policy, instead of putting On dozen inefficient

'TATERs AND MATIsEs. An old dar-
key whose voice is familiar to every citizen in
"meon times" was busily engaged in crying TIA
tiers and matises' Shockoe Hill last Tuesday al
ternoon, when he was hailed by a lady, who de-
sired to purchase of those excellent vegetables
The conversation ran thus:
Lady.-"I say old man, have you any fine pota.
toes in your cart2"
Darkey-(L Looking around to see II any of the
police were in sight or hearing and driving bis
mule up to the gate) ''God bless you, missus,
amt got no Eaters matises, don't raise SIGH
things at our house. much. but then ia got the
finest water milon here you seen dis year-the
only left of the load-which you can have for five
cents"
Lady.-''Wen, bring it in, and I'll take it."
In the twinkling of an eye, the darkey had the
melon in bag, half filled with straw and resuming
the cry of fine taters-nice matses," marched
into the house, delivered his fruit, received his pay
and started homeward, perfectly delighted al the
idea of having out-generalled the police for once,
and fed the good people of Shockoe Hill on the
finest melons that ever grew in old Hanover.
Since the passage of the ordinance prohibiting
the sale of melons, the lumber brought to the city
has been greatly diminished, but that those who
love them now get and use them whenever they
please, there is not shadow of doubt.
