The Humorous Governor.

When Wolcott was governor of Mas.
sachusetts his youngest son, Oliver,
was In one of the primary classes Of
a school. The teacher was one day
asking questions of her little pupils, to
give them chance to show what they
knew about one thing and another, for
the enterta inment Of a lady who was
visiting the school, and she finally in
quired:
Can any one tell me who is the gov.
ernor of Massachusetts?
No one could tell, not even little
Oliver.
The teacher then told every one of the
pupils when he got home to ask his
father, SO as to be ready to tell her the
next day. Accordingly when the class
assembled the following morning she
gave out the question, calling on Oliver
to see what he might have to say about
1t. Oliver answered:
PA says he's the governor. But
don't believe it, cause he's always
making fun of everythin'."

Equal to TIE Occasion.

Michelot, the famous comedian. suf

colleagues and found it necessary tt
be On the alert at every performance
On certain occasion he had to scold q
servant in one of Monere's plays, wher
the "claque," which had been bribed
by his rivals, began to hiss.
Michelot was by no means discon
certed. Giving the servant a couple OF
blows on the ear not included in the
part, he extemporized as follows:
you vile scamp of a varlet. there is
nothing you think of! There you stand
quietly listening to the vermin squeak
ing in the house and never trouble
yourself to get the rat poisonw
The effect of this sally was striking
The audience broke out in loud ap
plause. and no subsequent attempt wa;
made TO hiss the actor.
