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. He
places the, oysters in a circle, and, seating

Hume very surprising narrative. One
. by one they begin to gape with astonishment,
and as ih y open their mouths,

salts, peppers, and &walloivs them.
We call to mind several stories which
we imagine would bo of great service

No sooner Ivad ho dropped the seed
than he and the others started ?-ff. as if
a bull-d?g had Veen after them. I was
ao nnrpri>ed that I forgot the warning
until I saw a vine poshing up from the
ground and making for ine. Then I
ran art if for dear life, tut before 1 go:
to the fence the vine caught me and be
I gan to wind around me like snake. 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. The boy grasped it ami
hoi-l on lightly. Off stalled the ai inial
' hut after running about a hundred VHids
the cu.-k struck against a rock ami broke
to pieces, and the boy regained bis liberty.

keeps on laying. This particular hen
went on the Ihsrsitader, as the invention
in culled, and never came off again. At
night the owner visited the L'erauader.
in the upper compartment he found a
handful of feathers, a few toe-nails, and
a hill. In the lower compartment were
three dozen and eleven eggs. The delicate
Constitution of the hen had been
unequal to the effort; and, Hied bv

Was hardly equal to the person of whom 1
there is a German legend, who, hating
lost his legs in the war, was furnished
with two india-rubber ones. On putting
them on, he felt so happy that he
sprang into the air; but when lie cntne
down be bounded back higher than he

he rebounded into the air with gieater
