A REFoRrER's CLEVER RUsE.

A; the opening Of the electioneering
campaign that resulted in Abraham
Lincolns elevation to the presidency Of
the United States, the Hon. W. L. Yam
cey. then on his way to the Baltimore
Convention. accepted an invitation to
address the electors at an agricultural
fair in small town. The Baltimore
newspapers determined TO furnish their
readers with verbatim reports OF Mr..
Ysncey's speech. and five reporters left
that city by the morning train fer =
junction station. where they hoped to
catch another train bound for the fair
ground. AZ they travelled along they
entered into an agreement not TO take
any unfair advantage Of one another,
no matter what opportunity tor doing
so might present itself. They arrived
st the junction too late for the connec-
,ion train, and were in difficulty Is TO
getting over the intervening hslf-dozen
miles Of country. They went prospect
ing, four thin scribes hurryiug in ad-
vance Of Q veritable FAls,Af. At last
they discovered an old fashioned wagon
drawn by . lean horse. and in . few
minutes the treacherous four were en-
scoused in the vehicle, filling it com
pletely. In vain did the man Of fat
remind them of their agreement. bis
expostulatious were received With de-
rision, and the driver ordered 70 start.

Sir John M'Neill. . shrewd Scotch
diplomsti,t. gained the repute Of being
the only European who ever got the
better of q dervish. During the New
Year festival, tho Persian religious
mendicants ply their vocat,ons most
vigorously, not merely asking for alms.
but demanding such sums IS they deem
proper. according to the rank Of the
giver. A derv,sh tried to extract an
extravagant tribute from Sir John. and
the Embassador proving obstinate. pro.
cceded to sit upon him. that is to say,
he established himself in Sir Johns
garden. inst before his study windows
aud relieved his feelings by making q
hideous hullabsloo day and night. The
diplomatist was inclined to make short
work Of the nuisance. but was warned
that violent measures would be dan
gerons.
Get rid Of him if you can. said bis
Persian advisers; but do not touch him.
Sir John sent for . bricklayer and
gave the order: Build . wall around
that bowling beggsr in my garden aud
then roof 1t in.'
The dervish looked on composedly
while the wall slowly rose round him,
and made more noise than before; bu.
when the roofing process WAS commeu-
ced, and he invoke to the knowledge
that il WAS really intended to entomb
him alive. he clambered over the wall
aud rushed away like q madmsn never
to trouble NJ Neill again.

An Illinois Sheriff was noted for act
tivity in looking up unlicenced peddlers
Taking his walk abroad one day, he
came across an old fellow whom he at
once concluded WAS an Illegal trader,
aud inquired if be hsd got anything TO

'Hev got anything to sell, squires'
was the response. Guess hev got

The Sheriff bought bottle OF Balm
Of Columbia. and then desired to SEE

document was produced, examined,
pronouncei genuine, and handed back
TO its owner.
Then said the dis.pI ointed official:
Il don't know now that l care about
this stuff. What will you give for il 2
'Waal, answered the peddler. i don't
want it. squire; but, seein' it's you, I'll
give you thirty seven cents for it.
The sheriff passed him the bottle and
pocketed the morey. wEeu the pedil-r
said:

But said he, I'm glad to see you
