Among the homely occasions described is the dinner sven at the end of the sheep-shearing season at Holkham. The farmers, whom Coke encouraged to apress their opinions freely, were often, sholly unsuspected by themselves, a source of diversion to an audience who, we are jaformed, was “in high good humor” after im ample meal. The shortest speech on record at the clip- pings is said to be the following: A certain farmer was observed to be making efforts to rise to his feet, but each time he was hustled back by his companions, who, probably on the principle that a prophet s without honor in his own country, recom- ended him to hold his tongue. “Sit jown, will ee!” they reiterated, firmly, hen suddenly Coke noticed the little com- notion and interfered. “I see,” he said, “that good fellow has wmething to say to us. Pray let him speak.” The man, thus encouraged, rose triumph- aatly to his feet and hammered on the table. Profound silence at once reigned through the room, and he delivered himself as follows: “Maister Coke and gentlemen, what I h to say is—if more landlords would doe _ Maister Coke he doe, there'd be less doe — imineina they doe doc!” and amid thunders of Yattey GEMS repaid pplause he reseated himself.—Scotsman. , A Are being worn by the wealthiest people SAY everywhere.Stand acid and fire diamond Ee tes!
