WI of Hnrnn TonIse.

II Is said that Horne Tooke who ex-
celled in that duelllkc controversy ex-
hibited by two disputants when pitted
against each other with only the
breadth Of mahogany board between
them, was exceedingly quick and sharp
at retort. When he made his most
deadly thrusts, 1t was with smiling
countenance and without seeming ef-
fort or emotion. Replying to a man
who contended that only landowners
should be allowed to vote at elections,
he said, Pray tell me how many acres
does 1t take to make a wiseacre"
When asked by George III. whether he
ever played cards, he replied, II can.
not, your majesty tell king from n
knave." What can be more uniquely
comic than his saying to his brother:
you and l, my dear brother, have In.
verted the laws of nature. You have
risen in the world by your gravity, and
have fallen by my leSityI"-Saturday

Her Friday Excursions ON the sweet

Friday is the only day on which
Turkish women enjoy n little liberty
and release from the dreadful seclusion
in which they are always kept, and
they nUs not slow to avail themselves
Of the chance. ON Fridays every one
goes to the Sweet Waters of Asia,
which consist of small river running
about two miles inland, with trees and
meadows on each side. Hundreds of
boats assemble and glide up and down
the river. Every boat or Caique has
two or more Turkish ladies on board.

The following story, told by the
Washington Post, leads us to wonder
which to condemn first, the boaster or
his critics. II concerns a certain man
who has q large collection of auto
graphs.
Indeed, the envy and sometimes the
skepticism OF his friends have been ex-
cited by the number Of successful au-
thors who have set down familiar and
flattering inscriptions in his books.
Some carpers have even gone so far
as TO hint darkly at similarity Of
handwriting throughout the collection.

of Chaucer, and one evening when a
