V ?1 tell you, yon cab humbug anybody. I am not unlike the rest of tbe world. I would bite at my own iriek'e if I was in the crowd. “While I was at Brunswick I took revenge on the town by playing what we term the ‘give-away racket.’ It’i u mighty fine thiog to play, but a very langerons one in some localities. I bail been using a big umbrella, Lrge enough to cover fifty people, when one uight on the street a crowd of sailors, led on by some of the town boys, threw rotten eggs at the um brella and broke up the crowd. Then I resolved op the ‘give-away racket.’ A fellow has to be mighty careful about working it, or he will get caught, It epn only be played onoe in a town. \i ‘The way to do it ia this: Get a lot of flue gold rings, which coBtabout $1 a dozen, and propose to be advertising some big gold concern in New York. I called mine the ‘brazed gblii of Ban* Francisco,’ stating that I wonld soon sbo«f tV» crowd ktyoji or two, and soon some of them got interested.— First, I j made * speech in which ,4 stated my business, them I oommeifc- e.l offering the rings at any price from iwlo t ents up. telling them that they conlil not lie bought for less than $4 each at any jeweler's. I lst£dt about twenty rings kt two cents, and then .naked everybody who had bought one h,‘,l'd it up.' Distantly everything . >V as iti tlie air. ‘Now,’ said I, address ing goods for my bouse, and Imd plenty more things to give away.— Next I took up adme of my handsome diamond studs, which I explained were Lake George diamonds, equal to any on forth, etc.', and that I was go ing to sell them from 26 cents up, the more one paid the better it would he,- of course for him. Twenty studs were soon out, and the some speech made. Then I made the crowd hold up the diamonds, and each man who hod bought got fifty cents back. ‘‘The thing began to be very inter esting, and the crowd numbered 300 or 400. Then I got out some beauti ful gold-plated s'eeve-buttons, which I explained coilld not lie bought for less than $12. These I proposed to sell for fifty cents each, giving to nl^ who bought a dollar additional as be fore, each. time, doubling tbe money gift. The buttons soon went off, and the-other tbiugs, and I was ready for the final ‘bite’ at ’the^crowd. The 20 pairs of sleeve buttons.had been sold fur 60 cents each, and J bad given back twenty silver dollars. ‘That fel low is a fool,’ I heard all about me, but I replied to this by saying that last week, in Macon, I had given away $1,600, and that I was ready to do it again. •. •• -.i <> a is “The orowd was perfectly crazy to see what came next. It was watch chaiqs. Tbe chains I was to Soil at any price from $2.60 to anything above that anyone wanted to give, I telling them the while that the more they paid’ the better.it would be for them. I hinted that the wacbes would come next, and this let them off like a lot of madmen. The v trick now was to sell as many ohains as possible at $2.65. I had an awfnl lot of chains, and I sent them out right, and left— Tbe dollars came rushing blindly at me, and I raked them in like chaff.— Tbeu I got out of chains. 'Previously I had prepared two big red silk handkerchiefs, exactly alike, and os soon as the chains were all sold I took the money, and, in pres ence, tied it all up together, and, after making a speech, proposed to throw the bundle into the crowd for the best man to take. While talking I pur posely dropped tbe bundle into my box by my side, in whiob was the oth er handkerchief. In this was $10 io silver * and some paper to make it stand out like tbe one I bad dropped All this bad lieen arranged before hand, of coarse. With a whoop I swung tbe bag around my bead, after stooping to piek it up where I first dropped if, end up it went into the air. Gije^ heavens, yon should have seen the mobT -1 ne’er saw anything like it. They) fodght like tigers over tbe handkerchief, while I took ocCtk u siou vo leave the spot. I bad also ar ranged to briog things to a crisis about the time the Albany train left; so I was driven at once to the depot. 1 was jusi $280 ahead. But I got very weak in the knees white waiting at, the depot. I was a little too soon, and about a dozeu young men ran up; raising the very mischief of a noise, which I thought was for me, aiuf A proved to be ti ue. They saw ine and came around me,-lnnRfrtngxTtd knock ing each other likfi i'fe'rtsiy' iadti. 1 ( I didn’t know: what on earth was tbe matter, until they finally told me that it was the best joke that hnd ever been played on Brnuswick, and, al though they had been victimized, tliey wauled to assure me it was all right. , “I had Hold the chains to nearly all the host men in Brunswick, some of it down for a fact that any average American crowd can be humbugged tbe same way every day in tbe year.” .■ -— ! i Almost Anybody dan bo Poor.

An exohange, in order to eucourage every young man struggling under discouragement and poverty, recites the historical facts that President John Adams, Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, Millard Fillmore, James Bu chanan, Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson were all offsprings of poor; humble parents. Tbe list is very good as far ns it goes, but it enu be extended almost indefinitely. Captain Kirld, whose reputation as a pirate is second to none, was a poor boy. His parents were in-bnrable cir- mmstances that he was obliged to: steal from perfect strangers the mon-' oy with which to buy dime novels, and yet, see what he accomplished. Jesse Jsipee, tvho might be Govern or of Missouri bdt for bis ^untimely decease, was a poor boy. He was so poor that be bad to borrow the pistol with which I to 1 shoot au obnoxious school teaoher-who gave him impu dence. ,\uir i : ’> Dorsey had; a hard 1 struggle -in life, but by perseverance; and having re duced plunder to a system, be has ac-> quired so much. Wealth'that as a Star Router be ean ret tbe United States at defiance. Jay Gould used to shine bis owU boots, but now he takes tbe shine off nil tbe other millionaires. ’ 1 Oliver Cromwell bad to borrow bid brother’s pants when he, Oliver, went to balle and parties. We might go on and cite any num ber of men who 4ave climbed tbe lad* der of fame whose pants needed re pairs when they began to climb at the lowest rounds of tbe ladder. There is no trouble in being poor. Almost anybody can be poor, partioalarly if they have some assistance from their parents in early Ufa Postmaster-General Howe propos es to furnish the people stamped en velopes instead of postage stamps for three cents, on tbe ground that tbe increased certainty that mail matter will be stamped will reduce tbe ex pense of tbe dead letter office nearly enough to pay for the envelopes.— That is not a bad idea, if the fact of saving is well established. Moreover that wonld tend to do away with tbe champion idiocy of the department in its present rule that an unstamped letter must be held for postage while tbe poetmsetoy'Oonsalts tbe addressed by postal card and advises him to re mit In tl|e mean tiiae tbe corres pondence ie deliyed and probably rendered fruitless by this utterly fool ish display of red tape.
