M. and his friend Mr.. L., of the south, standing
the forward part Of the boat enjoying the beauti
full scenery, when the Captain sent his boy down
from the wheel hoasc to them, with this polite mes
sage: "Tell those two feers to send up their fare,
and don't keep me waiting" Down went the boy, and
delivered the message. Mr. l.. smiled and SAID,

" No he doesn't"
"Ask the Captain if he will be so kind as to step
down here and I'll pay him; but wish TO be put

Great praise is also due to Mr.. Plumer and friend,
the two door keepers Of the National who were
manly instrumental IN quelling the mpudense ofthe
hands of the boat and In restoring peace TO all par
