MISCELLANEOUS.
A Pipe of Tobacco.—Mr. James Tanner, who does a little popular speaking at election times in Kendal, disposed' of the ultra-Radical argument against royal dowries by reducing the question to " a pipe of tobacco —" They were going to give the Duke" of Edinburgh £25,000 a year. That seemed a large sum, but if they reckoned it up, they would find it cost exactly a pipe of tobacco per annum from every man that smokes in the three kingdoms. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) There'was not a single .man who agreed with him in the delightful habit'of smoking, who, if he were to meet Prince Alfred on the road,' would not give him a pipe of tobacco." (Laughter).
A curious law point has arisen in New York. A man," his wife, and daughter all perished in a fire recently, and now, before the property of the deceased can be divided according to the law of entail, it is necessary to decide whether the wife or daughter died first.
