Brougham, "was the author Of many
stupid, slavish, and scurr;lous political
pamphlets, and, by his demerts raised
to the eminence which lie thus dis

Ing called to the Bar, on some state
meut made by Judge Robinson (befJro
whom he was pleadiug), observed that

down by his Lordship, In any book in
his library "Hhat may be, sir, said
the Judge but suspect that your IL

Curran; "my lord, upon that point

companion. Such a one presented
himself in the person Of Ed. Nesbit, a
gentleman peculiar "for ways that are
dark" but who, in a vest and coat Of
clerical cut, is Il man Of singularlY
meek and sanity presence, ln such a
guise he came Tuesday, and to Mr.
Ruggles he impaired, with show Of
consequence that be was leather
merchant who had cargo Of hides on
board. The young man from Tioga
was delighted to make so reputable an
acquaintance, and when the latter
showed him pockctbook filed with
gold coin his opinion Of the stranger
became still higher After absenting
hipself for a while to look after his
merchandise the clerical looking stran-
ger reappeared, and said hurriedly
that he was at loss for change to pay
some freight charges, and taking out a
one hundred dollar bill he laid it. on
Qrrih's lap and said;
"Will you loan me $40 for an hour
or two ill we can change the bill !?
Keep it till then"
Mr.. Ruggles was only too happy 10
be in position to obligo his new ac-
quaintance, and he at once counted
out the required sum. The stranger
took it, smiled his gratitude, rose to 90,
and then, as if an idea struck him, be
said
"Ah, perhaps I could get some
change for the bill below. Let me
have tiff you can and take this" at
the same time producing the plethoric
pocket-book in which was the gold
coin. "lake il, my dear sir" he adj
ded, seeing that Mr.. Ruggles hositated.
"It is mere form, Of course, but iu-
dieious, very judicions among business
men. One cannot tell nowadays with
whom one is dealing. Take ii, sir, I'LL
l return"
The stranger, smiling still more
suayely, bowed himself away, and the
Tioga youth placed tho pocketbook in
his coat, thinking ell the tine how
precise and formal these business men
were in their dealings. There had
been a witness, however, to the colo.
guy 10 the person Of q small but posted
darkey, who expressed his contempt Of
the whole proceeding by halloing out :;
Hay, Boss Reckon you're sold.
That ar ole cuss'll dust away with the
sugar. You're robbed, boss, shuah."
"At this, Orrin L. Ruggles, of TIC.
ga, rose to his feet, and, IN his surprise
and CONSERVATION, hoarsely articula-
ted
"Sonny, / kin run some."
And he could. Before the stranger
had left the pier Orrin had oyerhaulod
him, and with his hand fiercely clutch
ing the coat of clerical cut he demand
ed his money. His acquaintance of
the upper deck looked up in surprise.
"W hat - said he, "did you think |
was stealing it, sir? If you did, sir,
here it is. Now give me mine"
At this moment Sergeant Gastlin
appeared and arrested Orrin's friend,
who WAS no other than Edward Nes-
bit, alias Adams, well-known conf
dence operator.
It is needless to add that the pletho.
ric pocietbook contained n lot Of bogus
coin.
