S36-Lord Fitzgerald made us hugh at dinner today with a story about John Wilson Croker. whose perrinacity of opinion is well known. He was laying down the law after dinnerto the Duke of Wellington and, according to custom. asserting the superiority of his own information on all subjects, having even flatly contradicted the duke, who had mentioned some incident that had taken place at the battle of Waterloo. At last the conversation turned upon the use of percussion caps for muskets of the army when Croker again main tained a directly opposite opinion to that which was urged 'by the duke. who at last good humoredly said to him. "My dear Croker. I can yield to your superior Information on most points, and you may kaoW a great deal more of what passed at Waterloo than myself, but as a sportman I will maintain my point about percussion caps."-Thomas Raikes' Journal. The Larch In Labrador. The soil and atmuosphere.are so cold and dry in faraway -Labrador that scarcely any vegetation thrives at all. The larch is a species of pine tree which is found in all northern coUn tries, but its growth is soestunted in Labrador that a specimen found on the most southern part of that dreary land was but nine Inches in height and the trunk was but three-eighths of an inch in diameter. A careful examina tion of the miniature tree revealed Its age to be at least thirty-two years, for there were that number of ring growths shown in its small trnnk- The very cold currents pouring down from the north and the fact that Labrador has less sunshine than Alaska, to gether with several inland climatic conditions, make the summer seasons shorter and colder than are those of Alas-ka.-Ezx-MR The Smoky City. A Pittsburg man once submitted a Pittsburg story to a New York maga zine and got a wire from the editor: "Will accept story if cut out libel." I So the Pittsburg man hurried over to New -York and asked the editor whom he had libeled. "You have libeled your native city, sir," was the reply. -Why." said the editor, turning over the manuscript, "don't you say here on page 23 that the heroine clutched the air desper ately?" "Yes.
