A Wniskey Ccktail and a vniii
Julep.
A young fellow came in yesterday
and wanted to see Swindell. On find
ing this individual, he iu a very con
lid on ti. i,l way told Swindell he had
heard a curbstone lawyer expressing
himself in abusive and unchaste lan
guage about Swindell's business.
Having finished our day's work and
having nothing better to do, we asked
this suaviuger or news to repeat what
he had heard, which was as follows:
Swindell is no good; he won't trust
out goods, and if one wants goods
Aver so much he must wait till he has
money to get iheui from Swindell's,
or he must get them somewhere else,
and pay much more money, for them
Then Swindell don't allow us fellows
to loaf around his store and laugh
and tell funny stories. He don't en
courage loatlug at all, which would
make his store popular. Then he
ruins t e business for all the other
merchants by selling goods so cheap
ly as to keep our old friends from
making money. Why, this fellow
Swindell is absorbing all th trade.
We all thought when tie aid not move
to Baltimore, as advertised, that he
was ruined, but that has given new
life to his business, and apparently
fiis trade is double wha it was be
fore, &o.,&c. When he finished Swin
JeH asked if this knight of the curb
atone was drunk. No, said he, but
ne was spitting cotton. Well, said
Swindeil, this fellow must continue
to talk. Take this silver dollar, find
aim take him to a saloon and give
aim a whiskey cocktail and a mint
juiep Set him lo talking again about
.Swindell.
