The London Spectatoi hits a blot in the | proceedings in the Langtry-Raresley case, ‘when it shows that the paper called Town Talk, was only the logical result of other papers of like character, but of greater skill, such as the HVorld, Truth, ete. And it further points out that the origin of all these scandaious papers was in the desire of ‘‘Society” itself to get its gossip im a piquante shape. Town Talk was a chicken that came home to roost.

An old Scotch lady, who had no relish for modern church music, was expressing her dislike for the singing of an anthem in her own church one day, when a neighbor said, ,‘‘ Why that is a very old anthem. David sang that anthem to Saul.” To this the old lady replied, ‘‘ Well, weel, I noo for the first time understan’ why Saul threw his javelin at David when the lad sang for him.” ,

Why is a handsome woman like a loeomo- tive? No—you’re wrong.

The boy stood on the back yard fence, whence al! but him had fied, the flames that lit his tather’s barn shone just above the shed. One bunch of crackers in his hand, two others io his hat, with pittious accent loud he cried, ‘ Luever thought of that!’ A bunch of crackers to the tail, of one small dog he’d tied ; the dog in anguish sought the barn, and mid its ruins died. The sparks flew wide and red and hot, they lit up that brat ; they fired the crackers in his haod and eke those in his hat. Then came a burst of | rattling sound—the-boy! Where was he; gone?

A Bull and Devil Fish The story given below was communicated by a correspondent: ‘‘The author of ‘Skuyukidian,’ who lived some sixty years azo, was once travelling in Muttu, one of tie provinces. Walking one day near the sea beach he heard the bellow of a bull, and went in the direction of the noise. He was then witness of an extraordinary com- bat between some cuttle fish and a bull. An enormous poulpe, with bright purple eyes and tentacles six feet long, had attacked the quadruped. Throwing his arm around the body, the monster tried to ake for the water with his captive. Meanwhile other octopi, in large numbers.and of great size, swarmed on the shore, which seemed to be alive with their big round heads. Some of them, assisting their comrades, soon like him attacked the bull, dragging him down to the sea. Their quarry, however, made a brave resistance, and succeeded in goring its first foe in the head and belly, and shaking itself free from its embrace. Before it could escape, however, it was finally held by a still larger monster, while others took sulicitions care of the, wounded one. The unfortunate beast’s bellowing attracted a crowd of fishermen to the spot. One of these. stronger and braver than his fellows, his limbs swathed in straw bandages, and a sharp knife in his hand, boldly rushed to the rescue of the bull and cut through the tentacles that enclosed it. Other poulpes then attacked the fisher, to whose aid his fellows hastened, aud a fierce fight ensued between men and monsters, in which the former were victorious, many of the squids being killed, while the rest escaped into the water. Two of the tentacles wound round the bull were so heavy that one man alone could not carry them. One was 12 and tlie other 6 feet long ; the larger of the two was subsequently boiled in sections at different times in a big kettle. Some years previous to this battle cattle had disappear- ed in a mysterious may from the same shore. The fight between the cephalopoda and the bull enlightened the proprietors as to the cause of their loss.”—Japan Paper.

Some time since a life of Charles Lever was published, which was chiefly remark- able for its many faults, and for one or two ood stories ; it rather lowered the tone of oa s reckless life, and left the impression of a rather loud and vulgar man of genius with an immense indifference for money, and a perfect craze for flattery. One of his daughters writes to a leading literary paper to say that the work had not the sanction er assistance of Lever’s family, and that it is full of false things, and is written by a man who knew little of the genial novelist. Writing a bad life is almost as bad as living

Some of the English papers accuse Mr. Faweett and Mr. Childers of weakening the Liberal programme, by giving out hints that the Liberals will likely not interfere’ with the Tory policy in foreign affairs, so far as that policy was complete or en train.
