TwENTY-DoLLAR GREENBACKs AS
CIGAR LIGHTERs.-Mrs. Emma Simms,
residing at No. 1925 Fifth street, north
west, Washington City, but stopping at
Baltimore, dropped packet Of notes
amounting to $3.50 from her pocket un
North Gay street near Dallas street, about
10 O'Clock yesterday morning. The mo-.
ney somewhat scattered about, was picked
up by Mr.. John Myers. He remembered
that it was the day of the grand process
sion, and looked upon the shower of green
backs as sham or some advertising delu=
sion; he resolved at Onee to make it a COM
plete give away. and handed around the
money to all vino desired it with an aban-
don beautiful to behold. Scenes that
we're ludicrous in the extreme ensued
though their ending was serious. The
idea of Mr.. Myers took readily. and five
cent cigars were coolly lighted with twen-
ty dollar notes, nearly all the money being
in notes Of that denomination. Street
gamina pasted a few around on awning
posts to DECEIVE unsuspeoting strangers.
A boy sold one twenty dollar note for
twenty-five cents, and it is said $500 addi-
tional were sold for the same amount. A
lady, residing not far away, got twenty
dollar note which she said she would keep
in memory of tue great celebration. A
friend begged her for it that she might
frame it and keep it, and the lady gave it
to her. Mrs. Simms meanwhile informed
Officer Gibson or her loss. He FASTENED TO
the spot and managed to recover $3.50 of
the amount, among it the twenty=dollar
note gotten by the lady mentioned above
The discovery of the facts caused conster=
nation among those who had SO freely
made away with what they believed to be
bogus treasure, and much regret was OK
pressed for the loss sustained by Mrs.
Simms. The case is decidedly one of the
most singular on record Baltimore Sun,
