SELLING DRY GOODS.

People generally think that il is very
easy matter to stund behind a counter and
retail iry goods; but weeks experience
in the business would convince the clev-
crest man that it's much more difficult
and laborious than the task of turning
grindstone twelve hours per diem. The
office ofsalesmun embodics, in its duties,
necessity for the shrewdness ofa poliiici-
an, the persuasion ofa lover, the politencss
Of Chesterfield, the patience Of Job,
and the impudcnce Of pickpocket.
There are salcsmeu who make it point
never to lose customer. One Of these
gentlemen who is in u store in Chatham
street, not long since, was chilled TO show
to very tastidious and fashionable lady,
who dropped in while going to Stewards,
some rich silk cloaking Every article
of The kind wac exposed 10 her vicw-the
whole store was ransncked and nothing
suited. The costly material was stigma
tiZed as trash; every thing was common
and not fit for lady. She "gucsscd she

man pretended TO be indignant.
"Madam," said he, in lone Of injured
innocence, 81 have very beautiful and
rare piece Of goods-a case Of which

brother-in- law, but it would be useless to

the city"
ooh! allow me TO see it," she asked in
an anxious tone, and continued, 81 had no
intention Of annoying you, or Of dispurug.

Tho salesman, who was now watched
in breathless silence by his fellow clerks,
proceeded as with much reluctance, and
with expressions Of fear that it would be
injured by getting tumbled, to display an
ancient piece dsesing, which had been
lying in tie :.ore for five years, und was

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

We arc informed that, on the morning
of the 2lst inst, negro man, the proper
ty Of Mr.. WIN. Sanders of this District,
while leaving one Of his masters fields,
was struck by Lightning in the back of
the mock and killed Immediately. His
body appeared to be terribly burnt. A
negro woman, distant few feet at the
time Of tho accident, was stunned and
knocked down by the same stroke; and
some negro children, Mt no great distance,
wero stunned at tho same time. The
woman did no, recover for some hours.---
Our informant mentioned that tho light
ming had been known to strike in the same
spot, which il then struck, several times
during the past few years, which gives
rise TO the suppostion that there is at that
place probably bed Of iron ore, suf1i.
cient cause for tho attraction Of lightning.
