Braham took oil his iat and flung it on

“ Wna.’.s up?’’
“Why, I’ve lost a diamond stud out of

he has been noted for his sav.t g and

From the Ve r York Star.
I heard yesterday from a Philadelphian a
g r Ist ry, often told by tne late R ar—
A mdrai E nmous, of his experie ce in tue
dis.ri uti "i of patronage in the navy
yards. While Geo ge M. Robe on was
Sec etarv pf the N.iv . , the a Imiral, who
was then a commodore, was comma ida it
of the Pniiadelpuia avv yard. Justji it
to an election in that city, tne sec retary
ordered the employment in t ie yard of a
much larger nu nber of men tan were
ueeded for the wo kii prog ess. One sfter
oi o i the co umod ire donned his c t zea’s
dress ad started for a bank ti t ans-ct
so ne business. Near th* e tra c• to the
yarn he found ab > t 3jo men s aiding
around id e. Surprised at 1 1- spec-acie, he
aidreszsed them ia; e shar ly:
"VV a -.re you men anding h.*:e?”
An ab) - >odi and y uug ma . stepped for
ward ad answered p omptlys
“ U’e’re doing n thing.”
“Ho v di l yo i ge in hem?”
The young man point and to the main en
t. ace and repii
“'Ve aine m through that gate.”
“Tut’s very ot a ige,” the commodore
continued, “rhere’s a s rgeant of marine
posted there, w.tu >rd rs t • let nobxly pass
.except officers and men employed in the
yard ”
“U! we’re empi yedliere,” the voungman
said.
“Then why aro you idle during working
hours?” tue c unm. and ire a knl.
Not at ad disconcerted by the cimroo
d > >’s manner, c e yo mg ma - answered:
“ Wi.-’ro n ,t employed to work; we’re hired
to v -te.”
The commodore was unable t > contain
hiu.self longer.
Bt. aig iteuiug hi mself up, he s dd:
“You meu probably don’t know who I
am.”
And the young man quic ,ly made an
s ' er:
“No, wo don’t: who a e you, anvhow?”
“I am Comm >d ro E uinoas, coiuinand
aut of tnis ya d.”
At tnis tue young man laughed, and,
dra v ng neare t > the com mod i e. sad:
“Old man, you’ve got a good thing; keep
it.”
The commodore turne 1 his head that the
smile on hi - face mig.it not be seen, aid
weut. to his bank.
