A hart's leap more marvellous than the one Wordsworth celebrated was that of a hotly pursued deer in Caithness, Scotland, recently, from a headland 180 feet high into the North Sea.

A lady calls the little memorandum her butcher sends in with the meat, "pencillings by the weigh." Sanitary. When a man becomes rich with " dirty money," nobody should regret it if he gets cleaned out. Hallway collisions don't pay in England, so far as the companies are concerned. A London correspondent writes that it is the opinion of at least one official of the London and Northwestern Railway Company that the recent accident at Harrow will cost not much less than £IOO,OOO in damages. Why must a line drawn by a pen always be on a slope ?—Because it's always on theink-linc(inoline). — Judy.
