A Good Joke,

> A rather odd joke was psrpetrated yes
terday afternoon on one Of our city photo
graphers by young man from the ooun-
try, who, notwithstanding his rustic looks
and smart country, sayings, which the
man with the camera laughed at, played
trick which would have done credit to a
New York coincidence" man, and left the
photographer in sad plight for few
hours. The man from the country, by
name George Wells, entered the gallery
to have his picture taken, and as he was
dressed in rather seedy suit Of clothes,
and was without collar or peck-tie, he re-
quested the photographer to lend him his
suit while the picture was being taken
AS this was common usage with the pho
tographer when country cousin patron
lied him, he dotted his collar, neck tie,
coat, vest and pants, for the use of his
Subject" but as the countryman's suit,
which he was to don for the moment,
seemed rather too suspicious-l looking for
the artists taste, he looked the door Of his
gallery on the inside, leaving the key in
the door, and, minus his clothing, he
:'sat" his simple friend for the PICTURE
The latter was, of course, instantaneously
taken, and the photographer rushed iuto
his "dark room" to place the picture in
the balh. While he was thus out of
sight, the countryman, quite captivated
with the new suit of clothes, unlocked the
door of the gallery and was nowhere to be
found when the photographer returned
This Was certainly queer situation to be
lett in, for the countryman had by no
means acted up to the maxim that "fair
exchange is no robbery" About an hour
elapsed, when friend making his appear,
ance was instantly despatched to the Po-
lice Office, and one of the detectives,
armed with the countrymau's picture,
went in search Of him, aud had been gone

The Shortest WaY.

Some twelve years ago, Napoleon, Ind,
was celebrated for two things, one for the
carousiug propensities of its citizens, and
the other for the great number of cross
roads in its vicinity. IL appears that an
eastern collector had stopped at Dayton to
spend the night and get some information
respecting his future course. During the
evening he became acquainted with an
old drover, whu appeared we'll posted as
to the geography of the country, and the
collector thought he might as we'll inquire
in regard to the best route to different
points to which he was destined
81 wish to 60 to Greenfield" said the
collector; "now, which is the shortest
way ?"
"Well, sir" said the drover, 'you had
better go to Napoleon, and take the road
leading nearly north"
The traveller noted it down.

"Go to Napoleon and take the road

lector, cycling the drover closely, and
thinking he was being imposed on.

''The collector looked at his note book
every direction had Napoleon on it, he be-
gan to feel his mettle rise, and he turned
once more to the drover with
"Suppose, sir, | wanted to go to his Sa-
tanic majes,y?"
The drover never smiled, but scratched
his head, and after moments hesitation
said: .I .......r ....-
"Well, my dear sir, I don't know of
any shorter road you could take than to
60 to Napoleon" ....... 4..t
