An Escapade of Cats.

The thriving TOWN of Richmond. Illinois,
was recently the scene of sensation and
a catastrophe. The sensation was caused
by the solvent of Van Amburgh & Co.'S
mammoth menagerie. The catastrophe
we propose TO describe:
An immense crowd had been gathered to
see the living wonders Of the menagerie
The caravan had made it's grand process
sion, and throng of eXpectant sight-seers
were gathered around the entrance, await
ing the opening Of the doors. Just then
an odd-looking genius drove up. seated up
on rickety lumber-wagOn, carefully board
ed over, drawn by a pair of diiapidated
steeds, and eagerly inquired for the man
ager. Upon that person making his APP
pearance, he was saluted with:
Halo, Squire, I've brought you a load
Of CATS"
a load Of what 2" said the as,onished
manager.
A load of cats to feed your lions on
" To feed our lions on. The deuce you
have. We don't feed our lions on cat
meat. They eat nothing but the best
beet"
" Sha, / know better than thai. I've read
in the papers that cats are the favorite food
OF lions. Besides, I've got contract with
your agent for r load of EN-, with a rev.
enue stamp onto it, and i guess you can't
go back on that"
Saying which, the cat merchant pro-
duced greasy slip of paper which read
as follows:
.'RICHNoND, October ;. 1866.
This contract witneSscth that i have
this day contracted with Simon Virgins
10 furnish a load of cats TO feed the lions
on, for which you will pay to him the
hereinafter prices, towit:
For \ Cats 75c
For Store Cats. SOC
JONAS BUNG,
"Cat Agt VanAmburgh & Co. s Mcnagcrie
81 To the Menagerie.
MY FRIEND said the manager after
reading this document, "you have been
imposed upon. do not know any such
person as Jonas Bung, aud | don't want
any cats"
You lie now you know you do" re
torted Virgins, with imperturable good
humor; 'yeu arc only trying to beat me
down and get EN- cheap. I've got prime
lot-seventy-fve of 'em. Just look at
'em ~
And hastily descending from his perch.
he commenced showing at the tail-bOard of
his wagon, TO allow the manager chance
to examine his load. BY his nervousness.
however, he managed so awkwardly that
the board dropped completely out, and
with a terrible sputtering his entire load of
cats spraDg into the crowd A score of
worthless ours that were on the ground
made dash for the cats, ard away they
went heiter SHELTER, among the throng, up
setting women and children, and creating
dire confusion on every side. Toward the
town the streets were filled with people
proceeding to the menagerie, who, seeing
the commotion and hearing the shouts, at
once imagined some terrible accident. The
next instant some rumor spread through
tie crowd that the Royal Bengal Tiger was
loose, and scence ensued that bcggars

lady snathed the cigar from the gen.
tleman's mouth and threw it ont of
the window with the remark: II dis
like smokers; they make me ill.,"
The gentleman with polite bow,
rejoined: 81 do not like dogs; they
annoy me- Then selling the ami
NAL by the back of the neck, pitched
him after the cigar.

Doing n Dun.

In the early days of the Bugle of
Freedom, when first became asso-
ciated with it, there was among its
compositors one of the madest ways
that ever made night uproarious with
their wild pranks. He was a terror
to boarding house keepers and to
restaurant proprietors, and pushed
his credit to limit that was only
stayed by the dead wall of refusal to
trust. He is now useful, respec-
table member of society, leading
exhorter at political meetings, and
enjoys a prominent place among the
opponents of q license law. His
good nature remains, however, and
he loves his jokes as dearly as ever
he did.
One day a tall and cadaverous-
looking gentleman came into the of
fee, and stepping up to our friend,
asked if G. was in, giving his
own name.
C OWNED his GRAND in an in
slant, and looking up to where the
hats were hung, replied:
YES, there's his hat; he's around
here somewhere. "Say," looking
over his case, lis Cover there?'
NO" was the reply, 81 saw him
over your way last"
You had better wait, sir" said
G-"He'll be in soon"
The dun-for such he was--wait-
cd until his patience gave out, and
then went off. G-assured him
that the ono he sought was a tricky
fellow and he had undoubtedly dodg-
ed him.
Next day he came in AGAIN, and
going up to c., whom he felt ac-
Quainted with, he asked in q wills
per:
as he in?"
"Yes, was the reply, "there's his
hat"
And then he looked around among
the men, assuring the dun that he
couldn't see him, but advised him to
dlt, LC lilNi III ohet
then went away.
The next day when he came in he
went directly to his new acquain-
lance with the same question, re-
ceiving the same answer
1.-The truth is" said c., "that
he knows you, and as you come in
one door he goes out the other.
You had better watch outside"
And the patient man did watch in
the cold, till the printers went to din
ner, receiving a word of encourage
ment from G. as he went out.
Each day till Saturday thus he
came, and on each occasion was met
by the urbane and polite C., who
then went and paid the bill, and the
dun ceased coming, so mortified with
his want of shrewdness that he left
dunning and went into the undertake
ing business.

A cynical journalist says the rea-
son so many marriages occur imme-
diately after a war is that bachelors
become so accustomed to strife that
they learn to like it, and after the
return of peace they enlist in matri-
mony as the next thing to war.
