4 Cool FIDDLER. Southern paper
relates the snagying Of a steamboat, with
the owner on board, who was very fond OF
playing on the violin. The captain, pilot,
and engineer were IN the cabin playing
| cards one day, when her bow struck a Snag
with force that knocked hole in her aS
big a> hogshead. The shock upset the fare
uank and those WHO were gathered around,
and caused gncral confusion and con-
>ternation amongall except the owner, wh''
having rightel himself i'll his chair, re-
commenced his tune where he left of, and
went on as though nothing had hap
pened
"Sh.'s sinking" shouted an Arkansas
man, dressed in IA hickory bark coat, who
was making his way out of the cabin with
pair of saddlc.bagS on his arm. "Toma-
hawk me il she amt sinking, sure"
The owner heard it but fiddled away as
unconcerned as Nero ut the burning OF
Rome.
"Three feet Of water in the hold! Run
Old Buzzard ashore il you can," shouted
the captain The startling words reached
the ear of the owner, but he continued to
saw away,
The passengers run to him, and bawled
,ut, "Do you know the boat is >nagg.d!'
II suspected something Of the kind
.oolv answered the owner, rs he laid his
left car upon the violin, a la Ols b Ill, anl
appeared perfectly enchanted with his own
strains.
"She'll be lost in Eve minutes" contin-
ued the passengers.
''She's been losing thing this five
years. replied the owner, a h. drew most
'xcruac,ing tones from the fiidle.
II can feel her SETTLE" said passenger
II wish she woalel settle with mo for
what I've lost by her, before she goes
down." was the owners reply, rs his right
hand moved backwal and forward over
the fiddle.
But why don't you speak to the cap
tain, and give him orders what to do in the
mcrg nry ?" asked tho good natured pas
>engers.
Interfere with the officers Of the boat is
a very delicate matter" meekly remarked
the owner, as he still sawed away.
The boat careered over. and the next
moment the cabin was half full Of water.
The Buzzard, together with her cargo
and machinery, proved total loss. The
officers, crew and passengers saved them
selves by means Of yawl; the owner
swan ashore with his fiddle under his right
arm and the bow in his mouth. No IN
surance.

Hurrah for tho Hawke ye Boys.

Hurrall for tho ilawkeye Boys.
Or all the three months volunte RS which
have been in the service, We can say with
pride, none have behaved so we'll and 50
bravely as the 1st. Regiment Of Iowa vo-
lnnteers. Situated in the south western
portion of Missouri, exposed t" all the pri
vations Of a frontier life an the harrass
nents of prowling guerrilla bands, half fed
md half clothed they remained three weeks
.cyond the expiration Of their time, in the
hope of having good brush with the re
bells and doing their country some service.
No other three months regiments have done
as much.
The bravery of our Iowa boys is in
strange contrast with the pnsill,nimnu~
conduct Of the Fourth Pennsylvania regi-
ment and the artillery Of the N. Y. Eighth.
which, their time having expired, insisted
upon being discharged the night before the
battle of Bulls Run, knowing that for
ward movement was to be made the next
day. The earnest appeals of Gen. Mellow
ell and the Secretary of War had no effect
upon them, and the official report says.
",chen the army nsopsd f,r,otrd into the bat
tie. thess traps nsouett {" tie rear to the

Thus far in the progress Of this war, the
hcroism and citing qualities Of the troops
from Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, ha,
altogether traEscended that Of the NOR,
ShCwy eastern troops.
