Evans, president of the British Divorce Court, has several 00d stories to tell relating to his pro- ession. One which concerns a man who stole a air of trousers is decided- ly naive. T is man received a favor- able verdict, but when the case we! over he showed no signs of leavin the court. At last his lawyer aske him why he didn’t go. The innocent (1") man whispered in reply: “The fact is, air, I did not like to move till the witnesses had left the court. You 5:31 I.’ve got on the trousers wot I s e.’ A Veteran Legislator. One of the veterans of the British House of Commons is Mr. Henry Chaplin, who has advocated tarifl re- form in season and out of season for longer than probably he cares to remember. He has ever displayed solicitude for the agricultural portion of the community, and there is cer- tainly no politician of the day who understands rural constituencies bet- ter_than Mr. Chaplin. He is, 0! course, an old hand at electioneering, and knows exactly what will go down with Farmer Giles and his friends. As a sportsman and a landlord they appreciate him highly. Maund and Maunder. Neither maund, a basket, nor mann- der, to whine or grumble, is obsolete. Both are still in common use in South Notts and Leicestershire, at any rate. The former is used only, however, Of a particular kind of basket, used for carrying butter to market. The basket. is nearly square in shape and has two lids opening from the middle part, where the handle is, and it is called the “butter mawn” (maund). Maun- der is usually heard in such sentences as “What are you maundering at?” A Northumbrian will say, “He’s a maundering old fool,” when the man of whom he is speaking strings words together in a senseless sort of way somewhat akin to maudling.â€"London Notes and Queries. Collie afterwards joined the Bombay police in which he became an inspec- tor, and experienced various adven- tures. He returned to England, where his health gave way, and he finally decided to make for his native place. whose workhouse infirmary now shel- ters him. Collis, who was then a gunner, load- ed sick and wounded on his gun and made for the British base, which he reached after great difficulties. He was nearly cut off on the way, and to save his charges unlirnbered his gun, un- der fire of which the wounded were removed on the limber. He was re- lieved by a troop of Bombay cavalry. under Gen. Nuttali, who compliment- edmhim upon his bravery. Twelve months later, at a parade on the Poonah racecourse, Collis had his name called out and had the Victoria Cross pinned on his coat by Lord Rokfts (then Gen. Roberts). and'is a member of a family 0va 5311 diers, three brothers, two sons, and eight nephews either serving or having served in various branches of the arr_ny.

He was transferred to the R.H.A., and went out to India, where he arrived just before the war broke out with Afghanistan.

Both rose simultaneous- ly to speak. The two peers stood fac- ing each other at the table. and each tried to speak, while their partisans kept shouting “Granville!" and “Cairns!” in an aristocratic manner.

The scene might have lasted until either Earl Granville or Lord Cairns had fallen fainting had not Lord Beauchamp earned immortal fame by creating a precedent in the House of Lords. He moved. in a tone of anger, that Lord Cairns be heard. and Lord Cork, in a similar tone. mov- ed_that Lord Granville be heard. A vote was taken, and Lord Gran- ville won by a majority of one in a House of fifty-three excited peers.
