A Michigan Bed. Bug Story.

The editor of the Grand River Eagle has friend
who has been stopping, he alleges, at one of the
hotels at Kalamazoo. His story is pretty fairly
told and he possesses talent in the way of spinning
yarn that would do credit to one who has en-,
tertained his mess in the forecaste of whaler, or
relieved the tedium of a watch on deck:
You see went to bed pretty alfred used
up, after hull day On the road before the plank
was laid, calkalatin' on a good snooze WAL Just
as the shivers began to ease off | kinder felt
suthn tryin to pull off my shirt, and dggin' their
ieet INTO the small OF my back, to git good hold
Wiggled and twisted, doubled and puckered-all
to no use-kept going it like all sin. Bmbey got
up and struck light to look around a spell
found about peck OF bed-bugs scattered around,
and more dropping off my shirt and runnin' down
my leg every mint. Swept off place on the
Moor, shook out quilt, lay down and kivered up
Tor nap. No use--mounted right ON me like a
parcel OF rats on a meal tub--dug a hole in the
kiverlid and crawed through, and gave me fits for
tryn' TO hide. Got up again and went down stairs,
got siush bucket ftom the wagon, made a circle
of tar on the floor, lay down ON the inside and felt
comfortable that time anyhow. | left the ligh,
ournin', and watched EN- see 'em get together and
have a camp meetin' about it, and they went of
10 squad, with an old grey headed one on the top
right up the wall on to tho cciim', till they got &c
the light spot, then dropped right plumb into nv
face Fact, by thunder. WAL, swept 'em up
again, and made circle on the ceilin' too.
Thought had 'em foul this time; but swan to
man, if they didn't pull straws out of the bed and
build bridge over" Seeing an incredible expires

Mr. JaDsss Qaattle6aam aud 500, vistt Mem York
6sny Quatte6at1R Writes TO his uncle Josh
through tie american"
New YORK, Sept. 81, 1851
DEAR UNCLE JOSH Here we are in the city of
New York, Pap and /. The Governor has gone
TO sleep after his nights fatigue. On our first
arrival, Pap was taken in at the landing, by a
young gentleman, who picked up pocket book
at Pap's feet "Look here, old gentleman, cried
out smart looking young man, "You have dropped
your pocket book" Pap felt in his pocket and
found all right; but the nice young man offered
the porte Inonnaie for FIVE dollars The old one
nlboled then bit and looking over the bills found
them all counterfets. We took lodgings at the
St. Nicholas, and after breakfast took waik-but
as Pap said there was long procession passing,
we could just stop and see it, AT two O'clock, p.
d., procession was still going along. We had
good many invitations to ride in it, "Gong up
Broadway right away--get in, take ride--rght
away, cried out the accommodating gentlemen
who were driving But Pap and | wanted to see
the end OF the procession--so we took each seat
on either side of the ladies' entrance of the st.
Nicholas. At ten p. M, the procession still
passed. AT about eleven P. M, Pap and myself
lei asieep-and were fiually aroused by gentle
man dressed in handsome uniform--who told us
to mizzle. This reused the old man upland sure
enough it was mizzling right smart-and we at
once went to bed. Being tired we did not get up til
the next day at noon. We found the procession
still passing along, and was told by very clever
gentleman that If we went to the Battery, that we
could get around it. We both trotted off with
that intention. On our arrival there, we turned
the procession, and walked up the opposite side
Of Broadway, but, to our astonishment, found that
procession was going in the opposite way. The
gentlemanly drivers asked us to take seat. Par
thought it would DO very impolte for us to refuse
any longer; and we just stepped in and took q
comfortable seat. Now and then lady and gen
| teman would put their hand through hole, shake
| hands with the driver, and get out. We rod,
about three miles, and Pap thought it was tim.
| for us to shake hands and step out. We both pu
our hands through the hole, but instead of shak
ing hands with the driver, we heard him call out
| say, old chap, where is the money!" Par
looked at me and l at him. at last an old lad,
! told us, it was customary to pay five cents. Tn,
fact is, We just learned that this procession WA
a line OF carriages called omnibusses Pap wal
sold, but told me to say nothing to you about il
but the joke was too good to be lost but if yo,
say word to the Governor he will cut me Of
with a shilling.
Your affectionate nephew,
BILLY QUATTLEBAUM
