The Queens Finger and the Ring.
rCraxiIIa NTaunoFrs1

At the coronation of Queen Victoria a
curious incident occurred in the middle Of
the solennity. "One ruby ring had been
made for her little finger instead of the
fourth, on which the rubric Prescribes that
it should be put. When the Archbishop
was to put it on she extended the former,
but he said that it must be on the latter.
She said it was too small, and she could
not get it on. He said it was right to put
it there, and as he insisted she yielded,
but had first to take Off her other rings,
and then this was forced on, but it hurt
her very much, and as soon as the cere-

A wagg'sh Judge to Mrs. Belva.

Not long since Mrs. Belva Lockwood, the
lawyer, was arguing a case before Justice
Carter. She didn't get on very well, and

threw up her hands and exclaimed in a
fine, full voice: 'WelI, will your Honor
tell me what 1 can do?" 'G-g-go-out and
re-re-tain a good l-l-l-aw-yer and get him
to t-t-tell YOU" stammered the Justice,
with jolly twinkle in his eye.

that of President Monroe's youngest
daughter, who married her cousin.

dead officer had given the young
couple a brilliant party but few days
before at his own home. An older
