4 Comedian in 0uandary

Mr. Logan and bis talented daughter, Miss
Eliza, are rnralizing at Niagara Falls, and the
following laughable incident was rslatedto US
yesterday. BY friend just returned from the
great cataract
Miss Logan was to commence short en-
gagement at the Buffalo theatre on the 5th
inst, and herself and father having few days
to spare, resolved to spend them at Niagara,
leaving the principal partof their baggage at
Buffalo They selected the Clifton House on
the Canada side, for their sojourn and the 9TH
er morning a negro boy, who announced hiEl-
self as the washerwoman, entered Logan's
room before he rose, and said he had been
sent for sthe washing" "fake them, said
Logan, scarce awake. The boy did take them. Z
and departed The gong sounded, and the
Comedian rose to prepare for breakfast =
Now. cheerful. happy joyial man is Logan
His health was exuberant-the pleasant sound
of the 9Horse Shoe Eallg was greeting bis
ears with its fnatin hymn, and he whistied an
Italian air, as he proceeded with his s0Ilet--
Suddenly however, he became aware that an
essential article Of his costume was missing
He searched the room earelessly at frst, but
( his uneasiness grew painful when he discov-
cred that the negro had taken away bis pant
aloons with the rest of his clothes and he
had broughtno other garment Of eslike kind
with him Logan is not, We believe. nefT-
ous man, but It was said the manner IN which
he tugged at his bellrope, proved him to bea
man of nerve.

Here, Shears, the genaemanly landlord, en-
tered. Shears, can you lend me pair Of
your pantaloons 2
Certainly, said the polite host, smiling at
the absurdity of the request, as he is alighter
man than Foote, of the Senate, and Logan a
larger man than any in that dignifed BODY

are at your service.
But can none of your boarders ?I saw

By this time, the commedian bad got on his
