Wild Cat Mosey. The recent annoyance
consequent upon the suspension of specie pay
ments by the banks,brings to mind an incident
which occurred something like twenty years
ago in a western city. The story may have
been published, but we do not remember hav
ing seen it in print ; at all events we will tell
it and run the risk.
At the time we speak of, a gentleman having
in his possession ten or twelve hundred dollars
on a certain banking institution away out west,
went up to the counter one fine morning, and
addressed the teller in the following langnage
"Good morning, sir. Beautiful weather. A'
hem 7 I have something over a thousand dol
larg worth of your money in my pocket. Do
you redeem?"
The teller says "Good morning," smiles
blandly, and answers :
"We redeem, sir, but we do not pay specie.'
"Do not pay specie, hey ? Suspended, I
suppose V
'Suspended."
"What do yon redeem with then ?" was the
next question.
'".f ith bills of other banks " replied the
clerk most pleasantly.
"And those, I presume, are also non-specie
paying banks 1"
"Very probably they are, sir," bowing po
litely.
"Well, then, what kind of bills can you
give me ?"
"Most any kind, sir. Give you Red Cat."
'Can't stand it."
"Well, thea, how's Gray Cat "
" Wouldn't give a straw for a barrel of it."
"What do you say to Black Cat V
"Tain't worth a cuss ! It wouldn't bo any
accommodation at all. 1 don't want your in
fernal Wild Cat money neither Red Cat, Grey
Cat, Black Cat, White Cat, or Tom Cat.
wouldn't use it to litter a horse with. Haven't
you got some money on Eastern banks ?"
Oio, sir," softly and very polite ''East
ern banks are principally specie-paying insti
tutions."
"If not Eastern, then, have you bills on any
other banks that do pay out specie."
"No, sir," said the teller, most courteously
"Well, then," drawing his package from his
pocket with a desperate expression of counte
nance "can you give me tolerably executed
counterfeit bills on any bank that docs pay
specie ?"
"Xo, sir !" very loud, and looked as if he
felt himself insulted.
Umbrellas. It is but a hundred years since
an Englishman named Jonas Hanway, having
returned from his "travels in the cast" (the
record of which is still preserved in volumin
ous quarto lorm, with that title in some old
libraries,) appeared on the stects of London
on a rainy day, (it does rain in England some
times,) with a queer notion imported from
China, in the shape of what is now called an
umbrella. It was the first ever seen or used
in England, probably the first in Europe. It
attracted such curious and indignant notice,
that the eccentric Jonas was soon surrounded
by a furious English mob, and was boldly pel
ted with mud and other convenient missiles,
for his presumptious audacity in thus attempt
ing to screen his head and figure from the rain,
which true born Englishmen, from time im
memorial, had allowed to beat upontheiu with
out resistance, as an "inevitable" visitation
from the powers above upon all who chose to
leave the shelter of a roof in a storm or a show
er. The incident made a noise, and, in spite
of ridicule, the "outlandish, new fashioned
notion" began to "take mightily" with the
extensively bedrizzled people of England, and
as the new machine was found to be as effec
tive in protecting the person against the rays
of the summer's sun, as against the falling
rain, the learned condescended to borrow a
name for it from the Latin dimunitivc form of
'umbra' a shade "umbrella" a little shade.
Poor Jonas Hanway's innovation, so unpopu
lar at first, merely shows what disadvantage it
is to a man to be a few years in advance of
the age.
Focxd his Ceowd. A young man, clad in
homespun, was standing in Court street a few
days since, devouring a doughnut, when he
was accosted by a half dozen genteel dressed
city idlers, with
"Jest come down V
"Yeas, guess I have ; great place this, ain't
it yeou J" said the countryman.
" 'Tis so bub, how's your marm 7" asked the
city buck, bent on sport with "greeny."
"Waal, she's putty well ; she sent me down
here on business."
"She did 7 AVhat kind of business are you
on 7"
"Why, she wanted me to come deown to
Bostin, and look reonnd and find half a dozen
of tho biggest fules in Bostin, and bring 'em
np to the country to edicate 'em, and I rether
gness I've got my eye on 'em ncow," said the
6tranger, taking in tho whole crowd at a
glance.
The next moment he had the edgestone to
hiniself,where be quietly finished his doughnut
The editor of one of our exchanges has
grown melancbolly, and took to writing poetry.
Here is a verse from his pen, addressed to a
young lady whom he fell in love with, but who
rejected him on account of his poverty :
"Now if I could your hand diskiver,
I vow I'd swim the Maumec river,
And to win so fresh a bud,
I'd wade up to my neck in mud."
When Mrs. Porter was about to marry Dr.
Johnson, she told him, with the greatest frank
ness, that she had once an uncle who was
banged. The doctor, .with equal candor and
ottrtesy, replied that was perfectly immaterial
to hun.iorthongh he had no uncle hanged, yet

"You see, grandma, we perforate an aper
