The Troy IN. Y Times tells this story
TLere is certain barber's shop, which We
will not lccae, further than tessay that it
Is within mile or less, of the. American
House. 1t is kept by a military proprie
tor, who shall be likewise anonymous. Ode
of his tonsorial corps is q yentriloqGist and
q veg one Of his constant patrons is q
Democrat and q Water Commissioner. -
/ Last Saturday evening there was, as usual.
q crowd at the Majors. Risors we're
scrsping and la,her flying as fast as If the
shop was to be closed the next day. At
this juucture, Commissioners S j.. en- cred, and
SO did Me hodist minister. Tue former
sat down to be shaved 10 The chair o,
which the ventriloquist was operating the
latter retrea.ed gIo-a bath room out OF
sight, but within hearing Of the tousorial
department.. The Commissioner began TO
lalks politics'--which is very. fashionable
Just now-uud defended Democracy with
much vehemeuce. The spirit Of mischief
tempted the ventrilCquist barber TO thow
his voice into The balbing.room occupied
by The Methodist minister, aud aus wered
the arguments of the Commissioner with
Union talk, as forcible as the McClellsnism
OF the outsider. The Illusion was com
plete--evcry word seemed to euiana,e from
the Stats Of the thin patron which divided
the, outside shavers from the inside barber
The controversy grew fast and furious
Every thrust Of the Commissioner was
handsomely retorted by the Invisible voice.
Even the customers 10 the chairs were de.
ceived; aud, as for he minister, be wonder.
ed who was doing all the talking in tone
and with sentiments that SO nearly resem.
bled his own. DaaS aa gt ,sa
81, Commissouer-rll bet yon 6f y dollars

Invisible voice-I'll take that wager Just
wait till pin my collar. Get your money
ready. COMMISSIONER Hurry np your
,essing ! can't wuit all night. Voice
Yes, I'm on the last button just at this
moment. the unsuspectng minister issued
like secoud Dogenes from the seclu ion of
his tub, and walked ont into Ire main
room Not thinking himself an Object oil in
terest, and yet wondering at the stir his ad
yeut created, he gave the srbaue Major a
ticket and starte towards the door. Ii old
Oh ! shouted the Comm: ssioner with green
backs in his hand wher's that bet you
were going to t-ke? What do you mean.
81; replied the minister, never tet 1t
rs ogainst my principles. The issues of the
campaigu are too important 10 be settled
by u wager. You arc labo:ing under some
mistake.
So he walked out, while the Commis-
sioner set up a loud laugh at his imaginary
victory He boasted TO all his friend.
how he had backed down an aboltionist ;
and he was not undeceived until Monday
when the ventriloqpst made an open con-
fession.
