Thx Montreal Herald says: The farmers of the maritime provinces, are reaping a rich har vest from our American neighbors by the sup. ply of cabbages and potatoes in prodigious quantities. It is said that Nova Scotia is simply overrun with speculators in cabbages, who buy all they can lay their hands upon, and even go to the length of trying to induce housekeepers to part with their winter supply. Anxiety ia beginning to manifest itself in Halifax at the large shipments xf potatoes which have taken plaoe, and there the price has gone up from the normal rate of from 25 cents or 23 cents to 60 cents per bushel." Soke years ago, when aa enormous defalca tion took plaoe in London on the. part of the treasure! of a public company, it came to light that he had for years avoided taxing a holiday for more than a day or two, tbe object evidently being that no thorough examination of bis aooounta should be made.

The mechanic utters an exclamation of disgust and responds satirically: I suppose you expect me to mend your pipes for nothing. I do not steal my bamboos, like some people." This retort, which is highly relished by the crowd, turns the laugh against the owner of the pipe, who haughtily replies: ri ---s--- Go on with your work I will find yon in food for the next- week or two." The pipe-mender takes a tiny hammer and removes the bowl and mouthpiece of the pipe, then, selecting a bamboo; proceeds to fit; it, carefully saving the rejected stick and the fragments that he saws from the new one to help boil his rice pot at night He is at infinite pains to make the joints air-tight, and, as he works, delivers a comic lecture to the admiring crowd collected about him.
