A Sharp Female.

A shrewd dodge was played upon a
grocery keeper at the corner Of Richmond
and Freeman streets, last Saturday even
ing. A woman entered the store with a
small stone.jar in her arm, the bottom of
which was concealed by a shawl. She
asked for a pound of coffee. Tie grocer
weighed it out and was about to put it in a
paper-bag, when the woman said, Never
mind wasting bag, put the coffee in this
iar." She learned over the counter with
the jar. still under her arm and the
grocer dumped the coffee into the vessel.
Then she walked to the end of the coun-
ter and set the jar down, saying: "PIl leave
this here fora moment; 1 want to go next
door" She went, and was gone a few
moments when the grocer had occasion to
move the jar off the counter. Imagine his
surprise when he discovered that the piece
of stone-ware had no bottom in il, and that
when he had emptied the coffee from the
scoop 1t had gone to o sack concealed about
the womar's clothes. The shrewd female
has not yet shown up.

Little Money Needed.

The business men OF Chicago have pro-
missed TO pay all the expenses OF the kepuD'
lican National Convention which is 10 be
held in that city on the 81 Of June. The
businessmen OF Cincinnati have agreed 10
do as much for the Democratic National
Convention which is to meet in that city on
the 22d OF June. The promise was made as
an inducement to the committees that had
the selection Of the places for the assembling
OF those conventions We allude, OF course,
only to the expenses OF holding the conven-
tons, not to the expenses OF the delegates
themselves.
Next week O Convention OF six or seven
hundred or more delegates Will meet in this
city. The Executive Committee OF the Con-
sentative party need few hundred dollars
TO defray the cost Of renting the Theatre,
preparing it for the Convention, &C., &c
They ask our businessmen to give them
this small sum. If they fail to get it here,
they will be compelled to levy contribution
upon our friends from the country; which
would seem to be rather inhospitable treat
ment. Our country friends cannot come to
Richmond without leaving good deal OF
money here. "Their sisters, and their cou-
sins, and their aunts," will send by them
for many articles OF merchandise. Our ho-
too, will profit by the assembling
of the Convention. Be ready, therefore,
when called upon to contribute to this
mertorious object. Three hundred dollars
ought TO be EASILY raised in Richmond Tor
such purpose.

A Chance.

III the GRANT men will agree to nominate
negro for Vice-PreSident, every negro
delegate to Chicago from the entire South
will vote for the Generals nomination. But
unfortunately for General GRANT, who has
all, or nearly all, these delegates pledged to
him, Mr.. BLAINE has the same chance. He
can get every negro vote on the same condi-
tons.
As the negroes constitute the balance OF
power in several northern States. and almost
the whole OF the Republican party in every
southern State, they have right to demand
that man OF their race shall be nominated
for Vice-President.
What say Messrs. CONKLING, LOGAN, and
CAMERON VIII they save General GRANT
by resorting to strategy?
