"There is a story current," says the London "Cuckoo," "rhat the late Mr Oarlyle was a terrible domestio tyrant. At breakfast he would come down grumbling, and, glancing at the well spread board, declare the focd to bo unfit for a dog. Mrs Oarlyle thereupon would order the girl to take tho despised viands hack to the kitchen. Presently, when the philosopher was beginning to get desperately hungry, his spouse would order the same dishes to be brought back, which her husband immediately proceeded to devour with infinite relish and without any more ado. No wonder that the sage considered bis wife a greater woman than oither George Sand or George Eliot." An exchange publishes an article headed " How to Tell a Mad Dog." We have nothing to tell a mad dog that we cannot oonimn.nioate by telephone or postal^card.—"Boston Transcript." The Syracuse "Standard" asks—" Will some one tell us what Mrs Langtry's maiden na-nowi'.s? Certainly. Her maiden aim was to marry Mr Langtry.
