A BROKERS' MISTAKE.
A STORY TOLD OF THE FOUNDER OF THE
DREXEL BANKING HOUSE.

A Third street broker, in speaking on Sat
urday of the present well-known banking
firm of A J. Drexel & Co. and its humble
origin, told the following story of Francis
DreXel. the father of the two brothers who
are now joined in business:
Shortly after the close of the war with
Mexico many Spanish and Mexican silver
dollars found their way into the United
States, and were bought up by bankers and
money-deaers all over the country. The
price paid for them varied greatly, according
TO the demand and supply and the condition
OF the pieces themselves, those in perfect
preservation, of full weight and without
holes or other DETACHMENT, bringing more
than those not 50 well preserved. The per-
sons having these coins for sale carried them
about in all kinds of parcels using in their
transportation handkerchiefs paper packa-
ges, Old stockings, tin cans, kettles and box
eS of all sizes and descriptions.
At the close of a rainy day, during which
Mr.. DreXel-then doing very modest busi-
ness on Third street as money and exchange
broker-had been a large buyer of Mexican
silver, and while he was engaged in recount
ing his purchases preparatory to settling his
cash account, the door of his banking house
was suddenly opened by plainly dressed
man, who exclaimed 81 only have one hun
dred left, do you want them?''
Mr.. DTexel, without raising his head, re
piled 'I'll give you fifty cents for them %
No, SAID the man, Il Se sold all the 9TH
ers at seyenty-fiye cents and only have a
hundred left -,
Mr.. Drexel replied 81 have bought them
all day at sixty cents, and if yours have no
holes IN them l will take them at the same
price, and that is the most you can get for
them"
Il never saw any with holes in them" said
the man.
Didn't you?" said Mr. Drexel "Half
of what We get are full OF holes, where they
have been used as buttons
The man scratched his head a moment and
then said "Nery well; I'll bring them in
right away"
Five minutes afterward he appeared with
a small kettle and walking up to the counter
said Where shall put them ."
''Pour them out on the counter said Mr..
DTeXel, indicating a particular spot on the
same.
Il can't" said the seller, they will slip
off OH the floor -
Mr.. Drexel, without withdrawing his at
tentiDn from tie counting OF his purchases OF
the day, called to his son Frank to bring a
tray When the tray was brought il was
found to have large crack across it to
which the man streuuOusly objected, saying
"They viii ali tall through" This nettled
old Mr.. DreXeI who, in rather sharp words,
told him 'that tray has held thousands and
thousands of them every day." and further
more, IN peremptOry terms, bade him pour
them out, quick ~
Accordingly the kettle was raised to the
level of the counter and one hundred fat,
raw oysters were poured into the cracked
tray, much to the chigrin and disgust of the
banker aud hIs sOn-the. former of whom eX-
Gained ''Why those are oysters -
"Nen" said the oysterman (whO knew
nothing about Mexican Si,ver), "wnat the

ANECDoTE OF GEN. HANCOCK.-The fol-
lowing good story is going the rounds of the
newspapers:
4 gentleman from Athaway, r. l., while
on his way to the Inauguration, was looking
for seat on the cars between New \ ork and
Philadelphia, when he discovered a portiy
gentleman who had whole seat to himself.
Being thin man, the Rhode Islander con-
cludeG there was room enough for him, and
so he squeezed in. Soon conversation began.
The Rhode Islander said he was a Republi-
can. and thought last Pail that it would not
be well for the country 10 have a change, but
that he had a brother who was a Democrat
Soon the train stopped at a station, and the
gentleman from Rhode Island stepped To the
platform and met an acquaintance, who, after
little time, remarked General Hancock
is on this train, and as l am acquainted with
him, perhaps YOU would like an intToduc-
ton" They entered the car and approach
ing the portly gentleman whom he had Just
left, the Rhode Islander was introduced to
the General. With merry twinkle of the
eye, General Hancock said 81 will sha Ike
with you for your brothers sake"

A Fish" STORY ABOUT A GoosE.-A far
meT of London township, Ont, noticed one
morning that a wild goose had joined his
flock. Somewhat surprised at this sudden
change to domestic life, he carefully obser-
we'd the behavior of the visitor. He soon
learned that it had not yet actually joined
its barn-yard relatives, but only appeared at
meal time. Further investigation showed
that after the goose had thoroughly satisfied
her own appetite she would pick up an ear
of corn and fly away Greatly interested by
tie strange conduct of the bird, the farmer
one morning watched the direction of It's
flight. 1t was but short distance to the
river. Going down to the bank, he discover
ed his visitor standing by companion who
was lying on the ground and feeding on the
ear of corn. In order to understand this res
taurant project he walked up to the feeder
and found that it had been SO disabled that
it could neither walk or fly. Without dis
tuTbing it he morning after morning watched
the generous goose carry away an ear of corn.
Finally the yiSit= ceased, bat shortly after
wards the sick gander himself waddIed into
the camp and gobbled up the corn himself
He has remained all winter, and the indica-
tions are that he has made up his mind to
settle down and 60 to housekeeping.

STRANGE STORY OF A RING.

Many years ago lady sent her seTvant-a
young man about twen ty years Of age, and
native OF the country where his mistress re
sided-to a neighboring town with ring
which required some alteration, to be deliv-
cred int o the hand of a jeweller.
The young man went the shortest way,
across field; and coming 20 a little wooden
bridge that crossed a small stream, he lean
ed against the railing, and took the ring out
of its case to look at it.
While doing so, it slipped out of his hand
and fell into the water.
In vain he searched for it, even till it grew
dark.
He thought that it fell into the hollow
stump of a tree under water; but he could
not find it.
The time taken in the search was so long
that he feared to return and te II his story,
thinking it incredabe. and that he should
even be suspected of having gone into evil
company and gained it away, or else of hav-
ing sold it.
In this fear he determined never to return
left his wages and clothes, and fairly ran
away.
This seemingly great misfortune was the
making of him.
OF his intermediate life we know nothing
but this: after many years absence in the
East or West Indies, he returned with a con-
siderable fortune.
He now wished to clear himself with his
old mistress
Ascertaining that she was still living, he
purchased diamond of considerable value,
which he determined to present in person ,
and clear his character by telling his tale,
which the credit of his present position
might Justify.
He took the coach to the town we have al
luded to, and from thence he set ont to walk
the remaining distance of few miles.
He found, on alighting from the coach, an
old gentleman who resided in the neighbor
hood, and who was also on the way to visit
the adjacent village.
They walked there together and, engag
| ing in conversation, this former servant, nov
| agreeable address, communicated the cir
/ cumstances that made him leave the countr!
so abruptly many years before.
/ As he was telling this they came to tn
very wooden bridge.
There" said he ''it was Just here that
/ dropped the ring and there is the very hi
/ of old tree, into hole of which il fell-jus
there
At the same time he put down the poin
of his umbrella into a hole Of a knot in tn
tree and then drawing it up, to the aston
ishment of both, he found the very ring ol
the ferrule of the umbrella.

Twas break Of day, and Summers morn.
The soft wind rustled the waving corn,
The birds were singing a cheerful lay
To greet the dawn OF the coming day,
When a drowsy youth with languid air,
Slowly descended the attic stair.
He took down HIS old straw hat from its nail,
And over his arm hung the milking pail,
And followed the lane with sluggish tread
To the pasture lot where the cattle fed.
His one-Iegged stool from the pasture-fence
He took, and IeisurelY wandered thence,
And settled himself TO business now
At the starboard side Of the brindle COW.
The IacteaI fluid, rich and sweet,
Had nearly filled the pail at his feet,
When the old COW switched her tail at fy,
And struck the youngster plump in the eye.
80, so, dod-rot ye look at ye now!
Dogone such dOd-durned. ornery COW,
Just try that over ye 'tarnal fool,
An I'll bust yer ribs with the milking stool -
But soon she aimed at another fly,
And hit him lick in the other eye.
He howIed with pain. swore he'd .'be burned :"
And totally dashed" and essentially burned
If he didn't demolish that cussed COW,
And grabbed his stool but. alas somehow,
Before he could get In a lick, he felt
An awful concussiOn below the belt.
passing glimpse OF brindle's heel
A sigh of pain. krOan, a reel
And down upon the dewy grass.
In one conglomerated mass,
Went youth and stool and milk and pail
And brindle, with erected tall,
Sped snorting DER the pasture wide,
Nor halted short Of the other side.
The morning waned. the sun grew hot,
Id FI,Er
The old folks wondered and uneasy grew
And down to the pasture lot they flew.
And there they found him where he fell,
With scarcely life enough to tell
The scared and trembling old folks how
The burned, Internal brindle COW
Had given him such n fearful bout,
And nearly kicked his insides oue.
But never from that time till now
Has he ventured near the brindle cow,
Who switches her tail as bIithe as when
She kicked the youth IN the abdomen.
