of the Eestern fossil, he gave it up;

Youlnight know that chap was

'fle may have 1111COMM0111 but he
certainly ain't got common sense.'
Now the Columbia let loose her
unearthly doable whistle, a high
shriek and a deep roar in one dis-
sonant ehord, three times repeated :
then her head turned in toward
shore, and a (Yang of wild men ap-
peared from th; lower regions, and
ranged themselves around the caps-
tan. Little tugs fle*- sputtering in
and „cut of the; Aver, ducking under
the bridges, their _pipes magically
'lowered for the purpoae, and 11, 'Ves-

slowly aside to let 'us pass.

taking out a vinaigrette.
'Iie, /mem.' .
What Makes the 'water look so

school -girls, gazing over the side. -

The river was narrow and crowd-

canal -boats, tugs, and one remnant
of old times, a fine side -wheel steam-

'What a splendid boat ,eried

'Them side-wheelers isn't god for

tain They 'mike a big show, but
they lop over easy in a gale'. Give
me a tight propeller, and show
'era a clean pair of heels all the way
from Buffalo to Chi -care -go.'
• At length the Columbia reached
her dock, and was made fast by the
swild men, who ran around the cap -
sten at furious speed, while the mate,
having cast ashore the coil of small
rope, occupied himself in .hanging
head downward over the side, and
bellowing ordees t3 the unseen slaves
below.
How long do we remain here,
captain 1' asked one of the Albany
gentlemen, whom Peisisiad already
naraed Mephisto; on account. ofa.
satirical _something .lurking in. his
calm, handsome face and polished
manners, as well as his apparent in-
fluence over the fresh -faced youth-.
whe accompanied him. .
'Until sunset,' ,replied the cap-
tain.
And as the afternoon was delight- -
ful parties were • hastily formed to
see the sights of the Forest City,
Mephisto capturing the sehool-mis-
tress by his studied politeness, thus
giving Faust an. opportunity to walk
with Curly locks, who seemed no-
wise opposed to the arrangement.
Persis, Moeris, and I took'a efirriage,
and after climbing a steep hill, found
ourselves in the main business

there comes Major Archer. I got
acquainted with him this morning
on deck. He is a first-rate fellow,
and knows all about Cleveland. I
am going to ask him.' So saying,
Mortis jumped out and ran toward

hill. After some conversation they
approaehed the carriage door,. and
Morris introduced the stranger to

At first the officer declined, but;
when, pleased with his manner, I
added my request, he accepted the
invitation, and directed the driver
down to the flats by another road
