"WHo SDoLT DAT BUPPY ?"-Yesterday
while prowling round in the south end of
town we met gallant Teuton, partner
OF ours, man of plenty fat, and huge
moustache. He appeared to be excited
His shirt sleeves were rolled up, his head
was bare and his wrath was UP. Spying
us he said Here, Sbivins, you knows every

scription that we--couldn't tell who sssdolt

of our great knowledge.
DANGEROUS .CoUNTERFEIT-Tbere has
been put in circulation two dollar bill,
which purports to have been issued by the
National Union Bank, Kinderhook, N. Y,
which Is so well executed that it NAV de-
ceive the very elect. 1t is dated July 1st,
1865, but looks as though it had been just
Issued. 1t has upon its face large figure
2, lengthwise of the bill, and upon the left
end a female portrait holding flagstaff.
with the stars and stripes. The bill has
darker appearance than the genuine; the
eyes of the female, in the vignette are two
black dots, and the mouth has a pursed up,
wobegone look. , The words National
Union Bank look as though faded out, in
contrast with the balance of the engraved
work. 1t is lettered. "a" and numbered in
red in two places: 334O2 and 2370. Look
out for Is on this bank. 5fs3--
THE PLEASURE OF BEING POLICEMAN.
1--WE have often wondered that some poet
has not sung the pleasures of being night
policeman. They are supposed to be the
happiest fellows in existence. They don't
have to go to bed at all, and can wander
about and find the coolest places, occa-
sionaIly taking a. aIglass of ice water at the
door of some, "peep o'day house." They
can stay out all night, and not be COM
PEELED to make an excuse for it in the
morning. A night policeman's wife never
says "Well, now, where did you hang out
last night?" At the present attitude of
the mercury it is far pleasahter to walk
the streets than to 90 to bed. Who wouldn't
be night policeman
