The Gard fake"
From the Pittsbnrq Chronicle


A gentleman residing in Allegheny re-
lates a story of the card fake" which Of
late has been successfully operated by the
boys. BY the way, little boys and girls are
drafted into the business in large numbers.
The cards, which are Of the fancy picture
variety, much appreciated by very small
children, and which may be bought at any
of the book stores for few cents n gross,
are put up into rough, enveloped- shaped
packages. They are addressed with the
names of the persons residing in thu houses
at (which they are left. The names are
probably obtained from the directory. In
each package are placed short letter and
a dozen cards. The letter or rather the
sample seen by reporter runs thus:
"Will YOU be SO kind as to buy some Of
these cards! They are ) cents apiece or
three for dime. | will call for the package
in half an hour. am poor boy and my
mother is sick, and am trying to make a
living for her and myself"
These packages are left, say, at all the
houses in block, or perhaps two blocks, if
the boy has been enterprlsiug enough to
supply himself with a sufficient number of
packages. The writing of the letter is in a
bOylsh hand, bat plain enou IN 10 b. easily
read. The servants take these packages to
their employers, aud a. they are properly
addressed they are, of course, opened and
examined. If the gentleman or lady of the
house, whichever happens 20 open the pack
age, does not detect the trick as a piece #
professional beg ging, which 1t is, and she
or he literally disposed, the boy will receive
% cents, and probably 81 cents, when he
returns for his cards, besides, in most cases,
all of the cards back again. The card 'faken
has had a prosperous run on the north side,
and readers ia the weather. sections Of the
east end and city proper may expect its
arrival before long unless this expo sure
makes it necessary for the professionals
engaged at the business to substitute some
oJher swindle.

And Narrowly Escaped Becoming the
Mother of Her Country.
George Washington was once a rejected
lover. The fact is testified to by his own
hand in letter given to the world few
years years ago by Gen. Fitzhugh Lee.
Gen. Lee, writing to the editor of Vir-
gina paper about the matter, said:
AT the request Of many persous / send
you and thus permit the publication of the
inclosed letter. 1t is, as you see from Gen.
Washington, written over 120 years ago.
and is addressed to william Fautleroy,
ST., in Richmond the brother of Miss
Betsy, referred 20 50 tenderly. I think it
reveals al affair de cR1tr on the part Of the
Father of ms Country for 1t is not said
that he was the father of anything or any
body else not heretofore known. Wash
ington, at the time this letter was written,
was some 20 years and 3 months old, and is
represented by all historians and biograph-
ers as a quiet, dignitied, bashful and reti-
cent young man; but, alas it seems in that,
as in this day, those particular kind of young
men always did the most courting."
Wasaingtons letter inclosed is as folio VS.
"SIR--I should have been down long be-
fore this, but my business in Frederick

strength, to wait on Miss Betsy, ia hopes Of

my favor. | have inclosed a letter to her,
which | should be obliged to you for the
delivery of it. l have nothing to add but
