BY strict adherence to a legitimate issue upon

approval of experienced and sagacious financiers
of New York, Washington and Richmond

The gentleman being possessed of that
indomitable Yankee spirit, was determined
not to be outdone, and to win If possible.
The services Of negro were therefore
called into requisition /; whose droll
remarks and most bewildered appearance
of the proceedings, excited the risible ia
culties of the bystanders. The yankee
proceeded to strip himself of all his gar
ments and while engaged in taking his
shirt otf, his head projecting through the
linen, he suddenly stopped, with his shirt
on one arm partly resting on his neck, the
ncgro's eyes rolling ahout at the rate of
sixty lnots an hour, he wondered how in
tho world he could be pressed into the
bottle without hurting his body, The
magician replies
Z" 1t is easy enough sir the scrub broom
and arsh-brush will come l will rub
your body over with soft soap that's in
the pail then immerse your body in wa
ter, and will rub your briskly, until get
vou covered over with lather; and | shall
set YOU on your head then shall be
able to slip your body through the neck
OF the bottle with safety"
For moment the Yankee stood as if
thundcrstruck, and confounded. The ma
gician took up the broom, began TO mix
up the soap, and moved towards the yam
kcr, Just then the appearance of the ne
gro Was convulsive. That portion of his
face termed mouth WAS like the entrance
of tie Mississippi. and he yah, yahed. till
tho very window si!ls shook again.
In an instant the Yankee looked right,
then left, and as inspired by some magne-
tic influence, bolted right out of the
ring, took to his heels, amid the bursts of
laughter from tho crowd, which by this
time had considerably enlarged. The ne
gro yah, yahed, louder than ever, and
picking up the Yankees clothes, Obser-
we'd
"Debcl ofLim cher see dc like, Massa
Axauder, dat am dcblish good, by golly,
yah, yah, yah"
The magician and the gentlemen ad :
journed to the parlor, where they were
again Joined by the Yankee, who decla-
red to the magician his inability to pro-
coed through the ordeal of being bottled
and corked up; and heartily agreed to his
forfeiture of the wager, which the magi-
clan in his usual bland manner, ordered
to be used in furnishing an oyster supper
for the party. We need not describe the
events Of that night; suffice to say that
all went merry as marriage bell, As
this was Il sociological experiment. the
reader will readily excuse the gentleman
for his Notwithstanding under the
mesmeric influence of the magician.
