In New Haven tother day two Irish
men demanded $1.25 of gentleman for
putting in some fuel. A cOiored man
said he would do it for dollar, and his
services were engaged. Presently he
re-entered the gentleman's Office with
his thumbs In the sleeve holes of his
vest, aud assuming very self satisfied
air. The gentleman thinking some
thing was wrong, asked !" What is the
matter" He replied, with q grin, II
have hired the two Irishmen TO carry
up the wood for fifty cents, and retain
fifty cents for bossing the job.n And
such was the fact, for the gentleman
went out and saw for himself the two
Milesians obeying the orders of their
employer with aiacrity.

CLOSE my eyes, and, with q happy
smile, fall full length in the vcriest,
nastiest hole ON the street. I felt home
sick when realized that Rosie must
have moved gently away at my coming,
and thereafter doubted her constancy.
Woe, woe is mel shall rush madly of
to Idaho, early in the Spring, and l
know it.
Sparring matches are Of frequent oc-
currence between those who do not con.
slider themselves whipped, and those
who think they ought to be; and, oc-
casionally, they get to skirmishing with
shooting irons" in the country. All
hands went to q "dance" down in Clay
Co., a few nights since; did some loud
talking about the political affairs of the
country few years ago; fired nearly
one hundred shots before any one was
hit, and then getting frightened. every
fellow broke through the brush for his
shanty. 49,.
We hear Of q great deal of suffering on
the Plains this winter. Those who
have tried the Smoky Hill route must
run the greatest chances, for there is not
one-half the travel uia Santa Fec and
Smoky Hill that there is along the
Platte River. The weather is so cold
that the Indians do not venture out
much, and thus the "mule skinners {"
hair is not often ruffled by the ruthless
hand of the savage. Thirty or forty
men, and thousands of dollars worth of
stock, have already been frozen to death.
Butterfield's coaches wallow through
as time rolls on-over the Smoky Hill
route; while "Old Ben Holiday I"
puts his nags through, up and down the
Platte, i'm about six days.
Freighters are getting SO, 90 per cwt.,
from here TO Denver, but even at that
price they cannot make anything
Along the road from here to TT. Kearn-
ey hay costs from two to three cents per
d., and corn four dollars per bushel.-
From Ft. Kearney to Denver hay costs
from four to eight cents per H., corn ten
and twenty cents per H., and wood five
cents per ib.
Wages must be high next summer in
the Mountains, as there are so many
mills there. Quartz mills were rushed
in last fall by large companies, and, if
it breaks them, they will run them next
summer.
We are buying sorghum at IS cts. per
gallon, honey at 25 cts. per h., pork at
8 and 81, lard at l6, and beans at So per
bushel. We shall make out our loading
by the first Of May, and then start a
"bull train " for the best point to sell
out, if We wander to Idaho. Such load
ing man never loses on, and has only
to figure to keep out of the Indians
claws, and to get into the right spot to
sell.
Soldier, will you work ?' "No sir
zee, No" is the song of the one thou
sand and one loafers of this city; and
think they must belong to the organiza-
tion of "A Thousand and One" for q
more rascaiiy crew l never saw, and
though they are always dead broke"
still they are gay in their broadcloth.-
Occasionally one drops Off and is seen
next day urging some poor mortal to
get his life, cart, or pup insured; or,
perhaps, he is peddling Dime Novels"
or matches. but, "you bet," he's not
chopping wood, though he can get two
dollars per cord. How fortunate that l
enlisted in "B Company" else they
must oil have been ruined.
