They Paid the Bill.
ON the Chicago Inter-ocean.

From the Chicago mter-ocean.
Two southern planters, one from Alabama
and the other from Louisiana, met one day
in New Orleans after the war. One, the
colonel. had been in the confederate army.
but the other. the judge, from some phys
ical disability, had remained at home and
had managed to save a small portion of his
fortune from the wreck, enough to live on
comfortably In his declining years, but the
colonel had lost everything; in fact, was in
his friend warmly, and insisted on the col
onefs dining with him. which invitation the
latter gladly accepted.
Accordingly, after partaking Of a few
drinks by way of appetizers at the bar of
the st. Charles Hotel, they adjourned to a
fashionable restaurant. After a prelimi-
nary mint 5ulep or so the Judge called for
the bill of fare. and the waiter quickly
complied with his request placing before
that gentleman a menu with a wine list at
tached, not printed, but written out in a
very fine hand. The Judge and his friend
selected certain dishes and gave a liberal
order for wine with every course The re-
past over, the Judge and the colonel stiH
tarried, discussing old times before the war
and disposing of bottle after bottle AT
last, becoming little confused in their
ideas. they concluded to get a carriage and
take a ride along the she'll road to the old
Spanish fort The judge. before rising.
called to the waiter for the bill. The latter,
seeing no preparation for departure
thought he meant the bill Of fare, which
was accordingly brought The Judge SOL
EMMY adjusted his glasses and commenced
to add 1t up on both sides, making a total
Of over 500. The colonel, who during this
operation had been nodding off to sleep,
was awakened by a loud exclamation from
the Judge and on inquiring the reason the
latter shouted out in a loud voice: "Extor-
ton, sir! They have charged US slVv for
this little sitting. 1t is outrageous, and 1
will not submit to IT." The colonel. rising
and laying one hand on his friends breast,
said in a persuasive manner: There is no
doubt judge, that 1t is swindle of the
deepest dye. But for all that do not dis
pute the account. Remember, you are a
southern gentleman. judge. Pay the bill,
but shoot the landlord" OF course. when
the judge proceeded to settle. everything
was satisfactorily explained, and the judge.
colonel, landlord and waiter all smiled"
