y It was Ii. 1847 that Hicks first made
1 county name AS u witty. raconteur.
In that year Sir Samuel Spry. who had
been member for Bodmin since che
great reform bill, lost his seat and In
a petulant mood took legal proceedings
against Hicks on the ground that he
had abused his official position to In
fluence voters at ,i.'e poll In the
course Of the tria Kicks was called
upon to state what he had to say in
his defense. :, In the course OF Ills state.
ment he asked leave of the court to
illustrate his position by O story. His
request being assented to, he related
how a few days previously he had
been to see lad whom he knew well
who was laid up from a fall from a
vicious donkey, which had kicked out
oil his front teeth. The lad, said
Hicks, had taken the matter in the
most kindly way and had said to him,
"'Tisn't the fall, Mr.. Hicks, and 'tisn't
the vally Of the teeth what annoys
me, but it's the nashty. CHASTITY,
wishous disposition Of the jackass"
Sir Samuel Spry sprans up in the
well Of. the court in fury and ex-
claimed, 'He, has called me a jack

laughter. and Hicks was promptly and
fully acquitted Of the trumpery charge

Some Stanq Words.

A remarkable fact is that many slang
words have a classical origin. For
example, the word mill" a vulgarism
for a fight, is traceable to the Greek
word "hamilla," which means a COM
bat i q.
"Uncle," the affectionate term for a
pawnbroker, is derived from the Latin
s'uncus," a hook on which the article
pledged was hung.
To go before "the beak" is distinct
reference to the old Roman custom OF
adjoining the platform from which JUS
tice dispensed with the beaks OF ships,
which platform came to be called the
rostrum, that being the Latin for a
