"A SAILOR from oneFof the lake feet

amount Of fifty cents. Throwing
down bill, he said: "There is two
dollar bill-give me the cllange."I "A
glance showed the storekeeper that
the bill was "V," and hastily
sweeping it into the drawer, he gave
back the change After Jack was
gone the man went to the drawer, and
found that the bill was "V," to be
sure, but was little the worst coun-
terfeit ever seen. Indignant at the Il e
treatment, Jack was found by the
storekeeper and threatened, but Jack
was ready, and by conrad. showed
that he received but a dollar and a
half in change, so he could not have
given the man the bill. After little

A PEN PICTURE


Don Piatt, the racy correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial thus
writes of the late Presidential fishing
party: seaI
"The meanest part of the late cap
ture of the Administration, by the
virtuous old Simon Cameron, was in
the carting away of our Marine Band.
What in the old scratch they wanted
with full band on fishing excur-
sion confounds the will and bothers
the understanding. Such things are
common on the stage, because. they
are uncommon elsewhere. In the
imelodrama and the opera, when the
bandit, in the mountain gorge that has
no end of rocks built upon plank
floor, is about to tableaux, 20 females
in brief drapero and unlimited legs,
come out as the ballet, to full band.
Does the virtuous old Cameron con-
template something of the sort while
catching trout in the mountains of
Pennsylvania, that he has taken our
band? If so, I would suggest that
he drape his ballet troupe with the
principles of his party in, Pennsylva-
mia. If their nakedness is not exhib-
tied, then the DEVILS in it. What a
lovely group could be made of the
Goddess of Protection! The Yenera-
BILE Simon standing in the rear, one
arm supporting the old painted fe-
male, the other raised gracefully to
the Heavens; the goddess on the tip
end of her right toe, bends back until
her body makes perfect curve; then
she throws her left out on level with
the eye of the Administration that
