It was decided by the club that Mr.. Rein

publican organization in the interest Of certain

Nor QUIrE A JoKE---A clerk in ono of
the Departments, having In his posse,siou bonds
to the amount Of S4O0 In Ten Porties-the pron-
erty Of himself-on Thursday morning went as
usual to his place Of business carrying his little
treasure with him His coat hung up, he seated
himself TO his work, and 80 continued through.
out the day, having occasion but once to leave
the room, and then only for . few minutes.
About TO return 10 his lodgings, he missed the
bonds from his pocket. He was honifsd; all the
pleasant visions he had had Of q matrimonial
tendency, his union with his dear Rosa, were
now dispelled. No cottage furniture, no Brus.
ios carpet, stuffed chairs, or handsome tstsd-tsts
now pleasantly beguiled his optics; nought but
misery and ruin the bonds were gone, and worst
Of all, perhaps tho hand Of Rosa. He could not
imagine who had abstrncted tho valuable papers
He only realized the fact that they were non est,
and ho wrung his hands In grief
Warmly tucked beneath the ooverlets In his
bed, on Thursday night, dor II was COOL lay the
room mate Of our unfortunate friend, chucklng
to himself over something which seemed to do
light him vastly exclaiming, ever and anon,
"a joke, good joke" His good humor how
ever, was suddenly disturbed BY knock at tho
door, accompanied with the modest request that
the party or parties outside wished 10 como In.
Our friend under the bed.clothes rose at once,
and admitted tho two gentlemen outside, who
proved 10 be entire strangers to him, but they
Immediately unfolded their business 10 him,
which was that he would accompany them 10 po-
lice headquarters, there 10 answer and account
for the bonds which our hrst friend had lost.
Our ohuokling friends jaw fell his reveries were
not so pleasant; grated bars stone walls, and tho
physiognomy Of Warden Brown did not seem 20
cheerful as the happy Imagination which had run
riot with him whom ensconced between the sheets.
He quickly told the detectives (Messrs Claryoe
and McDcvitt) that the bonds had been taken In
Joke and placed safely in his desk al the oties,
his fellow-clerks being aware Of the circumstance
and that he would produce them In the morning.
He was allowed to return to his bed, there to ru.
inmate over the uncertainties Of jokes-of them
yesterday morning at police headquarters, he
produced the bonds, and giving satisfactory evi.
dence that II was joke, ho was allowed to do
part, his "sold " friend accompanying him, for
the mutual purpose Of drowning their past fright
In brandy punch at the Metropolitan.
