Watterson's Receipt.

Henry Watterson is quick in repartee,
and now and then perpetrates a good
thing on the spur of the moment. He
met in Washington, at the Riggs house,
the celebrated poet-lobbyist, Col. D;ck
Wintersmith. The latter was in a gas
tronomic quandary, and told Mr.. Wat
terson that he (Wintersmith) had an idea
of ordering dinner of fine beefsteak and
onions. He was skeptical as to whether
the Riggs house could serve dinner Of
onions and beefsteak that would have
real onions and yet leave no offensive
odor upon the breath.
''Col Dick, can tell you what to do, Z"
said WattersOn.
What is that?"
"Why, go to John Chamberlin's and
order beefsteak and onions. and when
you pay your bill it will take your breath
away."-New York World.

Edwin Booths Favorite Story.

Edwin Booth, the melancholy Dane,
is very entertaining when he enjoys a
brief convalescence from dyspepsia.
Here is one of the jokes he tells on
Fechter, who played a round of charac-
tiers in this country:
Il went one night to hear Fechter in
melodrama of tragic cast. In one
part of the play Fechter had to count
out money, He was very deliberate and
said slowly, One, two, three, four, FIVE, )
and so on. The interest of the play was
hanging on the tragedian's having
enough money and paying it over to the
villain. He kept slowly counting, and
the audience grew more restless and
anxious for him 10 finish. A witty son
of Erin in the topmost gallery, getting
tired, yelled:
"'Say, Mr.. Fechter, giveh him check. -"
