awciitttu uuuux lUi uie port OIDublin.There are a. thousand anecdotes told of Vv im,ard, of the City Hotel, but we can add another that has never appeared in type :—A. Hoosher from Indiana, walked into the hotel one day, and stepping up to the bar, called for a glass of brandy and water. Willard, with, his customary suavity, immediately handed him the decanter and a tumbler, and the gentleman helped-himself. He filled the tumbler nearly full of “strong water” with but a small sprinkle of the Manhattan, and emptied the. whole at a draught. Willard looked aghast.. The Hoosher forked up his shilling, and was. astonished when Willard returned him a sixpence and three cents change.“Holloo, Stranger! You don’t ‘go to. pretend to say, they only charge three cents a glass Jar liquor, at the City Hotel T “No,” answered Willard; 4‘we retail it at a shilling a glass, but when we sell it at wholesale we make a discount!”The Hoosher wilted like a baked apple, and evaporated in a cold sweat.—Spint of the Times.' .
