Johnny Beedle's Courtshp.

To the Editor Qfthe Press:
At the time Maj. McClintock was in COM
mand at Fort Preble in 1884 or B, THINK, ne
wrote several articles for the Portland Adcer-
tiser, of a miscellaneous character, among
which were the "Sleigh Ride" Johnny Bee
dies Courtship" &C.; these two here mention
ed excited good deal ofinterest and no little
merriment and had an extensive run through
the literary publications of that day. Looking
over number of Burton's "Cyclopedia of Wit
and Humor," recently, l came across the lat
ter story, appearing as original in that publ
cation and illustrated with full length por-
trait of Johnny, and Sally Jones "kicking up a
rumpus general" the chairs, tables &c
I send you the article thinking you might
deem it worthy of place in your outside,
where it might be read with as much interest
as If it were new. -tl at-J- E.

SxAPp1Ne-TURTLE ToM--Dr. Burney. OF

House OF Representatives at the present time.
He can tell more stories, and viii go further
in pursuit Of practical joke, than any other
man on tie floor of the House. Like al
other sensible men he is q conservative Re-
publican and supports the President and his
policy. A Gloss neighbor Of his on the floor
is Mr. Williams, Of Pittsburgh, a vain old
gentleman. of extremely radical views. Mr..
Williams was in the habit of talking to Bur
ney of conservatives as dead and alive SOFT
of men, and of the Radicals as e the real
wideawake, swapping turtle party" The
Doctor one day bethought him OF Joke, but
only limited inst then to Mr. Williams that
he'd better lock out or that swapping turtle
party would play he'll with him. Next morn
ing while passing through the market he saw
q lot of turtles exposed for sale, among them
a pugnacious snapper that seemed to be af-
iording a great deal Of amusement to crowd
of bystanders His size was about that of
the crown of mans hat, but his grit was
immense, and he jumped at every thing that
came in his way, whether a crowbar or
corn stalk. Burney Immediately became his
purchaser, and Selling him by the tail, put
him in a basket and carried him to the capi-
tai 1t was not yet eleven o'clock and the
hall was nearly empty, so he was enabled to
carry out his project unobserved. He went
directly to Williams desk, found it unlock
ed, by good fortune, quietly lifted the lid,
and transferred the snapper from the basket,
to rumble and tumble among foolscap and
pub docs, then closed the desk and left it as
if nothing had occurred of the extraordinary
Just related. After the House had
been called to order, Burney, who, with
few of the initiated, had kept a close eye on
to see if he would open his desk.
and had been disappointed, approached the
old man. and with an air of feigned impati-
ence, said: Williams, reach your hand in
to your desk and get me sheet of paper, |
I'm out" Williams raised the lid of the desk
Just enough to let his hand in, and was reach !
ing for the requested sheet, when he expert !

which astonished half the House, and Jump /
ed back half dozen feet. The "snapper "
had grabbed for him, caught him by the
coat cuffs, and narrowly missed his hand. Il |
IS not necessary to say that there was big

Let Us make a remark on the latest
outrage and indecency of " fashion" A
few weeks ago, on a muddy day, we saw
walking, some ways before us, pitia5le
object. In the distance it resembled a
poor German peasant woman, with her
short petticoat coming somewhat below
the knee. (There is nothing immodest
in that peasant dress. The German
peasant walks with her ankles exposed,
