WHO HE WAS.

WHO HE WAS.

A PEBJ3ON of quality was one day walking throug a field when a bull addressed him in an undertone and made for him with its head down and horns in a position to raise him. He was a great official, a man of dignty and power and natural pomposity, but he ran. He ran surprisingly well, and he got to the fence first. He clambered over, out of breath and dignity, and found the owner of the bull calmly contemplating the operation. " what do you meam sir F" asked the irate official. " What do you mean by having an infuriated 'animal like that roaming over the fields?"

"Well, I suppose that the bull has some right in the field " " Right ! right ! Do you know who I am, sir? Do you know who I am !" The farmer shook his head.

"I, sir— am General " •< Why on earth didn't you tell the bull '( "

A man who knows how to speak knows how to be silent.

It is said that if you have presence of mind enough to face a raging bull and look him straight into h*s eyes fie is powerless to do you harm. We tried this expeairuent once and found it worked admirably. The fierce animal tore the ground with his feet and bellowed with all his might ; but something seemed to hold him back like magic, and he did us no injury. Perhaps we ought to add, in order to be correct historically, that the bull was ou the other side of the fence. We never try an experiment of that kind without taking the proper precautions beforehand.
