eD.4 ~ GRRxT0wN, Sept ii !, 1851.
The day dawned with its usual splendor ;
myriads Of feathered -songsters filed the air
with their sweet melodies, the placid waters
In the Bay OF Bluefelds eTeundistufbed BY
a single ripple, and the little niggers set on
their launches, gnnning with pleasure and
waiting for sunrise. All nature, ~ hne, was
in a sweet repose, Suddenly the spell was
broken. The sound Of horn was heard from
the distant lills startling the quiet citizens
81 Bluefields from their slumbers. The sig
sai wa, answefed from every hill and riyulet
;r the vicinity. These sounds were followed
Sy The barking Of dogs, scret ching Of par
rots, and bleating of goats, and all the dis
cotdant sounds known on earth seemed min
pled together in sweet confusion. Tie mar
tial music approached nearerand nearer, and
increased in volume until / fancied that Pha-
roah had risen from his slumbers, and was
about TO enter Buefields in his flaming char
lot, to be presentat the royal marriage. In
afew moments, about three hundred half ma
he'd Indians made their appearance at the
main entrance that leads 10 the palace. The
Princess had arisen from her couch of tigers
skins. and was standing at the main gate of
the palace, barefooted and deyourng raw
The King soon made his appearance, and
addressed his subjects in the following elo.
ouent language: "Me big King. My sister
70 marry niger. "Me no like it. Niger
disgrace Indian. Cussed shame-I drown
myself7 His Majesty could say no more
Overcome with grief, he entered the palace,
threw himself upon pile Of dried hides, and
there relieved the anguish of his soul by Civ
ing vent 10 d flood Of tears. '"WohF said
his Majesty, "ef me, big King feel so much
bad cos my sister marry Niger how, common
Mexican feel when him dog die?"
The royal palace was tastefuliy decorated
with highly scented hides. Every prepara-
tion being made for the calculation, the .Prin-
cess entered the palace hall unattended, ex-
cept BY her pet goat Her beautiful black
hair, creased wifi possum fat hung in profu-
sion over hershoulders, and contrasted finely
with her splendid dress, whichwas made Of
coffee sack.s On the middle fuger of her
right hand she wore a, rich and costly tin,
ring, made from ,sardine box. The guests
were all assembled, but the happy lover had
not yet arrived, The. Princess became impa-
,tient and went TO seek him. She found him
playing at marbles, She accosted him thus:
"Jim, weddin all ready an you no cum p
Jim replied that che lad cum 10 the clusion
not to marry, cos if he did Victory wood'nt
Civ her no more penshun." The Princess
was terrified but lucky thought struck her.
"Jirn," said she, "biineby my buther die, then
you'll, be King" The words bad their effect.
Jim threw his arms around the neck Of the
Princess their lips met; the sound that fol-
lowed was like that heard pulling bull out
of the mire. They proceeded to the palace.
The King had thrown of his India rubber
crown, left, til. throne, (Which was whis-
key barrel, and yamosed.
The ceremony being over, a bull was led
forth tosbe slaughtered The poor creature
was supported on each side by two stout men
whilst a thirdgave the fatal blow. The an
imal yielded up his life like good bull, and
as all gentlemanly bulls oughtto do, whose
carcasses are. to be deyourcd on Like occa-
sions.
The throne was now tapped; the whiskey
flowed freely, and the guests became merry
Theft came 10 an end; the last drop of
whiskey was drained from the throne a tre-
mendous blast was blown from the rams
horns OF all the Mexicans Of the Kings house,
hold, and the grand party broke up. Jim is
luxuriating at Bluefields, waiting for the
King to die. He says.'sitis his contention to
visit the 'NitedStates as soon as de exquinom7
ic ! storm be ober.".
