writes -" Just after we left Rounceville,
Judge o., of Charlottesville, commenced
his jokes, and soon had all the passengers
in roar 'sI'll tell you what l can do, "
said the judge to correspondent Of a
New York paper "you may think of any
tune you please, whether ! have heard it
or not, and by seeing you keep the time
with your fingers, can tell what you are
playing" The correspondent was skepti-
cal. After thinking moment, he CON-
menced piano-playing on the back of the
seat in front Of him, with all the grace Of
professional. What am I playing

triumph. "You are playing the fool, =

Mcguire was cycling the mixture with

The ready-made clothing dealers in
Chicago appeal to the cupidity of chance
customers to get rid of the shop-worn gar
ments. They put fat pocket-book in an
inner pocket, tell the stranger that the
coat was made for Mr.. St. Clair, one Of
our wealthiest citizens, but it being too
tight across the back he returned il, after
wearing i but once" The customer feels
the pocket-book, pays the price asked for
the coat, and hastens away, being :" in a
hurry 70 catch the train" He probably
catches the train, as be never comes back
with the stuffed pocket-book.
