How Hook got his Dinner.

HNHE following characteristic anecdote
l. of Theodore Hook is given in
Baream's life of that extraordinary man.
One of the streets near Soho Square, either
Dean Street or Firth Street, was the scene
of action. Hook was lounging upon one of
those streets in company with Terry, the
actor, when they saw through the kitchen
window preparations for handsome din
ner
"what feast p said Terry. "Jolly
dogs p' l should like to make one Of
them"
"I'll take any bet," returned Hook,
"that do call for me at ten O'Clock, and
you'll find that shall be able to give tol-
erable account of the worthy gentleman's
champagne and venison."
SO saying, he marched up the steps, gave
an authoritive rap with the FURNISHED
knocker, and was quickly lost to the sight
of his companion. AS matter of course
he was Immediately ushered in by the SER
want, as an unexpected guest, into the
drawing-room, where q large party had al
ready assembled. The apartment, being
we'll nigh full, no notice was taken of his
intrusion, and half dozen people were
laughing at his bon mots before the host
discovered the mistake. Affecting not to
observe the visible embarrassment Of the
latter, and ingeniously avoiding the OPP
portunity for explanation, Hook ratified on
till he had attracted the greater part of the
company in circle near him, and some
considerable time elapsed ere the old gen.
tleman was able to catch the attention of
the agreeable stranger.
beg your pardon" he said, contriving
at last to get in word "but your name,
sir,--I did not quite catch it--seryants are
SO abominably incorrect, and am really at
loss
"Don't apologize, beg,' graoiously in
terposed Theodore. Smith--my name is
Smith--and as you justly observe, servants
are always making some stupid blunder or
another. l remember a remarkable in
stance" etc.
"But really my dear sir" continued the
host, at the termination of the story illus
trative of stupidity in servants, "I think
the mistake on the present occasion does
not originate in the source you allude to
/ certainly did not expect the pleasure OF
Mr. Smiths company at dinner to-day"
No dare say not, you said four in
your note know, and now, ! see, quarter
past fve-you are little fast by the way
but the fact is, have been detained in the
city, and I was about to explain when"
"Pray," exclaimed the other as soon as
lie could stay the volubility of his guest,
"whom, may ask, do you suppose you
are addressing9"
"Whom? Why, Mr.. Thompson, Of
course-old friend Of my father have
not the pleasure, indeed, Of being person
ally known to you, but; having received
your invitation on my arrival from Liver

A Badly Sold Landlord.

NNHE people of Jacksonville, Florida,
Il arc having their fun over one of theil
hotel keepers. The story is told as fol-
lows: A rough-looking man entered the
hotel and wrote his name upon the register
His face and hands were sun-burned, and
his eyes looked bloodshot The watchman
thought that he detected smell of whisky
about his clothes. A gray flannel shirt,
torn coat, dirty breeches, and scaly bregans
were all that the visitor wore. The watch
man gazed at him few seconds, as if I'M
decided whether to kick him out OF allow
him to remain.
"CoulG | have rooms placed at my SER
vice?" inquired the hard-looking customer.
Watchman hesitated. He eyed the ap-
plicant very closely and smelled of him.
There was taint of liquor in the air.
"0h, you want room, do you, old fell
fellow p" the watchman said. "Well, just
step here moment, and keep your hands
in your pockets while l run up stairs
and see if the landlord will assign you
one."
"There's man down stairs wants a
room," the watchman said.
"Who is he ?" inquired the Deacon.
"a drunken old Irishman," was the
reply,
''What does he look like >" was the in
terrogatory.
"Look like?" repeated the watchman.
"He's the worst looking Irishman that
ever saw, and he's drunk
"Well, slap him in No. 40. guess
that's good enough for him." ..
~ guess that it's better than he ever
had before" answered the watchman as
he closed the door.
Down stairs he dashed. The baggage
was all safe. The Irishman stood facing
the register with his hands in his pockets,
"This way, old fellow" the watchman
exclaimed, again mounting the steps. The
old Celt followed him. No. 40 was a
cramped apartment in the top of wing of
the hotel Immediately over the kitchen.
The carpet was dusty, the nose of the
wash pitcher was broken, and the furniture
generally was not calculated to please a
fastidious taste.
"Is this my room?" the Irishman
asked.
"Yes, this is your ROOM" replied the
watchman.
swell, then," said the Celt, 81 must
tell you that this won't do. want larger
apartment, one that is well furnished and
with sooparier accommodations.
"oh, you do, eh Isuppose you would
like the ladies' parlor. You can consider
yourself mighty lucky to get this room. If
l was the proprietor would hoist you into
the hay now"
The old Irishman stared at the watch
man in perfect surprise. It was some
seconds before he could catch his breath.
"pm. greatly obloiged to ye for your i'm
pertinence," he said, "but If cawn't find
accommodations here must go where
l can find them"

DIED az the sra,iou.House.

Last Monday a white woman named
Lizzie Wise accidentally fell into the
bayou and was saved from drowning by
some white men who fortunately hap
pened to be near by. She was carried to
the station-house in an almost insensible
condition, and was fined ten dollars by
the Recorder. Yesterday morning she
had been complaining and took seat
on tub in the corner of her cell. In
an hour the turnkey, when making the
rounds, discovered that she was dead.
Esquire Miller held an inquest and the
jury returned a verdict in accordance
with the above facts.
Lizzie Wise was from Atlanta, Geor.
gia, and had been residing here some
time Her husband died during the yell
low fever epidemic last year. A young
man to whom she was engaged called at
the station.house for the purpose of pay
ing her fine, but he only arrived in time
to attend the inquest of the unfortunate
woman.

Fire this Morning.

At 81 o clock this morning, owing to a
defective hue, fire broke out at the
residence of Captain E. A. Cole, No.
400 Shelby street. The fremen were
soon on the ground and suppressed the
flames before they got under Roadway.
The roof and upper story we're damaged
by fire, and the property and furniture
were considerably damaged by water.
Captain Cole had his furniture insured
for two thousand dollars. The building,
a large two.story frame, is situated on
the northeast corner of Shelby and
Vance streets, and is owned by General
James d. Ruffn.
