AneCdote OF a Fat MAN.

Bridget, said lady in the city
OF Gotham, one morning as she was
reconnoitering in he kitchen, to her
servant" what quantity of soap
grease you have there We can get
plenty of soap for it, and We must ex-
change it for some. Watch for the
tat man, and when he comes along .ell
him that I wrnt to speak to him"
Yes, ma'am," said Bridget be-
tween each whisk of the di8hcloth,
keeping bright look ouf the window
and no moving creature escaped her
watchfnl gaze. At last her industry
was rewarded, for down the street
came large, portly gentleman -four
lshlng cane and looking the picture
of good hnmor. Sure enough. when
he was in front Of the house, out she
flew and informed him that her mis-
tress wished to speak 20 him
"Speak to me my girl, asked the
gentleman 2"
Eyes, sur, wants to speak with you
and says that you would be good
enough to walk in."
This request, so direct, vas not to
be refused, so in state o. some won
derment, up the steps went The gen
tleman, and up the stairs went Bridg-
ct, and knocked at her mistress door,
put her head in and exclaimed
Fat gentleman's in the parlor,
ma'am."
So saying, she instantly flew to the
lower regions.
In the parlor !" thought the lady.
What could it mean Bridget mnst
have blundered. " But down to the
parlor she went, and up rose our fat
friend with the blandest smile and most
graceful bow.
Your servant informed me madam
that you would like to speak to me,
at your service, madam.
The mortified mistress saw the state
OF the case Immediately, and O smile
wreathed itself about her mouth, as
she said:
Will you pardon the terrible blum
der of raw irish girl, my dear sir l
told her to call in the fat man to take
away the soap grease, when she has
made mistake, you see."
The jolly fat gentleman leaned back
and laughed such hearty laugh as
never comes from lean gentry.
No apologies needed madam" "
said the gentleman, it is decidedly
the best joke Of the season. Ha, hal
she took me for soap grease man did
she ? 1t will keep me laughing for
months, such good joke !"
And up the street and round the
corner was heard the merry laugh Of
the old gentleman, and he brought
his cane every now and then and ex-
claimed such good joke |"

LausYlabIe Incident.


In new melodrama recently got
ten mp at the New Bowery Theatre, a
famous robber is taken and his head
is exhibited to the audience by being
placed on table in the centre Of the
stage To accomplish this 30 the life
the robbers body is fixed in the body
of the table, and his neck, is fixed into
a hole in the centre of the leaf so ,at
to the audience it looks precisely as
though the mans head had been cut
off aud stood up in pool of its own
blood upon the table. On the fifth
night of the exhibition, wag got
into the third tier of the stage boxes,
and by some unexplained maneuver,
managed to blow lot of Scotch snuff
over the stage just at the time the
head was placed on the table. AS
soon as the snuff had began to settle
down, the head commenced sneezing,
to the no small amusement of the au-
dience and as the sneezilg could not
be stopped, the curtain fell amid roars
of laughter and confusion.

We have so frequently beer asked
by friends aud Others. why the boy in a
printing ofi.e is the " DeU5l," that we
concluded to give what little we know
upon the subject.
The first persons who carried on
printing to any extent (if they were
not the actual inventors cf the art, as
asserted were John Gottenburge,
John Faust. (or Fauster,) and Peter
Sh@fer. Germany is the place where
the art was Invented, and first carried
on. The following story is told ofthe
first Introduction of printing into
France.
=" In 1862, Faust carried a number
of Bibles into Paris, which he and his
partner Shefer had printed, and dis
posed Of as manuscripts /; at this time
tie discovery of the art was not known
in France. At first he sold them at
the high price of five or six hundred
crowns, the sum usually obtained by
the scribes He afterwards lowered
the price to sixty, which created uni
versal establishment but when he pro-
duced them according to demand, and
even reduced them to thirty, all Paris
became agitated.
The uniformity Of the copies increa-
sed their wonder, the Partisan consiG
ering it a task beyond human inven-
tion; informations we're given to the
police against him as a magician; his
lodgings were searched, a great num-
Der of Bibles were found and seized
the red ink with which they we're en-
bellished was said to be his blood. 1t
was seriously adjndged that he was in
league with the devil; whereupon he
was cast into prison, and would most
probably have shared the fate of such
whom ignorant and superstitious jud
ges condemned in those days for witch
craft He now found it necessary, in
order to gain his liberty, to make
known his discovery of the art. This
affair gave rise to the tradition of
THE Devil and Dr. Faustus,' which is
handed down to the present time.
The ignorance and superstition that
considered printing an invention of
the Evil One would also, very natu-
rally, suppose the men engaged in it
as being the servants Of Satan, if not
actual fends in human shape. 1t is
universally considered that the above
story gave rise to the practice of call
ing the Office boy by the name of the
Devil y 2

Who saw the steer ?

The richest thing Of the season, If
we except some of secession, came off
the other day in the neighborhood of
the market. The grsenest Jonathan
imaginable. decked out in slonched
hat, a long blue frock and a pair Of
cowhide shoes as big as gondolas, with
q huge whip under his arm, stalked
into billiard saloon, where half doz
en- persons were trundling the worries,
and after recovering from the surprise
consequent upon first visit to such
gorgeously furnished apartments, he
inqnired if :" any on 'em hid seen a
stray steer" affirming that +" the blast
ed crittur had got eway as he came
through town with his drove t'other
day, and he hadn't seen nothin' on i'm
sence."
The bloods denied all knowledge of
the animal in question, and with much
sly winking at each other, proceeded
to cOndole with him in the most heart
felt manner He watched the game
with much interest, as he evidently
had never seen anything of that kind
before, and created much amusement
by his demonstration of delight when
good shot was made" Jerusalem !"
being favOrite interection. AT last
he made bold to request the privilege
of trying his skill, when he sat the
crowd in roar by his awkward move
ments. However, he gradually got
his hand in, and played as we'll as
could be expected of a green horn.
All hands now began to praise him
which so elated him that he began to
imagine himself a second PhelaR and
actually offered to bet a dollar with
his opponent, which of course he lost.
The loss and the laugh so irritated
him that he offered to play another
game and bet two dollars, which he
pulled ont of big roll of bills; for it
seems his cattle had sold well, and he
was flush This bet he also lost, as
the fool might have known he would
when, mad as March hare, he pulled
out a fifty spot-the largest bill he
had-and offered to bet that on an
other game. The crowd mustered
round and raised enough to cover it
and at it they went again, and by
some strange turn of luck, greeny won.
-Elated bevond measure, he now
offered to put up the hundred he had
just won, against another hundred
Of course he couldn't blunder in winn-
ing another game, so they could now
recoverwhat they had lost and fleece
the fellow out of his roll besides Sc
they sent out for a famous player who
happened to have money enough to
bet with, and another game was play
ed which the greeny also won. An
other hundred was bet and won and
it was not until he lad blnndered
through half q dozen games and drain
ed their pockets of six or seven hun
dred dollars that they began to smell
a very large +" mice" When every
body got tired of playing, Gawkey
put on his frock, took his whip under
his arm and walked quietly out, turn
ing round at the door remarked.
+" Gentlemen if any of you should
happen to see that steer just let me
know"
At last accounts they hadn't seen
the steer, but they came to the con-
clusion that they had seen the ele.
phont.

Crusaders Of Freedom.

The Leavenworth Conservative
gives the following notice Of one ol
the companies composing the Kansas
Brigade. History has already told
US what men of this stamp can do,
and if there are many such companies
in Lanes Brigade, the chivalry may
find them to be as awkward to deal
with as the cavaliers found CromWelPs
Ironsides /;
"There is hardly a company in the
entire Kansas Brigade that can show
a more stalwart, muscular set OF. men
than the Moline company of Capt.
Graham, which reached here two or
three days ago.
Capt. Graham is a class-leader III
the Methodist church, and we under
stand nearly all his men are connected
with the same religious organization.
On Sunday evening fifty four of the
company marched in regular order
to the M. F. Church on 5th street,
silently broke ranks and entered the
church. Every man paid deVcut
attention to the services. So soon as
the exercises were over, they quietly
reformed their ranks outside the
building and took up the line Of march
for their quarters at the fort.
Before they had proceeded far on
their return, they struck up the we'll
known Methodist hymn with the
chorus, We're going hone to die no
more ?" There were many excellent
voices, good time was kept, and the
effect was admirable.
Take it all in all it was an impress

Prince Napoleon and the
Old Soldier.

Lorenz Harte, relic of the grand
Army of the First Napoleon, now an
inmate of the Cook County Poor
House, had an interview with Prince
Napoleon. County Agent Hansen,
learning the wish of the old soldier,
kindly conveyed him to the fremont.
His card was sent to the Princes
apartment, and the old man bowed
down with the weight Of eighty years
was ushered into the august presence.
The Prince arose to receive his re-
markable guest. There they stood,
for moment looking each other in
the face-the second heir to the French
crown ard the Scared and bronzed
victim Of score of battles Advan-
cling, the Prince grasped the old mans
hand, and, conducting him to seat,
spoke so kindly that the veterans
heart overfowed and he burst into
tears
To those at all acquainted with the
history of, the Napoleonic dynasty,
neither the kindness of the Prince nor
the emotion of the old soldier will be
wondered at. All such will know the
remarkable power of his soldiers. as
we'll as the wild and uncomfortable
idolatry manifested by the latter to-
ward the former on all occasions, in
victory or defeat.
