bold 'em tighter, kase they like h--The
more the gals caper the tighter they wish TO
be squeezed. As tolayin' their heads on
the tellers' that's common in this city
They expect to he married some OF these
days, and they want to be accustomed TO 1t
so they won't be blushin' and turning pale

merchant, al was tuck in that" &" | tell you
though it is the first time ever seed the like

Congo dance, bu: tell you this red war
waltz knocks the hat-cro%n out Of every

Artur had got out of the way and every
thing commenced goin' on again, the music
got faster aud faster-Oh, ii was as fast and
furious as Northwestern! The gals rared
again. the felIers hugged tighter, and the
music makers putfed out a BLOWN. Then
the gals and feIlcrs spunround like so many
tops run mad. The teIirrs leaned back and
the gals leaned to EN-; the gals fine frocks
sailed out and popped in The air like 81 eets
on cloze-line Of windy day, and the fel-
ltrj coat tails stood out SO strait that an egg
would not have rolled off; their faces were
as fixed and serious as a sarment. Around
they went-t makes me so dizzy TO think oi
it. Pop went the coat tails, crash went the
music. aud pit(y-patty, rump dumble, de
thump went The feet OF all. By and by, as
beautiful a. craft as you ever seed in, the
shape ola woman, laying close upon a bean
pole lookln' teller, came sailln' al The rate oi
fifteen knots an hour down our way. whilst a
fat dumpy woman and hqma-shouldered
beef-eatln' sort tofa feller, at the same speed
went up the other l seed there was 10 be
some bumpiu, and naturally trembIed foI
the consequences. Sure enough cawhollop

haint occurred before nor since old father
Noah unIoaded his great Ark. There leg;
and arms, white kids and pennellas. paten
leather and satin CATERS, shoe strings anu
garters, neck ribbons and guard chains, false
curs and whiskers, womenis. bustles, anc
pocket -handkel chiefs, all in pile, the gal,
kickin and squealiD. and the felers gruntln
and apologizIn. f..-r
"Oh, Lordyg" says for I was consider
abld frustrated at the siyht--"stop that mu
sic, blow out the lights, or all hands shu
their eyes till these wimmin folks get unmix
ed!' At this, such laugh you never heard
"Why, Col. Jonsing," says merchant
'that is nothn, it frequently happens, ant
is one of the advantages of the red war waltz
If the gals aint learned how to mix with th'
world, how can they ever get along?"
II would rather have 'ema little mixed,
says I,"but that is too much OF good thing
However, let us leave Tor seed enough o
the Sorry in that pile Just now to satisfy m
for week." and at that we bid 'em goo,
night and left, promisin' % so to thenex
one and take few lessons IN the commo
Poper and Shoutish dance. How cam
out, maybe may tell you in anothe: letter
