CALIFORNIAN CHERRIES.
A Californian was visiting at Boston once, and some flno cherries, rather oarly one*, were placed upon the table. The Bostonian plumed himself upon this, and said, " Thoee aro fine cherries." " Well," assented the Californian, " they are pretty tidy cherries, I must say." The othor said, " You have not got cherries like these in California ;" but for a time he could elicit no answer. Presently he j returned to the charge. " You have not got j cherries liko theso in California. Now what would you pay for such cherries as theso ?" He was floored in a moment by one massive itroke. " Well," said tho Californian, "if you must know that, it depends. In California, if you take a whole cherry, you can get tbim cheaper."
