SLING AND STONE.

French and English agree not to fight ■\]>ont nothing ! Goiug to settle about some v. rclchcd bit of swamp on the African coast without a war ! Increasing wisdom of the world when t^o great nations don't jjr> to war a l )out a place no one ever heard of b?forc ! Two Italian atates once went to war about w bucket ! Salisbury sidiug agaiust the Bulgarians ! Dou't believo a word of it ! That's some bin: dor in the telegraphing ! Writ issuing engine got in blast again ! All the disreputable-bankruptlawyer-rogue element feel it high time to make a bii.' combined effort to hit their censor ! Brass and Bawl leading, aud offering to do ail the legal work gratis out of puie love and affection for their critic ! Good reason why — could not raise a fee among them, therefore no use making a charge ! Libel writs and summonses flying about like leaves in autumn ! Quito like old times when Bawl used to shower out a dozen an hour ! Committee sit on each isuie of their critic and deputations go round to stir up injured innocents to bring actions ! Going to have lively times and lots of fun! Who's the Binning legal light that's got in hoi; water again ? What a needless question ! The same old party of course ! What's it all about? Oh. the old, old tale, bul; you'll hear all about it presently ! Well, don't abuse 'em too much ! You'd have nothing else to talk about if t'wa^n't for them ! Their little funtiyisni3 are a windfall in dull times ! One funny man got a little check to day, did 'nt he? Yes, a little jar ! Found ho could not run with the hare and chase with the hounds .' Rather poor show for his little bill now ! William JJrown not come back ! But le<jdl adviser has ! And he says it's all light ! Sonic money has come, and there's more to follow i As niau said when lie saw the anaconda's head coining through the window ! And William will uot be back for a fortnight ! Aud then the money will really come .' Aim,
