Every once in a while some obscure
and wretched town in New England
or the West, puts forth it's pnDy claim
for the champion mean man. The
standard used to be taking the
pennies from dead mans eyes. but
! We double discount that in Brooklyn,
give them fifty points beside, and
then beat them; 80 l am happy to
state that, beyond all question,
Brooklyn still holds the belt. This
time it'sa Dutchman, but he has been
naturalized, so We take the credit Of
it just the same as il he were = native
born American. A young seamstress
Of Brooklyn, by years of industry and
thrift, had succeeded In saving a
fortune amounting to two hundred
dollars, which was tucked away
safely in the savings bank, and was
drawing the snug revenue of ten
dollars a year. Mark you, when a
young lady is known to be wealthy,
all the fellows 60 for her, and regret
to add, this Brooklyn milliner was no
exception to the rule. Two weeks
ago, in company with some friends,
she attended = ball at Teutonic Hall,
at a half q dollar head and refresh
ments thrown in, now . half dollar
a head for a first class ball and pro-
visions, could not be considered dear
in any country, and it was there that
Miss Kause met her destiny-he had
nice white goatee, two large melting
blue eyes, green vest, and pink
neck tie, and then how he waltzed,
and he waltzed with no other girl but
Miss Kause, he told her that he was
looking for wife, and as soon as he
found her, be would get married he
treated her to sweitzer kase unit lager,
and wound up with Limburger and
pretzels !; what girl could withstand it,
there are very few, aud Miss Kause
was not one of the girls. As soon as
be was married, he intended to set up
a cigar store, that is, after he had
saved two hundred dollars to do it,
and then as money rolled in upon
him, he would buy houses and lands,
perhaps he might have lager beer
saloon Of his own, and then-and
then "llis liddle wife should wear
gamels hair shawls, unit dimint rings,
und zilk tresses NIT all sorts Of poody
dings." Miss Kause was delighted,
love and lager beer, romance and
Limburger, what could the heart of
woman wish for more, aud she i'm
parted to the faithless gentleman, the
fact of her store of guilders in the
bank, and as he was quite ready to
marry her, she drew it out and gave
it to her lover to buy the little cigar
store wlliel. was to be their future
home. The rest of the story is soon
told that night the miserable wretch
skedaddled off West, With a pocket
full of money and new suit of clothes,
to deceive some other unsuspecting
frauliDe, or perhaps to enjoy his cigar
store in the arms of another, but the
Gods are just, and let Us hope that
vagabond will get his deserts. Let
US hope that he will set fire, to his shop
to get the insurance, aud that he will
be detected in the act, aud sent to
the States prison for a hundred and
ninty-nine years; meanwhile Miss
Kause mourns like Rachel, for her
lost guilders, aud refuses to be COM
forted because they are not"
