| DISTINGUISHED ARRIvAL-Gen. Earl Van Dorm
arrived here yesterday afternoon from Texas, ac-
companied by his military suite. We have not
been able to learn his destination.
| a SECRET WHICH SHOULD SoT BE ToLD--We
had jolly time yesterday circulating around the
| city, drinking, eating and smoking the best, treat
ing crowds, buying newspapers, apples and pea
nuts: and, in fact, every thing we could think Of,
regardless Of expense just as if the times were not
| hard. Many of our friends were astonished at our
extravaganza, and two or three who knew US inti-
mately, and to whom owe sundry small sums
of " borrowed" quietly expostulated with US, even
limiting that we had better pay honest debts, and
other such vulgar talk but were in for days
sport, and had it, all the time laughing in our
sleeve and consong ourselves that it was not
costing much after all In fact, the thing is big
one: and although it is a secret which should not
be told, cannot keep it, for after all, what is
the Of secret, unless you can tell it to some
one. Therefore, reader, prepare yourselves for
something astounding-so which will as
touish you more than Oh Abe was astonished
when his - on to Richmond" " army gave out on
the way This reporter did all his sprceing and
leasting on credt-actually upon tick. And that,
too without ever asking such favor from single
person from whom he bought. Whenever he
offered to pay he was always met with the reply
| ,fr ,Ic l., tIar
time l really have not the chauge,'' etc, etc.
Therefore this reporter considered it all right and
went it strong. The way he came to suddenly &C.
qure such hourishing credit was simply this: A
lady friend, who wished some small change for
house money, entrusted bill for ten dollars into
his hands, with the request that he would get it
changed for her.
When the reporter came up town it naturally
occurred to him that if he would go into of the
favorite drinking saloons on St. Charles street and
take cocktail he could get the change for the
lady. So in he went and took the drink, srnackeG
his lips, calculated grunt Of pleasure, and handed
out the ten dollar bill. The barkeeper took the
bill, went to his drawer and after fdmblng abou
for sometime, came back and asked if we had NJ
, small change. OF course we had not. It's seldom
we do have. Then' said he, you can pay fol
: the drink some other time" We looked at him
thinking he was insane; but no, he was the SAINT
smiling, well. dressed, well-combed and perfumeC
individual whom everybody knows to be as san
as men generally get to be. Therefore we took vi
the bill and came away. Shortly afterwards W.
tried to get change in the same manner at anothe
place, with the same result. Then we bought cigars
being sure to get change in doing so, bat find
| ing ourselves mistaken. 1t then occurred to u
! that we had found a big thing" and we deter
( | mined to play out our hand, and did so with tha
: energy and will which always charaCterizes every
~ thing we do. So magical influence did this bi
J. exert that we actually succeeded in getting sma
}. sums from parties with whom we had 'open &C
4, counts'' of the sort of several months standing
:, All we had to do to display the bill, and a
- objections would vanish and down would come th
' loose change. We enjoyed it, and hoped to enjo
it again to-day. But late in the afternoon say
at all our favorite drinking, smoking and eatin
= places, small placards with these ominous word
u upon them mo change at this counter for NOR
8 than fifty cents.n This blocked the game an
- blasted all our hopes. However, we still had tn
consolation of knowing that we could take one II
venge for such dastardly conduct by not payin
: them what we were forced to owe them Th
u thought somewhat restored temper, and W
: took a drink and paid for it out of some of tn
