A BOLD BOBBKRT.
A trading steamboat belonging to
Katohea merchant wai lying tied up
to the bank ooo eveuing after and un
usually prosperous trip, preparatory to
starting for home. It was not regard
ed as an unusual occurrence that fire
strangers came dropping in at inter
vals to take passage. It is true there
was a reraakable uniformity about
them, almost as suspicious as the blue
army overcoats and the absence of
masks which marked the highwaymen
of Little Rock. They were all hand
some, all well dressod, all distinguished
looking, and it was noted by one par
ticularly thoughtful observer that they
all wort new boots. Yet this ominous
array of coincidences appears to have
aroused no flutter of anxiety in the
gaileless Louisiana bosom, . The five
seemed to be perfect strangers ; they
conducted themselves with entire dig
nity and decorum, and were intent up
on nothing apparently but to get their
beauty and their distinction and their
good clothes to Natches a quickly
and as comfortably as possible. Pres
ently, however, the handsomest and
most distinguished of the five arose,
and with a most fascinating atnile, ot
tered the simple and commonplace
words, "shall we 7" Thereupon uprose
the other four, atjd before they well
knew haw it was done, the-Captain
and crew and Captain's clerk, the
pilot, and cabin-boy every soul on
board of that unlucky' steamer was
lying bound and gagged on deck,
'While the handsome five were letirarely
ransacking the safe, and packing up
an assorted ' selection of the cargo.
.With- these r acquisitions . tbey rode
handsomely away, and it is perhaps
needless to add that in the vicinity of
Natchei for the present it is deemed
offensive, not to say indecent, for a
' man to be handsome or distinguished,
or to wear good clothes, and especially
to wear new boots.
Detroit Free Press: "A band of
Ohio women gathered in front of a
lawyer's office by mistake and prayed
and sang half an hour before they
learned that they had been, throwing
away time. It is calculated that their
prayers wouldn't have had any effect
under eighteen months.

A gentleman going up 'Sixth ave

Some young men in Green Bay pre

An Indiana paper thus politely ex
presses an opinion of a iudge: "He

Eli Love, of Wayne County, Ohio,

There are two reasons why some
people don't mind their own business.
One is that they haven't any business,
