A circular Joke.

--On a recent occasion Capt. Lynch, who is at Fort Pillow, exclaimed to an Irishman who was lifting a stick of timber rather slowly--'Up with it man, why, I could swallow it." The Irishman replied, "Well, capp'n, you could, but if you haven't a circular saw in your I on it wouldn't pass."
