How A FIVE DOLLAR Bull WAS LOST
United States Treasurer Spinner Tuesday re-
ceived the following interesting particulars OF
the destruction of SIS note from genius
down in Georgia
DEAR SRI send you for redemption a
fragment of a So bill, the rest of which was
DESTROYED under strangely careless clrcumstan,,
ces. Having just received the bill, dropped
it in my pocket, in company with some ragged
tobacco, and after supper, taking a chew.
chawed money, tobacco and everything, leav-
ing scraps of the bill and fragments of the to,
bacco. Next morning [ discovered the SAD
catastrophe. and went for the mustcated
cud, but all traces of the money had vanished,
and. ''ike the baselcss fabric of vision, lett
not a trace behind.
Vainly was bending, looking, and with both
my eyes alooking,
Looking for my lost spondu!ic, like the lost
Plead of yore,
Looking for the well-chewn fragment which [
lost the night before,
Only this, and nothing more.
-Spuds," ouoth l, for thee l pineth. gone TO
where the woodbine twineth;
Gone. departed doomed and faded gone to
fragments deslcated;
Gone, as I've already stated, where thy worth
no longer shineth.
l follow-thou art gone before
Seriously, the money 1.-THE rest of it, is en-,
tirely destroyed, and if YOU wish the proof,
state so and enclose the note in the en-
veope send, and the proof shall be satistac"
tory Very respectfully.
