An old Confederate soldier said the other day that he did not wish to fight any more, but that he was willing to go to Cuba on one condition. If the members of Congress who have brought on the, war could be organized into a regiment and placed in the front line of the battle he would undertake to raise a regiment of old Confederate soldiers who would take the second line and make the Congressmen fight. He would charge them behind if they should fail to charge the Spaniards in front. - The Elder's Wit. Three young students -wished to have a little amusement at his expense. One saluted him as Father Abraham. "You are wrong," said the second, "this is old Father Isaac." "Nay," said the third, you are both mistaken; he is old Father Jacob."

Spice dealers were known as piperarii ; in English, pepperhrs, and in French, poivriers. As a fraternity, or ,guild, they existed in London` in the reign of Henry II. (1154-1189). They vvere subsequently incorporated into the Grocers' Qompany, and had the control of the trade in spice's, drugs, dye stuffs and metals. The price Of pepper during the middle ages was always exorbitantly high, as the riders of Egypt exhorted a targe revenue Iron all who were engaged in the spice ertide.
