Gated that be was a thorough scoundrel.
A man named Pellonl was associated
with Cont, and the two represented
themselves as agents Of Swiss-ltalian
Colonization Company of large capital
and high standing. BY means OF piausl-
BE language and forged papers,
these men induced several persons
to believe their statements. and
they succeeded in gaining considerable
sum OF money from parties in Florida and
from their unfortunate Italian victims.
They had established their European
headquarters 10 the town Of ChiassO,
Switzerland, from whence they sent
drummers into Italy TO induce farmers
and others who had saved little money
TO join the colony. Recent letters from
Europe state that PellOni, after his re-
turn, incautiOusly veUtured into Italy,
when ne was seized ana lodged IN
Jail by the Italian government.
Cont, the principal, is still at large in
Switzerland, but sooner or later his
government Will get possession OF him.

in driving a bargain, and the CELEBRITY
with which be makes a purchase wnen
credit is offered aim, we cite the following
instance which occurred in one of our
stores recently: An unknown country
darky dropped IN, and among the many
otter things ne looked at, he priced an
oYercOat. The merchant, as is his
wont, priced him the coat very cheap for
cash, but the darkv declined to
purchase il and was shown another
one at a less price. This was likewise
declined, as were several others, all OF
which had been offered him at very
small margin OF profit. The merchant
who. by the way, knows how TO drive a
bargain as we'll as his neighbors finally
decided, in his despair at not effecting
sale, to resort to the credit dodge in the
nope of accomplishing the result desired,
and TO this end selected from bis stock
coat which cost him 81 90. and
which he would have willingly
taken cost for. This he
oGered to the intelligent and honest black
tor $40, agreeing 10 charge 81
Of It and accept the rema ming IS cash.
The coon bit at the offer with the alacrity
oi catfish swallowing worm, and With
out examining the coat or even trying it
on, he took il and went on bis way rejOic-
Ing, elated with the idea Of having got it
partly at least on a credit. The merchant
IS rather Indifferent about the payment OF
the - balance which was charged.
