Thar we was settin' on our horses, rollin' with laughin' and liquor, and thought the thing was rich [alluding to a dog-fight].--Porter's South-western Tales, p. 57.

The New York Tribune, in speaking of General Cass's book, "France; its King, Court, and Government," says

It would be rich indeed if the parasite should vault to the heights of power just one year after the despot he served was cast down to contempt and exile.--N. Y. Tribune, June 2, 1848.
