An ingenious trek has been twice pracliced
upon the famous and fashionable house Of the
Slewarts in New York About year since, a
we'll dressed lady called in aud selected n
shawl the price of which was 5000. She hand'
cd thousand dollar bill which the clerk ques'
toned. She took il back, and appeared 10 be
indignant when on reflection she handed o.
yer another and genuine bill on the same bank,
and requested that ii be taken to bank. This
was done, and the bill pronounced TO be gen
nlne. The lady then put it in her purse, shak-
ing her pretty head ominously mt the clerk
who had dared to insnuate that her money
was not good. She startedto so out, the poor
clerk making all sorts Of apologies. But on
reflection she rcturned-the shawl pleased he'
1t was so very beautful-she would not per
init her excited feelings to deprive her of an
article that pleased her so well. She would
have the shnl put up The smiling clerk hid
and dollar bill on the same bank. The clerks
thought II was the same. They gave her
$400 change and the lair one left with the
shawl and the change. On making deposit
in the afternoon however they found that the
bill was a straight out counterfeit. The lady
had shifted the good and bad TO suit her own
purposes, s,coolIy leaving toe bad one III the
hands Of the Stewarts, carrying oil their $500
Of good money and their rich shawl. few
" eeks since we are informed the same line
trick was again played on the same house the
only difference being that the beautiful lady
on this occcasion took two 800 shawls, left
two one thousand counterfct notes, and re
c"ived back 5000 in good cash in change
