Sir Humphry Davy.

Sir Humphrey Davy married a
widow as peculiar as himself. His
pet affectation was lack of time.
He was always in hurry. He pre-
tended that he had no leisure to
dress himself, and when a change of
linen became necessary he simply
put one shirt over another, like a
Chinaman, until he was known to
have on five or six shirts at time.
Of course he could not wear this
amount of apparel without appreci-
n'ly increasing his size, and his
ads not in the secret were some
-cs surprised to see him fall off in
pparcnt weight 20 pounds in day.
bis wife's great anxiety was to keep
him fit for company, /" but as he did
not care a fig for company she had
no easy task, and domestic discord
was a common thing.

whats In a Title.

1t has been discovered that among
the men of the Royal Irish constab.
ulary there is a baronet. A writer
in the London World gives his name.
1t is Sir Thomas Echlin, the seventh
baronet of the name. Even he, how
ever low as his fortunes seem to
have fallen, is better off than his
uncle, Sir Frederick Echlin, the fifth
baronet, or his father, the sixth bar
onet. The former was q pauper, in
receipt Of parochial relief at Eden
kerry, in Kildare, until he was
granted pension from the Great
ham hospital at Stockton-on- Tees,
while the latter was a superannuat-
ed peasant, living at Killneague, in
the same county, who was support
ed by contributions from his three
sons, the present baronet and his
two brothers, the elder a private in
the life guards and the younger for
merly footman and now station
master. The Echlins number q prel.
ate and judge of more than ordi-
nary eminence among their direct

The story is told by one man---one

went into q combination which made
heavy purchases of pork. They had
