A nRAM AMONG IOKERs.


For long time there has been fire.
quent interchange Of courtesies of var
Jed kinds between Culbert's black
smith shop. on Fourth street, and the
police patrol station, on French street
near Front. In the matter OF practical
Jokes the men employed in each place
have been trying for months to obtain
the lead, and, if the last attempt was
not a draw the wayfarer is much mis-
taken.
The boys at the blacksmith shop
packed a yalise full of miscellaneous
articles, including quantity OF wo-
mans clothing, addressed 1t to John
Purcell. driver of the patrol, and dis
patched it to the station by Bob Down
ing and a mulatto. When they reached
the station, Purcell, who will so to any
amount Of trouble to outwit men who
mediate a joke at his expense, smelt &
mouse and put both Downing and th'
mulaito under arrest, claiming tha
they had stolen the valise and its con
tents. The patrol wagon was run on
and the mulatto placed in IT, Downing

inquired.

When a man gets stranded in a
strange place he can, without much In
jury to his reputation, manage to get
out, but, with a girl, it is entirely diff
ferent, especially il she is young and
good looking. She is afraid to ask
strangers for assistance, knowing how
prone men are to presume upon her de-
pendence and with what a cold and
suspicious eye womankind looks upon
a pretty girl who is penniless and away
from home.
Illustrative Of an embarrassing situ-
alton of this sort the Wayfarer will re
late the experience Of two nice and
respectable Wilmington girls in Jer-
sey. They both live on the West
Side. Some days ago they decided to
30 over to Pennsgrove to see the Penn
sylvania soldier boys in camp. Their
intention was to take the early morn
ing boat and put in a full day OF it,
but when they reached King street
wharf they discovered that they were
late and the Ulrica had gone. There
was nothing left for them to do but to
take the next boat. which necessitated
a wait OF two or three hours. "a young
man OF their acquaintance chanced to
be down at the wharf at that time and
volunteered to hold their tickets for
them. II was an act Of gallantry which
they could not we'll refuse, and when
he kept the tickets they did not de-
MUIR for they were out for a good time
and wanted as little trouble as posi-
ble.
They landed in Pennsgrove, walked
up the pier, spent part OF their time in
camp and part OF it in Frenchs grove,
and 1t did not take Song for o'clock
TO roll round. They were having such
good time that they failed to hear
the Ulrica's whistle notifying Will
mington passengers that il was time to
go aboard. Their first intimation OF
trouble was when they saw the steamer
out in midstream, making her way TO-
wards the Christiana river. Then they
discovered that their fellow-voyager
was aboard with their tickets in his
pocket; that there was no other boat
that night and that they were abso.
lutely penniless. The Wayfarer's read
ers can Imagine how they felt anC
what they said
AS good luck would have it, they
espied among the philadelphia
excursionists some young men whom
they knew right we'll and explained Il
them the dilemma they were in. TIL
result was that the boys bought then
tickets to Philadelphia on the excur
sion train and advanced them a sum o
money sufficient to pay their way dow
TO Wilmington, where they arrived a
IL o'clock, in a state OF mOrtifcatioi
and weariness which was pitiful to be
hold.
