missing. The man was a riveter ; he was missed from the ship and never came for his wages. the supposition being that he had been riveted up in some part of the vessel. 80 ﬁrmly impressed were some of the men with this idea that they left the ship in consequence: they afﬁrmed that they had heard their departed friend busily engaged riveting in .the middle of the night. The story was believed by many persons in New York, and on one occasion. while the snip was under repair, a diver was signaled to be drawn up. He appeared pale with fright, and declared the ghost of the riveter was busy in the bottom part of the ship; in fact, that he began riveting immediately over his head. Such was the consternation among the divers that they called in the aid of one of the spirit mediums, who are somewhat numerous in the city of New York. The medium came on board the ship, and after an examination declared that the missing man was there both " in body and Spirrt.” For- tunately he (Captain Paton), by pure accident, was enabled to dispel the illusion. Being in a boat near the bows ofthc ship, he discovered that a swivel connected with the moor- ings worked to- and fro. the movement causing a ch-ink or vibration which at times, more especially at night, was heard throughout the vessel. It was this sound which had eon- jured up. in connection with the supposed fate of the unfor- tunate riveter. the phantom whose mysterious doings Spread such consternation on board the big ship.

‘_‘“L -V—

A short time ago a number of gentlemen were conversing in a. hotel not half a dozen miles from Carmarthen. The subject was a political one, and the conduct of John Bright was condemned in very strong terms. ()ne of the company was a rather short gentleman, who did not join in the dis- cussion. and by and by left the room. Calling the waiter to him he-said. “ If any of the gentlemen in the smokeroom ask who I am, tell them that I am John Bright.” “ Yes, sir,” said the waiter. seeing the joke at once. Sure enough, upon his entering the room, the man was asked if he knew who the gentleman was that had left. " The short gentle- man that Went out just now .2 Oh. that is Mr. John Bright, M. P.” The consternation of the party may be imagined, and they were not a whit more comfortable when “ Mr. Bright ” again entered the room. Every one apologised, and the honorable gentleman graciously pardoned them all, remarking that he was so often the subject of calumny that he was quite used to it. The practical joke was not dis- cussed until after the perpetrator had departed.

During the agitation of the reform question in 1832' the cry was for ' the bill, the whole bill. and nothing but the bill.’ A well known Edinburgh conservative. happening at the time to dine at an inn at Perth, was attended by a loquacious waiter, who volunteered his opinion that the de- mand should be rigorously enforced. The guest resolved to punish him for his forwardncss. and. on the dinner bill being brought, gave him the exact amount. ' Oh, sir.’ said the waiter, ‘ do you allow nothing for myself?’ ‘ Not a penny,’ was the reply. ‘ I am, like yourself, for the bill, the whole bill and nothing but the bill.’

Sm WALTER RALEIGH- :AN‘D Tﬁs Plan—Tobacco became fashionable through Sir Walter Raleigh ; but by the caution he took in smoking it privately, it is clear he did not wish to have the custom imitated. But sitting one day with a pipe in his month, he inadvertently called for some small beer. The fellow coming into the room threw all the liquor into his master’s face, and running down-stairs, called out, “ Help—help! Sir Walter has studied till his head is on ﬁre, and the smoke bursts out at his mouth and nose.”
