A newsboy who couldn't change a ten-cent piece a year ago, was recently heard re-1 marking, "William Scott, if you ever corrugate your brow at me in that way again, I shall temporarily deposit my papers on tho pave? ment, and cause the blood to coa? gulate under your left optic. Hear me, "William?" It turns out that Ben. Butler's efforts to secure the passage of the Oivil Bights Bill were of the ' most selfish description. He believed that under the provisions of that bill, .whenever denied admission to a hotel dining-room on account of the silverware, he could spread his character over his face, thus ren? dering it blacker .than the ace of spades, and go in as a negro.
