[8 —Chicago Tribune. Ben BUTLER was once chairman of a meeting at which Rufus Choate was booked (oran address. Mr. Choate was about to begin his address when a man crawled up to Butler, and whispsred to him that the joists in the floor and the supporting beams were giviag way becats: of the heavy pressare on the floor, and they were likely to collapse at Gay moment. Batler turaed to the maa and whispered to him: ‘Keep quiet." Then turaing to the audience, he said: ‘A man has brought me information that outside of this hall there are not less than twenty thousand people clamoring for admission. 1 propose to adjourn this meeting to the common, where all can hear Mr. Choate. Now st see how quickly we can empty this hall.” Meanwhile, Choate was tugging at Butler's coat-tails, sazing 3 “Ben, don't! Stop, Bea, Why, I can’t see to read on the common; my voice won't carry in the open air; I can’t make them hear,” and so on. After most of the audience had left, Butler turaed around to Choate, and said: “Say, Choate, would you rather deliver this speech here in this hall or in hell.” Argonaut. A SHIPLOAD of fine horses were recently consigned from Calcutta to Bombay, under the charge of a very honest but somewhat dull agent in the employ of an East India Company. While the horses were being landed at the slip, they managed to break away from the nen in charge, and ran like wild animals through the city. The agent | caught one of them, and, mounting him, gave chase. After several hours of exciting | work, with the help of his men, he had captured all but one of the horses, as he counted | them. Finally he made his reluctant way to the superintendent's office, to give an account | of the matter, The superintendent came to the door and listened to the story. “ And you say there were 124 horses in all, and you have 80 of them in the com- pany’s stables and 43 of them back in the steamer temporarily ?”” “Yes, sir, all safe but one; and we cannot find him anywhere.” “What is that horse you are riding ?"—Exchange. “1 nEG your pardon,” said the cheeky youth to the calm and austere maiden in the Pullman, “but I think I have seen you somewhere before.” The maiden fixed a freezing stare upon him, } “T'think not,” she replied severely, “I have been there several times, but only to pass through.” Then he passed on,—Exchange.
