Rebecca Hazeldown. It was very rude of the young man to stare at you through an aquarium, as you say he did.  The little fishes might have been flirting their tails at the time, however, and it is just possible that he might have taken you for one of the flirts.

A Horseman. After long observation, I am of opinion that the sudden collapse which so frequently occurs among omnibus and street-car horses, is to be attributed to the stupid but common practice of giving them water when they are overheated.  Can you assist me in putting a stop to this?

Answer. We do not see why you should apply to PUNCHINELLO in the case.  Have we not a Croton BERGH among us?

Valetudinarian. To furnish you with a list of all the patent medicines advertised is quite out of our power.  Suppose you start out early every morning with your note-book, walk for seven or eight miles along the Bloomingdale Road, and make your list from the innumerable inscriptions on the rocks in that vicinity.  Do this for a month or two, and you will not care much about the list when you have got it.

N.E. by S.W. We read that DEMOSTHENES used to put pebbles in his mouth, and spout while thus charged, to cure himself of thickness of utterance.  Suffering from the same defect, I have tried the same remedy, but without success.  Can you advise me in the matter?

Answer. The most learned commentators agree that the statement about DEMOSTHENES’ putting pebbles in his mouth was only figurative, and really meant that, when about to speak in public, he used to put a brick in his hat.  The same thing is done by many of our public speakers of the period—­such as JOHN B. GOUGH, H. GREELEY, ANNA DICKINSON, and others.  Try it moderately, and it may loosen your tongue.

Epicurus. Is Worcestershire sauce really the invention of an English nobleman?

Answer. Yes:  he was one of the COOKS or one of the BUTLERS, we have forgotten which; but it is certain that he was degraded from the peerage for offering some of his sauce to the reigning British monarch of his time.

While all France is Blue with the prospects of the siege of Paris, we have constant accounts of the growing ascendency of the Reds.  We commend this to the nest scientific convention, as an evidence of the analogies which prevail in the physical and moral worlds.

When an artist visits a picturesque locality, why is the proceeding like an undecided prize-fight?

Because it results in a draw.
