Hamlet Left Cat
"Coras bore, yoaag man, I want to talk
to yen," said a First street merchant, whom
we will call Bliaaard.
" Waht, what np now," we tremblingly
gasped, fearing wo had gotten dress goods
for shoes in his adv. or something as bed,
and were going to get a lecture.
"Oh, nothing serious, bat I wanted to tell
70a that that list of marriageable men in
the last Democrat, was very ranch like the
play of "Hamlet" with Hamlet left out. It
was very good so far as it went, bat you
left oat the Hamlets of bachelordom in Al

There are John B , Jones, Strat. Andy
H , Dick F , Geo W , JeffC ,
FredG .and he rattled off thirty or
forty others. "All of them are eligible, and
would make good husbands, and ought to
have been given.' We mumbled that we
didn't think of them at the time, and he gave
us an elastic to fasten our shirt sleeve up so
that it wouldn't show our inky cuff, and we
left him, cogitating on the impossibility of
an editors remembering everything, any
more than sis susecrihers about paying ep
at the end of the year.

It was reported by several that the
bones found by Dr Hill and others be
longed to those of r race af giants, it
being stated that the largest was proba
bly in his life time a man seven feet
high. A friend who measured the long
est femur bono fonnd it to bo sixteen
inches long. This bone is slightly over
R fourth of the length of the human
body, which would make this giant less
than fire feet, four inches high, probably
fire foot two, certainly a very diminu
tive man. Be it said though that the
bones are large and ths largest jiw Is
uncommonly big. The only way to
make the fellow tall would be to assert
tfcut the bones shrink by age, which
we ere assured is not the case.
