JACK IN H BOX,
Or Rather q Booty B0arder in a
Clothes Basket.

A booty citizen, boarding in an up
town house, found the way up the back
stairs late last night, and finding his
room door locked e%nsconced himself
in a big clothes basket where be fell
fast asleep. A little black-and-tan
dog on the premises detected him a
few hours later, and set up a terrific
barking. This aroused the landlady
who summoned two lady boarders, and
armed with the broom, shovel and
tongs, mounted the stairs. The dog
discovered he was noticed, and in
erased his clamor. At last the fore
most of the trio reached the head of
the stairway, and raising the lamp
above her head, stared around defiant
ly. She made a picture never to be
forgotten, as she stood there, the night
wind filling the folds of her ~night-robe
and Tapping the strings Of her
nightcap about her face, which, lit by
the feeble rays of the tickle lamp,
showed a powerful determination to
calp that burglar or die. Giving the
broomstick a flourish, she advanced
another step, when a snore Of indie
scribable dimen sions issued from the
basket. A retreat was beat to the
foot of the stairs, where, stopping to
regain breath, the three females lis
tened to a repetition of the strange
sound.
Remouuting the steps again with
cat like tread, the tall female boss Of
the hash foundry waited. The dog
increased his barking to such a degree
that the inhabitant of the basket
awoke with a start, popping open the
top of the basket like a jack-in-the-
box, and displaying to the electrified
ladies the face Of the gentleman
boarder. There he stood, bolt upright
in the basket, and gazed around like a
simpleton, until finally the extreme
awkwardness Of his position, together
with the appearance Of the ladies Gu
dishabille, reused him and he broke
into a hearty laugh.
The fascO ended with a feminine
stampede, with much giggling and red
faces at breakfast this morning.

A scattering Mexican silver dol
lar was noticed among the collectors
yesterday as they went about. Nearly
every one steered clear of them, how
ever. claiming not to understand their
market value. They are really worth
at the present time from SO to 50 cents
each, while a French five franc piece.
very scarce, is worth So to 50 cents.
Trade dollars are valued at 999 cents
to 81 each.
The flesh Of fine Arkansas black
bear has been selling in this market
at the reasonable figure of 129 cents
per pound. In other cities the same
luxury often readily commands fifty
cents per pound, especially during the
holiday season. The Savannah river
shad, of the finest quality, have been
selling here at about fifteen cents a
pound, while in New York they COM
mand three times that figure.

How a Sharper Beat n Country
GOSIing out of S75.

A countryman called at the station
this morning and informed the police
that he had been swindled out of SO
BY a fellow at Halls museum on Main
street, near Adams. Captain Hack
EFT was sent with him to the place,
and the rustic pointed out William
Chase, the same party who was ar
rested about a week since on a similar
charge and fined $50. Chase was
again locked up and country taken be-
fore the grand jury, as the police are
determined to break up this uefarious
trade.
Chase's swindle consists Of a mum,
Der of envelopes containing numbers,
with boxes numbered to correspond
aud said to contain money prizes all
the way up from 81 to $500. The
little game as it was worked this
morning is about the same as it is
usually done. Chase sat behind his
little showcase smoking a cigarette.
The c%ountryman walked in, and was
approached by the roper, who sug-
gested that they buck the game.
Il never gamble" replied the rustic.
Lets just try for fun to see what
we would get if we were playing in
earnest"
The greenhOrn agreed, and the en-
velopes containing the numbers were
shaken up dextronsly, so that he
would naturally draw the one intend
ed. The roper took another, and
opening his said he had made a failure,
as the nupber Of his did not cores
pond with that of any of the prize
boxes.
May be you have done better" he
said to the country man, who did moi
know how to proceed.
Let me see your number" and
opening the envelope the roper drew
the bit Of pasteboard just far enough
out to display the lower part Of the
IA, which looked ike II. This nun.
Der, eleven, correspondent exactlywitl
the number on the box marked $50.
Don't you see you have it." sale
the roper in a whisper. "Bet SO OF
it now, or if you don't want it II
take it off your hands"
Country bit like a trout at a fly, ant
bet SIS, but to his horror discovered
that his number, when fully exposed
was IA, and not II.
Chase denied to the police ever hav
ing seen the man, but the country ma
will swear against him. A ten years
sentence is the proper thing for sue
sharks.
