' Great Britaiu having annexed the Fiji Islands, and discovering that tbe native population was too numerous U well as too fond of their fellow mcnT on the half shell, made room for English emigrants by landing a few jiiBt coming out with measlei. The disease took hold with wonderful avid ity, and the natives, knowing nothing of its nature, rushed into tho sea to alleviate the heat of the fever, iu con sequence of which there wero soon about 50,000 dead natives. Should it be thought necessary to thin them out still more, small-pox will probably be tried next. Two colored men took refuge under a tree in a violont thunder storm, "Julius, can you pray?" said one. "No, Sam," was the reply; "nebber prayed in my life." "Well, can't you sing a hymn 7" Just then the lightning truck a tree near by, shivering it, when the first speaker exclaimed : "Sco heah, honey, suiuiHu' Migious has got to be done, an' dat mighty suddin' too, 'pose you pass around de hat I" On being asked by one of his fair daughters why the bull -dog's nose is placed so far behind his mouth, tho very reverent gentleman discovers an other instance of the merciful consid eration ever shown by shall we say "Nature V to the humblest of her creatures, and replies : "My love, it is to enable him to breathe more com fortably while he is hanging on to the nose of the bulll" A Western editor exclaim ; "Bos ton needn't attempt to sell any ot her 'shirt bosoms, warranted not to rum ple,' in this locality.

It was dicov ered by the accidental breakage of a pot containing some of the material, a portion of which flowed under a large flagstone, which, being removed, show ed the material to be in form of a plate. This is said to have suggested tie idea of casting the material in plates. Two years ago a Pennsylvania ser vant girl was sent to prison for steal ing two hundred dollars irotn her em ployer. The money was found the other day where be bad hidden it, and now the man offers the girl six dollars as a recompense, and she is willing to settle for ten thousand dollars. "Yes,' you may come again next Sunday evening, but" and she hesi tated. "What is it, darling T II ate I given you pain?" "You didn't mean, to, I'm sure," she responded, "but next time please don't wear one of those collars with the points turning out ward ; they scratch so." A professor who stated that one can not taste in the dark, as nature in tends us to see our food, was discon certed by a student exclaiming, "How about a blind man's dinner?" But he recovered himself and answered, "na ture has provided him with eye-tscth, sir. They were seated at a late dinner when the door bell rung and the ser vant handed a card to Lavender's wife. "Why, good gracious, its our minister and ive been eating onions! she exclaimed. "Never mind," said .Lavender; "you needn t kiss him to day."

Some one suggests that more seats should be placed in the vestibules of churches for the benefit of young men who come to walk homo with the young ladies, and do not w'uh to at tend divine services themselves. An Ohio girl got up the other morn ing to bathe her face in the liquid dew and cut off one of her fingers on an old scytho hidden in the crass. There' always something to mar the senti nicnt.
