THEY have sharp set of fellows in Kansas
city. We heard good story of trick played
by one of the residents of that city short
time ago. A lean,, lank, shsllow'faced indi:
.yidual rode mule into Kansas city, and
wanted te sell him. A genius standing by,
offered to sell him for FIVE dollars. The offer
was taken, and the mule disposed of. the auc.
tioneer warranting n good title. Thu purcha.
ser scarcely got his mule home, when Shaw
nee Indian'came into the city in search Of
mule that had been stolen from him. The
auctioneer was on hand again, and offered to
show the Shawnee where the mule was, if lie
would plank down V. The Indian paid,
and the auctioneer after pointing out the mule,
went to the new purchaser, and told him how
the case stood, OF the same time Offering to
run the mule across the river for ten dollars.
The bargain was struck, and the auctioneer
mounted the mule, and that is the last that
has been seen of the auctionecr or mule.

A New Game.

"Pool" is q game extravagantly INDUCED
in at Buffalo The game is played on a bill.
lard table, with twenty or thirty balls, each
ball numbered, the numbers running from
one up. A dozen or more can join the game.
A certain number is fixed upon, and the play.
er who shall first pocket enough balls whose
numbers will amount to it, wins the pile,
which is made up by the players stalking q
certain amount each before the game CON-
mences. Previous to the commencement,
each player draws marble from box and
puts it out of sight in his pocket. These
marbles are oil numbered to correspond with
numbers on the table. The player, after re.
ceiving his marble, recollects the number, and
his game is to pocket balls enough, the num-
bers of which added to that of the marble in
his pocket will make the number which wins
the pile.
The Republic tells q good story of an ad-
venture an old gent passionately fond Of
"pool" had, few nights ago. He is occa-
sionally given to chance in other games, it is
intimated. Well, he came home very late
from seige at {" pool" His wife was asleep.
When she awoke in the morning she found
upon the floor marble which had dropped
out of her husbands pocket when he came to
bed, upon which were the figures "l7.';
"What is this 2" said she to her lord. Lord
opened his eyes, looked, blushed, was confused,
and stammered "why-why...it's marble, amt
it?" eyes," said she, but what are you
doing with marble in your pocket ?" " In
my pocket !-well-ah THE fact is, I've had
that marble in my pocket for the last thirty-hve
years-ever since l used to play for keeps
with Bill - "Indeed" !" incredulously
asked his wife-but what are these figures on
here for :? what does II mean ?" "l7 mean ?"
said he hesitatingly-" Oh! l72-why that
was the number Of marbles Bill owed me
when we quit playing, he marked it on there
so wouldn't forget it." The old fellow had
narrow escape, and hasn't played any more
"pule" since.

MASSACHUSETTS LAwYERs.-lt appears by
the annexed that tthesmenibers.o Of the Bar: In
Massachusetts are so loose in their financial
arrangements with plaintiffs, that the Legisla'
ture regarded it necessary to pass a law COM
pelling them to disgorge funds received for
their clients instead Of pocketing them.
Among the laws passed by the Legislature
of Massachusetts, at its late session, was one
relating to the "Collection Of money fraud.
ulemtly Withheld by Attorneysat-law,' which
declares that if any nttorncy.at.law shall
unreasonably neglect to pay any money col
lected by him for and in behalf Of any client,
when demanded by the client, he shall forfeit
and pay to such client five times the lawful
interest of the money from the time Of the
demand until it is paid A clause is added
to the Act for the punishment of frau
dulent debtors, by which if an Attorney is
under arrest for money collected by him OF
the debtor in behalf OF the creditor, that lie
has unreasonably neglected to pay over, he
shall not receive his discharge under the provi.
sions of the act concerning imprisonment for
debit except by giving bonds for the payment
of the due, with costs"
