HOW A STREET-CAR-DRIV-
Err CHANGED A 800
RTLT

Suppose you come across a good many
strange customers on your daily jour
ney?" observed the reporter.
"YOu bet do. Not only strange Gus
toners but aggraYating ones, also. The
change system reminds me of trick |
once played on a man which cost me a
years savings. He was a tall, lank in
diyidual, looking very much like Meth
Odist parsOn. He was on Sixth street
car; q was driving them and offered the
conductor a 800 bill for his fare.
Haven't you got anything smaller?'
asked my mate. NO, my FRIEND says the
lank individual. So he rode that time
for nothing as the conductor could not
give change, and did not like to put him
off; he looked so respectable, and, be-
sides, we did not have the rule we have
now, Conductors not forced to give be-
yond 50 change The lank individual
rode two OF three times on the car, and
never had any money except the 800
bill. The conductor told me of 1t one
night, and got an idea into my head.
Jack says, If that person rides with
us again and offers the 800 bill, you
bring it to me- | had little money

car. In day or two my mate came in
front and says: Tom, the gentlemah's
only got a $lOO bill-can you change
it?' l gives the conductor the key of
the locker. l had told him about the
silver, and my mate took twenty-fOur
cents out of the bag for four fares which
were owing, and then handed the rest,
bag and ali, to the lank individual. He
vowed and protested he wouldn't take
such change, but my mate said he knOwed
him, and that he wasn't going to play
the 800 bill game on him any longer,
and so the lank individual got out, shak-
ing his fist at my mate, with the bag of
silver tucked under his arm. The next
day took off, and went to return the
800 to the bank. l handed over the
bill. The cashier takes it up, looks at
it, and says: Here, young man, this
won't do; it's counterfeit. If you had

A NEWSPAPER IN COURT.
Colonel A. g. COlyar Obtains a
Controlling Interest In the
American.

Nashville Banner, 22.l
A case of great Importance was de-
cided in the Chancery Court by Chan
cellor Merritt, yesterday afternoon, in
which Hon. A. s. Colyar and j. O.,
Warner are compliments and the
Union and American Publishing Com
pany are defendants.
The facts in the case, briefly stated,
are that Hon. A. s. Colyar purchased
of j. G. Warner, the administrator of
John Q. Burch, deceased, all Of the
stock in the Union and American
Publishing Company owned by Burch
at the time Of his death, About the
first of January a corporate meeting
was held for the purpose of increasing
the stock of the company, the new
stock to be sold to H. M. Doak. The
complainants fled their bill enjoining
them from such proceedings. The
defendants made a motion to dissolve
the injunction, and the case was heard
last week. The Chancellor yesterday
refused to dissolve the injunction, and
Colonel Colyar is now the controlling
spirit of the company.
The Chancellor holding that under
the charter of the Union and Ameri-
can Publishing Company, the board Of
directors had a right to increase the
stock, but not in themanner proposed.
The object of the proposed increase of
stock, as it appears, was to prevent A.
s. Colyar from holding a controlling
interest in the concern. Colonel Col
var paid $4,000 for a fraction over
100000 worth of the stock. A.. S.
Marks, Ex-Governor, - McNeilly,
j. j. Vertrees and John Childress
appearing for the complainants and
Ed Baxter aud Thomas Malone for
the defendants.
1t is understood that the stock.
holders will meet tomorrow for the
the purpose of electing a board of
directors.

that bribing men is not wrong, and
that it makes no difference how you

civilization has left behind, all that
law tramples under foot, and uses
them, and plays with them, he has
lost all sense Of corruption, all sense
Of shame. Do you suppose hal such

atty rs for enterprise and broad gauge

in the light Of results, that the Presi.
dent of the company

in extending his operations, and the
event proves that he could not foresee
everything and that he has miscalcu-
lated in some way; but everyone will

In 1878, the resources of the company
are greater, and the high reputation
of the gentlemen concerned has at
least not suffered by the severe test
and the brilliant issue of the extension
of 1878-l880.
1t is believed that no inconvenience
would ever have been felt if the money
market had remained in a normal CON
dition, and it is confidently asserted
that an extension of time to bridge
over the pinch in money will entirely
relieve the corporation and the gen.

A PILOT EDITOR.
Captain Paul BOytOn's ExPeri-

Ofthe shears.
New Orleans States, Ill

New Orleans States, Ill
Captain Paul Boyton tells a good
story on an Illinois newspaper man.
Some time since, while cruising with
Captain Greiner, they struck a town
up in Illinois without a pilot who
knew the dangers of the stream they
were n As it would not do to at
tempt the navigation without a pilot,
every effort was made to secure one.
The only man in the town who
knew the river was the editor of the
only paper in the place. Not desiring
to approach so prominent an individu-
al with a proposition to hire" him as
a pilot, it was finally decided to "in-
vite' the shower of the shears to &C.
company them up the river as a com
panion whose company
WAS WORTH HIS BOARD.
With this plea in view, and twenty
FIVE dollars in cash to pay him for his
service if he should demand it, the
Captain entered the sanctum, hat in
hand, and explained to the editor that
as it was the intention Of the party
to make a pleasure trip up the river
his presence during the trip was de-
sired, and he could be assured of
having a jolly time if he would join
the party. The editor was not to be
caught by
SUCH A SOFT SNAP
as the Captain tried to put up and
recognizing the need Of the occasion,
he blandly remarked:
"0h, | know what you fellows are
after. You want me to pilot your boat
for you"
"That is true" replied the Captain;
but | hesitated about offering to pay
you for the service, but if you prefer [

well, how much do you want?"
After considering the matter for a
few minutes, making a mental calcu-
cation, he turned to the Captain and,
with much emphasis, said:
Il know it will disappoint my sub
scribers if they miss one issue, but if
you will give me three dollars and
board | will CO."
The Captain jumped at the bargain
and closed the trade, and he took the
editor with them to the great disap-
pointment of the subscribers of the
weekly sheet.
In the next weeks issue the editor
apologized for the non.appearance Of
the week previous on account of a
sudden a S Of acute illness.
