SMITH!-The BdUiaorcdl, giving an ac-
count of an auction sale of fine furniture
which took place in our neighbor city a few
days ago says:
Quite an amusing little episode occurred
during The sale. Among the heaviest pur-
chaSers was gentleman named ..Smith -
AS piece after piece of splendid furniture was
cried out at seemingly fabulous prices to
"Smlth," buzz ran through the crowd and
several ladies remarked in rather audible
whispers, that they did not believe such sales
were bona rde for the reason that Smith was
no name at all, even though hOnored with
the prefix of John. IL had been annOuncei
by the auctioneers that there would be no
"Dy-bidding," and so frequent were the inti-
nations about Smith, that the auctiOneer.
AT tnat gentlemanS request, permitted him
10 make an explanation. He proved To he a
tail me looking gentleman of SIS or 49, with a
pleasant countenanee and any amount of
self-pOssession. he stated i'm tones sufficient-
~ loud To be heard in every portion of the
SPACIOUS wareroom, that his name was f. p
smith; and that Washington, ID. c., was his
place OF residence. He was furnishing a
handsome dwelling in the nations caDifal
and ne had The means to crafty his wishes
In this regard. He said ne was mail con-
tractor; was worth $3.50 600, and all of $50 900
of this amount was now TO his credit in the
Third National Bank of Baltimore After
THIS explanation, there were many magnifi-
cent pieces of furniture cried out to Smith
and at prices which fairly made the hair
stand on end, but there were no more inti-
nations nor whispers that there was no such
purchaser as Smith!
