Mone ?ary Item.

A few nights ago a policeman halted a suspicious-looking colored man who had a trunk on his shoulder. “Where are you going with that trunk ?” asked the minion of the law. “De family I has been boarding wid has been axing for money, and as dev was done gone out ter night I tuck advantage of de opportunity ter git inter some family what has some consideration for de panicky condition ob de money market,” was the reply. Says the Chief of Police of Cincinnati; “We have kept pretty good track of our looal crook*., and I don’t remember a case where a man has gone to prison for a crime, and served out his time, but we had him up again in a year or two, or he was "caught redhanded somewhere else. I’d as soon think of trying to reform old Satan himself as a professional crook,” ‘‘Get there, Eli," is a good motto, but stick there, Eli, is a better one: Many dogs have a larger mouth than the bull-dog, but the bull-dog generally carries away his mouthful.
