IueTe left this city, yesterday, carpet

spectacle mem Der Of the press gang
among those who DO not know the com
plexion OF his surroundings here. Tight
fitting pants, short coat, f8shy neCB-tie,
whale bone caue, short cropped hair,
knobby hat, and faint imitation Of the
swsgger OF Moss,n constitutes the
makeup Of the individual. who is also 8
member of the brigade" We are as
sured, however, by Duff, that no bills
contracted by him while awsy will be
