Some people have curious tastes. We ace that a llelo gian newspaper contains an advertisement from a lady, who says that she in desirous of wcln ’M American gentleman who the had remarked looke “like a dead man." The name paper contains an advertisement from the ghostly-looking gentleman. expressing n don-re to meet the lady. is'u there is good reason to hope that she will cuccccd in obtaining another view oi her corpse-like admirer.

In cl than when smuggling was common in England. a shoe color in London was in the habit of selling boots of French manufacture at a very much lower price than any one else could ail‘ord to dispose of them. and yet no one could bring against him the charge of "haggling. It was long before the secret was discovered. but it was found at last that in each 01 the high heels of tho bcots was a rarity con. taining a watch. which had escaped duty. and ho was thus enabled to sell boots lower than any one else.

St. Marlo. the man who betrayed hie comrade. Sur- rntt, has written to the American Government from Montreal. saying that he (rave the lniortnstion in the hope 01 receiving the 025,000 reward which was offered tor the capture oi J. 11. Surratt. but that hebas not vet secured a single cent. and is in a most miserable plight. compelled to live under an assumed name. and duapisod and shunned by all who know who he really is.

A number of meetings have been held In tllil‘ercnt ports of England for-tho purpose of agitating for the re- peui or the tax on shepherd's tie-rs: the principle on which the repeat it to be asked is that the dog of it chop- herd is his Working tool, and ahould therefore be exempt. as the tools of other working men were untaxed.
