“ Dawson, l should like to get a retriever,” said 
the Duke of St. Albans to the great London trainer 
of race-horses, at the close of tho racing season.

Grace," replied Dawson. “ I don’t want a dog."

One of the most astonished boys of the period 
lives In Romlout, and may be kuown aa B. J. It 
smith. He had heard that powder would burn, and

Proor that Abraham Lincoln was In 1858, a rail¬ 
road deadhead,exists In the following letter written 
by him, on file lu the Chicago and Alton Compa¬ 
ny's office: “SaysSam to John, ‘Here’s your old 
rotten wheelbarrow. I've broken It usin’ on It., I 
wish you ;would take It and mend It, 'case 1 shall 
want to borrow It this afternoon." Acting on this 
as a precedent,, here’s your old * chalked hat.’ I 
wish you .would take .It and seud mo ft new one.”

pass. 
The great historical painter of the Revolution 
and tho First Empire, David, once publicly exhib¬ 
ited a picture of large dimensions, one of the prin¬ 
cipal figures In which was an unbridled horse. 
With tho pardonable vanity of an artist, he min¬ 
gled with the crowd gathered before the painting. 
The spectators, with one exception, expressed un¬ 
bounded admiration. The exception was a hack¬ 
ney coachman, who exclaimed disdainfully: “A 
precious painter, this David, to pretend to paint 
horses! Why, he’s got one of hts jaws all over 
foam, and ne'er a hit between his teeth I” 
In view of the tact that our Canadian filends are 
about to be blessed with ft vicarious sort ol Royal 
Court, It may be of Interest to know that a new 
species of scandal lias turned up In England. A

man’s bill by presenting his wife at court, an honor 
of wlilch she was most ambitious, but which eti¬ 
quette forbids to the wife or daughter ot a shop¬ 
keeper, however wealthy, refined, or well con¬ 
nected. At the List moment the Chamberlain 
found out who she was and refused to receive her. 
The lady says she performed her part of the con¬ 
dition. The tradesman has sued for his bill.
