a Roper Yarn.

1t Is doubtful whether there was happier
man in all America yesterday than Captain
Alfred Roper Of the ocean tramp AMER
Head In the morning Judge Hoffman gave
his decision in the matter of the unlawfully
constructed berths, which was favorable to
the prosecuted skipper and elated him be-
vond bounds In the afternoon he appeared
at the Custom-house to take out his clear
ance papers. Assistant Surveyor Brown
and Pack XVII were absent on the mail
dock, and Captain Roper was therefore
spared the annoyance of meeting them In
this the happIest moment of his life. The
necessary documents were obtained with all
possible dispatch. Every clerk and officer
who had the good fortune of handling them
smiled sweety upon the happy
Briton The naval officer was especially
disposed to profer everlasting friendship.
Deputy Pattison signed his name with an
extra flourish to the =. p on the Captain :
bill of health the cashier broke off in the
middle Of a column of additions to take a
last look upon the rudy countenance of the
happy man, and the Office boy clambered
upon a stool and stopped eating the flour
paste. Captain Roper descended the stone
steps of the Custom-house thoroughly re-
concIled man. AS he turned to shake
hands with his broker, he heaved great
sigh Of relief and, shifting the fresh trade
wind breeze which came bowling down
from the direction of the seawall, he walked
off rapidly to his ship. There all was bus
tie and activity.-S. F. Chronicle, Aug z.
