MISCELLANEOUS.
—o— No dust effects tho eyes like gold dust, and no glasses like brandy glasses. “ I love thee ‘ still,”’ as the quiet husband said to his chattering wife. A Londoner, who lately crossed from Canada to Ogdensburgh, asked his hackneydriver as to the population and form of government of Ogdensburgh. On being informed that it was an incorporated city, the chief executive officer of which was a Mayor, he inquired, “ And does the Maj'or wear the insignia of office ?” “ Insignia what’s that ?” asked the astonished hack-ney-man. “ Why, a chain about his neck” explained the Cockney. “ Oh, bless you, no,” responded the other; he’s perfectly harmless, and goes [about loose.” The Times of India, reporting the success of the expedition against the Nagas, says: —All the Naga villages south of the Dillee River engaged in the massacre have now been destroyed, amounting to 1500 houses inhabited by 10,000 souls. They have lost about forty killed and wounded, and an immense quantity of grain live stock, and other property.
