TABLEAUX.-Our readers should bear in
mind that the exhibition of tableaux will
commence at Washington Hall this evening
We hope the exhibition will be we'll pa
tromzed by our citizens generally, as the
proceeds are to be devoted to the noble
work of alternating the sufferings Of sick
and wounded soldiers. We have all heard
and seen enough to enable US to form an
idea of what tue soldiers have endured
Surely there is nothing can call forth all the
energy and true feelings of our nature than
the pictures of suffering which have been
described from timeto time in the history
of the war A suffering wounded soldier,
with wounds bleeding afresh--without
bandages, lint, and other neeessaries, to
keep that precious life fnom shedding it's
last drop of blood-can we suffer this to be?
Have we become callous to this important
obect--lint and bandages for the suffering
and wounded soldiers. We hope our coun-
try's troubles have not robbed us of our
Good Samaritan feelings, but that the nat
ural promptings of our hearts will tend to
all our fellow creatures in distress,-be they
Fcderals or Confederates, let us wish to re-
live their sufferings.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO HooDwINK A
BAR.KEEpER.-Ye sterday evening fishing
party returned from Suntish on the steam
er Rat,er. On the way up several OF the
crowd, owing to the heat OF the sun and
that sent forth from the fire under the boil
ers, became arid, and determined to have .
Snip if such thing was come at able. AT
ter wandering through the extensive craft
until almost worn out, the fishermen
"smelt mice, and were soon within the
room set apart for those desiring "refresh'
ments" The glasses were quickly filed
aud as quickly drained. The fisherman who
''stood treat gave the bar keeper twenty
dollar gold piece to change. The liquor
vender picked up the coin, looked at it,,
threw it down upon the counter to see if i t
had the proper jingle, picked it up, sttemp-
ted to form an impression, upon. il with, his
teeth, and then again looked at it with q
Keen eye, and pronounced it |" no good"
A countryman happened in, at thatmo-
ment and was soon apprized of the attempt
to swndle the bar keeper. The verdant gen
teman took the coin, said he would change
it, and began to turn out his pockets to see
il he could raise twenty dollars of Chase's
shinplasters. He could not make the
change, and was unable to borrow enough
to secure the prize, although almost every
passenger aboard the boat was asked to 60
into the speculation. As soon as the joke
was over the fisherman paid greenbacks for
the drinks, pocketed the gold, and left the
bar-room, satisfied that gold currency
could not compete with paper money.
