A DOG AND A PARROT TIME.

1.-TWO worthy wives mutually sued each other for what they called libel before the Correctional Chamber" says the Paris correspondent of theLondon Telegraph. Plaintiff No. 1, being asked to state her case, said it all came about owing to a parrot. The bird had a vicious disposition, and it's mistress (the defendant) egged it on to be even worse than it was by nature. The plaintiff could not put her head out of the window without the bird shouting opprobrious epithets at her and gene rally libeling her character Before de- ciding this case the judge said he would hear the other, whereupon the second complain of was her neighbours dog It had been taught to bark at her when- ever she went out, and so maliciously clever was the animal that at the insti- gation of it's mistress it actually hreW stones at her window panes by tossing them up with ts paws. By this time the people in court were convulsed with laughter, but the judge remained ser- ous. In commenting upon the two cases he pointed out that neither action had been correctly described as a suit for libel. Then he rendered his deci- sion, which was worthy of a Solomon. One of the plaintiffs, he said, should have prosecuted the dog, the other should have cited the parrot. Both &C., tions having been wrongfully institu- ted, he should, therefore, dismiss them both."
