THE Cincinnati papers have been
counting up the profits Of entertaining
the democratic party In convention Is
sembled. They estimate that the dele
gates. shouters, correspondents and
other strangers paid something over n
hundred thousand dollars TO the hotels
for board and lodging and about rs
much more for extras, " OF which they
required n great many, while the re-
ceipts Of the saloon keepers ara sup
posed to have far exceeded even this
sum. A trustworthy statistician re-
ports that 10000 kegs Of beer were sold
In Cincinnati during the week OF the
convention. This indicates n consump-
tion OF $780, 900 glasses-a fair allow
ance even for n democratic convention.
Altogether, Cincinnati believes herself
10 have made a clean half million out OF
the democratic party, and her only re-
gret Is that the democrats did not pro-
long their convention a the republicans
did, and give the saloon keepers n fair
chance. II Is not considered right that
n vulgar town like Chicago should have
the advantage OF the Athens OF the
West.

confidence men to the tune of S225 A sharper,
representing himself to be son of Josiah Little,
banker, Of Amboy, offered him chrome which
he had just drawn in a lottery scheme, if he
would accept it, After reaching the room of his
pal he drew again and won, but the partner re-
qulred him as pledge Of good faith % to put
up $3.50 and thus become member of the asso.
citation. OF course Mr.. Little (?) did not have
but twenty-five dollars of the money required,
and requested his farmer friend to loan him $225,
This he did, and left his friend, Little" promis-
ing to send it the next day or as soon as he
reached Amboy, and in a confidential manner re-
quested that he should not be exposed. Mr.. b.
thought over the matter and began to become
suspicious that all was not right and began
looking for his man, having warrant Issued,
&c. But the birds had flown to other fields to
reap some other foolish individuals hard earned
