Il. Barnum, in talking the
other day of his feelings during his re-
cent severe illness, said:
II looked back and could hardly
recall "a benefit l had rendered to my
fellow-men in all my life. The folly.
the stupidity Of fooling away the few
years given us here in childish strifes
chickering's and differences occurred to
me so strongly that l resolved the sun
would never go down on my cherishing
malice in my heart against u single
fellow-being. This feeling led me to
write to men in Bridgeport and else
where with whom 1 had differences
trivial, perhaps, but sti.l sufficient to
keep us apart-and they all returned
replies in the most kindly and consider
ate spirit. This was very gratifying
to me then, and. is no less so now, when
l fell that / will remain on the earth a
little longer, instead of departing this
life as l expected"
The $4,000 majority Of males in Iowa
should migrate to Massachusetts,, and
when they return take with them the
requisites for equalizing the population
of their state.-New York Null.
We shall never consent to any such
arrangement; no, neverl To be sure
there is an excess of female population
in the Bay State, but we couldn't spare
n of them; we really couldn't now,
so don't ask us. Take away our cul-

life truly worth living. And besides,
some of us may have occasion to marry
again, and it is best to have a supply
right at hand. Call this selfish il you
will; but it is natural that the man who
has welded one of the fair daughters of
Massachusetts, should emulate the ex-
ample of little Oliver and cry for more.
