DOBBINS ELECTRIC SOAP.

Having obtained the agency Of

ion OF some of our best people as
10 its merits. We have been
using for the last 3 months the
Dobbins' Electric soap. made by

Pa, and find that it washes and.
cleans the clothes more rapidly
and more thoroughly and Is in
the end cheaper than any other
,oap we have ever used in our

mend it and a single trial will
convince all of the correctness of
our assertions.

Full of Anecdote,

Although Talfourd was very sensitive
to criticism on his writings, have heard
him laugh at some of Jerrold's ill-tem-
pered sayings; for Jerrold, like Iago,
was nothing unless he was critical. Some
of his rudest jokes were made at Tai
fourd,s expense. AS a speciman of lis
sordld waspish nature, I will give one or
two OF them. In person Talfourd was
about the medium height, and inclined
to corpulency. His face was clean
shaved, having neither whisker, mus
tache nor beard: SO that after dinner
when he had takena glass OF two of wine,
his round and chubby face assumed a
ruddy hue. and Looked very jolly. This
led Jerrold, one night, to say: "Here's
aconundrum for you. Why is Talfourd's
face like a doctors bottle % "Because, %
continued the hunchbacked satirist, 4" it
is red and round and always lit up after
dark. Indeed, the sergeant's beam
ing countenance inspired another
conund1um shortly afterwards in
the following shape: "Why is
Talfourd's nose like julius Cesar?"
"Because it's passed the Rubicund. !"
The foregoing are simply personal
impertinences, but the following is
really good. It must be admitted that
the genial sergeant was somewhat tire
some when he began to dilate upon his
own playa theme very pleasant to
him; and, although Jerrold was himself
a great egotist, he had no liberation for
that foible in others. One night, in de-
scribing the plot OF new play he was
writing. friend observed: "Don't you
think, Talfourd, you have too many Ions
in the fire % "Egad," said Jerrold,
g that is where I should advise the SER
geant to put all his plays. "-Thonaas
