 Lord Dudley's Habit of Tlirlsing Out Loud-c
 Ecccntricities.
 'Iord Dudley" says Mr. Moore, is well known, has q trick of reheais over to himself, in an underione, good things he is about to deliver to company, so that the person who next to him has generally the advant. of his wit before any of the rest of party. A man not very remarkable agreeableness once proposed to " from the house of commons to the IT elers' club with Lord Dudley, who, d cussing the proposal mentally Gas thought) with himself, said audibly, don't think it will bore me very mt to let him walk with me that distand On another occasion, when he gs somebody a seat in his carriage fri some country-house. he was overhes by his companions, after a fit ofthous and silence, saying to himself: Nd shall 1 ask this man to dine with when we arrive in town?' It iss that the fellow-traveler, not pretend to hear him, muttered out in the sa sort of tone: Now, if Lord Dud should ask me to dinner, shall I acca his invitation?'
 A happy specimen of his wit was | retort to German lady at Vienna W had somewhat rudely complained of bad French spoken by you EnglisI in London. True, mada1n," he sd ''we have not enjoyed the advantage having had the French twice in capital"
 This recalls retort about as co made by an Englishman to the Due Brogle when ambassador in Englar who said, with equally lax manne that they were right in thinking l. English native of shopkeepers. sPf haps so" was his reply, gust as we ways thought you were nation of diers."
 After his retirement his curious mad and various oddities increased to an travagant degree, and were the talk the town, which, however. soon came accept them as it does all kind of od ty. He would go to dinner parties | sit without uttering word excepting himself. During some brief ''fiashes silence,n MT. Raikes tells of friend his whom he describes as good-natur and very good-looking man, not ov flowing with intellect. "It was at time when poor Dudley's mind was the wane, when his caustic humor wol| still find vent through the cloud wh5 was gradually overshadowing his m} terly intellect; he was sitting in room, unheeding those around him, al soliloquizing aloud, as was so often custom. His favorite Newfoundlaa dog was at his side. who seemed to q gross his whole attention. At lengj patting his head, he exclaimed: sFi| mic, they say dogs have no sou| Humph!

 In this state, too. he would invI large companies to dinner, who. strar CT still. would accept his invitatioi though when they came he would Il address them. Mir. Moore, who loy| cheerfulness and gayety, complain| mourufully of these festivities as danl ing and depressing. Forthe host wod sit the whole time in 8 sortof stupor, converse with himself, orhave a voluj of Hume open before him, which would read throughout his dinner. Fl was the beginning of tue end. A sb} time afterward, in 1882, it was kncj that.the doctors had directed that should be put under restraint, and the 9th of March, 1883, this brillia but eccentric man expired. He VI only 52.

 A Fly Hunt.
 now began to make havoc arlongl colony of flies who had apparently spe their lives in obtaining from the windd panes some occult flavor which is Il perceptible to our coarser palates. made three captives, who were pass| beneath the muslin door of the jar vii a little slight of hand. The appearan1 of these flies was my next subject of q servation. They each had an indiy1 uaiity which l did not till then knd that flies possessed. Their deportmei their figures, their very moral tone. h, a distinct stamp; yet there was a hd monious something which united cha aeters so different. The firsthad fit fy appearance, his body looked sodd1 and he behaved in q fat and senst, manner. He took the grossest plessu in warming his ventral surface on | side of the jar toward the sun. 1 sipped the sweets of life to excess, al had lost that activity a fly ought possess. Alas! his career rendered hi unfit to battle in the struggle for ex tence. He became the spiders fl, meal.
 The second fly had but one wing. l was lean and i'll nurtured. yet he h withal chirpy and pleasing nisiiif,( He had neither the pompous bearing opulence nor the boisterous ways of ru health. lie was sweet-tempered a amiable fly, and among the local m, cae undoubtedly occupied the same I sitioa that Tiny Tim did in his famil 1 should have let him go, only that feared that if 1 did so I should also lease the third fly. whom my SC loathed. Now. letme tell you why th fly was objectionable. He was the or fly left on the window-panes, and walked over them with the arrogance a landlord. l sought to catch him, | each attempt was more futile than t last. He lodged, he flew away frt the window. he calmly floated a5o the room, and followed him, flappi with my pocket-handkerchief till 1 vi bly, perspired. He was as cunning the fox of Ballybogue, whos you reme Der. used to look at the newspaper see where the meets were to be. ] temper overcame mo, and 1 swore would have that fly.
 After hunt, which brought out my worst characteristics, I caught hi and deposited him in my viTarium. ! ioiein9 to myself that his death-aeon
