Deaii Advocatb : I hnvo had to take the old card -"No Political Discussion Allorvt-d," from IU hiding place and put It once more In service on the wall of my sanctum, where It did duty so long and so well, and where, from tho look of things, it may remain forever I To he sure much porgross has been mado as regards the settlement of the complications in the political world, and I'm sure your readers will agree with mo that matters nro now just as muih In tho mud as they are In tho mire. Can I say moro ? t Would you l.nvo me do what the mnii who cnt the cherry tree with his little hatchet never did ? No sir, never I With ono hand on my pockethook nnd tho other on somebody elses, I repeat it, sir, wtvEitl Several years ago an under employee of thn Mint managed to rob Uncle Sam (not S. J. T.) In n most remnrkable nnd Ingenious manner and It was 8into time beforo he was detected. This Is the way he used to do It : Ho would set n trnp for rats nnd If he managed to catch ono or more of them the rodents, ho would cram or stuff them with gold pieces nnd then carefully throw them out of the window Into the street, whoto ho would pick them up nfler ho had left his work for the day, nnd taking them home would disgorge them of their golden contents. Shakspearo says In ono of his plays "Dead for n duc.it " Hut I could not apply tho quotation fiom ''the Immortal hard" with pro priety as regards a lettet I received the other day from tho dead letter ofiico at Washington, for my correspondent had mailed his latter from New York but used a two cent stamp Instead of a three, therefore his letter was dead,and "Dead for a cent." A gentloman was counting somo money In ono of our banks the other day when a polite spoken and good loooking fellow enmo up and said to him : "Beg pardon, sir, you've drop ped some of your money." When the gentleman rnlsed bis head after looking upon tho floor, fruitlessly, for an Inst ant, ho discovered that the polite spok en and good looking gontlemnn had decamped and taken $580 of his money. The weather of late has been about as unreliable as a Louisiana Returning Hoard. Tho times must be sadly out of Joint when Supremo Courts can be treated witli supieme contempt. Some few days since a drunken beg gar woman with a baby In her arms was found reeling about tho streets of Now York. The police took her to tlio station houso and when her infant was handed over to the matron, it was found to bo nothing but a bundle ol rags. Jokes about "the rag baby" are no v In order nnd I hope this incident will be utilized by some of the politi cians. "There's millions In It." It is repmted that one ot our wealthy families had a turkey with all the nce, essary trimmings for dinner on Thanks giving Day. I have this on good au thority aud yet wo speak of hard times. Died.
