" THE PIPPINS OF THE JOHN REAL DEMOCRACY, (MESSRS. MORRISSEY, O'BRIEN, AND FOX,) GETTING THEIR LAST SQUEEZE FROM GOVERNOR HOFFMAN.

[Illustration: ORPHEUS GREELEY, CHARMING WITH THE STRAINS OF THE REPUBLICAN LYRE THE CERBERUS, (O'BRIEN, MORRISSEY, AND FOX,)

Among the newly patented inventions I noticed "The JOHN MORRISSEY Smasher," "The Swamp Angel Sheller," and a lovely piece of mechanism called "The Just One Mower.

The following gentlemen also sent horses: Messrs. J.S. Davis, 2; F. DuBoulay, 1; C. von Bibra, 1; H. Gray, 1; M. Morrissey, 1; and J. Drummond, 12 sheep.

My name's Miss MorrisseyElla Morrissey.

"What do people mean when they say they love Paris?" Ella Morrissey stared.

" That pitying look deepened in Miss Morrissey's eyes.

" Miss Morrissey checked her.

And the girls!" Ella Morrissey raised a plump, protesting palm.

Miss Morrissey reddened a little.

" With a little impulsive gesture Ella Morrissey laid one hand on the shoulder of her new acquaintance.

Miss Morrissey introduced them, buyer fashionnames, business connection, and firms.

Sophy Gold was moving toward the lift, the twinkling-eyed Miss Morrissey with her.

" Miss Morrissey was busy with hooks and eyes and strings.

" Sophy Gold turned her face from the window toward Miss Morrissey.

Miss Morrissey laughed her fat, comfortable chuckle.

Miss Morrissey smiled.

Ella Morrissey presented her new friend to the three, giving the department each represented as one would mention a title or order.

" Sophy, on her way to her room, hesitated, turned, then ran up the stairs to the next floor and knocked gently at Miss Morrissey's door.

"I've been working this whole mortal evening," went on Ella Morrissey, holding up a pencil sketch and squinting at it disapprovingly over her working spectacles, "and I'm so tired that one eye's shut and the other's running on first.

"Do you know, I love Paris!" Ella Morrissey laid down her pencil sketch and turned slowly.

" Ella Morrissey's bright twinkle softened to a glow.

"Welcome to our city!" said Miss Ella Morrissey.
