HOAXING THE LATINISTS. Perhaps one of the best of the numerous class of sham Latin inscriptions was that which appeared some time ago in a Dublin paper. It was in antique " Latin " as follows : " I sabylle haereff ctgo, fortibus es in aro. Nobile Thisbe forte trux, se voticinem . . . pes and dux. This purported to have been founc near the site of a church dedicated to " the saint known to the old :hroniclers as Uncatus Ambulanus." The " Latin " inscription was ic reality an absurd rhyme I say, Billy ! here's a go ; Forty busses in a row. No, Bitty, this be. forty trucks ; See jot is in 'em—peas and ducks.
