he Wasn't Very Green.

The WOrcest er mass Gazette, of the
9th inst. contains the following: The lit
tie billiard world of Worcester has been
rocked with a wave of excitement, and it
hasn't recovered entirely from the effects
of it yet. This is to tell how it happened.
1t seems that an individual, clad in gar
ments That must have come over in the
Mayflower, as for fashion or cut, visited
this city day or two since, and brought
with him large amount of greenbacks, of
which he made quite an open show. He
sauntered about Main street with gait
that savored strong of the bayfield,, and
with open countenance gazed intently into
the shop windows, expressing his approba-
ton or disapproval in true broad Yankee
dialect. He was set down as country
His actions were watched
by some fast young men, who, knowing
that he had large amount of stamps
with him, determined to transfer the afore-
said STAMPS into their own pockets.
They stepped up to him, and asked him if
he would like to see the teller hant,o and
as he had an intense desire to see the
animal, he asked how much it would cost
10 see the show? On being told that the adj
mission was free, he replied "that it was
cheap enough for half the money! He
was taken to one of those dens of vice,
beautifully furnished, called gambling sa-
looms, where he was easily induced to
stake something.n He maintained his
part well there, better indeed than on the
street A billiard table took his fancy, and
he expressed great desire to know its
use 1t was explained to him, and then
nothing would do but that he must learn
to play the game. He said: s'Father put
me To e'enamost any kind of work, and
alters did it up brown. Fact is / kin du
anything that put my hand tn. never
yet got stumped, and guess / won t here,
by saxafrax Guess Ill take that pole,
mister, and play a game of beel-yards-"
One of the highly amused company pres
ent offered to play him game of 1000
points for twenty-five dollars. Our young
man from the country closed with the offer
Immediately, and the game commenced.
At the same time the company began to
see that the part of their supposed rustic
friend was an assumed one, for the splen-
did game that he played gave evidence
that he had seen billiard table at least
once before. The end of it was that he
won the game by $50 points, and his OPP
ponent was one of the best billiard players
in the city. This Is another verifcation of
the old proverb, never judge by appear
ances."

in point lace for SO. New shapes are con-
stantIy devised. the cambria forming star,
octagon or square cross, with lace filing
the border to the usual shape. The new
handkerchief holder, invented last year by
Brown and Spaulding, slips over the finest
lace and uncloses with slide that permits
no crush to the filmiest fabric. To this
ring is attached tiny vase of gold con-
tanning drop of ottar of roses, shedding
perfume about the wearer.
Some rich Chantilly shawls and wells
were shown. The small, square veil, with
rounded corners, is the last style for real
lace, though the mantilla and scarf wells
are popular for young ladies. The mask
wells, with holes for the eyes, now worn
in Paris, is not likely to be admired here,
and it is not imported by the best lace
merchants. A square veil of fine Chantil-
