LONG BRANCH, September 20 won.-
Misther Pummery-We are still here, lal
lygagging on the bache and trying tt
serve out our allotted time until the firsh
of October, whin we shall be free agin
and liable to go anywhere we may be in,
vited, widout being obliged to ak ovid
Bradley, who gave US this house here. II
Ony Jerseyman liver getsme cousin Ulisse:
to accept prisent, on conditions, be
| jabers it will not be wild me consint, mol
Bridget's aither. l doubt if money would
hire Bridget to shtay here another sum-
mer, the society not being fh7t she is &C.
customed to. Give her nice shanty on
a railroad thrack, with nice patch OF
praties and an Elegant pig, besides her
own Terence, and she is fair happier than
in her prisent Irresponsible position as
wife of the Assihtant President, wild ovid
Dent and me cousin Ulisses growing
around livery time the tay or the sugar is
out, and they have to buy more. Arrah,
sir, position is foine thing, but it don't
always bring happiness, as the burrows on
me brow, where Bridget hit me wild a
shovel, bear testimony.
Me cousin is having the divil's OWE
trouble again. be confding in politicians,
and if the newspapers don't kape aisy
about telling livery thing they know
about us, there will be gineral suppress
sion of thin. Fiat the divil is the use of
newspapers, ony way, only to publish
family saerets, and advertise patent medi-
cins9 Me cousin is on sick bed to-day,
laying on a workbench in the barn, Just
from overwork of the brain, trying to
think of some way to counterfeit the
shtory that is going around the papers
Ye see, whin me cousins friend, Rawlins,
was afther dying, and they got up sub
sciption to lave legacy till his wildly,
me cousin subscribed a thousand dollars,
on the express understanding that the
money should be paid be Fishk and Gould,
those AIRY railroad chaps. He is moighty
free wild money whin any one dies, and
some one else will pay his subscription,
and these men wanted to pay it, and me
cousin let them, because he thought he
was comforting great honor on thin, and
thought they would be aisy and kape
shtill about it. Ony quantity of loyal
paple wrote till me cousin and compli-
mented him on his hberality, and he
thought that was the ind of it. But that
goold speculation me cousin and Corbin
and thin fellows whit into, ye mind, was
not afther proving a remunerstive enter
prise, and they blamed me cousin for
bushting the bubble, and since that be-
CORA they haven't thried to kape ony
secret to themselves, and the lasht thing
they have done, afther bringing regi-
ment of bloOdthirsty soldiers here to
shcare him, was to go and tell all about
how they paid the money for me cousin.
He denied it, but paple wouldn't behave
him, and now these diYils come out and
publish the checks be which they paid the
money. Now me cousin says that if they
paid it they did so widout his knowledge
and consint. He says he don't suppose ony-
body will behave him, but that is the besht
he can do Bridget has unfolded a plan
to me cousin be which he can be revinged
on Fishz, and we shall thry it onyhow.
1t is this: Ye see Fishk kapes an opera
house in New York, and paple say he is
moighty aisy TO be impressed wild the
charms of the famail sex. Now Bridget
proposes-an she is the divil's own girl
on shtrategy-she proposes to go to New
York and get an engagement as dancer
in opera bouffer-arrah, sir, she can dance
a howl through flure in the wink of yer
eyebrow. During her engagement she is
to make herself agTayable to Fishk-ye
know how it is yerself-and so work on
his finder sinsibilities that he will fall an
aisy captive at her feet, declare his love,
and propose to her to fly wild him to
where the woodbine twineth, and there
revel in sweet cOmmuniOn-you know
to wander in grassy shades and
pleasant dells, in shady hooks by bah
bling brooks, and the like, as We can
aisily imagine-in fact, have high ovid
time ginerally, as Fishk always does.
Well We see, at this pint Bridget is to put
on airs, fall back en- her dignity, be in
suited, and shwear vengeance, and shed
tears, and blubber around, and at a pre-
concerted signal / am to rush in as the
injured husband, shtrike an attitude, put
a bead on him, and challenge hint NOR
tai combat, whin can aisily fix him for
an arishtocratic funeral. l think this is
one of the foinesht-laid schames of vim
geance that liver was planned, and if it
it proves a success | am to have ony of
fee l will ashk for, and me cousin says
aither way it terminates he will be the
gamer. Be CORA, l wonder if he thinks
Fishk may kill mea Ony way, Bridget
shtarts for New York tonight, and l
follow in a few days. 1 have a little
matther to settle with Fishk mesef for
setting me on prize-f1ghter here not long
since, aud making me behave it was little
George Wilkes, that me cousin gave me
commission to thrash, and l got whipped
most Elegantly.
Me cousin Ulisses has some other
throuble that he can't take ony comfort
wild. Ye mind towld yez how he re-
cognized the Frinch Republic, because
he got his pay in advance, in goold.
That was great MISTAKE on me cousins
part. He thought be doing the loikes of
this he could secure the Frinch vote in
this country, but be jabers, in securing
moighty shmall FrinCh vote and some
that goold, he has losht the extinsive
lager-bier vote. The Germans are writing
lethers from all parts of this dis
thracted country to me cousin, shwe4r-
ing they niver will vote for him for ony-
thing again, and he feels the loss moight-
lily. Take this disappointment with the
idea of nominating mayer for Vice
President, which is being freely discushed
be our party, and me cousin is well-nigh
crazy. l think shall be obliged to issue
an address to the Germans, claiming to
be won myself, and that will make it
all right wild them if they will vote for
me cousin Misses.
Yer's the same as liver.
