ant ltrotkers-ln-Etnck.
From the Athens Banner.
Y esterday afternoon a negro walked into
A. G. Elder’s store, and floating aloft what
appeared to be a fifty-dollar bill, requested
Major Burbank to kindly give him change
therefor.
The negro was not alone. *
Behind him there had filed, in duck and
drake fashion, four’ other darkies, who
stood with jaws distended some little dis
tance from their leader whilst negotiations
were pending between tho latter and the
accommodating cashier.
Of course Major Burbank said he was
willing to give the required change. He
accordingly took the bill for the purpose
of doing so; but in less time titan it takes
to tell the story, ho returned it to the
astonished darkey with a sinister smile, a
shake of the head and a'remark that
sounded something like: “Don’t you wish :
you might get it?”
What caused the Major to act thus
strange! v?
The bill was a Confederate one, and
when he informed its astonished owner of
the fact that it “represented nothing in
God’s world below,” great was the conster
nation among the five Ethiopians inter
ested in this worthless memento of a re
gretted past.
Their embarrassment was intense. They
snorted, snuffled, sighed, swore and
shouted, and hied them headlong from the
store.
What was the matter?
They were all railroad hands and pos
sessors of orders up* n the company. Be
ing in seed of —oncy forthwith they had
discounted said orders to some accommo-

Flanagan, of Texas, one of Conkling’s

his immortal conundrum, “What are we
here.for?” The Senator tried to look calm
and serene, but the absurdity of tbc thing
struck him, and his face fairly beamed.
Just then lie happened to look toward Mr.
Arthur, who was sitting near. Their eyes
met and they broke out into loud and hi
larious lauehter, although the joke was
clearly on them and in a degree injurious
to their side. Mr. Garfield was a delegate
and enjoyed the incident immensely, but

Senator Brown’s Chivalry.
From the New York Tribune.
It is one of the misfortunes of the rich
Senators to be constantly besieged by ap
plicants for small loans. Among the most
wealthy men of the Senate is Brown, of
Georgia, whose patriarchal beard and air
of solemnity make him a particular target
for the impecunious. The way in which
he repelled oqe of the applicants on his
generosity is related something like this:
Across the hotel tablt from the Senator
sat a sad-ej ed woman boarder who had
once been in good circumstances, but upon
whom adversity had frowned of late.
Senator, said the sad-eyed lady, you
Southerners are so chivalreus, so ready’ to
assist those in distress.
Yes, replied the Senator, hesitating, he
had heard that before from the sad eyed
people, and he thought he divined what
was coming.
Would yon, Senator, with your true
Southern chivalry, do me a favor and a
great kindness.
Yes, madam; what is—that is—it de
pends somewhat—
Think well, Senator, before you-promise,
for it’s a great kindness.
The tones of the same old song the Sen
ator had heaid many times before from
parties who wanted a §10 loan.
I am afraid, madam, that I will have to
—but what is it you w sh, anyway?
That you pass the catsup—you have
everything on your side.
