A WOXDKRPt'I, PAT MAN.
As 1 was iiiling about on.- of 1 hoji* towns
ttie inhabitants of which, entertaining a seri
ous objection to tlicativs, arc obliged to <lt -
penel, tor amusement, on itinerant lecturers,
conjurers, comic recitations, popular preach
ers, circuss. s. Jaudj other shows my atten
tion was drawn to a menagerie by a band ot
nigger minstrels stationed on the outside ot
it, playing appropriate airs. Above and be
hind the musicians a series of woudcruil
works of Art indicated the wonderful works
of Nature to be seen within. Among these
paintings was the figure of an enormously
tat man, entitled, in large illuminated letters
underneath his portrait, “The Second Daniel
Lambert.’’ 1 thought I should like to see this
second Daniel, and being what is euphemis
tically called stout myself. no and
demanded gratuitous admission on the ground
of being one of the brotherhood. Hut that,
-the money-taker said, could not entitle me
to see the lions and tigers, because, it 1 "■> >
a monster, still 1 was not a beast. I accept
ed the compliment, paid my money, and went
>u. ,
The Fat Man was in a sort ol annexe to
the caravan. He panted and perspired \c“i)
much.
“ Hard work, sir,” I observed.
Putting laboriously, lie answered,
sir!”
“I hope, sir,” I saul, “that your exer
tions are liberally rewarded by Mr. Saunders
the name of the showman.
“I am Mr. Saunders, sir, 1 am my own
proprietor”
“No! Are you, though, really? o ell,
sir, l admire your moral courage, 't <>u show
your s use, sir, in thus accepting your situa
tion, mid making the most of yourself
“Ah, sir!” he said, “ 1 have made the
most of myseil indeed. This fat sir, —he
did not say this here fat, but .spoke very
much like a gentleman —“all this tat is not
natural.”
“ Is it not
“No, sir. lam” —here he slightly chuck
eled—“ what you may call a self made
man.”
“ Ah !” said I, “ that's what we stout gen
tlemen most ot us are, I’m afraid. We do
make prize pigs of ourselves with our eyes
open—in that particular unlike the pigs.”
“ 1 did it on purpose, sir. '
“ On purpose, sir ?”
• Ves, sir, on purpose. When I started this
concern, I thought I might ns well become
part of it, by making an exhibition of myself.
I had reason for it. What are appearances,
sir?”
“Full eight yards round,” I answered’ ‘‘sir,
I respect your contempt lor appearances, and
for the people who are astonished by them;
uud who come and stare at you. And so you
made yourself of this size. Sir ?”
“I did, sir.”
“ How did you do it, sir ?”
“The old way, sir—eatiag aud drinking.”
“ What did you eat, sir ?”
“Potatoes. 1 ate a good deal of potatoes
and bread, sir. Ate a good deal of bread.—
You sec, sir, I did just the reverse of what
Mr. Banting reccomnieuds for bringing this
down.”
“Did you, sir ?,’
“ Yes, sir, Butter. I ate a good deal of
that. Sugar, too; large quantities of sugar.
Sugar is very fattening, contains so much car
bon ; dissolves so fast aud inns into fat. Pies,
tarts, puddings, sweets of all kinds. Pork,
too, sir, pork: ate a great deal of pork. Not
much bacon; no. Don’t like it; too filling
to fatten on. Salmon, stewed eel*, too; niee
rich, nourishing; very fond of stewed cols.
Milk and cream; have two bowls of bread
and milk a day. Oil, aud starch, aud saccha
rine matter, sir; as much as possible of food
containing plenty of oil, starch and sacchar
ine matter.”
“ What did you drink, sir.” *
k “As much fluid as possible, sir; as much
■pf every pleasant fluid A good deal of tea;
■|s a solvent for the solid food. Beer ; ale,
fat Burton. Stout. Fruity port.—
Clicquot’s champagne. Hot rum and water,
strong and sweet. Ah !”
“ You must have had a strong motive, sir,
to induce you to acquire a bulk which ap
pears to be distressing.”
“ I had, sir. My wife died, sir, and at the
same time I experienced a reverse of fortune.
1 have one sou, sir, to whom I atn desirous
of giving a good education. Having lmd an
indifferent one myself, I had no means of
earning the wherewithal by intellectual ex
ertion. Always rather disliked exertion of
any kind. Thought that the least trouble
some way of getting money would be riding
about with a show At that time Mr. Ban
ting’s pamphlet fell in my way. Jt made an
impression on me. 1 wanted a wonderful
fat man. Could’ut one be made by practic
ing the contrary of Bantings rules? Why
not make one of myself ? As I bad deter
mined to start a show, fancied that the
pleasantest occupation would be

All Komul thf Ilonru : or, llmi«\ Travels
ot* a Ten LXMIur Bill.
A funny allair occurred at our <l!»V r table
l h*-other day, by which the fact timtnuoncy
is i circulating medium was very Vippily
illustrated, and also the other fact lharivery
little money will pay a great many debit it—
it is only kept circulating. Our hosrjiad I
just finished serving the guests, when one of j
the girls came into the dining room and hard- i
< lliiiu a letter, saying as she did so, that “tf\e i
gintleinan w ished Mr. ll— to read it in*
n- With the usual apology, he tore
oil the envelope. “Well, well,” said he, as
he unfolded the sheet and carefully smoothed
out a bankbill, “all the honest men are not
dead yet. Here is a debt which I gave up
three years ago as one of the uncollectable
actually paid up.—principal and conyxmnd
i expected to be this morning.'’
“Then I think you can afl'ord to pay your
debts, ’’said his wife, roguishly.
••Mi/ debts! I settled them the last day of
December.”
“Lxeepting what you owed me.”
“You!”
“Ves. Didn't you borrow ten dollars of
me the last time you went to New York ?
Von know” —
“Never mind telling it all, wife; 1 11 pay
up.” And be gallantly passed over the bill.
She looked at it a moment as if in a study,
t hen spoke up, saying, “I owe Carrie, Neil,
and Mrs. B each ten dollars. Now I
can't pay them all with this, and the question
is, which needs it most. Who’ll speak first?”
“Ob, don't put it that way,” said I. “Nei
ther of us would like to own we needed ten
dollars. Let age decide.” I was a little
wicked in that last sentence, l'or I knew it
would, as folks say, out our widow, who is
striving, by all the forgeries of teeth, hair
dve, powder, rouge, waterfall nets, mice, and
nits, to deceive some gentleman into thinking
that she is on the sunny side of forty.
“Well, age it shall be. Here, Mrs. B— -,
don't say 1 owe you anything after this.”
The widow took it, looked at it a moment,
and then hflpded it over to a lawyer who sat
next her saying, “That will make us even;
won't it, Mr. P ?”
“Exactly, madam, exactly; though really
a dinner-table is a queer place to score out
old accounts.” Then passing it over to Mrs.
P——, he said, blandly, «j“And now we are
even. Wife. Didn’t I tell yon Id pay you
before night ?”
“Yes; but you would’nt, if I hadn’t been
here present when you received t Ills; you’d
have put me off v/ith some excuse. There’s
nothing a man hates so badly as to give liis
wife her honest dues;” and the black eyes
snapped archly at him. “And, now Mrs.
II- I can pay you my subscription to the
Industrial School, I was really ashamed to
show my face here to-day without the
money;” and she passed it oyer.
“Thank you,” said the hostess. “I paid it
in myself, when I was making my returns.
And now, Carrie, as you are next in order,
as age goes, I’ll pay you-”
“Thank you ma’am,” J said demurely, and
passed it at once over to the lawyer. “That
balances our account; does it not ?”
“Well, really, this is growing funny,” said
he. “Wife, do I owe you anything more ?”
“I should think you did; I wondei who
paid the bretuLbiJl yesterday. Somebody
hadn’t the money, and somebody had.”
“That’s insinuating, I was the hadn't. Well,
well, I feel rich to-day, and I’ll pay oyer.”
And lie passed it again to her.
In a second, she had passed it into Nell's
lap, saying “That settles our dressmaking
account.”
“Thank you! And that’!—tucking it under
the host’s plate,— “settles our account.”
Seeing he looked a little bewildered, she
added, “You lent it to Hal; but I’m his secu
rity.”
“Very good security, too,” he said, with a
profound bow r . Here, Mrs. II , I’ll make
you a New Year’s present!” and he passed it
over.
“And I’ll use it to pay you, Nell;” and it
again found its way to the little dressmaker's
lap. “Now I’m out of debt.”
“And so am I;” and she flirted it over to
me. “I told you yesterday I’d pay you in a
week, —with the mental reservation, if I got
paid myself.”
“And I’m ont of debt, too, Mr. H ;”
and again the bill found its way into the
host's hands.
“Well, well,” said an old gentleman, who
had been watching the whole affair with a
curious look, “I’d like to know what all this
means.”
‘ It means,” said Mr. II , who had been
making a quick calculation, “that this single
ten dollar bill lias paid fourteen debts and
made one present, the whole amounting to
one hundred and fifty dollars.”
' But I don’t see through it,” said the old
gentleman. “You had the bill first, and
r yw'fYc got it now.” j
| “Yes, and I mean to keep it this time;”
I and he placed it in his pocket-book.
I “Well, well,” said the old gentleman, “I !
can't see through it, but if you’re all satisfied j
1 suppose it’s right; but I wish there were !

Viil. Special Field Order No. 13, dated, Headquar
ters, Military Division of the Mi ssissippi. January 15th,
tN'j.3, is herewith rc.pnblished for tne information of
the command :
Hcaixi’es Military Division of tuC Mississippi,
« In the I>eid, Savannah, Ua., Jan. 15, ISU3.
Sl'FflAl. Fiei.ii Okdf.es, )
No. 13. j
The Department of the Sontii having been placed
within the sphere of this command, and it being highly
desirable that an uniform policy prevail touching com
merce and intercourse with the inhabitants of the
South, the following general rules and principles will
be adhered to unless modified by law or the orders of
the War Department.
I. Commerce witn foreign nations cannot be per
mitted or undertaken until the national authority is
established to an extent that will give the necessary
courts and oliieers to control and manage such mat
ters. Trade will be confined to a mere barter aud sale
proportioned to the necessary wants of the army, and
of the inhabitants dependant on it, for the necessaries
ot' life, and even that trade must be keut subject to
strict military control or surveillance.
II- Trade stores will be permitted at Beaufort, Ilil
‘r I ', Head, Savannah, Fernandina, St. Augustine and
Jacksonvnw, a, a n articles of food and clothing, gro-
C | 'c t w, adl ! tv U | :i< t ; hn „ a * CT ’"‘ (mods generally, and arti
cles not contraband of war.
HI, To trade is a privilege, and no person -win i lu
allowed to buy and sell for profit unless lie be a citizen
of the United States, und subscribe to any legal oath
or obligation that is or may be prescribed by law, and
at points threatened by any enemy, the officer com
manding may further exact as a condition, that the
trader shall himself engage to serve, in some military
capacity, to aid in defense of the place.
IV. Persons desiring to trade will apply to the com
manding officer of the Post and obtain his written
consent, specifying the kind, nature aud extent of the
trade, and when ne requires importations from North
ern Cities lie will in (ike manner apply tor his JVruut.
r ihe commanding Oflicer of the Post may appoint
foitte good officer to supervise these matters, who will
requentty inspect the stores, aud when there is not
sufficient competition will fix the prices of sale These
stores will in like manner ho subject to the super
\ ision ot the Commanding General of the Department
of the South by himself, or an Inspector General.
Y. Id order that purchases may be made with
economy, the commanding officer of each post will
make reports of his action in regard to trade, with the
names of trailers, amounts of goods desired for sale,
Ac., to the Commanding general of the department,
who wIU hi like manner, make full report to the Sec
retary of the United States Treasury, to the end that
he may instruct the collectors of ports from which
shipments are expected as to the necessary permits
and clearances. It being utterly impracticable that a
general commanding military operations should give
his personal attention tasnch matters, it is desirable
that as much power as possible should be delegated to
Post commanders, and they should be held to the
strictest account that no trade is permitted injurious to
the military interests of the United States. '
VI. Sales of cotton will be restricted absolutely to
the United States Treasury agents, and no title in cot
ton or bill of sale will be respected until after the cot
tan is sold at New Yoik. Country people havin'*
small lots of cotton arc permitted to bring the same in
to be exchanged for food aud clothing for their fami
hg?. The Quartermaster will sot aside a store or
warehouse, to which each wagon hearing cotton, will af
ter entering the military lines, proceed direct, to where
an agent oi the Treasury Department w'll receive and
weigh the same, and pay for it the price fixed in the
btn section ol the Act ot Congress, approved Julv 2
1804, viz, three-fourths the vi’iqe of cotton as quoted
in tup New York market; aqd the Secretary of the
Treasury is hereby requested to make appointments
of agents to carry out the provisions of said ar t at the
posts of llilton Head, Savannah, Fernandina and
Jacksonville.
HYil. In order that the duties hereby imposed on
commanding officers of Posts raav not be neglected or
slighted by the changes incident to rank and changes
of.troops, the Commanding General of the Depart
ment ol the South w il! appoint a special officer to com
mand at each of said Posts, with a small garrison not
to be changed without his orders; and "when other
troops, commanded by a senior, are added or arrive
the command of the post will not change, but the ad
ditional troops will be encamped near by and act ac
cording to special instructions.
