'We here see in this sham, to purchase or

Unable, UNJUST aye reasonable propositions

Than this Cuba humbug, no more ruinous,
suicidal or villainous proposition was ever sub

the South, for as we have years ago conclu-
siyely shown, nothing in the future is more

SINGULAR ROBBERY or AN INDIGNANT Wo-
MANA lady in New York was robbed last
Saturday evening, under peculiar circumstan-
ces. Two well-dressed men accosted her, as
she stood on the corner of street waiting for
an omnibus, and offered TO hold her baby, and
otherwise assist her on her journey. She de-
cined their attentions, and entered n stage.
Her tormentors followed her, insisting on car
rying her child. She then stopped the omni-
bus, descended, and took passage in another;
the assiduous individuals still pursued her.
All this while the woman, having thought of
pickpockets on her mind, had carefully guard
cd her money; but finally her temper gained
the advantage over her discretion, and she
slapped the face Of one of the men apparently
defeated, they both eft--but they took with
them her twenty dollars, which that movement
Of anger had exposed.
