for the carriages, Senator johnson called
Colonel H. 5. Osgood, Of Augusta, forward
The Colonel, not suspecting what was
to come, obeyed the request. when
the Senator said the California dele

generous hospitality by the people
of Maine and by the delegation from this
State. They were also deeply indebted to-
Colonel Osgood for the kind attention and
the generous treatment on his part that had
marked every foot of the way from Buffalo
TO the present time. Having done so much

walked into an uptown hotel, and APP
preaching the proprietor, informed him
that they had Just arrived from the BAY.
The parties whom they expected to have
met on the arrival of the train were absent
from the city, but would return in the
evening. They desired to get supper, were
not mendicants, although they had no
money with them, and if it would be agree
able, they would deposit some valuables
and call for them later in the dav. The
obliging landlord smiled and accepted as a
pledge for their meals a plain gold ring,
which one careleSsly took from his finger
and passed over the counter to the propri-
etor, who tossed it into the till with all the
nonchalance of an Uncle Isaac After their
meal, they emerged from the dining-room,
braced their host for cigars and a dollar
in silver-on their pledge, of course. Yes
terday the hOtel-keepcr was relating the in
cident to several of his friends, and was
wondering why the young man had not
called for his ring. One of the bystanders
asked to see the pledge, when it was pro-
duced. As the landlord passed it over the
counter he expressed much surprise at its
changed color. Instead of its being plain
gold ring of several dollars value, it proved
to be one of brass, and such as are found in
tive-cent prize candy boxes, worth by the
wholesale about three cents gross
