The Osceola times., 1884-08-02

rate and with heavcs and groans they
pid adieu topach other, but we who
bid not touch the Beer retained our
health and enjoyed leading the 9th
ers TO their room, where they soon
recovered and we were all happy
once more, and just now we find our
"wsx dude" again making more
mashes. He had this time Effected
real mash and the last we heard of
him on the boat making arrangements
to follow his mashed victim to New
York. We arrived at Chicago
again at 3 o'clock p. NJ. and taking
all things in consideration, we had a
fine time. We then spent two more
days and nights in Chicago, viewing
the many beautiful sceneries of the
city; and, by this time, for fear Of
being financially located in Chicago,
we thought it best to start for Osce-
ola once more. Our train left Chi
cago for Memphis at $50 p. IN. We
all met at the Hotel at g o'clock,
where we were again delighted to
find that our 'mashcr' had not gone
to New York, but was there ready
TO come home with US; but just be-
fore starting time he wandered off
from us, no doubt the desire to add
one more to his list of conquest was
irresistible, when he got lost and
wandered about the city two or three
days longer. We found out after
ward that he succeeded in getting a
policeman to show him the way to
the depot, where he had got aboard
the train, placed himself in charge
Of the conductor, and in three days
after we find him at home and pa
tiently awaiting the time, and look
ing forward with great anticipation
for the great Worlds Far which is
to take place at New Orleans next
winter. He says he can have much
better luck going south. We also,
hope that he may have better sue
cess, better wax, and much better
time in the south.
We left Chicago at the appointed
time, and had very pleasant trip
home. After passing Louisville we
discovered that we had another
Beau Brummel aboard our train,
who had gone to work in dead earn
est and had effected a mash on a
charming young widow Of Memphis,
and he was just having the incest
time imaginable when friend of his
stepped up and engaged him in con-
versation, with the view of obtaining
an introduction; Of course the gen
tleman had too much politeness to
allow his friend to stand there with
ont giving him the desired introduc-
ton, so turning to the charming
widow he said, Mrs. -, allow me
70 introduce my friend, Mr.. -,
Just then he discovered that he had
been paying his 'distrcsses' to the
wrong lady; she was not the widow
he had supposed, but the wife of
a living man, and then there was
another man to carry out for fresh
air. After little further investiga-
ton it WAS discovered that our Beau
Brummel was himself married man
with wife and three children; and
when the lady was informed OF this
fact, there was hysterical woman
aboard of the train who needed our
immediate and undivided attention.
But notwithstanding all this, we had
quite a delightful trip, and can safely
Recommend to all who may chance
to read tins, that should Mr.. Russell
ever give the people of the South an
other excursion to Chicago, go by all
means, and you will never have
cause to regret it. Hoping that you
may forgive me for monopoliziue
so much of your time and space.
provided this escapes the waste bas'
ket, ! am very respectfully.
