JEW VS., GENrnE.-An Isrealite in this
city, who had become involved, made over
his estate to his son, and was not generally
supposed to own anything. A few days
ago, young and vigilent lawyer received
an account for collection on said bankrupt
Igrealite, and by some means ascertained
that he had household furniture more than
the law exempted. So he promptly "went
| for tn On the day of sale the young law
yer and the jew were rival bidders. The
LAWYER bought in the furniture, but 10 and
behold, he had paid double price, and on
realizing the fact, sold out to the Jew at
half what he had bid. And thus, as usual,
the Jew beat the GENTLE on the ''last turn"
THE SAD RESULT OF TWISTING A Docs
| TAu.-Messrs. John w. Gates and Char
lev Cullen, while leisurely walking down
| the African Boulevard" better known as
:. Suck Alley" on Monday evening last,
espied n meek-looking - yaller dog" stand
| ing in an open door of brick wall, sympa-
tbetically gazing on his master at work.
The dogs tail hung out like banner across
the pavement, and Charley, who was next
| to the wall, could not resist the temptation
of giving it a twist as he passed The dog,
although "yaller dog" promptly resented
the insult to his banner, by tapping around
and biting John upon the right leg, serious
ly damaging a very fine pair Of doeskins.
Although the dog bit the wrong man, yet
he was right, for the man or beast that will
not eight for his flag deserves to die, and
this yaller dogs banner was by no means
an Indifferent one as to size. The moral Of
this is plain-young men, don't twist the
tails of ''yaller dogs"

THE OLpEN TINIE.-TAe "Bank Ex-
change" whose presiding genius is Morris
Weatherly, with spectaclts, has yenera-
BILE clock, that faithfully told the hours
thirty years ago. This venerable time
Nrtrfh TELLER has
upon its pure glass face, the picture Of
beautiful woman OF olden time, before the
days of bustles, chignons and plumpers,
and when the roses of health and beauty,
bloomed naturally in the cheeks Of all the
healthy fair OF the land. Upon the oval
doom of this ancient clock, is perehed the
emblematic bird of American freedom,
golden feathered, with out-stretched wings,
and = EpEuribuS URuu5" written ali over
his gilded front and flashing tail. He sits
| there, wrapped in the solitude of his own
glory, listening the solemn knell Of the de-
! parting hours, and gazing down into the
faces Of the numberless practicers at the
bar, to see if he can recognize among them,
an acquaintance of the olden time. This
venerable clock, relic of period now IN
its twilight, the beautiful face that adorns,
| like a diamond set in orient gems, its pure
| glass front, and the "Epluribus Unum,.
Eagle, whose golden wings canopy its sumit,
are all suvenirs of those perfect plaiz,
practical olden times, when whisky was
pure and men honest. However there is
! some consolation in the fact that while in
| dulging in Bachanalian revelry at the BANK
EXCHANGE, that neither the clock, or the
| fair face in the glass, or the golden eagle
| over head. will frown upon the whisky,
wine or brandy used in the feast. 1t is as
pure as that of the olden time when men
were honest. If there is a Thomas who
| doubts this fact, all that he has to do, is to.
go and listen to the regular strokes of this
ancient cloek-gaze upon the fair face Of
its beautiful tailsman, OBJ serve the patriotic
| splenders of the " Epluri6us URuH Eagle
and try the whisky which Morris serves
and guarantees 10 be as pure as in the olden
| time when the clock ETC., was in its youth,
and marked the leeting hours for honest
men.
