JOSH BILLINGS INSURES HIS LIFE.

I kum tew the conclusion lately that life wus so uncertin that the only wa for me to stand a fair chance with other folks wus to get my life insured, and so I called on the agent of the Garden Angel Life Insurance Co.. and answered the follow ing questions which were put to me over the top ova pair ov goold specks, by a slick, little, fat old feller, with a round gray head, and as pretty a little belly az any man ever owned.

QUESTIONS 1. Are you male or female ? state how long you have been so 2. Are you subject to fits, and if so, do you hare them more than one at a time ? 3. What is your precise fiteing weight ? 4. Did you ever have enny ancestors, and if so, how many ? 5. What iz yure legal opinion ov the constitutionality of the 10 command ments P

If so,

6. Dv yu ever have enny nitemare ? 7. Are yu married, and live single, or are yu a batchlor ? 8. Dv yu believe in a future state? If yu dv, state it.

9. What are yure private sentiments about a rush ov rats to the head—can it be did successfully ? 10. Have yu ever committed suicide, and if so. how dus it seem to affect yu ? 11. Did yu 6ver hay the meezles, if so, how many ? After answering the above questions like a man, on the confirmative, the slick, fat, old feller, with goold specks on, ced I was insured for life, and probably would remain so for a term ov years. I thanked him, and smiled one ov my most pensive smiles.

P The reporter at Laramie, who seat the following dispatch to the Alta, is welcome to the hat of us, if it will be of any use to

him. "It is snowing and blowing so that we cannot do a thing, but we are doing all that can be done." A close study of this gentleman's nationality would pro bably reveal a peculiarly Hibernian state of the facts.— News Letter.

A correspondent inquired of H. G. if guano was good to put on potatoes. He said it might do for those whose tastes had become vitiated with tobacco and

rum, but he preferred gravy and butter. A sick man, slightly convalescent, was asked by a pious friend who his physician was, He replied, "Dr Jones brought me through. "No, no," said his friend, " God brought you out of your illness, not the doctor." " Well, may be He did, but you can bet the doctor will charge for it.' During a class meeting held several years since by the Methodist brethren of a Southern village of America, Brother Jones went among the colored portion of the congregation. Find ing there an old man notorious for his en deavour to serve God on the Sabbath and, Satan thereat of the week, he said, "Well Brother Dick. I'm glad to see you here. Havn't stolen any turkeys since I saw you last, Brother Dick ?" " No, no, Brudder Jones, no turkeys." " -Nor any chickens, Brother Dick?" " No, no, Brudder Jones, no chick ens." "Thank the lord, Brother Dick! That's doing well, my brother!" said Bro ther Jones, leaving Brother Dick, who imme diately relieved his overburdened conscience by saying to a near neighbour, with an im mense sight of relief, "Ef he'd a said ducks he'd a had me." The " Ladies Magazine " says the Krencn Government is sending us its banished Com munists. We don't like them, but i- is pleasant to hear that some of them have faith in England's charitable kindness and hospitality. One of them tells us how, when in gaol, in February, he read on the walls ot the Depot dcs Chantiers," as also did every one of his 1200 fellow prisoners, the following bill which was stuck up everywhere :— li Angleterre, la Belgique, la Suisse, 1 Espagne, refusent de receyoir les bannis.—Oh. Marcer on, Governor of the Depot dcs Chantiers. The commotion this falsehood produced amongst these men who, like himself, knew England, may, he says, be easily imagined He continues, « On the 24th of March I was told to draw up my petition, stating to what foreign country I intended to go. bure enough I declared I wished to go to England, a. d handed my request to the Governor ot the pls» - «What do you mean, sir?' cried he; «h#e"you not read the bill? Dont you know England refuses the banished?' ' I have ftad the bill, sir. With all due respect to bills, I do not believe that England refuses to receive the banished r 1 cannot forward your petition ; you must draw up another. I had to write five successive ones, always requesting to be sent to Eng land. As for the thirtyflve men just arrived they wrote their demand as directed. Still days after days passed on, and they remained in gaol. All of a sudden they were told to draw up another petition and request to be sent to England. Bather bewildered they. of course, wrote the required demand, and were unexpectedly sent to Calais, and put on board a steamer." The writer of this is now French master at London University College.

[Advt. J THE GREEN HARP CASE. To the Editor of the Herald. Sir, —As the preliminary investigation relative to the Green Harp case has now terminated, and my being dismissed as one of the so-called conspirators now gives me an opportunity of making a few remarks on the course of conduct pursued throughout this perse cuting prosecution, I look upon my dismissal, after being dragged before the public and stigmatised " the ringleader," as a clear, unreserved, and unqualified proof that I am, and have been, innocent of the gross and unfounded charges preferred against me ; and this, in law, is the foundation for an action against the prosecutors for a malicious prosecution : and I must say that the remarks made by Mr Beckham from the Bench on my dismissal were a great breach of the glorious British principle, " That every man is innocefit until he is proved to be guilty," and were without precedent, and seemed quite uncalled-for, and hardly possible to be understood, except on the assumption of there being a strong bias at work against me, such as no magistrate is supposed to entertain in the administration of justice, and can be only attributed as a sop to the gentle men who prosecuted. No doubt there was a great feeling displayed against me throughout the case, as it was wanted to make me the scapegoat of the brokers, as it no doubt fondly hoped that my committal would have purged the brotherhood, but throughout all the evidence it was clearly proved that every broker who had transactions in Green Harp shares had acted precisely in the same manner as I have d'lie, and therefore if I was guilty they would be guil y also, even including the sanctified J. P. Dv Moulin, who, like myself, negotiated transactions for the same party (O'Reilly) to the amount of nearly £3000, and although he wanted to appear above the temptation of a piece of bribery in the shape of a gold watch, yet could not throughout the whole of his evidence help making use of his oath to show his chagrin and jealousy of me by exposing confidential communications, and giving contradictoiy statements, such conduct leading me to exclaim in his own phraseology, " God forbid that I should shew him the spirit of Dv Moulin." Finally, I cannot help remarking upon a great anomaly in this case. Because, in the opening address of Mr. Hesketh for the prosecution, he throughout called me the head and ringleader of the conspiracy, and yet although I am acquitted six others are committed for trial, clearly making it appear that they are a poor mutilated body without a head. Such a state of things requires no comment. —I am, &c, James Ferguson. ii )■■ ■in-! Late Advertisements. TO-MOEEOW, AUGUST 27. POTATOES, MAIZE, ONIONS. GEO. W.
