How Prince Lurien Bonaparte Was rfTetl.
It was said that thero was no word in
language or dialect which Prince Lucicn
was unable to trace to its etymological
source. But he got fogged once. It was
at Exeter. He was seeking a knowledge
of the great Devonshire language from
Mr. Baird4 the poet in dialect of the Dev-
onshire nation. He asked at a well
known newspaper office where Mr. Bainl
wrote his weekly verses, "Is Mr. Baird
in?" There was a boy at the counter.
Tlio boy replied with an affirmative
which can bo only dimly represented by
the letters "uif," wade by drawing the
breath inward. The prince repeated the
question. The boy again breathed him a
reply. The prince became angry. "1
ask is he in?" The boy again drew in his
breath between his lips. Then the prince
smiled. Mr. Band met him and found
that ho had forgotten his vexation in his
desire to investigate a new etymological
problem. "What do you mean in Dev-
onshire," ho cried, "by 'nfley For hall
an hour the prince and the poet tried to
get to the bottom of the problem, when
at last the fact dawned on Mr. Baird's
mind that he had tried to teach the prince
what was impeachable. He uuwle the
prince so disconsolate that the people in
the county are quite capable of saying
that Prince Lucion died of vexation at
his inability to say "Yes" in the great
Devonshire language, or to explain the
origin of an inspiratory affirmative.—
