138 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCEK. 
some moral, reminds us necessarily of 
the argumentative Frenchman, who was 
proving most convincingly some knotty 
point, but a friend, who had listened 
to him patiently for some time, inter- 
posed at last, “ But, Monsieur, I beg 
your pardon, your proposition is hardly 
tenable.” “ Mais comment ?” “The 
facts. Monsieur, will not bear out your 
explanation, — they are dead against 
you.” “ Den so much de vorse for 
de facts,” replied the Frenchman, with 
a shrug of his shoulders, expressive of 
contempt and pity for the unfortunate 
facts !
