One Kind OF Englis1tman.

Just before the meeting of the
British Science Association began
a Canadian gentleman ~courteously
invited one of the members, Il rather
Well-known parsonage, to honor his
elegant residence with his presence
during his stay here instead of going to
a crowded hotel. po this responded
the aforesaid well-knoHn parsonage,
accepting the offer and telling the host
when he would arrive. Il will come
in the evening" he wrote, ''with my
wife. l wish to have a reception room,
two bedchambers, a bathroom and
rooms for my valet and my wife's
lady's maid. See also that on our ar
rival there is provided a supper etc.
And then he went on to say what he
WANTED for supper, topping the list off
with a couple of bottles of Bass ale.
just as though he were giving direc-
lions to an innkeeper, and altogether
in the same tone. The gentleman to
whom he wrote, and who is a man of
refinement as well as wealth. felt he
had made a mistake in his courtesy.
and that his visitors would not be the
kind of persons he could feel satisfied
in bringing into his household. And
he Immediately saw to it THAT they were
provided for at a hotel instead.-Ne,t

called for his sword and proposed to cut

with his tail clipped bare except at the
extremity, which stu retained some
long hair. The dog was quite uncon-
cerned, and went snuffing around the
arena and under the court table at the
magistrates feet, or wherever his teter
would allow him to extend his eyplora-
tons. The claimants for the dog were
the butcher and a washerman. The
butchers assistant held a string with
the dog at the end Of it. The washer
man held a basket In his hand contain
ing liuir winch he had clipped from the
dogs tail, and which he produced In
proof of ownership. Mr.. Howes, IN
spector of Markets stated that he had
known the butther for many years, and
that he had seen the dog at his place;
and that he believed the dog belonged
to the butcher. 1t was also stated by
the police that an experiment had been
tried at Hongkow Police Station; the
washerman called on the dog but it
would not follow him; but when the
butcher called. the dog heard his mas
ter's voice and knew the sound thereof.
AS a last resort to prove that the dog
loved him and belonged to him, the
washerman pulled off his jacket and
showed a plaster stuck between his
shoulder blades, saying that the dog
had bit him there. The magistrate
decided i'll favor of the washerman sc
far that lie was allowed to keep the
basketful of hair and the butcher was
allowed to take the rest Of the dog.

FlOgging Women.

Little more than a hundred years
ago women were publicly whipped at
the whipping post by the stocks, or at
any carts tail. Tie fierce statute
against Migrants of Henry Wits and
EliZabeth's reign made no distinction
of sex, and their ferocious provisions
to the effect that offenders should be
stripped naked from the middle up
ward, and whipped till the body should
be bloody" long continued in force.
Men with their wives aud children
were logged publicly, and sometimes
by order of the Clergyman of the
Parish. Girls of twelve and thirteen,
aged women of sixty, all suffered alike;
women distracted, that is, out of their
minds, were arrested and lashed; 50
were those that had the small pox, and
all who walked about the country and
begged.
