THE DucE COMA gentleman Of
New York was going out in his car
riage to make calls with his wife, when
he discovered that he had left his visi-
ting cards in his chamber. He ordered
his footman, recently come into his
service, to go to his mantle-piece in his
room, and bring cards he should see
there. The servant did as he was
ordered, retaining the articles to be
used as directed and off started the
gentleman, sending the footman in with
the card, whenever the ssnot at home"
occurred. As these were numerous, he
turned to his servant with the question:
"How many cards have you left %
"Well, sir" said the servant, very
innocently, sthere's the king ofspades,
the seven of hearts and the ace of
clubs left"
"The duce," exclaimed the master.
"That's gone," said John, II left it
at a house in Fifth Avenue"
That servant was trump.

~ John Washington, aid of the
rebel Gen. Johnston, who was taken
prisoner at the battle of Fair Oaks,
graduated at West Point only last
year. On his person was found book
containing complete list Of the Fed
eral Army, its divisions, corps, regi-
ments and officers, together with their
disposition before Richmond. Thus it
appears, that traitors still throng onr
camps, and convey the most complete
and accurate information Of our con-
dition and plans to the enemy. For
tunately.' on his person, and in the
same book which contained the dispo-
sition and number of our forces, was
as full and complete statement of the
rebel force now under Gen. Johnston,
and its disposition likewise.
