NEATLY DRESSED YOUNG MAN AND HIS piAso-
IsM-ooNsTRRNArIoN AMoSa THE TREASURY
GIRLS.
Yesterday afternoon small party of ladies
and gentlemen visited the Treasury Depart
ment for the purpose of seeing the sights and
wonders there, and Satan came also" This
time he was distinguished as a neatly dressed
Young man. His air and manner were dignl-
lied, modest and somewhat retiring. He was
noticeable for his thick black hair, moustache
and imperial, aud piercing black eyes. which
seemed to look into and comprehend all things
around him. With that peculiar and graceful
style which the Prince of Darkness has when
in the presence of women and those having
authority, he was Immediately in the good
graces of all with whom he came IN contact.
He stopped moment before clerk VINO was
handling stamped bills. by some quick ana
potent influence the stamped were changed III
the .'twinkling of an eye" into unstamped ones .
The bewildered clerk looked first from one to
another, and then, as if he would implore the
mercy of heaven in proof that he WAS honest /;
but while he prayed, 10 the bills were stamped
again and he was happy. The devil then gllded
noiselessly up to beautiful young lady, all the
ladies' in the Treasury are beautiful, ana as she
looked mp consciously innocent that her roll
would he all right. he drew large roll of bills
from the folds of hor dress. Her cheeks were
blanched with fear, and she trembled like an as
pen leaf. Her expression seemed 10 say, Threat

III astonis hment. and the officials were thunder
struck. The devil .'smole ghastly smile" and
taking the roll OF bills. placed them where they
| belonged, and the young lady came to herself,
saying, "Zamiel, is this the record OF the dying
| wear, and is my soul free?"
| The devil continued his inspection tour and
in another department he found a pile of old
bills which had never been missed causing the
gravest apprehension and astonshment, and
| while explaining how it WAS to the chief clerk
| the devil abstracted his watch from his breast
pocket In the long gray boards qf the mosl
honest men the world ever saw number Of
gold coius were found secreted, and in the pock
cts of others packages OF bills ready for delivery
were found The situation was becoming embar
rassing when one cool head, wiser than the rest

was of the party, and so it proved Washtagto,
