The Nova Scotiam" Giantess. — "We have been to see Miss Anna Swan, and we like her very much — as a show. We like her about twice as much as we dote on ordinary women. Miss Swau is eight feet and some odd inches long ; she is therefore entitled to, and has use for more affection than a common woman. We have roughly estimated her capacity, and judge that she can stow away about thrice the love that the average man is capable of lavishing upon his wife, and at least twice the amount he can turn out for the wife of his neighbor. It is well she is not here for the purpose of marrying. If she should decide upon wedding any one, it is difficult to comprehend how he could prevent it, and, all things considered, she is not just the fellow that a merely mortal bachelor would care to take into his bosom. Matrimony with her would be constructive polygamy. Besides, it would be inconvenient for a business man who has to be at the office by 8 o'clock. He would be compelled to breakfast by gas light in order to finish his parting embrace in time for the last car. Embracing a woman is always more or less pleasant, but doing it by sections is apt to become tedious. Nor is it agreeable to clamber atop of the woodshed every time one wishes a kiss. For the sake of humanity we implore Miss Swan to cling to the show business, renounce all thoughts of altering any man's condition, keep her face, clean and be a good little girl Bft. in length. — American Paper. They say that when a bill to appropriate 5000 dols. for the Lunatic Asylum in a Southern State was before the Legislature, a dusky member arose and said : — " Mr Speaker, I does tink dat de lunics had ort to be took care ob. I knows a cullered man in my county dat got shot and mortally wounded, and is a cripple for life, an dat man is now living in my county and had ort to be helped."
