D., of Washington, d. c., certified as follows:

to have matched. Now, If there
is any thing in the dry-goods business
more narrowing than another, it is to
match goods. The exact shade and text
ure has to be found, and last but not
least, the price must correspond. A
feeling of sickening despair permeated
the heaving breast of the unfortunate
clerk as he asked, sWell, ma'amp"
She Laid down five yards and half of
calico OF an excentric pattern, and in
timated that the success of dressmaking
enterprise hinged on her torture in find
ing another yard and half of the same
material. The eyes of six expectant
clerks were upon the doomed man. He
felt that the crisis of his peril had come.
With an appearance of calmness that
belied the turmoil of his feelings, he
dived under the counter and handed out
endless rolls of calico, varying from the
radiant strawberry and moss-rose-
marked to the soberest gray. But he
came not within thirteen supplementary
colors of the required pattern. He bur-
rowed in the cayernous depths of lower
shelves, and ransacked upper ones from
the top round of giddy step-ladder,
but he found it not. An hour and .
half had gone by, and his stock was
nearly exhausted. The proprietor OF
the store and the bookkeeper and porter
had come to witness his death struggle.
Six times had the wearied lady started
for the door, and six times he called her
back and resumed his frenzied search.
The last calico was unrolled, and he
was about to drop his hat and
gracefully step down and out,
when happy thought struck him.
Z" Excuse me, madam, said he, "therc's
one piece 1 overlooked. Let me see that
goods" and he took her bundle, and,
diving under the counter, hacked off a
yard and half with the energy and
promptness of rekindled hope. "Here
tits, madam; exactly what you re-
quired," said he, confidently, spreading
out the purloined goods. She looked at
it attentively for FIVE minutes. I" 1t does
look like the pattern,'' said she, I" but
still l think it's not what want. It's a
good deal coarser than mine. If can't
get any thing nearer to the pattern I'll
come back and take it. Good morn
ing She did come back in an hour,
not not to buy the goods. He tried to
dodge behind the counter, but, with the
keen-sightedness of womanly revenge,
she spotted him, and he was ignomini-
ously hauled out and arraigned before
his employer. The worst Of it was that
the latter, in view of the improbable
energy shown in his attempt to effect a
sale, had concluded not to discharge
him. With the evidence of his guilt un-
mistakable, however, it would be fatal
to the discipline Of the house to keep
him, and he was promptly dismissed.
Until the old lady succeeds in getting
warrant for his arrest, his name is char
itably suppressed. London Truth.

UPoN Secretary Thompson, during
the recent naval review in Hampton
Roads, a small joke was literally played.
As he reached the side of the flags in
a steam launch the band, says the Bal
timore american, began to play the air
from "Pinafore'' which announces the
arrival of Sir Joseph Porter, X. G. B.
The Secretary observed that every body
smiled, but he is one of those rare persons
who have not seen Mr.. Sullivan's opera,
and wondered no doubt at this causeless
merriment. As he went on visiting each
ship of the fleet, each band repeated the
same air. As the Secretary was accom-
panied by large party Of ladies and
gentlemen who followed him wherever
he went, the picture was certainly not
unlike that on the deck of the Pima

Thought Of Dry-GoOds Clerk.

Onedof the fascinating young men in
an uptown dry-goods store is in trouble:
II is the custom in the establishment
from which he hiss just heen dismissed
to discharge man who fails to sell to
ono of three successive customers:
g Swapping - is the expressive technical
term by which this failure is known to
the dry-goods business. The rule is not
universal. but it is by no means excep-
tional in dry-goods stores. However
unjust Il NAV be, it has wonderfully
stimulating effect on the elegant young
men ilmenable to it, and when they can
not sen goods it IS safe inference that
the customer is either supernaturaiiy
obdurate, impecuniOus, or misery. Inc
Young man referred to had I" hrst can )
one Friday morning; that is. the hrst
customer who entered the store was, by
the rule of rotation, his exclusive victim:
Next morning this privilege would fall

mer - snapped 2 him, and then went
