Remarkable Eloquence.

Here is part of an actual speech de-
livered in an Indian court of law by
pleader: What they say is very, If not
most, ridiculously absurd to believe.
Indeed, it is incredulous. They say
that the blood flew, and they did moth
ing to put the wounded into ease. This.
sir, is lie, an unmitigated lie-or
rather falsehood, or fable, or story,
or, as Byron sarcastically observes, a
terminal exactitude. These buffaloes
never used to Craze on the field, which
is not actually even proper grazing
meadow. The destination which they
started was half mile from the Gym
osure to which they went. Unless they
did not ride on lightning horses, how
could they reach to that premises in
five minutes? Can any man-idiot
even-will not believe such a stupid
concoctation."

thousand different directions, and was

count went into raptures as her
maiden reflection rippled over the
pearly waters" He cried: "Eet iss

such moon in all Italy!" Count"

the occasion, you just ought to see
