finds amusement in mystifying simple
minded folks. A correspondent of tho
Boston Transcript, writing from Wash

has been exhibiting his skill, tells Of
his success in astonishing group of
colored people:

one of the largest and finest market
houses in the world, and one of its most
picturesque features is tile row of
comfortable negro mammies, with bas-
kets of eggs and vegetables, sitting ont
side the building, laughing, chatting
and smoking.
The Straightforward expert, who had
a friend with him, sauntered up to one
lnky-black old marketwoman with n
pipe in her mouth and a beautiful
array OF fresh eggs before her He
looked at them and asked the price.
