Money.

He DEPARTED.
He Was a Very Nice Person, and
Intensely Patriotic. He Hated
Southern Rebels, and Knew Wall
Street Like a Book. He Had a
Great Scheme, But il Fell.

There are reports in circulation that
there are some aching hearts in town
this afternoon. Cause--too much con-
tSdence mixed perhaps. with a little
greed.
A couple OF weeks ago q gent. with a
smooth tongue arrived in town, as the
story goes, and charmed many OF the
natives a'ad long naturalized by the
facility with which he could set forth
schemes for making money.
He was from New York, of course, and
Bill Mckinley and himself slept under
the Slime blanket and used to steal col.

the civil war. There was nothing Bill

the natives and long natura' lied whom
he honored with his confidence.
He finally boE<owed a mine-a mica

out of t.tbese damned flush eastern

to place stock were it would do the most
good a'ad bring in the most money.
He brought few letters of introduc.

drafts that were indorsed by his new
