Then a Fillmore man wanted to take a vote on the Presidential question; so he asked all those in favor of Fillmore to come up and drink, and the millionaires all came up—then Buchanan man requceted all who wore going to vote for Buchanan to come up and take a horn, and the millionaires again camo up— then Fillmore man claimed it, and the other | SIBERIAN AND RUSSIA SQUIRREL, | wan claimed it—then they hit—Buchanan | CON ce Ln x went down before a rap from a chair, but not | aaa ERMINE; bofore he had floored Filimore with a decan- ter—disinterested millionsires dressed chiefly in a black eye and a socond-band coat, aux- | ivus to preserve the pe took the decanter from Buchanan man and drank the contents | | before the bar-tender caught him at it—then the bar-keeper got excited, jumped over the bar and pitched into his wealthy customers — he was perfectly sober, and consequently had atremendous advantage over the others—so be devoted himself fur afew minutes with | reat energy and singlcncss of purpose to an individual, who, a little while before, had ex pressed a willingness to stake half a million on Pennsylvania, but who was now surrepti- tiously filling his pockets with codfish and crackers, and hustled £im out—then he took acixty thousand dollar chap by tho nape of the neck and pitched him int a corner, then be gave his attention toa seventy thousand fellow and a poverty-stricken rascal who hadn't offered tu bet more than fifteen thou- sand on Buchanan, which two were having a quiet fight all alone. and kicked them into the gutter—then he went promiscuously and impartially at the restof the crowd witha elub, and dealt out two-Landed hickory ‘‘ jus- | tice’’ till all were subdued and satisied—ke came at mein a like affectionate manner, but I called for two drinks and showed bim the money, and he thought better of it. Thought there wasn’t much chance of winning my new clothes from these gentlemen, sol hurraked for Buchanan, threw a quarter to the ba keeper and took myself off while he was look- ing for it behind the barrels Inthe course of the day I found Brown, who waa well dressed and willing to take my bets—so I made the following wagers: A new hat that Pennsylvania would give twenty thousand Kepublican majority, a ne fifteen thousand majority, and a pair of pants, and balf a dozen shi thousand—then I got a bet of a pair of pante aud sn oyster supper on the general result in {ndiana—weut home and thought 1 had dove a good day’s work and made a suit of clothes quicker than I could in any other way—went tw bed satisfied with the world and dreamed about the cut and uality of my new coat. Next day the election came off—met Dam- phool, hed been beiting on Pennsylvania, too, that it would go for Fillmore So had all bis namesakes, in fact be informed we that all the Damphools had Let ou Pennsylvania andon Fillinore. Met Brown and told bim I'd take a six dollar hat, or, if he’d make it acash bet aud pay it then, I'd allow hima small discount—but Brown satd ‘ wait.” Told Brown he might as well go home and put on his old suit and give me the new one, as to wait till night, but Brown strangely preferred to wait—toid him to be careful meantime and not sit down in any dirty Lae with my panta- loons on, then 1 followed him slily for two hours, admiring my new clothes from a dis- tance Night came at last, and it was time for the returns to come in—went to the nowspaper of- fice and heard the results read. Fremont seemed all right—wished that 1 had ¢en hats bet, and clothes enough to last me ten years. Then the scale seemed to change, and in a little while didn’t care for more than half a dozen bats, and was glad on the whole that I hadn’t got a ten years’ stock of clothes at stake, as they might go out of fashion before Lcould wear them out. Then another tele- graph came in and I thought I could make three hats do—then another arrived, and 1 began to be rather glad that I hada’t bet my old clothes as well as my new ones—then the teleggaph said that Fremont wouldn’t have more than five thousand majority; thougit that this report must be wrong—went to the Times office, came news there; walked up to the Tribune shop, ditto; circulated down to the Herald office, same kind of news there, only worse, and a mighty sight more of it— trembled for a moment, then I thought of ‘“‘the mountains’’ with glee, and the *+ back counties’? with a joyful hope. News kept coming, same kind—zot a little scared—found the fellows I had bet with and tried to con- vince them that I had meant a suit of sum mer clothes, a straw hat and cowhide bouts Brown pulied down the corner of his eyo aad eaid, ‘No you don’t.”” Cruel Brown! Then another coun‘y came in and made the twenty thousand majority a sure failure, and so lost my hat for me, and I began to fear that I should have to relapse into my old clothes Then another county came in and took the coat from my back, then another and stripped ime of my pantaloons; then another yet, and despoiled me of my six new shirts And the jast dispatch of the night robbed me of my RiCH FUR TRIMMING, for Cloth and Velvet Cioaks; SWANSDOWN TRIMMING, ELEGANT SIBERIAN SQUIRREL ROBES, for Cloak Linings, or cut for Trimming; Ladies’ and Gevtiemen’s FUR GAUNFLETS; Gentlemen’s TRAVELING MUFFLERS, of Beaver, Utter, Nutria, and Seat Pur; CARRIAGE ROBES, of Bear, Fox, and Buffalo Skins.
