Another PinancierIng Triumph.


Mr.. EDrToR,-The Tale of Tub in your
Tuesdays paper puts me in mind of another
instance of financiering which one of our
traders came off second best. A manufactur-
e. from aHardscrabbls District, brought
load ofbirch brooms into town to sell, but find
ing them SLOW concluded to accept the offer
of $1.00 per dozen for the lot of twelve dozen,
one half IN cash, the other half in goods at
cost. After delivering the brooms, he received
the six dollars in cash, and was asked by the
buyer, what he would have for the balance
Taking survey Of the store, our rural friend
astonished the merchant by saying, "Wall, !
guess I'll take it in brooms at .$1.O0 dozen.
The six dozen "birches' were put on TO the
team again, while the trader tried to cypher
out the difference between half cash and half
goods. ~. - s. w.

IF anything were needed to make things
lively" in Cuba, the conscription that the
Spanish papers of that island are talking
about would furnish it. The government par
ty is already divided into two or three factions,
each having different object in view. With
the dangerous agitations incident to con-
scription, the "Gem of the Antilles would
become good deal like-the other place.
