"One of the best on Billy Florence," sairl an old stager, ''was played on liim as lato as 1888 by somo of the boys at tho St. James hotel. Billy was an ardent Republican and valued liis standing as a party man. You know, he never forgave his old friend, President Arthur, for considering his candidacy for consul general at London a joke. Well, when Blaine came back from Europe, and there was a great hullabaloo about the uncrowned king, the boys sent Billy a formal letter from the committee of arrangements appointing him chairman of the subcommittee of reception on behalf of tho actors, artists and auctioneers requesting his check for §50 and his presence on the steamer Sloan at o'clock in the morning to go down and welcome Blaine. Billy bit slowly, but finally swallowed tho bait, hook and all. He sent his cheek for ^0 to the designated person, and nut until three davs after, when he had arena

Beginning after close of the Study in Scarlet

SPECIMENS OF WIT.

SOME HISTORIC FLASHES OF SPONTANEOUS HUMOR.

Not a Few European Sovereigns Have Been Fond of and Given to liepartea. Clever and Iirutal Jests Passed Among

Englishmen of ILong Ago.

Generally speaking, tho strong liavo refused to put up with jesting from the weak. The Czar Nicholas, who had some fine qualities, was hardened against meditated act of clemency by tho uuflaunted spirit of a prisoner. Relief?, a man of letters, had been implicated in the conspiracy of 1825 and sentenced to be hanged. Ho was launched from tho fatal ladder, when the ropo broke and ho was thrown to tho ground, severely bruised, but conscious. Ho picked himself up and said quietly, '"They can do nothing in Russia, not even twine a cord properly." It was customary in Russia to pardon the condemned alter a similar fiasco, but on Relied's words being reported to the czar and his pleasure demanded he replied, "Prove linn the contrary.

Henry VIII, with all his violence and tyranny, con Id bear with a retort as well us give one, for he loved wit. When it was toid him that the pope had sent the cardinal's hat to Fisher, bishop of Rochester, he said, "Ho may have tho hat, but ho shall have no head to wear iS with, and tho bishop was brought to tho block. On one occasion the turbulent Earl of lvildaro was brought before tho king, charged with setting fire to tho cathedral of Cashel. '"I own it," aid the earl, "but I never would have done it had I not believed the archbishop was in it." Henry laughed and pardoned tho culprit. His bitterest enemy was the bishop of Meath. who accused him to Henry of divers misdeeds and closed his arraignment with, 'Thus, my liege, you see that all Ireland cannot govern tho earl. "Then," said the perverse monarch, "tho earl shall rule all Ireland," and instantly made him lord deputy because his good humor equaled his valor.

Elizabeth resembled her father in her willingness to put up with retorts from saucy subjects and to pay them back in kind, not always with the greatest refinement. Tho littlo scene with the ill fated Earl of Essex, when sho boxed his oars for insolence and he laid his hand on his sword, saying that ho would not take such treatment even from her father, is familiar to every one.

Going back to still earlier dates, wo constantly find the imperious Plantagenet kings giving and receiving retorts that bear witness of great independence

above most monarehs in repartee. As a rule, it is impossible to reproduce in conventional English dress tho jests of this wise and witty king. O11 one occasion it was the turn of M. d'Aubigne to sleep in the king's antechamber. Fancying the monarch was asleep, he began to talk to M. de la Force, who shared bis watch, saying, "Your master is the most ungrateful of men.'' La Force, half asleep, asked him what he was talking about,

i:ic. Cattle— when Henry cried out: "Wake up! He fair to rood. is telling yon I am the most ungrateful

of men." "Pray go to sleep, sire," interrupted D'Aubigne. Wo have a great deal moro to say about you. Henry never showed less kindliness to his servant on account of what ho had overheard.

But tho cynical generosity of Frederick the Great is unique. A lackey who I owed him a grudge had determined to poison him. One morning he brought in I the king's chocolate and appeared visibly troubled in countenance. "What ails you?" said Frederick, looking fixedly at him. "You look as if you had put poison in my food. The wretch fell at his feet and avowed his crime. "Get out of my sight, you scoundrel!" said Frederick and took no further notice of tho man's attempt to murder liim.

A delicate compliment is a work of far higher art than tho most biting sarcasm. Every one knows the story of the poor creature who found himself seated between Mine. Recamier and Mme. do Stael, and managed to offend them both by saying that ho sat between wit and beauty, and was crushed by the retort of Mme. de Stael that lie possessed neither. The court of Louis XIV was the school where this art was brought to perfection. The flattery offered to the king by the men of genius was at onco coarse and exquisite. Witness the inimitable roplv oi Mignard, who was painting tho king's portrait for tho tenth time, when Louis asked him, "Do I look older?" "I see a few more campaigns on the brow of your majesty. ^1

One of Louis' marshals, Bassompierre, was great at repartee. He had spent ten years in the Bastille, and on emerging his majesty asked him his ago. "Fifty, sire. To the surprised look of the king the marshal added, "I don't count the ten years I passed in the Bastille, because I did not spend them in your majesty's service. "—Philadelphia Telegraph.

He Must Do Something.

An inhabitant whoso heols were striking sparks from the pavoment as he walked entered tho waterworks office, selected his clerk and fiorcely announced, "Sir, you can send up and take your old gas meter out of my house." "This is not the gas office." "It isn't?" "No, sir. This is tho waterworks office." "Oh, it is? Well, then, send up ancl turn the water oil'! I'm not going to walk 1 }4 miles for nothing. "—New York Dispatch.
