How TIE BRuIsERs GOT A FREE DINNER. The
Police Gasette sketches the return of the bruis
sers from the great fight. The scene at Baggs'
Hotel, in Utica, is given thus:
a vote was taken inthecar as to which house
they would go to- and as Baggs charged most,
and they didn't mean to pay anything Baggs
house was the proper house o.gozto, and upon
vote twas unanimously agreed that they,shouid
all patronize Baggs Hotel. Baggs is a good
fellow; l. know him well, said one. tsLet us
patronize the poor devil" said another HHe

life; letus sklnihim, for once; Ile can stand it

down to table with covered head. The table
was set, and everything was in readiness. The
bill oftare, however, was unsatisfaetory and for
a few minutes the dining room was a perfect
Babel. "Old hoss, bring me this and bring me
that chicken here, turkey there, roast beef, fried
eggs and mutton chops,'' resounded from all
parts of the room. Every dish, conceivable and
|inconcIevable, was ordered, accompanied with
the threat that If it didn't come Quick. thew
would chew the waiter up. One fellow, who
mistook some red Jelly for brandy and water,
got up and gave three cheers for Morrisey, and
asked Mr.. Lannigan (the light,weight fighter,

beheld in a crowd before-one oftheringleaders
got up on his pins and asked ifthey were salts

precision. "March!n No sooner was the order
given than. the tramp ofeighty men was heard
progressing through the dining-room to the hall.
There they were met by the landlord, who an
ticipated his fifty cents head, but instead of
that he otknocked on the head, and was sent
rolling in the gutter. The ''roughs" then en-

and fare, formed the topic of conversation until
they reached Albany.
A STRoSG APPEAL, The last number of the
Coles County, ~, Ledger contains an appeal to
delinquent subscribers which ought to move the
hardest heart. 1t Is mean for folks to die of
without settling up for their newspaper. Won
der what kind of obituary notices they expect?
But here is, what the Ledger man says:
Pay UP.-Wc want money to buy bread and
paper, and to pay debts with. VAL our SUBJ
ScribeTS pay up? With hundreds of dollars on
our books some of which has been owing more
than year, we can scarcely get enough to buy
q halEgrown chicken. Men who are perfectly
able to, pay, are owing us money, and weintcnd

be to pay. Our. subscribers are dying, and run
ming off, every day, and we can't stand it, We
can partially excuse those who die without pay
ing, because we know where they go; but our
hottest indignation is reserved for those soulless
wretches who sneak out of the country in the
middle the night, and leave their printer bills
unsettled. In the language of q cotemporary,
us there not some chosen curse-Some special
Icaiamity-in the secret store house of fheavcn;is.
there not some hidden thunder, red with uncoln-
mon wrath, to blast these wretches2"

"Under a tree.n
"Iake my seal and summon that tree" said
the judge. Go, young man, and tell the tree
to come hither, and the tree will obey you when
yon show it my seal"
The young man went in wonder. After he
had been gone some time, the Khazce said to the
old man: -.
"IIeis long do you think he has got there.

he has not got there yet"
