CUTTINGS FROM AMERICAN PAPERS. Briggs hired a livery horse to take a little exercise. He got more exercise than he wanted, and, as he limped to the side of the road to rest himself, a kind friend asked him What did you come down so quick for ? What did I come down so quick for ? Did you see anything in the air for me to hold on to ?" he said, grimly. An old lady in Texas was taking her first ride in the oars the other day, when the train ran off the track. You fetch up rather sudden, don't ye ? she asked of a bystander, as she brushed the dirt from her garments. A member of Congress having omitted to frank a copy of his speech to the editor of an "obscure sheet in his district, the editor got bome" on him by stating that "the Hon. Mr. —— is entitled to our thanks for courteously refraining from sending us a copy of his late speech on the Chinese question." A miller fell asleep in his mill, and bent forward till his hair got caught in some machinery and almost a handful was pulled out. Of course it awakened him. His first bewildered exclamation was, Hang it wife, what's the matter now ? A debating society out West is discussing the ques- tion whether the last snow was a foot deep or twelve inches high. This country has over 12,000 bicycles, and you're mighty safe, young man, in taking the daughter of a court-plaster maker for an heiress. As a girl, says a Transatlantic paper, was taking leave of a gentleman at her father's house one evening recently, she said to him, "If you ever hear that I am in the habit of allowing my male acquaintances to kiss me good-bye, you mustn't believe it, as I seldom allow such liberties." The close of that interview may be imagined. Happy is the father whose children are so young that he can delude them into the belief that the pro. cession is all there is of the circus. "Is this the place," she asked, as she wandered down by the Fairmont dara, "where a young lady—a beautiful young lady—fell into the water last season, and was rescued by a gallant young man, whom she afterwards married?" He looked at her carefully, estimated her at a square 47, with false teeth, and said—"Yes, ma'am but I don't know how to swim."
