I TT DON'T PAY TO BE IMPOLITE. A man dining in a Sydney hotel the othei day hit his neighbour with his elbow and j didn't apologise, and pretty soon the neigh- ) hour jabbed his elbow into the offender's ' ribs, and the latter said,'' You think you're 1 mighty smart, don't yer ?" and then, prej. tending to cut his meat, drove a dig into ) the other. And .then —oh what a scene there was. The worthy proprietor of oar ' boss fighting establishment would haw i come down handsomely for such a display at his shop of a Saturday evening. It took 1 four waiters, the clerk, and half-a-dozen 1 buckets of water to get them apart after they had clinched. They had to pay £5 a-piece for broken crockery and furniture; i and, only for a liberal application of St ' Jacobs Oil, their sides -would have been ! too stiff and sore for them to have swal i lowed another dinner for the next fortnight | A DUCAL OPINION. i A leading jeweller, in speaking of the very handsome cut of the Waterbury Watch 1 Company which appeared in a recent issue [ of the Roview, gave your correspondent the i following little incident illustrating the > popularity and high estimation in which [ the American low-priced watches are hew in England. He says : " While in England ) last summer I happened to be in the vicinity > of Eaton Hall, Chester, one of the country I seats of the Duke of Westminster, where i there was a meeting of yeomanry and some » 200,000 people assembled. All were n> 1 dulging in games and festivities, the Duke being present in person and mingling freely ; with the others, when His Grace was ac ) costed by one of his friends, who remarked > that- there were reported to be seven.' 1 E ickpockets present, and that he had , etter look out for his watch. The Duke ) laughingly replied that he was grateful tor ' the warnine, as he had a watch which he valued highly, although of small cost, and > that he would hate to part with it, at a» same time pulling out a handsome \\ aterbury. The master of the hounds informed me that he wore the watch in preference to all others." This endorcement from one J of the nobility whose income is TOO.IW i dollars per annum is not bad for an Amenaan product. This is authentic, and is not i en advertisment.—Jeweller's Review.
