He was not Bashful,

The following capital story from Lon
don: Some days since, the trains on the
North London Railway were all late,
and consequently every platform was
crowded. At one of the stations an i'm
Fortunate passenger attempted to enter
an already overcrowded tirst-class COM
partment, but one of the occupants
stoutly resisted the intrusion; thereupon
the importunate one said, II will soon
settle this,'' and called a guard to the
carriage door. He then requested the
official to ask two of the occupants to
produce their tickets, which proved to
be third-class ones. In spite of the de-
linquents protesting there was no room
in the train elsewhere, they were eject
ed, and the importunate one took their
place. The other passengers were natu-
rally rather indignant, and seeing this,
the successful intruder quietly said:
II am very sorry to have had to turn
those two gentlemen out, especially as
l heard one say they were already late
for an important engagement in the
city; and I am all the more sorry, see.
ing that I only hold third-class ticket
my self.''

NEW ULM REVIEW, WEDNESDAY MARCH / 1852
4 Drummers Brilliant idea.

Some people seem born with q faculty
Of raising the ancient masculine juven-
lie. They get folks who are minding
their own business and merely want
peace and quiet, into all sorts Of scrapes.
This faculty is peculiarly developed in
the commercial tourist, usually referred
to as a drummer. He's the man who
makes love to all the pretty servant girls
in the hotels and gets their notions so
high that they won't notice the porters,
and it makes the latter want to .'slug"
the drummers One of this class of
gentlemen was at an up-country railway
station some days ago, and discovered,
while waiting for train, a wasp's nest.
An idea at once struck him. How he
achieved the feat without getting hurt
we don't know. Probably the wasps
were dormant with cold. But at any
rate, he got the nest down and tied it
to the tail of yellow dog that was fool
ing around the depot. The dog started
to run and that so stirred up the wasps
that they sent out courier to investigate,
and as he did so in manner disagree
able to the dog he only ran the harder
and made three wild circuits of the depot.
The train meanwhile came in, and as
trains don't stop long at country stations,
it was just starting as the dog came
round the third time Wild with pain,
the dog leaped aboard the train and
plunged into crowded car just as the
brakeman closed the door. The poor
brute got beneath seat and tried to
curl up. The car was hot and it warm
ed up the wasps and they came out,
and in about half a minute the men in
that seat jumped up so hard they nearly
stove holes in the roof, and the way they
clawed at their legs was caution. Ev-
erybody looked. Then others became
interested. And the dog started on the
run through the car. The wasps went
for him and every person in the car. A
wild scene took place. Men cursed and
clawed wildly. Women got up on the
seats and danced, and the dog, which
everybody thought to be mad, tore up
and down the aisle, bowling. The con
ductor came in, thinking the people
insane. He promptly joined the show.
As the train was flying, folks couldn't
jump off. No mad house ever saw such
a scene. There was profanity enough
to sink ship, and the brakeman, gaz'
ing in at the door, said it beat anything
he ever saw in variety show. Finally,
the conductor stopped the train, folks
got out, and the car was cleared o.
wasps and dog. But the passenger
didn't get over it. They were an awful
mad set, and occasionally after they go
started again, a man would find stray
wasp in his trowsers and rise and yell

not few Of the drunken antics Of
the notorious Judge Cox. Saturday
evening his conduct was so disgust

Col. Mcnamara. the proprietor,
locked the wretch in hia room. This
was no sooner done than the sot
commenced ringing his room bell,
creating such din in the Office,
that he was soon allowed his free
dom. Sunday morning early the
brute staggered into the Office of the
hotel and for a time abused and in
suited all who came near him. In
the afternoon he again appeared,
this time with hack-driver, who
soon after carried him away. Such,
in brief, is the conduct Of a person
who holds one of the noblest posi-
tons IN the State, and is now on
trial for disgracing that position.

WASHINGTON, July SIN the River and
Harbor Bill is an item which directs the
United States Secretary of War, at his dis
cretion, to.cause the examination or sur
vey, or both, and estimate the cost Of I'M
provements if any, proposed to be made
on the Taggart Valley River, W. Va,
above Grafton, to the Three Forks of Buch-
anan. An amusing incident In connection
with this piece of legislation occurred in
the House during the consideration Of the
bill, which has been overlooked by the
newspapers. The House Committee on
Commerce had. although requested by Mr..
Kenna to do SO. failed to insert the item
in the bill before reporting it to the House.
K emma prepared the amendment and con-
suited with the members of the committee,
who agreed not to raise any point, If Mr..
Kenna desired to offer it.
About sixty pages of the bill
had been agreed to when Kenna
arose and offered the amendment,
saying in explanation that as he ''had con-
suited the members of the Commerce Com
mittee and they having verbally agreed to
the proposition, lie believed there would
be no opposition to the amendment in the
House" The amendment was then read
by the Clerk, and the presiding officer put
the question. saying: "All these in favor
of the amendment proposed by the gentle
man from West Virginia answer, faye"
Kenna shouted out in his characteristic
shrill voice, "Aye," 5eing the only member
in the House voting for the amendment
''Those opposed" said the Chairman, "will
answer, nay" whereupon every member in
the House, on both the Republican and
Democratic side, yelled "Nay," just as loud
as they could.
Kenna, who in the meantime had re-
mained standing, resolved that he had been
''sat down upon, and took his seat, and the
reading of the bill proceeded. Immediately
Bayne of Pennsylvania, called out to Kenna,
asking him why he did not call for divi-
sion, explaining that it was "set up job,"
and if division had been called for they
had all intended to vote for the amend
ment. Subsequently Mr.. Keena again Of
fered the amendment, and on the question
of its adoption he again found that he was
the only member in the House voting in
the affirmative, and as before, every other
member voting may" as loud as he could
shout.
"Division" called out Kenna and upon
the question being submitted for vote in
this way, there was not negative vote.
1t seems that it was little pleasantly con-
cocted among the members who wanted to
have a little amusement at Mr.. kenna s
expense. The item, however, is in the bill,
and it is probable that before fall the
mountaineers living along the Tsggarts
Valley river will be surprised at seeing
party of civil engineers appear for the pur-
pose of making surveys and examinations
to see if any improvements in that stream
can be made and if so to estimate the cost.
