Susan B. Anth-ny.—You are mistaken. DARWIN nowhere mentions any process of natural selection by which a woman may in time become a man.
Hon. Benj. Disraeli.—The expression, "I will put a head on you," which you say Prof. G-LDW-N SM-TH uses in a cable dispatch to you, is merely a slang phrase which he has probably learned from his trainer.
Payne Collier.—There is more than one Irishman in SHAKSPEARE. It appears from the text of Hamlet that he was on the most friendly terms with the "melancholy Dane," from the familiar way in which the latter addresses him:
Ham. "Now might I do it, PAT." (Hamlet, Act III, Scene III.)
It is impossible to say now whether the PAT in question was a Fenian or not.
Jack Ketch.—We think that listening to a debate in the House of Representatives may fairly be considered the worst form of Capitol punishment.
Potter.—No, no. COLENSO was born in England. Though he was Bishop of Natal, it was not his Natal place.
Poetaster.—Was not HAFIZ a Persian poet.
Answer.—Yes. Poor fellow! he spent HAFIZ life in making rhymes.
J. F.—y.—Rumor says that Mr. W.B. OGDEN intends to defer commencing to build the Central Underground Railroad until the new Court House is finished.
