JUST LIKE HIM.

♦ ■— According to a oontemporarv, the rela*er of the subjoined anecdote "is said to be the " inimitable Thatcher " ivho a few years' ago, was giving concerts in this colony.—The negro minstrel, Thatcher, the other evening told a ludicrous story to a big audience, and put a catch phrase into the mouth of Tndian-. apolians that has kept them laughing ever since. Two sailors, Avho had a parrot Avith them,.Avent into a magician's show man upper room in some foreign city. The three constituted the audience. After each feat of the magician's, one of the sailors would remark, " That's pretty good — wonder what they'll do next."—Finally, one of the sailors asked permission to smoke," Avhich the magician granted, forgetting. that in the room beneath Avas stored an immense quantity of gunpowder. The Jack tars a^d the parrot continued to enjoy the d low, one sailor adding the pleasure of his pipe, and the other re-" marking after each trick, " That's pretty -good; wonder what, they'll do next"

A spark from the smoker's pipe chanced to drop through a crack in the floor into the powder, and SOmethino* Sllddfenlv ; occurrßlJ.
