An American paper, in noticing the presentation of a silver cup to a contemporary, says: — •He needs no cup. He can drink from any vessel that contains liquor — whether the neck of a bottle, the mouth of a demijohn, the spile ox a keg, or the bung ot a barrel.' ' Am I not a little pale ? ' inquired a lady who was short and corpulent, of a crusty old bachelor. ■You look more like a big tub ! ' was the blunt reply. ' I say, Jim,' said one friend to another, ' I hear that our friend A. has be--n in the oil specu ation lately; has he made anything ?' ' Oh, yes,' said Jim, * he has made an assignment.'
