ItMichattMnismc \' The relation of ingenious and pre^na leron* m*v mil Iw the u\ostt profitable occupation la which one cotiW be engaged ; bet i\ is one ??f those r-terciwa of grotesque fancy which may terte very well now and then for an hour's entertainment. The moat famous and systematic originator of this rrm of bios rie* is supposed lobe an individual called the llaron Munchausen, and his name has become a synonym for literary effort of this character.- The term "canard," iroin mo rrencn, i? oiieii useu to signify an improbable iXory, awl its origin, *which ra*v be now to some of out render*, excellently illustrates the meaning of the wort!. * A Fioiichmao once sent to a newspaper a statement of an experiment which he had .lately rnadv, proving tho woo Jarful voracity of ducks, lie had a flock, he said,-of twenty of those fowls. One day he killed one of them, and on cutting it into very small pieces, fed it, feathers and all, to the other nineteen, and it was quickly devoured. lie then killed another, and cutting It into small pieces, fed it to the other eighteen, who ate it all up in a few moments. He killed another, and fed it to the seventeen remaining ducks, and still another which he fed to the sixteen ; and so continued tmljl finally there was but one duck left, which had, of courao, eaten all the other nineteen. Canard being the French word for dock, any exaggerated story was subsequently called a "canard "or a " d'?clt atoiv as in this country wo'speak of "a li-h story " or " a snake story." It is sometimes very well to exsgger ate a littlo for the sake of bringing ridicule upon those who lelate " lough tarns" and imagine that the listeners will believe thctu. Some one gives the advice? Whene'er you henr a tale that is a "iliumper," Show no surprise, but nim ftt something higher, And match it with a bo'der fib and plumper, Tis the best method to confound a liar. The people of Ga?cnnv. France, it iknown, have a world-wide reputation for boasting whence come the word " gasconade." A Ga-con * was once vaunting his evesight to a ci?i2-n of l'aiis in tho Kite Notre ]>ame.-? "Z ninds," said lie, 4' fmm this very place I see a mou?o running at t1??? lop ??f the lower." " I do not see ywt,"said the citizen, quietly, " hot I hear it I rot." A traveller wm relating some itnpro bable stories of feats performed by Chinese j igglers, and spoke of one whose* u Udtlcr on end ut an opvti space and walked ihe rounds to 'lie top. " 1 have seen a greater f<-?t than thai," remark eel a bystander; " I iiave seen a jngg'et go to '.he top of a ladder in tbe same way, and llien pull the ladder up^fter hiiu.M An Englishman was once making some extraordinary statement* a* to be speed of a horse which be owned.? *' Mv rlear sir." said an American, "that is rather le-s than the average speed of our roadsters. I lire at mv cmtrilrv seat near Philadelphia, and when I tide to town in a hurry in the morning, mv shadow doesn't keep up with nie, but generally comes into the store a minute or two after my ariivul. Ono mcrning *??* ivmut?, wiui I- ivun nun as hard as 1 could several times around a large factO'V. just to take ll:e " ?>1:1 II ariy " out of bim. Well, sir, lie wont *o (a^t that I faw inv back before me th- whole time, and I was twice in dau' ger of riding over myself. .Another Englishman, it is said, having heard a great deal about the Yankee propensitv of "bragging," thought he would make nn experiment in that art ldinself. He walked up to a market woman's stand, and pointing to some large watermelons, said : " What ! don't you raise anv bigger apples that; these in America?" "Apples!" said the woman, disdainfully, " anybody might know vou was an Englishman. Them's huckleberries!'' ' The above will bo sufficient to illu?trn'e the use of Muuchaseoismt as a method of repartee. But another propose to winch some glib talker h.i? prof'saed to put suclr stories is of qui;e a d'fler ent character, lie says lie (Tods them very off-cuve in opening oysters.

I : was very mhch alarmed, and put my hand to my pocket for ray knife with which to cut myself loose; but to my horror 1 could not get it in on account of a curcuinber which hung there, and which was growing like blazes." A Cincinnati paper indulged its cred ulout readers, some Uuiu ago, with the following item: u As a gentleman wns going along Fifth street, be passed a place where spine boys were playing marbles. One of them, in shooting his marble, cle\er lv put it under the gentleman's foot. The gentleman slipped and stumbled against lady, also pacing, precipitating her along with himself upon a large dog. The dog, frightened out of its propriety, bolted off, and ran between the legs of another gentleman, who, in falling, drew the string of a kite from the hands of a hoy. The kite,of courre, fell, and in falling, frightened a span of horses attached to a wagon in an alley near bv. The liorsea ran down the alley. A man who was building a fire in a carpenter shop by which they passed, started up to see what was the matter. mikI in doing so, dropped hid lighted iiimIcIi among the* shaving*. A tire was llie consequence. The engines assembled, end. in the hurry consequent upon (lie alai in, h inno fell in the track of one of lluiin,mid lied hi* anil bro ken. Is the bo)' who shot the marble responsible fo? mII the consequent dninayes?-.' 'Ihe train of circumstances here riIdled remind* one of the story of the Frenchman who attempted to commit suicide, lie wa? determined not to be thwarted in hU purpose, so he provided himself with m ladder, n rope, a pistol, a box of matches and a vial of poison, and went a little before high tide to a. jaist set up on the edge of the sea.? Ascending the ladder, he lied one end of the rope to lite pool, and the oilier aiound his neck ; then lie look the poison, set his clothes oil tire, put the mug xle of (he pistol to his ear, and kicked away the ladder. In kicking awav the ladder, lie shqatd the pi-iol so that the ball ini-tred hit lo ad Mini cut through the rope by which be was su-pemled; lie fell into the sen, thus extinguishing tho names of his collies, the sea water which lie had involuntarily swallowed counteracted the -poivou, and the tide washed him on slioie high ami dry, so that, despite bis prec-Hifions, he remained unchanged, lilisliut, unpuisoiiod, till buined and undrowiied. Tho next story shall be of a verv laigo tiee in California. A man went to the woods to cut it down, lie bad been chopping about ten days, w hen iks mud^m lie woui.j lake a walk around the Irve.jual to see how loucli lie liul to cut; what was liis soipii-e, when he gut l<> the other side, to find another mail cutting on the name tree. " I say," said the California:!, " how long have you heeti cutting ? *' " Just three weeks." suiiWthe shang'-r. The tiee was so big around thai they had not heard the sound of each other's axes I Finally, we may mention the adcen lure of a sailor boy, who for some mischievous trick was headed op iu a wa Ur-ca-k, with only the bung bole K? bread le through. The following night a squad cattle up. ami the ship went down with all oil homd, except himself in the cask. ' Fortunately, it kept bung up," and alter thirty hours in lloatiug about, he was cast on the shore, where, after making many unsuccessful efforts to relea^ himself, he g tve liitnaelf up i to die. But sortie ca'tle strolling along the beach, were attracted hy tho ca?k, and in switching around it one of them accidentally slipped her tail into tb# hung hole.
