Professional street Beggar.
While passing the post-ofiice last
night gentleman was stopped by a
brawny, out-at-elbows, whisky set king
eggar, who said: Look here. mister,
will you lend me fifty cents?''
Lend. eh?' was the reply. why
should lend you fifty cents? What do
you want to do with it,"
II want cigar. drink. and a bed =
replied the fellow, with an impndcnt
lcer.
You have certainly struck q new
line of begging, my man. but it won t
work with me. In the first place, your
mouth would disgrace a decent cigar;
in the second place, you have had too
much to drink already; and in the
third place, you should be ashamed 10
pilot your dirty carcass into any bed
The speaker passed on. but before he
had gone twenty steps the ruflian
caught mp with him. gave him shout
der-shOve, and said in a truculent voice:
Hold on. young fellow, do you mean
t. say I'm drunk"
dropping back pace, the gentle
man answered quietly: so you are
here again. Well. this time Your de-
auctions are partly wrong. I'm neither
young nor q Teller, but | am sure you
are drunk or crazy. and If you touch
me again ] will give you lead instead Of
silver at the same time drawing a
revolver.
The rough showed no sign of fear.
but after coolly glancing at the pistol,
said: $50 that the kind of hair-pin
you are, is it? l guess you have sized
my pile; good evening" and then
sauntered of in leisurely don 't-care-
a-snap manner.
Fifteen minutes later, when repassing
the post-oflice, the gentleman caught
sight Of his late applicant standing by
lamp-post. The recognition was
mutual. and the scamp called out to
him: WAT q minute, mister. I've got
something to show yer. See here. !"

he Botanical Gardens are open daily from
o a. m. to 6p. m. They are situated
at the foot Of Capitol Hill, facing Penn
sylvania avenue. The object of the gar
den is experimental in Horticulture, pub
lie information and the distribution Of
rare plants. The disposition of the col.
lection is according to geographical
distribution. The strictly tropical plants
occupy the central conservatory, and
those Of a semi-tropical nature are
placed in the west range and wing, and
all indigenous to countries lying to-
ward the South Pole are in the east
range and wing. During the summer
the hardest plants in boxes are ranged
ON either side Of the main walk, and
contribute materially to the beauty Of
the garden. In the centre of the lawn
facing the conservatory is the Bar
tholdi fountain, which was exhibited at
the Centennial EXposition,in 1876. The
fountain, in full play, presents bcauti-
full effect, especially when rejecting
the rays of the sun.
