It has always been Mr. Blackmon's

Selling tho Queen n Tombstone.
Mr. Andrews came pretty near selling
tho qneen a sample of his marble—that
would have been a great thing for him.
Ho was telling mo all abont it the other
day.
"O. R. Johnson, the vice consul,” said
he, “got mo a card to tho qaeen’s draw
ing room in May, and 1 went to it at
tired in a court dress which 1 hired at a
shop in Bond street There woe an aw
ful crush, but 1 contrived to get pretty
near the bead of the procession by tip
ping a sixpence to the lord chancellor of
the privy chamber. 1 bowed and kissed
the qneen’s hand in great shape: told her
I had always admired and sympathized
with her—that 1 particularly revered
her for her devotion to tho memory of
the deported. My words seemed to touch
her deeply. She answered that it was
her determination to keep that memory
forever green. ‘In that case,’ said 1, ’lot
me give you a pointer—buy a fifty foot
slab of my verd-ontique marble!"’
“What did she say to that?" I asked.
“She didn't say anything,” replied Mr.
Andrews, “but a rude fat man in gilt
lace and a cocked hat told mo to keep
moving on aronnd to tho loft I’d have
closed a sale if it hadn't been for him.”

“Money Coes."
The old saying that “monoy goo
was illustrated recently. A customer
tendered a $20 bill. Tho tradesman had
it changed by a neighbor, who, being
in a harry, gave n pocket piece of $10 in
gold of tho issne of 1801, which he prized
highly and did not want to part with.
He went to the tradesman as soon ns ho
had given the valued coin, and tho lat
ter went out and bunted up tho custo
mer to whom ho had given it He had
bought some cigars at a neighboring
store and hod given the gold piece in
payment
Upon going to the cigar store it was
found that tho proprietor had trans
ferred the coin to a saloon keeper near
by, and at that placo it was found that
the saloon keeper had used it in liquida
ting his brewery bill. The next (lay a
neighbor went to tho brewery and found
that tho cashier of that institution had
just parted with tho coveted piece of
money to a dissatisfied employe. The
individual was at hut located and the
coin recovered.—Chicago Times.

A certain Georgia editor, who is alec
a real estate agent, a building and loan
association director, on attorney at law,
clerk-of the town coonpil and pastor of
the village church, was recently asked
to marry a couple. He was in a great
hurry, and tho conplo surprised him iu
tho middle of a heavy editorial on the
tariff. “Time is money,” said he, with
out looking up from his work. “Do you
want her?” Tho man said yes. “And
do you want him?” The girl stammered
an affirmative. “Man and wife,” cried
tho oditor. “One dollar. Bring mo s
load of wood for it—one-third pine, bal
