Whether Ooie, ."Cumber- land," or whatever his name may be, tapped the mail bag or not the, ehain of circumstances has a very suspi- cious appearance. The surmise is that the registered parcel was re- moved in the storm porch at the postoffice, through the slit made in the mail bag. Cole is ebout 30 years of age, solidly built, dark complexioned, rather inclined to be dudish and is , not the most prepossessing youth a inan would care to have about his place. It is reported from Stratford that while acting in the capacity of porter at one of thc hotels in that city be was arrested for stealing $9 from the proprietor and served a short sen- tence in jail. He also pilfered a $5 gold piece from a boarder a.nd was given notice to shake the dust of the classic city off his feet,which he did without delay. • ! Telegrams, descriptive of the suspect, were 'forwarded to police authorities and. it is to be hoped some lynx -eyed bobby will collar him. As to who will have to make up tbe cash does not appear to be m settled fact, but the probabilities are that the money will be made good to Messrs. Spence, Vincent, Pollock, and the C. O. P. There is evidently room on the MUL B& - L part of the Govestunent to amend HCOOPED.

Curiosities of Definitions. Richard Huloet's Dictionary, pub- lished as early as 1552, contains "Pickers or thieves, that go by into chambers, making ,as though they sought something." Henry Cockerham's English Dic- tionarie, 1623, has: Pole is " the end i of the axle -tree whereon the heavens i do move." An idiote is an unlearned I asse. A heretick, he 'which maketh I choice of himself what poynts of re- ligion he will believe and what lie will not. The barble, a fish that ; will not meddle with the baite until with her Mile she have unhooked it from the hooke. Here are few quaint Natural Ills - tory definitions: A baboon is said to ' be a beat like an ape, but farre big- ger; a lynx is a spotted beast—it , hath a most perfect sight, insomuch as it is said. it can see throw a wall; and a salamander is "8 small, ven- t omous beast, with foam feet and a short taile—it lives in the fire, and, at length, by his extreme cold, puts out the fire. ! • Sometimes explanations and defini- tions in the dictionaries are blunders, 1 pure and simple. Edward Phillips , defines a gallon as a measure con -1 taining two quarts; and again, a quaver is stated to be a measure of June m music s., being the half of a crotchet, as a crochet the half of a quaver. Dr. Johnson defined pas- tern as the knee of a horse; this blunder was, however, corrected in subsequent editions. Dr. Ash, in his 1 dictionary of 1775, explains " es- , oterie " as merely An incorrect spell- ing of " exoteric." Webater, in his first issue, defined wicket -keeper, as the player in cricket who stands with a bat to proteet the wicket from the ball, and a long -stop as ono! who is sent to stop balls sent a long distance. 1 Wesley defines Methodist as one that lives according to the Method laid down in the Bible Riehelet, author of an early French dictionary, remarks underi the he td ot groom., that " these. people wrap som3 of their merehan-, dise it gray paper, oe in a few sheets ! of wretthed bo Ate, width one sells to them becalm one has been *unable . 11u sell them to others; the translation Tiaeirti,..lir t!se little man (1"Ablan.1 1. •' oats ae a " ;tin wieell in England is gener- ally elven to le)rsee, Lilt ill Scotlalld supports tlic people."

Pensioner is a. " slave of state, hired by a stipend to obey his master." Au excise is " hatdul tax levied spell commodities, and adjadged, not by the common judges of property, but by wretches hired b'y those to whom excise is paid. Lexicographer is " a writer of die- • tionaries; a harmless drudge that busies himself in tracing the origin and detailing the significance of words." An exainple of J01111SOD'S Johnsonian style is found in the ex- planation of the word network, which is " anything resticulated or clecussated at equal distanees, with interstices between .interseetions. Ponderous definitions of this kind are often met with in technical works. A boil is described in a book as a "a circumscribed subeu.- taneous inflammation, suppurating, with a central core, a furuneulus." A kiss is " the anatomical juxtaposi- tion of two orbicularis oris musciee in a state of contraction. All the above are examples of un- conscious humor; here are a few of the conscious kind : "Dust is mud -eith the juice squeezed out." "A lawyer is a learned gentleman who rescues your estate from your enemies and keeps it fur himself." "A luncheon is base ingratitude to breakfast and a premeditated insult to dinner." "A bachelor is a man who has lost the opportunity of making a woman miserable." "Matrimony is an insane idea on the part of a man to pay some wo- man's board." "Flirtation is an attention without in ten tion." "Flatt is • mind?"—"No matter." "What is matter i"—"Never mind." - • Everyone has his faults.--Catullas.
