. Corpse in a Junk Shon.

W
Recently o vessel arrived in New York
with a dead negro on board, one of the
crew, who had died of smallpox. The
captain, not desiring TO make the fact pub
lie, aud wishing to get rid of the corpse,
after n deal of profound thought, hit upon
n plan. Taking q walk along the piers, he
spotted a chap that he thought would an
swer his purpose, to whom he diyulged the
secret, asking his advice and assistance.
"Well now, said Bill, after hearing the
story, ~ can do the job for you right, pro-
yided You come down handsomely; that il,
if you'll skin up S15." The captain agreed
to give Bill $l2. 'Now listen, Captain;
you roll that darkey up in canvas, tie il Sc
curely and lay 1t upon the wharf, and await
events" As soon as the captain carried out
these instructions, Bill went of 10 A iunk-
man he knew, one of those very v%irtuous
traders who never buy stolen goods, told
him there was q nice roll of canvas near
by he thought he could freeze TO, and, said
Bill, Just you see how clean I'll do it,"
MIR. Junkman became very much interest
ed, and accompanied Bill 20 observe his
movents. Bill cDrelessly strolled along.
and, watching his opportunity, seized the
canvas and bore il TO the iunkman's cell
lar, where he threw it down on the floor.
A bargain was soon struck for the canvas
at the low price Of Sl2, After Bills de-
parture, the junkman, c%huokling over his
good fortune, examined the purchase. En-
ragged, he vowed vengeance upon poor Bill.
Wishing, however, to get rid of the corpse,
he concluded that IL was best 10 take il asa
joke, until ut least Bill had rendered him
valuable service. SO, after a short search,
he found Bill, who undertook to throw the
roll of anyas into the river. In doingthis
he was detected by one of our lynx-eyed
policemen, who gave him a long chase, but
did not catch him. Since then Bill has
given the iunkman a vide berth.
