The New Orleans Picaynne tells the following
capital joke:


A FAIR BUSINESS TRANsAcTIoN.-The best
Joke that has occurred for twelve month has been
at our expense. 1t will be remembered, perhaps
that few weeks since, we gave notice to country
editors generally, that we required boot, as ihe
difference of eIchdnge between them and us was
so great that we could not afford to do Otherwise.
Since that notification, we have received numerous
remittances from our rustic brethren; but the
oldest specimen of currency that we have yet
seen, reached us yesterday through the post Of
flee. twas contained in large package, done up in
straw paper We burst open the envelope, and un-
rolled iii we came to the second-then there was
tbird-then a fourth--but the hardness of the
package convinced that it was not all paper, till
atlength, after taking off about dozen envelopes,
out came huge, old, worn out, run down, dirty,
mashed up boot containing newspaper, from the
office of one of our brethren in Mississippi, with
this note, "Please exchange-and give us credit
for the boot"


Well-the currency of Mississippi, as every
body knows, is long way below par-but we
had idea that it had got down to such low foot
ing. We have ocomplaint, however, to make-we
asked for boot, and we have got boot; and our
brother at Holley Springs shall have the Picayune,
in consideration of the boot.
