Edmondson, Saltney—  A SHAKESPERIAN critic, worn out by the fretting of his first-horn, named him Macbeth, muttering as he did so: "Macbeth bath murdered sleep." LrrrLE boy—" Papa, are sailors very small men?" Papa—"N o, my son; why do you think they are?" Little Boy—" Because I read the other day that a sailor went to sleep on his watch!" "I DIDN'T like to stay among the Arizona Indians, they'ee so fond of cremation," said a returned explorer. "What difference did that make ? " asked a friend. "Why you see," was the reply, "they don't wait for a fellow to die before they cremate him !"  AT a wordan's convention in Milwaukie, a gentleman remarked that a woman was the most wicked thing in creation. "Sir," was the indignant reply of one of the ladieS, "woman was made from man, ;and if one rib is so wicked, what must the whole ,lbody be?" I A GOOSE that sees another drink will do the same, though he his not thirsty. The custom for drinking for company, when drinking is dispensable and prejudicial, seems to be a CASS of the same 'kind, and to put a man, featheronly excepted, upon la footing with a goose. At a public meeting in a country town an eloquent advocate of popular education thus delivered ,himself :—" Mr. Chairman, I rise to get up, and am not backward to come forward in the cause of education ; for had it not been for education, I should be as ignorant as you are, Mr. Chairman." The legislature of Illinois having proposed to pass a bill requiring hotel-htepers to furnish every room above the second.atorey wiith a rope ladder, as a tire escape, the landlords hit back by sayinz, that it !was a mere device on the part of the legislators to enable them to slip away from their hotel-rooms without paying their bills. A city man, who had just moved into the country, was trying to milk the cow, his wife standing by and locking on admiringly,. After a time, the husband exclaimed: "Oh, dear! I wish I knew how long cows onght to be milked!" "Why' the same as the short ones, my love," said his with an air of superior wisdom. THERE are two periods in every mau's life when he feels, deep down in his heart, that if the eartn was to open and swallow him up, it would be a pleasure to him. One is when he steals upstairs with the old man's razor to take his first shave, and the other is the first Sunday in a high hat.  ,r BLACKPOOL :—Printed and Published at the EItRALD Office, 12, Central Beach, by W.
