THE TOWN OF SUFFOLK.
** Is this Suffolk? ” muttered McBride con
temptuously, as he thrust his long neck out
of the car window, and gazed upon the sleepy
looking town that lay blinking in the sun
shine.
“Yes, m.isKsa; dat is de name ofdis place,”
answered a son of freedom that had the inevi
table waiter of dirty lunch you always see at
Virginia railway stations, couched expectant
on his left hand. “Won’t you tek a nice
piece cr briled jphicken? ”
“ Well, fellows, if this is Suffolk, and the
Dismal Swamp ain’t any bigger thing than
the town, then I bo hanged if I want to dive
into it.”
And, to be sure, the little town did present
a poor appearance. It looked like a town in
a trance—placid, easy and contented with only
one man in sight in all its streets, and he
stretched at full length on a pile of shingles,
apparently trying to induce a drowsy dog to
do some sort of a trick, which the dog seems
too lazy to attempt. The main street is very
broad, and is ornamented with two rows of
live oaks, which, by the way, seem to be the
only live things in the place. It reminds me
of a Georgia town in one respect; all the chim
neys are built on the outside of the houses.
This barbarous habit prevails, as we have said,
to an alarming extent, and each house looks
as if it had an elongated wart on its back.
The town has two thousand inhabitants.
(This statement is a sop to those who love sta
tistics. I do not know' whether it is correct or
not. For their sakes I hope it is. I may
throw out the remark here that I am not at ail
to be depended on in the figure line. I usual
ly guess at my statistics. In pure romance I
consider myself reliable, and something of an
authority.)
The Honeysuckles crawled out of their train,
put their trunks in their coat pockets, and
started on a pilgrimage for lunch.
THE MAN WITH THE DOG.
The man with the dog being the only hu
man in sight, we drifted, as by a sort ot des
tiny towards him. I do hope that man’s dog
was flattered by the fixed resolve with which
bis master confined I attentions to him, to
the utter exclusion oF^ne Honeysuckles, al
though they had by this time approached
within two feet of him.
“Hallo, my friend!”
He looked up and we saw that he bad only
one eye. (From the devotion with which he
had stuck to the training of his dog we had
long since found out he was a one idea man.)
“How do you know I’m your friend?” said
he sternly, gazing at us out of his one orb
reflectively.
Honeysuckle—taken aback—“Well, we
didn’t kiioi" it, but supposed it would be all
right.”
•‘Y r es, may be you did; but don't put on no
airs with me; I’m a straight up and down
white man, I am, I hope. Jump, Pup,
jump—ps-t-t, jump!” He made a panto-
mine of “jumping,’’ with his hands, |
while the dog gazed at him with a melan- 1
eholy gaze, as one would gaze at a mad man. j
Every Honeysuckle looked around the de- i
Got me a gun V" says McBride.
| “ I consider as I’m a straight up and down
I mao. When you told me to git you a gun
you might ’a considered it got. In course
I've got it,’’ and he banded McBride
one of the most robust double-barrelled affairs
that I ever saw, while Smith took an old flint
and steel rifle that Cain and Able mu-st have
shot robins with when they were boys.

STATISTICS OF THE DISMAL SWAMP.
The Dismal Swamp is a vast body of half-
submerged land, fifty-three miles long, aud
about sixteen miles across. It has never been
fully explored, and numbers of people have
been lost in the attempt to get through it.
No one lives in it except a few shingle cutters,
who send their shingles to market by the
Nansemond Canal, which penetrates its upper i
edge. This canal w*s built by a company, of j
which* Gen. George Washington was the first ,
President, and he personally superintended
the building of it. The shingles I am
sorry to say, (very sorry,) is falling off. In I
the midst of the swamp there is a huge 1
lake of black inky waters called Drummond’s
Lake, and it is on the edges of this lake that (
Dred, the famous fugitive of Harriett Beecher ,
Stowe bid himself from his owners. This is \
the only real objection I have to the swamp.

INTO THE DEPTHS.
It would have done you good to have seen '
this club when they were accoutred in their I
swamp clothes and announced ready to their i
cruel black guides who stood with perpetual '
lightning playing from ear to ear as they
watched their proceedings. McBride had on
a pair of white duck pants that barely cover
ed bis knee-caps, a Yankee summer overcoat, i
and a wool hat. Kimball had a suit of ordiD- I
ary jeans that was nearly big enough for Mc
Bride, and the others were attired not less ,
ridiculously.
Under the guidance of the negro guides we |
struck out for the canal. Arrived there we •
found a regular built canal boat awaiting us, ;
and Cap sitting near the locker packing in the |
“purvisions” he had purchased, while the ;
dog sat on th6 shore snapping at flies. j
The club piled into the boat and made :
themselves as comfortable as possible. Cap 1
called “Pup,” and lor the first time in the eivin:! tbe arriTal and departure of ,11 Train,, cor i
course of our acquaintance Pup “jumped.” j rected b y It. D, Uaun. General Ticket Agent, No. 14
Ihe two negroes took two long poles, titled 1 KirnbiU Home.
one end of them into a notch cut into the’
boat, and the other end under their armpits,
one standing on each tow-path of the canal.
They bent themselves down on the poles; the
boat darted forward: the crew gave a cheer;
the negroes struck a wild corn-song, ami the
Honeysuckles were lost in the shade of the
swamp.
Where, for the present we will leave them!

Why shall I describe the Hotel? Why the
dinner ? Why the negro wench that waited
on the table bearfooted, and whose feet made
that peculiar scratching sound when
she walked. as one would make
who was shod with nutmeg graters ?
Why the long rows of paper strips sus
pended from tbe ceiling and swinging by
a perpetual motion nigger, apparently for the
purpose of driving the flies off, but as the
flies honestly believe, for the purpose of
tanning the sweat off their browj while they
prosecuted their work of punctuating every
thing on the table? Why shall I describe any

the apple pie, McBride broke out in a new
place, mach to the gratification of his friends.
Says he, “the way that fellow with a dog
snapped us up to-day gets me ! It reminds
me of a thing that happened to me at school
once. I had just entered, and there was a
boy named Bob, who was the bully of the
school. It was generally understood, I being
the only boy in school of his size, that I
would be his rival. Now, on the very day

he was, how many boys he had
