The FRENCHMAN AND HIS CHEcK.-Some
time ago, Freuchman attendrd he Park Thea
tire, New York, when the entertainment happen-
led to consist of three pieces At the close Of the
first piece he went out, taking with him box
lcheck, with which he entered the pit At the
conclusion Of the second piece he again went out,
taking pit check With this he proposed again
Ientering the boxes not being aware it seems, that
altht gh box check will procure admission in-
- the pit, YET pit check is no passport to the
boxes. He offered his check at the door and was
refused. Nevertheless, considering that inasmuch
as he had paid ddIar, he had a just right to the
BOXES, notwithstanding the circumstance of the
lpit heck, he, witt the true spirit and CELEBRITY

remain, or whaher he should be ousted. The
,or-keeper dli not hesitate as to his part, and
was proceeding, VI ct armis, to thrust the other
OUT. But thiswas not 50 easy, for while he was
preparing to hrusl the Frenchman cut, others
seemed DISPOSE to thrust themselves in; and he
was presently obliged to return to he door. Be-
sides, the Fremhman was ready 10 fight for what
he conceived t. be his just rights, and gesticua-
ing furiously, exclaimed
'You is one rascalie, one sheat! You tempt
