Laughabie scene in an Arkansas Ho-
tei--A Practical Joker waking Up
the Wrong Passenger.
A contributor to the SPIRIT of the Times thus
describes scene at the Anthony House, in
Little Rock. Arkansas:
Late one bitter cold night, in December.
some eight or nine years ago, l.. came into
the bar-roOm, as usual, to take his part in
whatever was going on. For some reason
the crowd had dispersed sooner than was
customary, and but two or three of the towns
folks were there, together with a stranger.
who had arrived half-hOur or longer before.
and who, tired, wet and muddy, from a long
Arkansas stage ride, his legs extended. and
shoes of, was consoling himself with two
chairs and q zap. opposite the center of the
blazing log fire. Any one who has travele d
until ten o'clock, in rough winter night.
over an Arkansas road. can appreciate the
comfort of the fruition before that fireplace.
The drowsy example of the stranger had
its effect on the other. and L., who took
seat in the corner, for Lick of conyersa-
ton was reduced 10 the poker Tor amuse-
ment. He pOked the fire vigorously for
awhile, until it got red-hot, and becoming dis
gusted, was about to drop it and retire when
he observed the great toe of the strangers foot
pToirudiDg through hole in one of his socks
Here was a relief to l.. He placed the glow
ing poker within foot of the melancholy
sleeper's toe. and began slowly to lessen the
distance between them; one by one, the
other as they caught the joke began to open
their eyes and being wakened, mouths ex-
BANDED into grins, and grins into suppressed
e ggles-aDd one incODtinent fellows into a
broad laugh. Closer and closer the red-hot
poker neared toward the unfortunate toe.
The beat caused the sleeper restlessly TO
move his hands L. was just about to apply
the poker, when a sound of click! click! arrest
ed his Intention. He looked at tae stranger
the latter, with one eye open. had been
watching his proceedings, and silently

The SMITH LOCOMOTIVES HEAD LIGHT-We
noticed, several months since. says the Ro-
chester Union. the experiments of our towns
man, Dr. Geo. Hand Smith, with light OF
his invention Of wonderful power and bril-
lancy- This light, the result of chemical
combination, was placed upon the locomo-
tive "Willink," belonging to the n Y. Cen
trail Railroad Company. year ago last Au-
gust, and has since been in use consia ntIy.
and its use has been fully and fairly demon
strated. During this tine the most careful
and accurate tests have been made with this
light. with view to IFS utility and economy.
T. experiments were satisfactory to all who
witnessed their results. A short time since
the "Willink." was sent to Albany, and the
experiments were repeated there in presence
OF the Directors and officers of the Railroad
Company. On this occasion the fine print of
newspaper was read on the track 2, 400 feet
distant from light. The experiments were
SO satisfactory that the Central Railroad
Company resolved to adopt the light for
general use upon the locomotives of their
road.

A COMPLIMENTARY BALL.-Prof. III. ST MAUR
STEWART, who has been teaching dancing
most successfully in this city, for some time
past, closes his Academy on the Oh inst, on
which occasion he compliments his pupils
and patrons with Ball. Persons who do not
come under the head of either of these class
es, may purchase tickets OF admission, ii ap-
plication be made through patron. In no
case will ticket be transferable; and no one
will be admitted without ticket. The par
ties of Prof. S. are always of the most pleas
ant character; and this one, we are sure, will
be one of the most entertaining he has ever
given. His skill as an instructor, and his
gentlemanly beariag, have endeared him
alike to patron and pupil, and they will as
semble on this occasion to enjoy parting
dance, and to render him the tribute of their
warmest thanks and sincerest admiration.

with substance which is extracted from coal

ALL FOR LoyE.-A little bit of romance
was established on a firm basis at one of the
hotels of this city the other evening. We
don't know much about the particulars, but
as far as we do know them, they ase as fol-
lows:
A young gentleman and young lady, out
in the country Omewh-re, fell ia love with
each othec, (but whether p-emeditatedly or
accidentally we could not ascertain.) and
|. concluded to invoke the aid OF a parson to
perpetuate their attachment, and set them up
in life and love together. But either the old
folks interposed an obstacle, or something
else got in the way to keep the course of true
love from running smooth, and they deter
mined to break off in search of an unob-
structed altar, before which to knrel and
VOW to stand by each other through thick and
thin, '-even unto the end"
a. And 10 the railroad the ycried,
20, Mister do not larry,
For the city bouad
To find chance to m4Tay,
Before the old folks find II out
And come play cd Hurry ~
The conductor, who was in love himself,
put on all steam, or enough to make the
train Out-run anybody that might have start
ed in pursuit, and the fugitiyes were safely
landed in the city, and stopped at one of the
hotels, where they sent fOr the parsOn, and in
an extremely short space of time were out
of the wilderness"
How the old man came in pursuit of his
daughter; how he got here too late; how he
cut up like the mischief, but finally concluded
it wasn't worth while, and got reconciIed;
how he took the young folks home and gave
them negro WOman with ten small children
to begin life with. will be given in another
chapter as soon as We find out that anything
of the sort happened.
