BED BUes.-Speaking of bed bugs. 8
friend of ours who put up at the Kala,
mazoo house, tells the following strong
one:
"You see, 1 went to bed pretty alfred
used up, after hull day on the ol /
road before the plank was laid, caIkala-
tin on snooze. WAL, Just as the
shivers begun to ease off, kinder felt
sumthin' tryin' to pull off my shirt and
diggin' their feet into the small of my
back to get good hold. 1 wiggled and
twisted and daubled and puckered-all
no use--kep goin' it like all sin.-
Bimby got up and struck light to look
around spell-found peck of bed
bugs scattered aroun' and more droppin'
off my shirt and runnin' down my legs
every mint. Swept off place on the
floor, shook out quilt. lay down and
kvered up in it for nap. No use
mounted right on me, ike passel of
rats in a meal tub-dug a hole in the
kiver lid and crawled through and gave
me fits for tryin' to hide. Got up agin.
went down stairs and got the slush
bucket from the wagon. Brought it up
and made circle of tar on the floor
lay down on the floor on the inside, and
felt comfortable that time any how
Left the light burnin' and watched 'em.
See 'em get together and have camp
meetin' bout it, and then they went off
in squad, with an old grey headed he
one, az the top, right up the wall, out
on the ceiling till they got to the right
spot, and dropped lump into my face.
Fact, by thunder.
"Well I swept 'em up again and made
a circle of tar on the ceiling too.-
Thought l had 'em foul, that time; but
l swan to man, if they didn't pull straws
out of the bed, and build a regular
bridge over i'll"
Seeing an incredible expression on
our visage he clenched the story thus:
-isIts so. whether you believe it or
not, and some of 'em scaLked across on
stills. Bed bugs are envious critters and
no mistake. Especially the Kalamazoo
Grand River Eagle.

"Bsa SANDY -AGTx TIE WoELpr,--.
| Big Sandy, as It is called, sometimes
turns out some pretty queer customers
Up to snuff and hard to beat. Some
several days since, denizen of that To-
cality named Sim H, for the first
time in his life landed fiatboat at the
wharf in our sity, with his mind well
stored with The ipjunctions of The old
un' to beware of all tricks upon trasel-
ers. The hands had departed up town,
leaving the boat in charge of SIM, with
the understanding that he was not to
depart from it for any length Of time:
It was Just dusk when che boat tied
up, and by this time Il was quite dark;
and as Sim sat eyeing the lights from
the coffee-houses in Sausage Row, an
unconeuerable desire seized him to go
ashore and taste little of the -old
Bourbon" Up he went, and drank
first one glass, then another and an
other, until at last be began to feel
good deal excited, and groping his way
into the street, he gave vent to his feel
ings in a scream that would have done
honor to a catamount. Just at that mo-
ment large burly man, with his coat
collar turned up and star on his breast,
stepped up and informed him that he
must be quiet or go to the station-house.
That was a new feature to Sim. He
from Big Sandy, and not use his lungsl
Liquor was i'll, wit was out, and he
yelled again. The Charly nabbed him,
and proceeded on the way to the station
house. Somewhat sobered by his situa-
ton, he now interceded with the watch
man, represented that his boat was un-
protected, and besought a release
After promising to appear at the Police
Court in the morning, and leaving FIVE
dollars in the hands of the watchman
as pledge that he would keep his
promise, he was discharged, and re-
turned to his quarters. Arrived on
board, he sat down and began to 'ru-
inmate
"Two hours here and five dollars out.
Five dollars good money out. That'll
never do"
Sim raised to his feet, pulled his coat
collar about his ears, and started once
more, strolling around, yet always at no
great distance from the landing; he at
last encountered passenger on some
boat that was lying over until the next
day, who was staggering down the
wharf about five seas over, and charg-
ing him with being drunk, Sim began to
lug him away to the station-house. The
stranger was genteely dressed man,
and knowing the delay that his trial
would cause him, began to beg off. 1t
was no use, Sim must do his duty. He
then offered ten dollars for his release.
Sim scorned the idea. That would not
half pay his fine. But if the stranger
would place twenty dollars in his hands
and appear next morning at the Police
Court, he might go. They finally COM
promised on fifteen. The prisoner went
his way, and Sim started again for his
boat. When there he sat down and be-
gan to 'ruminate' again-"Two hours
here and five dollars out; three hours
here and fifteen dollars in-ten dollars
ahead. Big Sandy agin the world"

WAsHIre A LITTLE SwEARER's MOUTH.
The California Christian Advocate saws:
AN intelligent lady of our acquaint-
ance, whose little boy was beginning this
strange talk, anxious to express to her
child her horror of profanity, hit the
novel process of washing out his mouth
with soap suds every time he swore.
1t was an efectual cure. The boy un-
derstood his mothers sense of the cor
ruption of an oath. and the taste of suds,
which together produced the desired re-
suit.
'We can heartily commend the in
genuity of the mother. She is about as
famous for inventions, in our eyes, as
those steam gods, Watt and Fulton.

SCENE ON THE OHio.-Our boat stop
ped to take in wood. On the shore
among the crowd was a remarkably
stupid fellow, with his hands in his
pockets and his under lip hanging down.
A dandy ripe for scrape, tipped mods
and winks all around saying, now /

greenhorn'-He jumped ashore with a
drawn bowie knife, brandishing it in
the face of the greenhorn exclaiming
'I'll punish you, I've been looking for
you week The fellow stared stupid
ly at the assailant. He evidently had
not sense enough to be scared; but as
the bowie knife came near his face, one
of his huge fists suddenly vacated his
pocket and fell hard and heavy between
the dandy's eyes, and the poor fellow
was foundering in the Ohio. Greeny
jumped on board the boat put his hands
in his pockets, and looked around
May be- said he there's somebody
else that's been looking for me week.
