Labouchere's Remedy.

San Francisco Argonaut. Laboucliere was at dinner one evening in his Twickenham villa when an united guest arrived—h Mex can. who had a government concession in which he was very anxious to interest Labouchere. The stranger talked volubly until his host, who had listened with evident reluctance, asked: “How do you expect to get back to London tonight? My house, as you see, is full and I cannot offer you a bed. Have you a carriage?” “No,” said the Mexican. “I came by train and intend to return that way t “But,” returned Laboachere, “the last train left five minutes ago, There is one chance for you,” he went on. “I will row you down the river to the next station, where you can catch the express. We can talk business on the way.” Excusing himself to his guests, Labouchere went off with the Mexican. Within an hour he was back. “That Mexican,” be said in the tone of one who had accomplished a satisfactory piece of work,“is landed on bn island which is overflowed at high tide. It will be high tide in half an hour. No man ever spoiled my dinner with Mexican concessions twice.”
