He WAS HUNGRY.

1t was six-footer, lean and lank, from
the neighboring county of Chester, who
yesterday walked into an eating saloon on
Market street, took his position at one OF
the marble tables, summoned a waiter and
said: II want something to eat" The
waiter walked away and soon returned with
nice Beefsteak, which he sat before this
rural epicure, who speedily devoured land
ordered second, ere he had masticated the
last mouthful. It was brought and soon
met the tate of its predecessor.
A third steak was ordered, and
as quickly dispatched. The fourth was
called for with the remark, "Bring on 'em
bits of meat till I tell you to STOP" The
"bits of meat" were brought until fourteen
ofthem had met their final dissolution. Then
the waiter ceased his work, leaned against
the wall, dropped his arms down by his
side, and with anxiety painfully depicted on
every feature of his face, watched the last
mouthful disappear from the countryman's s
plate. He then ventured to say, '"Dere aint
no mo- beef cooked" The man eyed him
only an instant and calmly wiping his
mouth, remarked "You can bring me a
mutton chop while its cookin'." And the
darkey laying his finger significantly on his
nose, said "Good Lord, boss, you must hab
been taking mighty good tonic, what a
patieEt boarding house missus you must
hab.'

Wilmington and the Shee Trade.
Since the manufacture of shoes was intro
duced among the introdustries Of Whining
ton It has developed itself gradually in i'm
portance until it has become
one of our leading business interests,
of course, after excepting the manufacture
of morocco. 1t is admirably situated for
this kind of Manufacture; accessible to Bal
timore by rail, one of the finest sole leather
markets In the country, surround ed by a
fine agricultural country, and both water
and rail facilities for shipping. letter re-
ceived in this city yesterday from prominent
shoe manufacturer Of Connecticut furnish
es the following, an extract, which we take
from it: ut was my first visit to Whining
ton, and knowing the amount of morocco
manufactured there and its nsarness to .
sole leather market, together with
its advantages for shipping goods
and the fine agricultural surroundings, It
struck me forcibly as being an excellent
point for shoe manufacturing. I believe 1t
offers advantages for making it large shoe
manufacturing centre, If your citizens de-
sire to make it so. It would be quite to
the interest of all owners of real estate and
decidedly to the advantage of all your mo-
rocco manufacturers to have it become so.
And 1t might be for the interest OF your
citizens to offer more inducements to one or
two first-class manufacturers to locate with
you. One or two good men wonld soon lead
to more and each one would help your city
in many ways. l haye been located here
since 1857, and have built up fine trade
Itwould cost considerable to pull up and &c
elsewhere and should look carefully and
consider well before doing so, but at the
same time was go well pleased with your
place that I did feel strong desire to
change base and come among you.

An Irish Witness.

The late James L. Brady used to say
that they were like chestnut burr, full
of sharp points and dangerous to handle.
He used to relate an amusing scene that
occurred in court where Gerard was for
the plaintiff and he for the defendant.
After the former counsel had finished
the direct examination Of an Irish wit
ness by the name of Carthey, he handed
him over to Brady for crosse xamination,
and as he had given very damaging testi-
mony against his client, it was considered
important to break down his testimony,
SO Brady addressed him abruptly by say
ing: "Well, 'O'Carthey,' where were
you born, and how came you to be born
there ?" Mr.. O'Brady," replied Car
they, with great nonchalance and I'M
concern, 81 have left the o. off from
my name" $50 have l." quickly re-
piled Brady. The witness instantly re-
taliated with "What pity you had
not changed your manners instead of the
name." The laugh was very general in
the court, and participated in by the
Judge and jurors so much against Brady
that he lost the opportunity of reply.
After order was restored, Brady said
"that will do" meaning that it was a
good one. Ca.they was pleased to con-
strue the remark to meaning that the
counsel was done with him. So he
coolly stepped from the witness stand,
and retired, amid loud and boisterous
laugh and general applause. Brady said
that he was done with the witness, and
refused to call him back.
