MARK TWAIN'S HOTEL.

™ Havinp lately hired a hashery, I send you these as my rules and regulations : This house shall be considered strictly inn-temperate. None but the brave deserve the fare. Persons owing bills for board will be bored for bills, Boarders who do not wish to pay in advance are requested to advance and pay. Boarders are expected to wait on the colored cooks for meals. Boarders are requested to pull off their boots before retiring, if they can do so conveniently. Sheets will be changed once in six months, or more if necessary. Double boarders can have two beds with a room in it, or two rooms with a bed in it, just as they choose. Beds with or without bugs. All money and valuables to be left , in the care of the proprietor: this is ■gl jftksisfced on, as he will be responsible no other loss. Inside matters will not be furnished for editors under any consideration, Relatives coming to make a six months' visit will be welcomed, but when they bring their household furniture, virtue will cease to bo a forbearance. Dreams will be charged for by the dozen. Nightmares hired out at reasonable rates.

LEG BEFORE WICKET.

Regarding the cable information that the County Cricket Clubs Council in England, has resolved by eleven votes to three "That a batsman is out if any part of his person in a straight line between the wickets stop a ball that would have hit the wicket," the New Zealand Referee says:—This lus given great satisfaction in cricketing circles in England, as a great many batsmen there had learnt to play all the most difficult balls that .™broke with their legs, thus giving the batsman a very great advantage over |m| the bowlers. The most notable exponents of the leg style of play are Shrewsbury, Cotton, and K.J. Key. It is thought by this rule that a lot of time will be saved, as the bowler will now get wickets when ho sends down a good leg break, I expect that ihe number of trundlers who bowl round the wicket will rapidly increase, and in futuio bowling over the wicket will be the exception, not the rule. The cable states that the rule has been passed by the County Cricket Council, but wo supposo it will have to be adopted by the "House of Lords"— the Marylebone Club before it becomes law.
