A pleasant correspondent of Boston
paper, writing from New Orleans, gives
the following incident:


You can buy nothing in New Orleans,
(Which is the case believe in most south
ern and western cities for less than a
;spicayune,p one-sixteenth of dollar
Coppers are hardly known, and "nine
pcnces, Boston currency,--pass indis-
criminately for ''bits" of one eighth Of a
dollar. was amused at q little incident
which saw on board one of the western
boats.


A man from the north tried to pass ten
coppers upon Sucker native Of H.
linois, for dime.


"What be they" inquired the Sucker,
turning over the coppcrs in unieigned ig-
norance.


II calculate they re cents, replied the
northerner--acan't you read?"


81 reckon .not," said the other; ssand
what's more old hoss, allow | don't want
to. What is cents, mister''


81 VOW to judges said the northerner,
a}ou are worse than the heathcn! Cents
is money, sartin! Ten Of them are worth
one dime. Don't you see it says, Il. Plu-
fibms Unum'-that's the Latin for Hail
Columbia and here it's inscribed, one
cent" et...
ssLook here, stranger" responded the
Sucker, putting the thumb Of his right
hand into his ear, and inclining his fingers
forward, to indicate that he considered the
other jackass; "you may run that saw on
'Hoosier, or a Wolverine but I'm dod
rotted If you Yankee me with the con-
tusive stuff" a8


And he marched off to the social hall, to
induldge in drink of corn whiskey, in
compliment 10 his own sagacity.
