conversation, and asked the young lady if he might
see her home--the streets being dark and lonesome.
The young lady said sit the very favor she would
have asked.i Saying this, she took Mr.. Capron's
arm causing Mr. CBprons heart to flop about like a
blessed carp in a lime basket. They walked up
Broadway to Orange, up Orange to Van Setback, a
short distance above Chapel. Here the young lady
stepped upon the stoop, opened the door and invited
Mr. Capron to walk in and take seat in the front
room' Mr.. Capron replied, with pleasure, my love,
and took up his position in twelve shilling rocking
| chair. The young lady then took off her hat and
veil, and commenced feeling for match to light hel
lamp with. The young lady, after deal of trouble
found the match. The young lady lighted the match
and then touched off the lamp. The moment she die

"Why then, did you wish to accompany me home
Why did you call me q your dear?n
''Bah! Get my hat"
The young lady, as desired, handed Mr.. Capron hi

Mr. Capron made no response, but stormed to thu

Mr. Capron had barely left the stoop when colere'
gentlemen came from unexpected hiding place:
"What you been to see dat gal for?'
"What grl?''
''Der gal where you kicked der dog
"None of your business. Don't bother me?''
-" But I will bodder you. Never call on dat cool

Here Othello, with great DISREGARD for his person
al property, threw ten shilling oyercoat into mu
puddle, and pitched into Mr. Capron. The first bio
lifted Mr.. Capron about foot. The next laid him {

The police came and arrested the party. The colore
man. Mr. Wilson, was excused, and held to bail to al

lOag shots in the field but likewise at the board. In
awor, he WAS fond of dealing somewhat in the marvel
Gus while reconntng his exploits. Being aware that
he carried this practice to rather uwarrantable
length he commissioned his favorte colored servant,
Pete, to give him hint when he found him stretch
ing the truth too much.
One day, dining in company with sundry other
gentlemen he told some prodgous large stories, and
among the rest, of a fox he had killed, which had
tail twenty yards long. Honest Pete thought this
masters chair, he gave him nudge.
Twenty, did say? Perhaps I'm little too fast
but it was all of fifteen.H
Pete gave him second nudge.
"Eh, let me see. Twas ten, at least"
A third nudge.
Twas every inch of five.''
A fourth nudge.
"'Twas three, anyhow"
A fifth nudge.
The sportsman took all these hints in good part unit

cut down quite enough he turned suddenly to his ser
want, and exclaimed:
