Money to Lend.

He didn't look as if his pockets held fifty cents, but a rich man has a right to dress as he chooses. He loafed up Kearney street until he saw the right sort of a face and then he asked:
 "Can you show me bank?"
 "Yes, sir-three doors below, just across the street; or, right back there."
 "Thanks. I'd like to put lit tie money in some bank, but Pm d little afraid of banks. 1, always did prefer a note of hand to banks "
 The citizen pricked up his ears and asked:
 You have some money to lend, have you"
 "A trife. Do you know of any body who would like to take some and give me note for a year at seven per cent? I think of going to Mexico for a While."
 "Let's see2" unused the citizen; "I don't know but what I'd take some myself"
 "Yes-certainly-come on," re- piled the citizen, and the two went into the basement. Drinks were ordered by the citizen one after another, until his trade dolt lars felt lonely. He said he could make good use of @ few thousand dollars for year, and some of his friends might also take few thousand more. The stranger put down gin, whisky, lager and brandy until his legs gave out. The citizen had laid him on a bench and tried to sober him, but the fellow went dead asleep while they were trying to force vinegar down his throat. The barkeeper said he was an old lOafer, and a policeman was sent for to take him to the station. When they got him down there and searched him they found five cents, brass backed comb, and a door key in his pockets, and the citizen who wanted to borrow few thousand dollars, went softly around the corner to see if the mail had come.

YUMA A. T. SATURDAY, APRIL 2s s76
Washingtonian.

The following paragraphs epi- tOmize the views of the ROches- ter Democrat on George Wash ingtOn
 This is Birthington's Washday. He was never caught in lie. Washington always slept at the hind side Ofthe bed so that things might be convenient for Martha when she got up to let the hired girl in.
 When her husband told Martha Washington to go the back. door and whistle the dog to break fast she did it without murmur, and see how her memory has lasted.
 When it was necessary to take the girls home after singing school the father of his country always picked out the oldest, homeliest. and most friendless, and straight way fell to praising her cork-screw curlS.
 It was a peculiarity of young Washington to be absent at the grocery discussing politics when ever it became necessary to go after the COWS. Genius must not be cramped, and the COWS always got home in some way.
 He never stole chesnuts, and all the people within circuit of ten miles of his house left tn cir smoke houses unlocked at night with the utmost impunity. True, he preferred his pork in another shape, but is that a criterion to go by?
 The ulster overcoat was origin. ated at Valley Forge. It consist ed of a bed blanket, with holes to put the arms through, and d mules halter for q belt Wash ington's was d manly form and he never looked inspiring as when he wore this simple garment.
 Nine yards of calico made the the mother of Washington a dress and when the neighbors mention ed silks and satins, she waved them away and said the times were hard and the country could n't stand it. Her husband never went through bankruptcy.
 The Declaration of Independ- ence Was born in Mary Washing. tons house shortly after the em- bryo father of his country got his first and last spanking. The dis tinguished babe was never whip. but once and then he didn't have 1 a fair chance.
 An Indian once shot at MT. | Washington with bow and ar- row. It was thought to be a very boWan'-arr escape but the truth is there were no rifle teams 1 in those days, rowing associations were scarce, and there is nothing like powder to shoot with. Be sides, we think MT. Washington l lodged.
