Doesticks thus gives his experience as
a member of a fire company:
“Bought my uniform, treated the'
company, took up mv quarters in the
bunkroom, where I slept by night in a
bed occupied in the day-time by a big
yellow dog. First night, went, to bed
with my boots on, ready for an alarm.
At last it came—sei*ed the rope with
the rest of the boys; started on a run;
tugged and toiled till we got her into
the lltb district, four miles and a half
from home; found the alartn had bean
caused by a barrel of shavings, and the
conflagration had extinguished itself;
had to drag her clear back; tired most to
death; it wasn’t funny at all.
Turned in; half an hour, now alarm;
started again—hose 80 laid in the same
alley, gotour apparatus jammed on the
corner; fight; 07 victorious; got our ma
chine out, and carried ott - the fore-
wheel of 8(Ts carriago on our tongue;
reached the fire; big nigger standing on

House of Ropro3ontativo8 _to organize,.

change in the mode of nppointihg the

It has been suggested, a», a proper
remedy for the growing abuse of a fail:,
uro to organize, that the Constitution be
so amended as to create the office of a
second Vice President, elective by. that
people, and whose duty it ..shall be to
preside over the popular brooch of Con-,

of serious thought, in consideration of'
the great inconvenience to which tbo .

Schedule.
A Chapter- or Uxaccountables:—
There is a iilqce in Maine so rocky that
when the down Easters plant their corn
they look for crevices in the rooks and
shoot the grains in with a Musket.—
They cant raise ducks there nohow, for
the stones are so thick that the ducks
can’t get their bills between them to
pick up the grasshoppers, and the only
way that tiie sheep can got at the sprigs
of gross is by sharpening their noses on
a grindstone.
But thataint acircumstanoe to a place
on the Eastern shojfo; there the land-
is so poor that it takes two kildears to
say “kildea; *ntl on a dear day you
can see tbegrasshnppersdimbupamul-
Icn stalk, and look, with tears in their
eyos, over a fifty aero field; and the
bumble beos have to get down on their
knees to get at the grass; alt the thus-
quitos died of starvation, and the buz
zards had to emigrate.
But tliero is a county in Virginia
which can bent that. There the land
Ls so sterile that when the wind is,at the
northwest they have to tie their chil
dren to keep, thorn* from being blown
away; tliero it takes six frogs to see a
man, and when the dogs bark they have
to lean against the fenoe; tho hoi
are so thin that it takes twelve of them
to rnako a shadow ; and when they go
to kill a beef they hold him up to knock
him down.
