John Brown, having been sent the other
day at Balmoral by the Queen in quest OF
the LADY in waiting, who happened to be
the Duchess of Athole, suddenly stumbled
against her. "HoOt, man," said j. b.,
styer lest the woman l was looking for"

A correspondent of the London Epening
Nesos says that OF the large sum of money
subscribed to sustain the Irish Land League
agitation only small proportion went to
| support those for whose succor 1t was prin-
| cipally intended. He says that the relief
| fund sent by the Irish In America was
meant for the poor people In the West of
| Ireland but that the patriots pocketed q
large share OF it. The evicted' tenants, &C
| cordlng to this writer, did not receive as
much money as was sent to the persons who
| should have given it to them. From the
| figures presented by this writer 1t appears
| that the money athat was subscribed for
| charity went to support "the war;" and that
ahe patriots are still in command OF the
money.
A gentleman who spent the month Of Oc-
trber in the town OF Winnipeg, Manitoba,
saws that the thermometer frequently reg
| istered several degrees below zero. But so
| great is the buoyancy Of the climate and the
! purity of the atmosphere in this metropolis
OF Northwestern Canada that little incon-
venience is FELT from the cold. A stranger
however, is apt to suffer from his lnexperi-
ence. He was walking. he says, on the
street one day, and feeling very comfort
able, when citizen came up to him, and,
slapping him on the shoulder, exclaimed:
''Tender fool, yer nose is friz," And he
T found that this was actually the case. He
noticed afterward that people walking in the
streets were in the habit OF frequently slap
| ping their noses and ears to keep up the
| circulation in those parts.
