HOTEL SCENE IN NEW YORK.—The colonel came
in with his regimental paymaster, and called Out to
the clerk, " Here, you Sir I" " I am here," civilly re-
sponded the clerk. " Just hand over de money dat belongs
to Mir regiment in your safe; we are off to Washington dis
afternoon." " There is your bill, colonel," said the clerk,
putting before him an official-looking piece of paper. "J'am
de pill; tam all pills," said the officer, not even deigning
to I.ok at the amount. He and his staff had held high
carnival with their friends for several days at his hotel ;
the bill for dinners, champagne, &c., amounted to some
£3OO. You must pay this, colonel, or allow me to take the
amount from the regimental funds, or I cannot re-
turn your money.' I decline to report the reply of the
colonel. Being interpreted, it was an assurance to the clerk
that he would not " bay de pill ;" that he would sea the
clerk in the centre of the most tropical region of the next
world before he would bay de pill; that the Government
might bay de pill, or go to the same no latitude. The clerk
remained firm under this torrent of Uerman-American-
Englieh. The colonel, in his rage, sent the paymaster for
the sentries at the door, and ordered them to charge upon
the clerk, and compel him to deliver the funds. The clerk
took a revolver from the desk before him. " There are four
of you," he said ; " there are six bullets here. Who wants
the first one ?" He iixei his eye on the colonel, and it
looked as though it would bore a hole through him, without
the bullet. " Fetter bay de pill," whispered the paymaster
to the colonel. The bul:y in the colonel was cowed, and
the paymaster saw that he might act. "lam de one to
bay pit's," said he. An amicable surrender of the funds,
minus the amount of the bill, was coon effected, the clerk
keeping his revolver in convenient proximity during
the transaction. The colonel and his men withdrew, and
the clerk called out cheerfully, " Here's the key, Grierson.
You can have your baggage up, and the chambermaid will
do up the room while you are at dinner. I can't answer
for the way in which the pigs have left the premises."
Jeremiah took the key. "Dowe go up on the live stock
dumb-waiter ?" he asked. "Oh no, that got out of order
in a week; everyliody goes up the natural way." " That's
nr,:an. It was part of the attraction here that we were all to
levitate." "Part of the advertisement you should say. You
surely ain't so green as to think we'd keep the thing up,
after the house was tilled," "Well, you ought to be a colonel
anyhow, for the Way you umagect to get that bill paid."
" Not colonel of a regiment oi deritn blackguards,
hope," said the clerk, turning to some new comers, .4.k6 It
nothing particular had happened.--111 the Year Round.
M. Alexandre Dumas, jun., is writing quite a
new style of piece, taken from the mystical career
of Count Cagliostro, the:mainspring of which is said to be
the representation of the prodigies attributed to that arch
sorcerer. This singular production is intended to be enacted
in some oristocrstie mansion, the part of Cagliostro being
represented by Mr. Hume, the fatuous spiritualist, who will
revive on this occasion all those supernatural feats which,
in the las: century, acquired a European celebrity for that
prince of oonjurere,
