(Pittsburg Paper.) During an excursion from this city to Niagara Falls, and while at Cleveland, an incident occurred that will never beforgotten by those who heard it. The Kennard house at that city wascrowded with guests, when an eccentric and witty druggist of Smithfield street appeared late at night at the hotel ottice and de:nanded a bed. The clerk replied tnat there were only two vacant beds man, and the other a room whereingwas a Pittsburg evening mewspaper man, who were with the excursion, “To tell the truth, they are both pretty drunk—so you may take your choice as to which room you will sleep in.” ; Re The druggist said that on general principles he would take his chances . with the evening newspaper journalist, as they excelled the morning men in move ways than one, and he ‘would doubtless be so drunk that he would he dormantly quietly all night. He went to bed and was soon sound asleep. The journalist, however, awakened about 12 o'clock, and thinking it a long time between drinks, dressed himself, uinconsciously in the druggist’s clothes, and sailed out to make a night of it. Every and anon he muttered, as he treated all present: 2 “Funniest thing I ever heard of. When I wént to bed last night I only had twenty-five eentato my name, and now I’ve got over a hundred dollars, (showing a corpulent roll of bills,) and I'm bound to spend every cent of it before moruing.” He did. Pay at ©nec,. (Grocers Criterion. } ‘Short reckonings make long friendships,” says the old adage; so if you employ workers of any sori, pay them promptly. There is often much unnecessary dissatisfaction is the minds’of hired laborers becalise their pages are not promptly paid. It is unnecessary, because it could be easily prevented. Sometimes simple forgetfulness, sometimes not altogether-excusable neglect, sometimes great pressure of pther business sometimes the charms of pleasure or the attraction of godd~company— causes delay in prying wages.

(Pittsburg Paper.) During an excursion from this city to Niagara Falls, and while at Cleveland, an incident occurred that will never beforgotten by those who heard it. The Kennard house at that city wascrowded with guests, when an eccentric and witty druggist of Smithfield street appeared late at night at the hotel ottice and de:nanded a bed. The clerk replied tnat there were only two vacant beds man, and the other a room whereingwas a Pittsburg evening mewspaper man, who were with the excursion, “To tell the truth, they are both pretty drunk—so you may take your choice as to which room you will sleep in.” ; Re The druggist said that on general principles he would take his chances . with the evening newspaper journalist, as they excelled the morning men in move ways than one, and he ‘would doubtless be so drunk that he would he dormantly quietly all night. He went to bed and was soon sound asleep. The journalist, however, awakened about 12 o'clock, and thinking it a long time between drinks, dressed himself, uinconsciously in the druggist’s clothes, and sailed out to make a night of it. Every and anon he muttered, as he treated all present: 2 “Funniest thing I ever heard of. When I wént to bed last night I only had twenty-five eentato my name, and now I’ve got over a hundred dollars, (showing a corpulent roll of bills,) and I'm bound to spend every cent of it before moruing.” He did.
