MS eyes fixed on the northeast corner of

Ole Bull Must Drink or Plight,

Going down the Mississippi Ole Bull
met on the steamboat a party of half
savage men, Colonists from the far
West While reading bis newspaper,
he was accosted by one of the men,
who had been sent as spokesman By his
companions, with the request that the
fiddler would take drink with them,
Offering him q whisly-fask at the same
time. Il thank YOU" said Ole Bull
politely, but never drink whisky"
With a curse the fellow asked if he was
teetota!er. mo, but whisky is like
poison to me- III you can't drink,
come and tight then" The mans COM
rades had gathered round him mean
time, and they all cried, If you won't
drink, you must fight, You look d-n
strong; show US what YOU are good
for" "a Norsemsn can fight as well
as anybody when his blood is up, but |
can't fight when my blood is cold, and
why Should l?' you look like
strong fellow, aud d-n it, you shall
fight" Seeing no way of escape, Ole
Bull quietly said, Since YOU insist on
testing my strength, and there is no
reason for fighting, will tell You what
will do. Let any one of you take hold
OF me in any way he likes. and I'll wag.
er that in half a minute he shall lie on
his back at my feet" A big fellow
was chosen, who stepped forward and
graSped the violnist round the waist,
but was instantly thrown over his head
by q sudden wrench aud lay senSeless
on the deck. Ole Bull now felt himself
in very uncomfortable position, for he
saw one of the mans comrades draw
his bowie-knife, but was relieved when
ii was used only to open a flask. A
good dose poured down his throat soon
revived the fainting man, and his first
question, How the devil was ! thrown
down here" was answered BY a shout
of laughter from his companions, in
which he himself joined. He sprang to
his feet, aud after vaiuy trying to per-
suade Ole Bull to show him how he had
thrown him, he said; Take this knife
home with you; you fight id well;
You are as quick as lightning" The
artist heard Of the same fellow later as
having gone to an editor TO call him to |
account for an adverse criticism on his
playing, ready to fight for "tho strong
