who took unn, wasl
quarters there the other day, in company with a young
man, g
man, whom he stated he maintained out of charity, his
proteg6 having earned his sympathy by being a tailor
out of work—" high art " had so humanised bis feelings,
that he couldn't bear to see a tailor out of work—and so
he maintained him. After remaining a fortnight with
the landlord—pretending that he had work from the
stationers, the "high artist" was no more seen—nor
was his proteg6 to be found. It is possible he may have
forgotten the circumstance, but the people there think
he has bolted. He had a portfolio, in which there were
no pictures, but the representation of a shirt—that being
all dickey. He is of the middle height, dark hair, sharp
features, with straight and wiry whiskers—he is usually
dressed in black. It is expected that be will patronise
other susceptible host.— Western Times.
