THE OLE GAME,
As Practlced ON the GFeenhOrn
Tribe.

An old grayback from Texas was
caught last night at the Charleston
railway depot for ninety-fve dollars
neat and slick. When he found out
that he had been taken in he was hot,
so one of the spectators reported
others said he was as mad as a hornet,
and still others, as a wet hen.
The simple minded man had taken
a seat in the passenger coach, in COM
pany with his wife, and the train was
detained an hour, awaiting a belated
train due from Little Rock. This
was between ten and eleven o'clock
last night, and at the Charleston rail-
way depot.
Alter a bit a stranger entered and
took a seat next behind the old man
and his wife. He soon struck up a
conversation, made himself agreeable,
knew ever so much about Texas,
where the old fellow had been, in
quired if he wasn't destined to Cor
inth, found he was, and had a legion
of friends out there. They all hap
pened to be the very ones tho old man
was most familiar with.
Halt an hour passed in pleasant
converse, when the old mar ascor-
tanned that his new friend had a lot of
fresh store goods on the train, and it
being late and no ready money at
hand, nothing but a bundle Of drafts
wouldn't the old man advance him
ninety. five dollars until next day, and
take an uneashed draft on Sherman,
Texas, as security Certainly" said
greeny, and he handed over the
amount.
1t wasn't but a moment before the
slick customer had disappeared. The
old man looked about and made in
quiries for his quondam friend, but he
wasn't in sight anywhere. Then the
old fellow found out that the draft he
held was bogus, then he grew furious,
and raved and stormed at a lively rate.
The confidence man had about sized
his pile, but he had luckily purchased
a ticket for himself and the old
woman. He couldn't be induced to
stay over to hunt up Mr.. Confidence.

A Lecture from a Juror.
This morning when Colonel CAN'T
closed his argument in the suit Of
Smith VS.. Gavin ct ais, for damages,
one of the jurymen arose and begged
the court to allow him to protest
against the manner Of the gentleman's
speech. 1t contained innuendoes not
suited for the hearing Of several
gentlemen on the jury who would not
listen to them on the street, but as
members Of the jury were compelled
to hear them. 1t is unnecessary to
say this juror once owned a soap facto-
ry, hence his cleanliness of mind.
