HOTEL SCENE IN NEW YORK.—The colonel came
in with his regimental paymaster, and called out to
the olerk, " Here, you Sir 1" " I am here," civilly re-
sponded the clerk. " Just hand ever de money dat belongs
to our 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. "Tam
de pill ; tarn all pills," said the officer, not even deigning
to I,ok at the amount. He and his staff had held high
carnivat 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 803 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 German-American-
English. The colonel, in his rage, sent the paymaster fcr
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 fixer his eye on the colonel, and it
looked as though it would bore a hole through him, without
the bullet. " Petter bay de pill," whispered the paymaster
to the colonel. The bully in the colonel was cowed, and
the paymaster saw that he might act. "lam de one to
bay pills," said he. An amicable surrender of the funds,
minus the amount of the bill, was soon effected, the clerk
keeping his revolver in convenient proximity during
the transaction. The colonel and his men withdrew, and
the olerk called out cheerfully, " Here's the key, Grierson.

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 aristocratic mansion, the part of Cagliostro being
represented by Mr. Hume, the famous spiritualist, who will
revive on this occasion all those supernatural feats which,
in the last century, acquired a
,European celebrity for that
prince of conjurors.
