How fhe scalners Live.

Z There is class of dealers in railroad
tickets at the West who live by selling
tickets at low rates A scalper thus ex-
plains the modus operandi:
"Tor instance, person in New York
coming to Cincinnati will tuy ticket to
St. Louis, ,Chicago,or some point further
west, and when he gets here, not wish
ing to go any further,he brings his tick
ct to us, for which we pay him fair
price, and he thus gets his ride from
New York at saving perhaps of 25
per cent. To make this more plain, let
me illustrate: suppose you were iii Chi
cago, and wanted to come to Cincinna-
ii. A few weeks ago, before the pres
ent 'cut' between the railroads, the reg
ular fare from Chicago to Boston was
S24. Well, you would buy ticket in
Chicago to Boston for S24, and ride on
it to Cincinnati; not wishing to go any
further, you bring the balance of your
ticket to me, for which l pay you SIS.
Thus you get your ride from Chicago
for Sc, the regular fare being S19. In
comes Mr.. B. and wants to 60 to New
York ! produce the Boston ticket
which l bought of you and sell it for
S21 to Mr.. B., who rides on it to New
York, and there sells the Boston coupon
for s5. Thus Mr. B. gets to New York
for SIG, the regular fare being $40
The purchaser of the Boston coupon
makes 81, and the railroad Company
have received their full rate. The courts
have decided that railroad ticket rep
resents an agreement between the hol-
der and purchaser and the railroad COM
pany selling the ticket. Thus, ticket
regularly issued is good for one ride be-
tween the points named on it, no mat
ter whose hands it is in, nor when it
was used. We do not claim to be able
to furnish tickets to al points at all
times, but most generally we have tick
cts to the principal points at discount
of 10 to 80 per cent

One Hundred and Sixteenth United
States Colored Infantry happened to be
taking tea with Clay Davies at his resi-
dence in Rio Grand City, Texas. Mr..
D. had been foreman Of a petit jury

named Ross was indicted for keeping a
gambling-house. He was known as the
most notorious liar in Texas. If con-

PERFIDY.

TALK oF FlkTUOUS EFFORT AND HUMAl
.. PERFIDY.
(F'om Harper's Weekly.)
It's all very we'll for preachin'
But preachin' and practice don't gee;
I'm posted on virtue and temperance,
| And you can't ring it on me.
Jest toddle along with your pledge, Squire,
Ef that's what you want me to sign;
Betwixt you and me, I've been thar,
And I'll not take any in mine
A year ago last Fo'th July,
A lot O. the boys was here;
We all got corned and signed the pledge
Fur to drink no more that year.
There was Tilman Joy and Sheriff Mcfhail,
And me and Abner Fry,
And Shelby's boy Leviticus,
And the Golyers-Luke and Cy.
And we anteed upa hundred.
In the hands o Deacon Hedge,
Fur to be divided the follerin' Fo'th
'Mongst the boys that kept the pledge.
And we knowd each other so we'll, Squire,
You may take my scalp for a fool
IF every man when no signed his name
Didn't feel dead sure of the pool.
Fur awhile it all went lovely,
We put up a job next day
Fur to make Joy b1ieve his wife was dead,
And he went home middlin' gay.
Then Abner he killed man,
And afore he was hung, McPhail
Jest bilked the widder outen her sheer
By gittin' him slowed in Jail.
But Christmas scooped the Sheriff
The egg-noggs gethered him in
And Shelby's boy Leviticus
Was New Years tight as sin
And along in March the Golyers
Got so drunk that fresh billed owl
Would a looked, 1ongside o them two youn
Like q sober temperance fowl.
Four months alone walked the chalk;
! Thought my heart would break,
And all them boys a-slappin' my back,
| And akin, "What'll you take?"
never slept without dreamin' dreams
Of Burbin, Peach, or Rye,
But chawed at my nigger-head and swore
I'd rake that pool or die.
| A. he Tosk6 al x,,reo1f
Through chores and breakfast soon,
Then scooted down to Taggart's store,
For the pledge was off at noon:
And all the boys was gathered thar,
And each man hilt his glass,
Watchin' me and the clock, quite solsmn-like
Fur to see the last minute pass.
The clock struck twelve! raised the jug
And took one lovin pull
was holler clar from skull to boots,
1t seemed couldn't git full.
But was reused by a fendish laugh
That might have raised the dead
Them ornary sneaks had sot the clock
A half an hour ahead
Gall right" squawked, you've got me;
Jest order your drinks agin,
And we'll paddle up te the Deacon's
And scoop the ante in"
But when we got to Hedges,
What sight was that we saw!
The Deacon and Parson Skeeters
In the tail OF game of Draw.
They had shook 'em the heft Of the mornin',
The Parsons luck was far,
And he raked, the minute we got thar,
The last OF our pool on par.
So no more temperance fer me- Squire;
low it's all very fine,
But ez fur myself, thank ye,
I'll not take any in mine.

Tribune observes:
"The idiotic conceit that the insurance
companies had better Withdraw from
Chicago rather than that the public shall
comply with the demands made by
them respecting the enforcement Of
additional precautions against fire
was strikingly exempliaed on las:
Monday. A merchant Of this city re-.
ceived 100000 worth Of pork on Tues
day, and vainly sought Tor insurance
thereon. After canvassing the Chicago
agencies Of all the responsible insurance
companies, the headquarters Of companies
in other cities were consulted by tele-
graph, and up to late hour at night only
$1,000 OF the insurance was taken. AS a
matter OF necessity the property was i'm
mediatcly shipped to another city.
