A RICH CASE OF sNoBBERY-THE Ca

of their leading stars, but who, havin
shone with 6ofYoped light, has been re
moved to a different sphere. As the own

His yachting parties in the Julia, which
yacht cost $40, 600, We're the admiration
and envy of all the fast young men of tn,
city. One hundred baskets of champaign,
were bought on credit for the summer sup
ply of that boat. His credit was gooc
every where, and State street began t
look up to him as the coming man.

company. There was to be sailing match
a short time since, and the "Julia' was
invited, but her snobbish owner would not

all the gentlemen in the other yachts. Sud
denly there came a collapse, and he went
into chancery with debts amounting to
$500, 600, and not dollar to pay with. He

been living and trading on credit from the
start. Sometimes he was fortunate in his
speculations, but recent fluctuations in
gold and inseed oil floored him, and fin
ished what extravaganza began. His
yacht, which cost more than a thousand
dollars month to supply, has passed into
the hands of his brother. His fast horses
and his club room friends are all gone, and
only the interference of Influential connec-
tons saves him from the reception of legal
documents which would require his i'm
mediate presence at the Cambridge street
Jail. He owed Geo. Baty Blake 500, 900 ;
| the firm of Lee, Croker & Co. have sus-
pended in consequence of transactions with
him; and Naylor 81 Co., and Thayer Il
Brother are each about $4,000 out by his
rascalities. A day or two before he failed,
he borrowed $4,000 of firm on Devonshire
street, and when asked what he had done
| with it, coolly replied that he knew he was
going to fail, and he thought he would pay
off some Of his small yacht debts. This
| was done to give a clear bill of sale of the
yacht. Never has young man in Boston
gone up faster than he did, during the past
five years, and none have ever come down
| quicker.-Bostora Gazette.

most approved French fashion. The hus-
band, named Daily, a laborer, left the fol-
lowing explanatory epistle, which was pro-
duced at the coroner's inquest:
Dear friends, i take the pleasure of writ

A. LITTLE Observation-Disclosures who
visit the sick soldiers and do good in the
hospitals, occasionally get CLEAN of fun
among all the sad scenes, for any wag who
has been to the war seldom loses his hu-
NOR. though he may have lost all else save
that and honor. Witness sketch from
life:
c., good soul, after taking all the lit
tie comforts he could afford to give to the
wounded souldiers, went into the hospitals
for the fortieth time the other day, with his
mite, consisting of several papers of cut
chewing tobacco-solace for the wounded.

a poor fellow lay cheerfully humming a
tune, and studying out faces on the papered
wall "Got a feyer?" asked G. NO. an

the truth, it's pretty well scattered. First,
there's bullet in my right arm-they
hain't dug that out yet, One in my right
leg-hit the bone-that fellow hurts. One
through my left hand-that fell out.-And

places this year. With you it rests to save
what there is, of every kind, for the noble
