Other Countries, Other Terms. Elopement in California is called the “ Pacific slope.” Cause and Effect.—Upon a modest gravestone in Vincennes cemetery appears this plaintive legend “His neighbor played the cornet.” A chirpodist, who had determined to retire to Cornwall, on being asked his reasons therefor, said he thought the best place for a corn-doctor would be among the Cornishmen.
