having been placed in aroom infested with
flies, they disappeared as by enchantment.
Wishing to find the cause. he soon found
under the castor oil plant q number Of dead
flies. and . large number Of bodies had
remained clinging to the under surface OF
the leaves. 1t would therefore appear that
the leaves of the castor oil plant give out

ConVersing With a Donkey.
[London Exchanged

LONDON EXcnanRe.
The following story has been told in SO
many different ways that we think it only
right TO give our readers the original: Some
years ago Mr.. Peckham, a gentleman well
known and remembered by the tradesmen Of
Yorkshire, was staying at the Unicorn inn,
Ripon, for the night, and, after completing
his business in the quiet and respectable old
city, was enjoying cigar and glass with a
few of the tradesnen who did business with
him. Among other things the converse
ton turned upon the subject of hold
ing converse with the lower animals,
MIR. Peckham affirming that the thing
was not an impossibility, as he him
self was able to hold converse with several of
the different species. While in the act of
conversation, an old man with donkey and
cart, partly laden with pots, drove into the
yard, and, being seen by the company, Mr..
Peckham offered TO bet any gentleman pres
sent half a dozen of champagne he could
make the donkey understand what he should
say to it. The bet being accepted the party
turned out en- masse Mr.. Peckham asked
and obtained leave for a moments converse
ton with the donkey; and, handing the owner
half crown for the favor, he put his mouth
quite close to the donkey's car, and, doubt
less, covering the act with cloud Of smoke,
unobservedly dropped the burning ash
from his cigar into the poor things ear. The
sentence uttered was, Of course, inaudible,
but the donkey instantly began to plunge,
and, its owner being amazed and seemingly
powerless, the cart was eventually over
turned and most of the pots broken. The
disaster caused no little amusement to the
company at the expense of the poor fellow,
who demanded compensation for the damage
done, to which request Mr. Peckham declined
to accede, and, with his friends, be returned
to the inn to enjoy his wine. The hawker
was left threatening to summon Dir. Peckham
before the mayor in the morning, which
threat he carried into effect.
The case, on being stated, caused considera
BILE amusement, and eventually his worship
suggested that Mr.. Peckham should make
the poor man Some recompense, and he would
dismiss the case. Mr.. Peckham assented,
and thanked his worship kindly, expressing
his regret that the matter had turned out so
unfortunately for the poor man. His wor-
ship desired him to inform the court what
were the words he uttered TO the donkey, but
Mr.. Peckham at first declined TO do 80, on &C
count Of there being a danger of giving Of
Tense to his worship; bat the latter good
humoredly replied that there was no danger
ct all and desired him to speak out Dir.
Peckham, without further hesitation, stated
that be told the donkey that be was brother
to the mayor Of Ripon, and he was a fool il
ever he drew another pot for any one; hence
the disaster.

AS Written Down by the Burlington
Mau
TR. j. Burdebte.1

Nv. u. DuTQSUU6.J
Well, Lord Coleridge, chief Justice of En-
gland, IS here. He is accompanied by his son
Gil. His full name is Gilbert, but we always
call him Gil. They expect to be the guests
of the Burlington bar OF boat cub. they
haven't decided which. The party came
ashore in Elbridge Garry's yacht. Lord
Coieridge is six feet old, about sixty years
long, and shaves his face clean every day,
including the Sabbath. His baggage was
passed ashore without examination, under
the disguise of luggage, name applied to it
by himself. He does not know much. He
calls bis valises "bags" and his trunks
"boxes," and spoke Of a baggage car as
''luggage van" He is not 80 intelligent as he
looks. He was nearly choked to death at
luncheon, by swallowing O. large H, which he
insisted on putting ON his oyster, although he
was told repeatedly that it wasn't lum-tum to
do 50. On being showed dude he remarked
that he had committed several of them to the
asylum for life just before leaving England.
He had one Of the best lay-outs for an ex-
tended lunch route ever organized on this
continent, the banquets being located all the
way from New York 10 Oregon, both in
Canada and the United States.
His ludship was very much surprised on

governor of the United States
'Had we no governor, ttseng'' he asked.
''Oh, yes, )" we said.
"And who was governor if the marquis
was notg'
And we told him, Ben Butler. He was Just
about the governorest governor that ever
governed, we said. And his lrfdship was
pleased, and said he had never met Governor
Butler, but had read his "Analogy" and
'tLife of Hudibras.n
He said he had letter of introduction to a
man named Greeley, reporter on some
newspaper, he understood. After luncheon
his ludship called cab and ordered the
driver to take him to Kansas, and was
greatly disconnected on being told that the
cabs only ran as far as the Grand Central
depot, and that Kansas was at least thirty
five miles out Of the city. He expects to re-
main in this country three weeks He would
return to England tomorrow, but will be
detained here somewhat longer, collecting
material for history Of the United States,
which he is going to write.
