Having come to a good understanding about breakfast, bills of fare, and things in general at the Astor, said Mr. Philkins, I told the clerk I wanted to see Broadway.l and asked him to tell me where I should go to look for it. 'Right in front of the Hotel,' says he, 'Why,' says I, 'you don't mean to say that that narrow street out there in front of the house is Broadway, do you I' 1 do,' says he. 'Well,' says I, 'then I suppose tt is. and all I have to say is, I'm disappointed. I expected to find Broadway a wide street, which it would take a spy-glass to look I across; but this is nothing ; I've seen wi der streets than these in Chicago.' The clerk said he was sorry Broadway did not suit me, and hoped I wouldn't let my opinion get out, as it tnight make the inhabitants feel bad. He said if I would keep still, he'd speak to the Mayor on the subject, at the very first opportunity. I promised secresy, shook hands with him, and set out to see what could be seen. As I went down the front steps inside, I met a gentleman, and bowed to him, as we always do to strangers where Ilive ; but he took no notice of me at all. Thinks I, you're an ill-bred fellow, anyhow, with all your clothes. At tha foot of the stairs I met another man and bowed to him. He gave me a saucy stare and passed on.— Well, gays Ito myself, if that is the game here in New York, I can play at it with the beat of you ; and 1 resolved not to bow to soother soul, unless I was bowed to j first. 7 50 6 00 3 22 22 00 52 00 2 00 43 50 3 00 2 00 I sauntered along down Broadway, look- ing at the signs and shop windows, when suddenly a chap driving an omnibus beck. oned to mc. Hello, thinks I, here's an old acquaintance, but on looking at him closely, I didn't recognize him. He kept \ motioning to me, however. and looking at me for a long time. I hadn't gone a rod ; before another chap motioned to the ; and then another, who was driving down the street, beckoned to me too. 1 thought some of them must know me, and so I want up to one to see what it meant. As i he saw me coming, he pulled up his horses and says!, 'Well, neighbor, how are you ? Where have we seen each other before ?' 'Ride up says lie. 'How 1' says 1. 'Elide up ?' says he ; 'right away, up Broadway.' 'No,' says 1, don't want to ride up Broad way , I'm going way.' What did you stop the 'bus for, then,' said he. didn't stop it; you stopped it yourself, I replied ; and what's more, you stopped Ime too. You beckoned to me, and I tho't you knew me, or wanted to say something.' You're a precious green one,' said he; and all the folks inside the omnibus laugh ed as he drove off. I kept on down the street till I came to a fireplug, on which 1 set down to rest and ; look around. I'he people came along up in such crowds front the church with a tall steeple (Trinity) that I thought perhaps they had just had a morning meeting there, and that the people were going home to breakfast; so I thought I'd wait till they got past. But they kept corning thicker and thicker; is thinks I, they have a re vival down at the church, and I'll just go down and see how they are getting along. and give them some real Kentucky revival hymns on thu molar hallelujah order. So I went along down. Before I got t ) the church, I saw a chap standing on tho sidewalk with a stick on his shoulder, on the top of which was a big board ; on this board was written, in big black letters— $lOB7 97 ernA.Lits, mote. OF MOCK AUCTIONS! Thinks I, what is a Mock Auction ? This is something now ; I must look into it; and in my curiosity to penetrate into the mysteries of a Mock Auction, I forgot the revival at the big church. I walked up to the door before which the chap with the big board was standing, and looked in. A young man was selling all sorts of valuable articles. Right next another man was selling things too; and it occurred to me that he had got that chap with the big board to stand before the first man's door so as to injure his business This struck me as being real mean; my sympathies were touched ; my Kentucky grit began to ferment, and I determined to patronize the injured party; you know a Kentuckian always goes in for fair play, and no favors asked. While I stood thinking over the matter, the man iv ho was selling watches, (the .in jured party') happened to see me, and int tnediately bowed to me in it very polite VOL. XXIV. NO. 7. manner. That was the first bow I'd re ceived in New York, and it came over me with a most gratifying effect. Says Ito myself, I've found a gentleman at last who is no upstart, and who understands the us ages of polite society. I returned his bow and he then politely asked me to walk in, which I did. Just as I stopped in, he bid off a handsome gold watch for $l5 ! Bless my soul, thinks I, what a fool I was, not to have bid on that ! I might then have had a a nice gold watch to take home to my wife, and how proud she would have been ! So, says I, neighbor have you got nny more of them "Yes, sir, he answered ; , •here's a splen did gold watch and chain, left for sale by a young gentleman from Cuba, who is out of money, and must sell them at some price.—l hope gentlemen will bid liberally for the gentleman is very worthy and in great need." The folks began to bid. '!three dol lars," says one; •'five dollars," says anoth er.—Thinks 1, that's darned moan to take advantage of a poor fellow that way; so says 1, "eighteen dollars." I suppose that rather frightened the company, for after that no body else bid a cent, and the watch was knocked down to me. The man who sold it then went to the other end of the counter, telling me to pay the money to another man who was sitting at a desk with a big account book open be fore hint. I paid the money and theta went to the other end of the room for my watch. When the auctioneer handed it to me, it sit uok me that it didn't look like the one I had bid for, and on examining it closely; I saw it was nothing but copper: So says I— "See here, stranger; this watch is noth tug but copper, and I bought a gold watch." "I didn't warrant it gold," avid he. "Well, I don't care what you warran• tad it for; y ou sold it fore gold watch, and it isn't gold; so just give me back my money." have no authority to return money to any one, else I should be happy to accom modate you; you must speak to the cash ier, to whom you paid the money." I then asked the cashier for my money but he said he had no authority to return or pay out money, either. I aski d him who had authority, then, to give me back my money. He said no one in the estab. lishment had authority to pay out money under any circumstances. Said I, you all seen, reauy enough to take in money, and its odd enough none of you can pay it out. He replied, that according to the rules of all establishment any one connected with it could receive money, but no one could pay it out; and these rules, he said, st ere always strictly enforced. Well, said I, you're a darned pretty set; I never heard of such a system before, and I shan't stand it. The fact is, my Kentucky dander riz just about this time, and I determined to whip the rascal, if he did not give me bock my money; but, before I could get at hi a chap who said he was a policemen told me confidentially that if I made a distur bance, he should Lo obliged to take me to. the Tomle. This put a damper on my combativenesss, for I'd heard horrid stories about the Tombs, and wouldn't have gone there for a dozen watches. So I thought I'd coax hint to give me back my money, but he wouldn't listen to me at all. I looked at the watch. It was just a bout the meanest looking thing that ever ticked; and thinks I, shall I give such a thing to my wife? I couln't stand the thought. What! take a copper watch home an a present to my wife ? to tho mother of my children ! I just took the thing by the chain, and says I— "See here; do you suppose I'll take such a watch home to my wtfn ! No. sir. Now, if you don't give me buck my money I'll take it out on the sidewallc and dash it into a thousand pieces !" "Oh !' says he, "it was a lady's watch you wanted, was it? Why then didn't you say so before? We can sell you sp:endid married lady's watch—just the thing for y our wife, and I will give you a written guarar.tee of its genuineness; there will be no cheat about the watch." Well," I replied, "but what shall I do with the $lB I've fooled away on this cop per thing!" "Oh, that shall count on the other. I'll take the copper watoh back." Well, thinks I I'll go it; I'll save myslB any how, So I took hold of the one ho showed line and examined it carefully, While I was inspecting it I heard a gen tleman behind me say in a whisper to a friend, Isn't that a splendid watch ! its worth at least *150; 1 wish I had my purse with me, so I could buy it; I'd have is sure. Thinks I, that gentleman knows all about it, so there's no danger. I'll have it, and no cheat. We began to bid, and everybody scent ed to want the watch, for they all bid free ly. It ran up to *llB, and I got it. Now thinks I here's a present fit for a wife; won't she be proud 1 I handed over the copper watch and *lOO, and left. The next day I thought I'd ask a jewel or what rny watch was worth, and don't you believe that turned out to be a copper one; too ? I started for the Mock Auction store at once, but 1 couldn't find it, It was changed into a cigar store. 'I hat was what 1 got by not going to that revival meeting, es 1 ought to have done
