SHARP PRACTIcE.-A scamp by the name oc
Donaldson entered a Broadway tailoring shop
on Tuesday, and requested the shop-man to
show him the best and thickest coat In the
shop. The shOp-man of course obeyed the OF
der, and handed down an Overcoat thick as a
board, and worth some twenty Eve dollars.
How do you like that, sir2''
like the cloth very much; please put it
on and let me see how it looks in the back"
The shop-man of course did this.
" Be SO good as to button it up-the lower
buttons aud all. :"
The coat was Shanghai, and reached below
the knees, with button every four inches
The shop-man having buttoned it mp, as desir-
ed, again asked the stranger how he liked it.
He replied FIRST rate" and immediately
seized piece Of silk velvet, and dsrted out of
the door. The shop-man undertook to rush
after him, but be was 20 encased and button
ed up that the race was like putting lobster
against a locomotive The rascal made good
his escape Tho velvet is worth some forty
dollars. This we think comes under the head
of very sharp practice.

AN INCIDENT or WESTERN TRAvEL.-A
correspondent Of the Springfield RsnnhI;..1
writing from the West, relates the folIovins
incident OF travel, which occurred at A hotei
in Vincennes, Indiana.
While the landlord WIS showing me To NV
room, an old gentleman entered. and asked r
he could have a room with a FIRE, saving he
was very sick with chill and fever, and must
have a warm bed. The landlord told him that
he would prepare a room for him shortly and
after having shown me to mine, left me TO muse
over the re sources Of a landlord, who could
furnish guests with comfortable rooms with
fires, when he hadn't a room in the house with
less than three occupants.
In my room were two beds and one of them
was occupied by a conductor. But few min
utes elapsed after the landlord had left me,
before he returned and called the conductor
up, telling him that it was nearly time for his
train to leave. The conductor hurried down
in great haste, but had hardly gone when the
landlord entered with the old gentleman,
shaking with the chills, and sxcIaiming,
where s your fire, landlord il 6 as cold as a
barn here L shall catch my death Of cold 80
"Oh," replied the landlord, in a bland est
voice imaginable. IL haven't a room in the
whole house with a firo in it; but see what
have done, have had your bed nicely warm
ed for you, so that you will be as comfortable
as though there was FIRE, and it's much bet
ter for your health :"
"Ah, this docs feel more like it," exclaim-
ed the old gentleman, putting his hands under
the bed cover, to feel the effect produced by
the landlords patent warming pan, while that
kind hearted dispenser Of comfort made his
exit, leaving me TO split my sides with laugh
ter for the remainder of the night.
The story was too good to keep; and there
fore as soon ss the landlord made his appear
ance next morning, L pitched into him about
it.
Oh, say nothing about 1t, said he, s'keep
mum, and I'll stand treat"
No you don't L replied, eff your liquor
is as bad as your house, you don get any off
down my throat"
