Khjjno Receptions at Coubt.?In an article upon the last drawing-room, a London paper complains of the court etiquette which requires thatnn the mid? dle of the day, shivering ladies should appear before royalty with bare shoul? ders. The Queen, it is said, insists strongly that old as well as young ladies should come to court with naked shoul? ders, and makes exceptions only in the case of two or three to whom affliction has rendered such exposure virtually impossible. The remark has often been made, that some delicate woman is gen? erally killed at every drawing-room, owing to the drafts and chills suffered whilst standing about in the big rooms and cold corridors of St James. He left the spelling bee at 10 o'clock, and stopped in a saloon on his way home. Hero he met several friends who "set 'em up" divers timos, and he reached home about midnight with a confused brain and a very demoralized Eair of legs. Then ho sworo that somo ody had stolen tho key-hole, but his wife, with a fearful scowl on her brow and a lamp in hor hand, admitted him. '?Drunk!" she exclaimed. "D-r-u-n-c Obic) drunk. Thoz eazynuftV' "Bruto!" .*'B-r-o-o-t (hie); give ub harder one." "Idiotl" "Thaz harder (hie,) but I kin -ppeUum. I-d?I-d-g?I-d-g-t, idiot. Now give us a stunner .(bio). She picked - up a poker and gave him a "Htunner" and spelling bee adjourned sine die. m ? > When a man bands an editor an artiole for publication, and asks him to "fix it up. because he "wrote it in a hurry" and "hadn't time to revise it," you may know that, he commenced the artiole di? rectly after supper, and wrestled with it until midnight rewriting it fourteen times, destroyed a quire of foolscap and ??'blessed" bis pen every two minutes. 'That's the way they generally write an article when they are "in a hurry" and | have "no time to revise it" Carpets are bought by the yard and Worn by the foot ,.
