A SMALL SoRIMMAGE.-One Henry
Warner had a Misunderstanding with
his landlady, who could not admire his
ways. She requested the negro to leave;
but Henry thought the woman was in
sulting, and made some remark which
called down upon his head the broom
stick. That made his angry passions
rise; so he handled the crinoline species
rather roughly, for which ungallant
action he was compelled to pay Eve
dollars.
