Little and Nothing Of it.

Old Johnny McGill resided, during
the war, in East Tennessee. Guerrillas,
representing both parties, kept it so warm
in that forsaken region that it was dan
gerous to belong to either side, McGill
had, in trying to ride both horses, gotten
several boot jackings from first the reb-
els and then the Yankees. AS all gueril-
las dressed alike, he made several mis-
takes in trying to pass for either Union
or Southern, as he thonght would suit
the crowd. At last he was overtaken by
a party whose politics he couldn't even
guess at, and the following dialogue en-
sued
"Sir, are you Union man?"
"No sir" responded McGill.
care you rebel then ?"
"No sir, am not rebel either"
"Then what in the devils name, are
you :" roared the captain.
"Well, sir" hesitated McGill, "to tell
the real truth, Pm-nothing-and but
ID little Of that !"

Badly Sold.

MOT many days ago there was rath-
~ er loud'' woman down here, says
the Cape May Wave, rich and vulgar,
swooping around with her daughter and
putting on more airs than you could grind
out of hand organ. One man, who was
disgusted at the aristocratic pretensions
of the couple, thought he would have a
little fun at their expense. So one day
he pointed out a good-looking fellow who
was passing the hotel, and mentioned to
the woman, in sort of careless off
hand way that the good-looking fellow
was a lord, who had just arrived in the
country and was stopping for while at
Cape May. This woman, you under
stand, wanted an introduction, so that she
could set her daughter at work to ropein
this scion Of noble house. The stran-
ger was presented the next evening in the
parlor; and this designing being of a
mamma, began to gush right over him,
She kept on exclaiming how much she
had always admired the English nobility,
and how much she longed to see them in
their own beautiful homes; and then she
asked this man if he did not sometimes
long for his island home, and hate the
society of the vulgar Americans, and
sigh for his high-born companions At
last the man turned around and said she
must have made mistake; he didn't care
red cent for aristocracy; he had no is
land home, for he came from Germany !;
and he had no high-born companions, un-
less some of his friends were born in a
garrett So this woman rose right up and
pranced out to the fellow who introduced
her to the aristocrat, and she said
See here! | thought you said that
man was lord !"
$50 he is was the reply; "hc is the
landlord of the Dutch hotel round the
corner there. Nice man, isn't he 7"
