A squad of thera ang negro"miolodies in hilarious time and tuno, and one accomplished broker stopped forward and did a doubla shaft that would have been ore- ditable to a professional on the minstrel bounds. The boys thought the old darky was done for, but they changed their minds presently. After the daags was faished he deliberatoly arose, thrust his fingers into his vest pocket, and, drawing forth a niskal, tossed it to the davOÁT with a grin and sourity bow.
