% | , HUMOKISTS OLIO. ft GarrotingWhile upon the subject of garrot* ing, a most extraordinary instance came to our knowledge the other day. A gentleman who resides not over a thousand miles from the upper part of the fourth avenue, New York, was preparing to make his nsual visit to Wall street, in the morning, when his little son?a youngster about five years of age?approached him and inquired : "Pa, what do those bad men do when they garrote people I" " Why, my son , replied the fond parent, who was delighted at the boy's inquiring turn of mind, and felt anxious to give him all the information in his power, " why, my son, as far as I can understand, they come upon the victim suddenly, placo one arm about Ills IieCKt U1UII Siup UIB U1UUVII, aiiu take whatever they can from him." "They are bad fellows, ain't they?" said the boy. "They are so," replied the fond parent, " desperate fellows I But they're very soverly punished when they'ro caught. Judge Russell sent two of them to the State prison for life, only a short time ago." " Yes," answered the urchin,"with a severe look ;" yon always thought Mr. Jones was a good man, didn't you, pa ?" "Yes, my son," was the reply, "a very good man." " Well, he's a garroter," repli.d the boy. " What do yon mean, my son ?" asked the parent. "Why," answered tlio boy, "he garroted mother last night while you was away. lie caught her right round the neck with one arm, and stopped her mouth with his mouth, and she said lie stole a kiss from her; that's all I know about it!" Fve minutes after, the proud father was seen making rapid tracks for a lawyer's office. What will come of it, remains to be seen. Some nine years since, a letter was received in New Orleans, directed to "the biggest fool in New Orleans."? The postmaster was absent, and on his return, one of the young clerks in the office informed hitn of the receipt of t.liA lwltflr " And what became of it?" inquired the postmaster. "Why," replied the clerk, "I didn't know who tho biggest fool in New Orleans was, and so I opened the letter myself." "And what did you find in it?" inquired tho postmaster. " Why," replied the clerk, " noth ing but tho words4 thou art the man.'" " How old are you, Bridget?" 6nid a getleinan to his servant girl 44 About hfty, sir,,' replied Bridget. 44 You are mistaken, Bridget, 3*011 are not over twenty." 44 Yes, sir, this is it. I'm about twenty or fifty, somewhere along there." This answer indicates about the same degree of intelligence as that of an old gray-headed negro in South Carolina : 44 How old are you Pete ?" said a gentleman to hiui one day. 441 dnnna, Mass, I feels berry old, 'spect I'se about five or six l^undred." Mr. G , a clergyman of a neighboring town, being recently absent from home, on business, his little son, a lad of lour years, calmly folded his hands, and asked the blessing as usually pronounce by his father at their morning meal. At noon, being asked to prouncee the blessing, he replied, with a grave lace, "No, I don't like tho looks of them taters 1" The following is too good to be lost: " A . lady, formerly a resident of Georgia, very much discontented with Mississippi life, and longing to return to her native land, was shouting at camp-meeting last }*ear, and became so excessively happy that she exclaimed : " Glory to G?d, I feel like-I was in Geor gy !" A Basiifol Lady.?An Irish lady wrote to her lover, begging him to send her some money. She added, by way of postscript, I am so ashamed of] ? "> T Ihii-a iniuln in tliia Inltor that I sent after the postman to get it back, but the servant could not overtake him." 44 Well," said a soft-hearted, blundering Jonathan, the other day," Snkc has gin me the sack, bv gravy 1 I've lost her." 44 Lost her?now I" inquired his sympathizing friend. 44 I laid the soft soap 011 her so thick, that the critter j$ot so proud she wouldn't speak to How to Ivkep Coou?Talking of Sidney Smith's cool ideas of 44 taking otf his flesh and sitting in his bones, as being the highest imaginable degree of airy comfort?" I can better that," said a wit recently, 41 I'd knock the marrow out and have a draft through." Speaking without thinking, is shooting without taking aim. .. < ... wmmmmmmmmmmmm?rnrnmi I i n 44 h? ) you little rascal, walk up here, and give account of yoorself? where have you been I*1 44 After the girls, father." 44 Did yon ever know me to do "o, when I was a boy ?"? 44 No, sir ; but mother did." 44 My son, you had better go to bed." A cotkmpokabt describing a dance at a village in the neighborhood, said : ?44 The gorgeous strings of glass beads S'istened on the heaving bosoms of e' village belles, like polished rubies on the delicate surface of warm apple dumplings!" Understanding an Oath.?A witness was once asked if he knew the nature of an oath. 44 Of course, I dooze," he replied. 44 Explain it, then," said the lawyer. uv.... I .1 a it ~a ?i.~ iuu uu vi?ui i ciunit'u iuu witness ; "that's a oath, aru't it?" " I have always preserved my reputation," said Mrs. , one evening, addressing herself rather pointedly to another lady, to which the latter as pointedly replied, " I know you always set a most ridiculous value upon trifles." ? Fontenelle was 98 vears of age when a young lady askea him at what period of life men lost all taste for gallantry. " Indeed," replied the old gentleman, " you must ask that question of some one older than my6elf." A character in Mrs. Ilentz's story of " Love after marriage" lays down the law thus: " If a man is not uglv enough to frighten his horse, he is handsome CMougli to marry." Last winter it is said a cow floated down the Mississippi on a piece of ice, and became so cold that she has milked nothing but ice cream ever since.
