It was known that the Neapolitan Bourbonists had their central agency in the apartments occupied by one of their number in the Palazzo Valdembrini. The Committee wished to lay its hands on the papers of this knot of royalist conspirators. One night these Neapolitan nobles, who, like all their countrymen, are addicted to cards, were disturbed in their nightly play by the appearance of Papal gendarmes, who said that they had orders to seize and carry to the police office all papers in the 25 W 11 42 26 T 11 38 10 49 5 515 51 27 F 11 34 11 40 5 52 5 49 28 S 11 30 29 39 11 26 30 M 11 22 2 9 57 5 50 5 53 ev. 29 5 53 5 47 7 0 0 2 5 545 46 5 54 5 44 sets 6 27 7 2 8 85 525 51 sets 8 47 5 53 5 50 6 28 1 18 5 54 5 46 65 56 5 44 MONTEITH gave miserable dinners, and Winton refused scores of his invitations; but at last, in an hour of weakness, he was induced to accept. The fare proved, as he expected, of the very worst, and as the cloth was removed, the host remarked, "Now the ice is broken, when will you invite me to dine with you?" " To-day, if you please," replied the still hungry guest. "DOES the razor take hold well?" inquired the barber, as he cut away on the bleeding cheek of his suffering victim. "Yes," groaned the martyr, "it takes hold first rate, but it don't let go worth a cent." 9 30 5 545 48 7 4 7 37 10 12 5 55 5 46 7 40 THE Soleil publishes the following anecdote concerning the Emperor of Austria while out shooting:-" His Majesty is always attended by a captain of the Guards, whose duty it is to observe the effect of each shot and announce it. The Emperor, for instance, strikes a partridge. 'Partridge!' cries the captain. Next time it is a buck. 'Buck!' shouts the captain. One day the Emperor fired, missed his game, and wounded one of the gentlemen of his suite. The latter on being struck uttered an exclamation.

"Done!" said Kolloch, "done!" and, assuming a decent gravity for the moment, summoned his memory to aid him in his novel, but certainly very commendable, effort. "Ahem! a-a-hem! ah! now I have it: "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep; "Well, I give up, beat," said Macarty, paying over the money; "I wouldn't have thought you could do it." A pair of them, to be sure; for neither of them knew it. "Do you think I shall have justice done me?" said a culprit to his counsel, a shrewd Kentucky lawyer of the best class in that "eloquent State." "I am a little afraid that you won't," replied the other; "I see two men on the jury who are opposed to hanging." THE Merchant's Patron Saint-St. Leger. |
