went TO Tripoli and Tunis, where there
are Haussa colonies. and then by way
OF the Niger and the BenUe reached

HauSsa grammar ard manuscripts con-
tanning history and historical and re-
lgious songs. The Haussa is the most

A Dog and His Master.

A dog was once the cause of a rep
resentation Of King Lear coming to
precipitate end. In Garrick's time
dogs were not SO vigorously excluded
from theaters as they are now; and on
this particular night there happened to
be fat beadle in his wig, accompanied
by bulldog, sitting close up against
the stage. The beadle had sat through
four acts and two scenes of the fifth,
but, being more affected by the heat
than by Garrick's acting, had fallen in
to peaceful slumber. The point in
the third scene had been reached when
Lear enters with Cordelia dead in his
arms, and exclaims, "Howl, howl, howl,
howl! Oh, you are men of stone!' and
so forth. Garrick had deposited the
PROSTATE Cordelia on a couch, and was
proceeding with his lament when the
Duke of Albany was perceived to be
choking with laughter. A moment la
ter the Earl Of Kent was similarly af-
fected At the same time MI the by
ISLANDERS began to litter and giggle, and
even King Lear himself stopped in his
speech and. was observed to smile
Meanwhile the dead Cordelia opened

It affords genuine pleasure to learn
that there are parts Of the country IN
affected by the present financial and
industrial depression. The following,
taken from a trustworthy contempor-
airy in Georgia, may be considered as
authentic: Reports from various
counties in the State show that farmers
and residents generally have little to
complain of this winter. While the
season has been unusually severe and
the State has not escaped the depres-
sion common to the whole country, yet
nobody is suffering from hunger.
There is plenty of hominy and corn,
and Georgia hogs have not been fatter
since we can remember" Hunger in
Georgia! Appetites going unappeased
with hominy, corn and hog in plenty!
What is more succulent than hominy
cake? Nothing in the whole art of
cookery, lest it be corn dodgers and
hog; Or what is more likely, hoecake,
with a piece Of Georgia bacon along
side. Who, we ask Of titled chefs,
would order cinci, or henriettes, or
crullers, when he could have hoecake,
patted by Mammy's hand and fried on
a griddle fabricated with the fat of
Georgia shote? We are assured on I'M
Improbable authority that the Hon.
Hoke Smith discusses each morning be-
fore going to the department of the in
terror six steaming hOecakeS and q
gOOdlV norton Of a hog of unbrOken
Georgia lineage. And every Georgia
poet nibbles refectively at snowy hon-
my cakes as he weaves his rhymes.
Glorious Georgia.! Happy, contented
well-fed Georgians! Though the world
be troubled with famine, pestilence and
bond issues, there is plenty of corn and
hominy on hand, and the hogs have not
been. fatter since we can remember
Hog and hominy for one! Make it two!

Kingdom and brought to land. Both
of these perquisites date back to the
days of the Norman kings, and it ap-
pears that in the case of the whale the
monsters were divided between the
sovereign and his consort, the queen
taking the head in order that her ward
robes might be replenished with the
whalebone needed for the stifening of
her royal garments. Every year a
number of magnificent cashmere
shawls are despatched to her from the
kingdom of Cashmere. Every tailor
holding O patent Of ''purveyor to her
majesty" If he conforms to ancient
tradition and usage, should present her
with a silver needle each year. An
other class of royal puryeyors is called
upon to present to her annually a TIA
blecloth, while from other sources again
she is entitled to an annual contribution
of currycombs, fire tongs, scarlet no
siery, nightcaps, knives, lances and
crossbows. These are only few OF
the perquisites to which the queen is
entitled by tradition and usage.
