It is said that oysters in England are worth 87 cents a dozen, and would be worth twice as much but for the intro- duction of American oysters, which control the market.

A most unfortunate title has the Dukedom of Albany been. It has been adopted five times in Scotland and four times in England. In six cases the title became extinct with the life of the first recipent, and four Dukes of Albany have died violent deaths. It has never passed the second genera- tion.

About the time the painter finished rasing his work the owner of the store appeared, and, seeing the situation of things, informed Thompson that the yesterday: | beat you again.” signedly who: ing “lf aid se skirts than go star the el dren—“‘let him.
