THE vERACITY OF SOME REPORTERS

A few days ago the Virginia Chronicle It
lated a tale of how Mr. H. J. Sargent, tn
manager of the New Orleans Minstrels, wa
arrested on suspicion of being cigar drumme
without license The fact of the story
this, Mr.. Sargent sports some very fine, sur
enough jewelry, and Sam Davis of tn
Chronicle and Loomis of the Enterprise, hank
cred after the aforesaid jewels, and they pu
their depraved heads together to contriv
some scheme whereby they might become
possessed of the coveted valuables So abou
dusk one evening they procured couple O
tin stars, and Disgusting themselves, assumed
the roll of policemen and being, familiar with
Mr. Sargent's time for leaving the hotel where
ne stopped, they pounced upon the gentleman
as he stepped out of the door, and told him
they had warrant for his arrest, on charge
of soliciting orders for goods without license.
Mr. Sargent expostulated withsthe self con-
stituted policemen and told them who he was,
but that availed him nothing. They took
him to an out of the way place, and after they
were out of ear shot of every living being,
they requested him to fork over his pretty
things but fortunately Mr.. Sargent left them
at home. Having satisfied themselves of that
fact, the two men left Mr., Sargent and scam
pered off to their respective offices, cursing
their luck. It was fortunate thing for both
the Chronicle and Enterprise, that Mr.. Sar-
gent was so prudent, or those papers might
h,xy h. g. &c
lent aids. That's the story. Now, Sam, go
and buy Ratchet.
BRooD1NG. Two brass bands in town yes
terday. One belonging to the Washin gton
Guard, playing John P. Meder's "Don't
make Noise" composition; the other of the
New Orleans Minstrels, footing "The Bran
nigan Guards" Both of the bands played
well, and had great tendency to soothe tle
savage feeling which arises in the breast of
every mercurial mortal during such heather
ish weather as We are having now. What
celestial bouyancy good music is productive
of-and what feeling of plutonic meanness
such weather as this will give birth to in the
breast of the gentlest nature.
STOCKS. market is in keeping with |
the weather. There is a depression all around |
No new developments in the mines have of |
late been madepublic, and the consequence is
that the prices are gradually falling back to
The figures of previous months The excita-
oility of small purchasers has died out: idle
md unfounded rumors about strikes, which
ire not made, do not set the people wild as in
he days of yore. There is no use trying to
make the people believe that market can be
reated without maritorious developments.
t can't be done.
FROM GENoA.-Mr. John H. Davis, Post
master at Genoa, is still very low He is in
ull possession of his mental faculties, but has
ost the use of his speech. His right side
) completely paralyzed. 1t is a most difficult
natter to understand his wants. Mr.. Davis
} lying in very precarious state, but his
MEDICAL attendants do not believe that all the
emedies for his recovery have been exhaust,
Powers EXCHANGE. Mr. E. J. Powers,
no is one of the most deservedly popular
'loon keepers in this State, has just reopened
'inston's Exchange. The many visitors there
st evening show that it has not lost any of
s popularity, 1t is first class house and
eserves its liberal patronage Fred Rath-
'ne has his headquarters there, behind the
'unter, as before the cl ,sing.
A report is in circulation that Tip Orndorff,
ell known in Virginia and here, was one of
e robbers who got away, for a time, with so
UGH plumber from Union Pacific Railroad
ain, few weeks ago, and that he was shot {
ID killed by detectives. This rumor is dis
edited by those who are well acquainted
tn Orndorf. He was professional sport,
it generally recognized as an honorable man. Il
Old hoary winter has been threatening to
oop down upon US with all his might and G
rec for the past forty eight hours, but the
d Man seems a little timid: he i, afraid
at too earl advent of his frosty majesty
uld not be welcomed in a suitable and
ristianlike manner. Come on, and don't
scared.
