A printer's towel fell out of a third story window in a New Jersey town, the other day, and cracked a paving stone. The crash was heard two blocks away, and a little boy ran home, with white lips and trembling limbs, to tell his mother that he had seen " a negro man tumble off the roof and explode his head." " How old are you ?" said a magistrate to a German arraigned before him. " I am dirty." " And how old is your wife P" Mine wife is dirtytwo." " Then sir, you are a dirty couple, and I wish to hare nothing further to do with either of yon." An Irishman says if the Naida were constantly bathing, he presumes, from their name, the Dryads were the ones who brought the towels.
