PRIETER 10 THE SEEATE.-W. A. Hams, Esq,
editor of the Washington Union, has been elected
Printer TO the Senate. The Union since it has been
under Mr.. Harris control, has most admirably sus-
tanned its high reputation as Jealous, powerful
and efficient organ of the great and noble party in
whose cause it labOrs. 1t deserves not only the
favor of the Democratic majority in the Senate, but
it should receive the hearty support and patronage
of Democrats and national men throughout the
land.

A story.

A tall, awkward looking chap, just
from the green mountains OF 'er"on',
came on board of one Of the splendid
North River boats at Albany. liIS
curiosity was amazingly excited at once,
and he commenced "peeking," as he
called it, into every nook and corner on
the boat. The captains Office, the
engine room, the water closets, the
barber's shop, all underwent his inspec-
ton ; and then he went on deck, aud
in amazement at the lever beam, the
chimneys, and the various fixins," till
at last he caught sight of the bell. This
was the crowning wonder, and he view
it from every position, walked around it,
got down on his knees and looked up
into it, and exclaimed
Wall, rally, this beats the bell on
our meetin'-house a darncd sight"
BY this time, the attention of the
captain and several of the passengers
was attracted to this genius.
You may ring it for u dollar, sir, "
said the captain.
Wall, it's a bargain, all fair and
agreed, and no backing eout'
Its bargain, SIR said the captain
Our hero went deliberately and brsugh,
a seat and took hold of the bell rope
and having arranged everything to his
satisfaction, commenced ringing, slowly
at first, and gradually faster and faster,
till everybody on board thought the boat
was on fire and rushed on deck, scream
ing with alarm.
There stood the captain, and there
sat the "Vairmountcr," ringing away,
first slow and then fast, and then two or
three taps at time. The passengers
began to expostulate the captain said
it was bargain. But the passengers
became urgent that the eternal clangor
should be stopped. All the while there
sat our hero undsturbcd, ringing away
more ways than cockney chime-ringer
ever dreamed Of At last the captain
began 20 think it time to step the sim
pleton but his answer was:
{ A fair bargain and no backing eout,
and he rang away for dear life.
Well, says the captain, what viii
you lake to stop?'
Wall, eap'n, l guess | sheant lose
nothing if take five dollars and a FREE
passage to New York, but not darncd
cent less
Well, walk down TO the office and
get your money and passage ticket, said
the captain. Troy Budget.
