Drake, the famous Zouave warrior, holds forth. The general is q very striking figure as he rides through the streets on his old war horse giving his friends the military salute. He is about feet inches tall, and broad in proportions has a reddish mustache and goatee, vel low dog, an afternoon newspaper and far-away look in his eyes. His paper, the Leader, is conducted something on the order of the Cyclone, and is deserve1ly popular. The general also owns very fine uniformed band, which is not un- known in the south and west. The band has never been to Bungtown, but the general told me that if the people would guarantee him a full house he woui1 visit our town and give a few concerts l told him there would certainly be q full house; that no other sort of house was ever known in Bungtown.
 l met Mayor Rankin this morning and had a long chat with him. He was standing on the back end of an Elza- beth avenue car when l got on. l said Fine day" "Very," said he. May raln though" says l. Possibly" says he, and jumped off the car.
 Elizabeth avenue, by the way, is an historic old thoroughfare. George Wash ington passed along this avenue in his historic march from Atlanta to the sea- after the surrender of Lee at Bull Run.

 This place once boaSted the most dan gerous railroad crossing in the world, but by elevating the railroads and cut ting down the streets the danger has been greatly reduced. As things stand now, the Pennsylvania railroad, leading to Philadelphia, is elevated; the Central of New Jersey railroad, leading to New York, is on a level, while the electric rail- road, leading to Newark, is depressed. The various roads emanating at Broad street and leading to hell are also slight ly depressed, but still doing business at the same old stand despite the kicks of temperance people.
 I am stopping at the Sheridan house. so named after the illuStrous old war horse, Gen.

I am under the influence of my historical sur roundings, and cannot help speaking of the valiant deeds of our forefathers. What q glorious study is history I re- member that I was passionately fond of it when a child.
 It has been about four hours since wrote the above. I have spent that in- terval in composing a verse to the Jer- SeE mOSQultO snail nave II set to music before returning to Bungtown. Here it is:

 With that of the droning bee,
 Makes music of rarest meter,
 Of wonderful melody
 And they sting like the devil.
