were short of papers, and that their large
edition was not quite sufficient for the de-
mand. The individual who holds forth in

the door, began buying copies from the
news-boys for subscribers who called at the
Office for their papers While he was thus
engaged at the door opening on Vine. street,
a ragged urcbin slipped in the door from
Fourth-street, and taking the three papers
from the file, slipped out again unperceived,
and, going to the other door, sold them to
the counting. room man for ten cents. The
"sell" was a good one, and with the charac-
teristic appreciation and liberality of the
establishment the Office employees gave in
formation to apolice officer to arrest the boy,
who had not only sold the papers, but one Of
