ment before the Ways and Means Committee

amendment to the tariff bill.

THE FRISKY COLONEL FISK.

He Reviews His New UOmmand-HOw the
WOOdbine Twineth mt the Ninth Regiment
ArmOrY.
The 9th Regiment was scanned last night by
the eagle eye of Colanel James Fisk, formerly
Admiral of the Long Island fleet, comptroller of
the destinies of Erie, and grand gold german
dizer of Wall street. The armory in Twenty
sixth street is twined with woodbne, now fra
grant as pomegranates on wall.
Mr. Fisk looked every inch colonel as, sur
rounded by his brilliant staff, he with difficulty
mounted the stairs that lead to the drill-room,
which had been painted perfectly white to
symbolic the colonels character. In his new
clothes the great man looked hardly less i'm
posing than the drum-major who waved his
baton wildly in the air and danced lightly up
and down the room before Mr. Fisk to remind
him of the dancing blondes from whom he was
temporarily separated. AS the soldiers-a really
fine and soldierly lot of men-defled before
him, his eye flashed, but not a muscle of his
| able-bodied face quiyered, and not drop of
| perspiration ooZed from his marble brow.
He bore striking resemblance to the elder
Napoleon-his face was impassive, and his body
almost impossible. He had saved sufficient
money in the past month to wear fine pair of
| white gloves, and to decorate his hat with q
nice pink feather. He seemed very proud of
these gewgaws and evidently felt that at last his
dearest wish had been accomplished. The spec
| tators behed the reward of patient toll and un-
tary renown; and though they knew that
great actions and striking occurrences
having excited temporary admira-
tion-often pass away and are forgotten
| because they leave no lasting result affecting
the happiness or misery of mankind; yet, there
was a man who had achieved lasting renown, q
| pair of white gloves, and pink feather. Under
| his outer garments he wore bullet-proof shirt
of chain armor, beautifully chased and embossed
with gold. Should he fall, like Alaric, he has
asked his comrades to bury him in gold coffin,
| at the bottom of some rapid river, and his re-
| quest will be complied with.-N. y. World, to
| day.
