81 A sturdy Norwegian comes'up, in the
van OF half . dozen like him, lays down
three ten-kron notes, gets his change,
and walks off followed by the others.
A wretched pair, . thin, lsickly-looking
girl and lean old woman, both very
shabbily dressed, come forward and the
girl extracts from . leathern purse tied
up in the corner of q handkerchief a
solitary sovereign, evidently their last
remaining coin. When they receive the
change the girls hands are trembling
30 that she can hardly pick up the
pieces. aud the old woman is shaking
80 with nervousness, as she takes them
from her, that one penny drops upon
tAe door. to he promptly rescued and
restored by q taN.I good looking young
German, whose bashful blush as he
hands it to the girl is reflected by q
faint color upon her hollow cheeks.
The sturdy Norwegian and his follow
ers, having doubtless satisfied them
selves that the former exchange was
honest, come back, range themselves
before the counter, and each man, after
some violent tugging at the mysterious
Businesses of his inner raiment. brings
to light fat wallet containing Gothe-
burg bank notes of various denomina-
aons. In ten minutes they have made
exchanges amounting in the gross to
nearly %. 600.
An dependent, jolly looking young
Irishman lays, down shilling, gets his
change for it with the same formal memo
randum THAI he would have got, except
for the amount specified, if the transac-
tiop had been for Thousand pounds,
and is going away when the reporter,
with sudden curiosity, asks him: "Is
that your cash capital for the new
iworld?''
"'Aith it is sor; but glory be to God
it's enough to get drink, an I'll find
me cousin tonight, an have work the
morrow"
A very unhappy-lookiDg young
woman, plump and rather pretty, who
is tormented by the idea that she is
certainly lost and that nobody is going
to tell her how to get to st. Louis,
endeavors to extract that Information
from the money changer. But he only
tells her to keep quiet and wait, and
that at the proper time somebody will
hunt her up, wherever she is in the
Garden, and start her right along on the
proper route. She does not dispute the
promise. but stations herself little
way off and looks at him. haf rcproach-
fully and half rs il she meant to hold
him responsible for her correct trans
shipment.
A poor Irish woman lays upon the
counter q small silver coin, saying: 1T
was long a keepsake, but it's the
last I've got, and it must go now"
The broker gives herits value as coin,
aud showing it to the reporter, re-
marks: Maybe it is worth more to a
numismatist. ibut to me it is only ten
pence. A George III. bank token, ten
pence, issued for Irish circulation. think

not so very old: but I've been here
fifteen years. and never saw one like il
before. Certainly. you are welcome to
it at the price bought it for, twenty
cents. Idon't know why it is. but we
very seldom get hold of any rare
CONS here"
"M-a-a-a agile R-e-e-e-i-i-i-lly"
shouts q weary-looking man, drawing
out the name as ifit was . long SEN
tence, and SO repeating it three times.
"O-o-o-l-a-a-a A-a-a-nder-s-o-o mp
is his next Alexandrine yell. Five
o'clock is Mt hand, and ''the man that
hunts 'cm up" for shipment is abroad.
