Bridget" said a lady in the city
of Gotham one morning, as she was
accommodating in the kitchen, what
got here. We can get plenty of soap
for it, and we must exchange it for
some. Watch for the fat man, and
re speak to him.
Yes num-" said Bridget.
All that morning Bridget, between
each whisk of the dish cloth, kept a
bright lookout from the kitchen win
dow, and no moving creature escaped
her watchful gaze. At last her in
dustry seemed about to be rewarded,
for down the street came a large port
~ gentleman fourishing a cane and
looking the very picture of good
humor. .,. 3
Sure, there's the fat man now
thought Bridget, and when he was in
front of the house, out she few and
informed him that her mistress wish
ed to speak to him. ae
Speak to me, my good girl?"' re-
piled the old gentleman.
Yes, sir; wants to speak to you,
and says you would be kind enough
to walk in, sir. aD st ~ -.
This request, so direct. was not to
be refused, SO, in a state of some won
derment, up the steps went the gen
tleman, and up the stairs went Bridg-
ct, and knocked at the mistress door,
put her head in and exclaimed
Fat gentleman is in the parlor,
num-
So saying, she instantly withdrew
to the lower region. aet r
In the parlor," thought the lady.
What lean it mean?, Bridget must
have Numbered"
But down to the parlor she went,
and up rose her fat friend with his
blandest smile and most graceful bow
Your servant informed me, mad
am, that you would like to speak to
me-. At your service, madam"
The mortified mistress saw the state
ofthe case Immediately, and a smile
wreathed itself about her lips in spite
of herself, and she afterwards said
will you pardon the terrible blum
der of a raw Irish girl, my dear sir p
| told her to call in the fat man to
take away the soap grease, when she
saw him, and she has made a mistake
you see."
The jolly fat gentleman leaned back
in his chair, andlaughed such a hearty
hal ha. ha! as never come from any
of your lean gentry. .
mo apologies is needed, madam
said he. 1T is decidedly the best
joke of the season." Ha! hal hal Sc
she took me for the soapgrease man,
did she? 1t will keep me laughing
for months. Such a good Joker"
And all up the streets and round
the corner was heard the merry ha
hal hal of the old gentleman, as he
brought down his cane, every now and
then cAclaiming: Such a joke!'

The Lovely Fashions.

Mark Twain advertises himself
as a wit. Whether he is one or not
our readers may judge for themselves
from the following paragraph:
WHO shall describe the exquisite
taste and beauty of the new style of
ladies' Walking dresses? Taken as a
class, women can contrive nor out
landish and ugly costumes than one
would think possible without the gift
of inspiration. But this time they
have been felicitous in invention.
The wretched waterfall still remains,
of course, but in a modified form ev-
cry change it has undergone was for
the better. First it represented a
bladder of Scotch snuff; next it hung
down a woman's back like a canvass
covered ham; afterwards it contract
ed and counterfeited a turnip on the
back of the head; now it sticks
straight out behind and looks
ike a wire muzzle on a grey
hound Nesting in the midst
and hair reposes the little batter cake
of a bonnet, like a iockey,saddle on a
race horse. You will readily perceive
hat this looks very unique, aud pref
ty, and coquettish. But the glory of
the costume is the robe-the dress.
No furbelows, no founces. no bases,
no rufnes, no cores, no f~utterwhells,
no hoops to speak of-nothing but a
rich, plain, narrow black dress, ter
minating just below the knees in long
saw teeth, (points ~downward) and un-
der it a flaming red skirt, enough to
put your eyes out, that reaches down
only to the ankle-bone, aud exposes
the restless little feet. Charming,
fascinating, seductive, bewitching. To
see a lovely girl of seventeen, with
her saddle on her head, and her muz-
zle behind, and her vail just tipping
the end of her nose, come tripping
along in her hoopless red-bottomed
dress, like a churn on fire, is enough
to set a man wild. | must drop this

SHERMAN's DUPLICATED PLANS
The following anecdote of the war we
do not remember to have seen before:
Sherman, on his march toward Allan
ia, constantly astonished the rebels
with the facility with which he re-
stored the railroad brides they de-
stroyed at his approach. They would
annihilate a bridge just before he ar
rived, and the next morning there it
was again, just as it had been before
they touched it. At last a light
dawned upon them. The original
plans for the bridges had all been
furnished from Cleveland. Ohio. and
before Sherman started he FOX those
plans, had each bridge duplicated in
all its timbers and iron work, took the
pieces in a "shook" state on his
trains, and So, when he found a
bridge gone, he had nothing to do
but get it's mate out of the freight
cars, bolt it together and put it up:
This thing worried the rebels a good
deal when they found it out. One

On his return he found at CooperS
Ferry a farmer with a sled load OF
wood, just going on the ice. The
President stopped his horse to let the
farmer pass on before him. But the
farmer, who knew Washington, stop
ped also, and stepping up to him,
said respectfully: 81
"Sir, do you think it is right for
you to run the risk Of riding across
the river on the ice?" .
-" Why, my friend" said Washing
ton, Il think if you Gan pass over
with your sled-load of wood without
breaking through, I have no reason
to be afraid"
"Ahl" replied the farmer, "if +,
and a dozen like me, should fall
through and be drowned, we should
hardly be missed, but the country can
not do without you. sir"
b "Well, go on first, them" said
Washington and | think if the ice
does not break with your load and
horses, | can pass without danger
The farmer moved on without de-

serve Washington as a guide.
