LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

IHE EFFECT OF THE NORTH WIsD.-The
practical iokers of the First Ward are always
moved to some mischief when the north wind
blowa AS that zephyr has been reused to
fury for the past few days, the natural result
followed with the jolteIs, Just as certainly as
headache and cross grained sociability super
yenes under norther Influences. On this
occasion it made wellknown militia Lieu
tenant its victim, and the perpetrators were
a merchants clerk on K street, between Sec
ond. and Third, and smooth-faced saloon.
keeper on Second street between j and K
The Lieutenant received on Tuesday letter
from lady signing herself Angie" who
professed TO be enamered Of him and desired
to form his acquaintance with q view to
a closer, but chaste friendship, and modestly
admitting her boldness, begged him to pardon
it IN vi5w of ner desire to know better one
whom she had heard so much of. 1t was an
old trick, bpt the Lieutenant, who had faced
Captain Houghton's battery on the bloody
field OF Ismert's Grove, and had withstood
the wesryiug campaign Of 1880 at Alameda,
where the First Artillery Regiment overcame
ali obstacles was not to be frightened by a
challenge to meet ene woman on public
street. He responded to miss Angles" :"
missiye gallautiy, and said he would meet her
at Front and J streets last evening per ap-
pointment, if it was the last act Of his life"

tents Of your letter. | cannot re-
member anyone such as Ycu describe your
salt. do not know how to recognize you,
but call me by the name of .
!, Your letter shows you to be lady
of culture. l aln very
distant toward females, but in this case go
to nay fate. whatever it may be, /" and much
more of the same tenor. They met, they
pronlenaded, they were delighted with each
other; they swore an eternal friendship as
they walked up and down J street, and dined
at well known lunch house. And then.
just VIXEN all the practical jokers were near
at hand, the disclosure was made-the shaven
face OF the smooth-cheeked dealer in toddy
was shorn of its disguise, and as those in
the secret came to time to enjoy the joke,
such hilarity woke the echoes of the
sober, well-ordered and quiet First Ward
as brought sleepers from their beds
and caused the hero of bloodless battles
to gnaw file and curse too confiding dis
position, which is as natural to him as the air
he bresthes. OF course he alleged that he
knew it was a sell, and only played his part I;
but The jokers hold his letter bearing his sign
manual, with postscript calling attention TO
the fact that he reveis in the glory of han
die 30 his name, and despite al protestations
he was forced TO disburse for refreshments to
a tune that would make even the sack of a
star route contractor shrink.
