traveller, then called for u room and or.
dered supper. It was true that had
very little money in my possession, -hot
enough, certainly, to pay my bill at the
hotel; but no questions we're asked, and l
gave myself litLle concern Us to tue iu'
ture. l had frst.rate appetite, and ate
voraCiously.
After supper was over, took my bum
die In my hand, and strolled leisurely into
o pleasant and spacious room, where o
number Of gcntlemen-English and Amer
ican-were sitting around In groups, some
chatting together, and others reading the
London and New York and Boston pa
pers. Among them l recognized the fhce
of merchant whom had seen several
times in State street; and singing the
strap over my shoulder in careless,
everyday sort Of tone, Just US any news
boy would have done ut home, ! went up
to him md said, "Havc the morning pa'
pers, mister ? morning papers ADDER
ttser, Journal, RDSt, Herald, last edition
published this morning, only five dollars!
Everybody in the room looked up, for l
managed, us ncwSboys generally do, TO
speak loud enough TO drown every other
sound: but no one uttered word. It
was evident that they thought ] was crazy
or something worse; and so Just cried
out again, "Have the morning paper, SrS"
at the same time thrusting copy Of the
AduertiSsr into his hand. lie looked like
an AdrertiSOr kind Of maxwell dressed
and highly respectable.
Inyoluntarily his eye glanced at tho
datc-"Tuesday, Feb. 10, 1867" and then,
in IN excited, quivering tone, he said,
Let me look at your other papers" There
was long table in the centre OF the
room, which i approached, and, slowly
unfolding my bundle, / laid u few Of the
papers wide open in front Of the gentle!
men, who crowded around in the highest
state Of excitement. Still there was dead
silence: when one Of them suddenly burst
out with the exclamation, Good heavens!
Here is q notice of the arrival Of The
Golconda' at New York, with full nc.
count of the cargo, and. everything else
correct. Why, this must be gcnuincV g
7 One after another followed with Q cry
of surprise at some news which they had
found; until, in q few minutes, every gen
tleman in the room was absorbed in read.
ing the papers, appearing to have entirely
forgotten all about me, and not caring to
ask how 1t was that l had brought them
10 China in less than twcnty-tour hours.
After had stood there whistling care.
lessly rs long as l thought worth while, |
spoke up in u loud voice, and said, well,
gentlemen, you seem to be enjoying
Tic news pretty well. Ihope you don't
mean to forget to pay for the papers
only five dollars copy" b.
At this speech every one OF them looked
at me with a strange expression, rs II
they hardly knew whether I was real
human boy or something else, when the
Boston gentleman said, " How on earth
did you get these papers hereGTo which
answered very carelessly, VI didn't get
them here on earth" Nit i
