JUg -A well-known member of the House ; was preparing to speak at Kennedy’s at ! the Kanieri Forks, -when one of the boys gob up# and said: "Now look here Mr we’ve all read that mighty long speech of yours in the newspapers. If you’ll undertake to shout for all hands, we’ll consent to taka the speech as read.” "All right,” replied the member, "it is a bargain.” Then a solemn-iooking individual got up from a hack seat, and said " filr Chairman, after hearing the very able speech delivered by our member, I have pleasure in proposing a hearty vote of thanks and confidence.” The motion was seconded and carried, amid laughter, and the whole party adjourned to discuss the drinks. That was a sensible way of getting over a very stiff formality# and it is a pity it is not oftener resorted to.
