SOME OF THE Pics JoKEs.-The Plea
yunes local of yesterday morning makes
the assertion, upon what authority it does
not state, that the proprietor of the "Pa-
vilion,o at the National theatre building,
keeps an orderly house, and newspapers do
him great injustice by representing other
wise. What newspaper pretends to be SO
depraved as assert otherwise? Does not the
proprietor of this establishment keep beyy
of female ''orderlies" constantly in attend
ance to receive 'erders" for sl1t lager? A
disorderly house indeed, when a pretty
waiter girl, with short dress, delicate foot,
well-turned calf, and happy smile, is ready
to anticipate every wish of guests. Perfect
order always reigns triumphant in such re-
spectacle assemblages as congregate at the
Pavilion, and the report Of fight there
was started by some unprincipled wretch
who had nothing else to do.

There were two provisors connected with
the invitation, however, one Of which
was, that, whatever we might saw Upon
the subject. we should keep his name
and the locality Of bis dwelling iuyio-

should come alone. We begged hard
for the privilege Of companion. but
