Holding (he Fort, Last Monday afternoon the eleven Bobliuk boys surrounded and caught an enormous, shaggy, strong-smelling, wicked-lobking goat, of the masculine gender, turned him loose in Burdock's garden, nailed up the gate, and then went home and flattened their eleven little noses against the back windows to watch for coming events. Before his goatship had spent three minutes in that garden he had managed to make hinsself perfectly at home, pull ed down the clothes line, and devoured two lace collars, a pair of undersleeves, and a striped stocking belonging to Mrs Burdock, and was busily sampling one of Burdock’s shirts when the servant girl came rushing out with a basket of clothes to hang up. “The saints preserve us !” she ex claimed, coming to a full halt, and gaz ing openmouthed at the goat, who was calmly muebing away at the shirt. “Shew ! Shew! Shew, there! ,7scream ed the girl, setting down her basket, taking the skirts io both hands, and shaking them violently toward the in truder. Then the goat, who evidently consid ered her movements in the light of a challenge, suddenly dropped his wicked old head and darted at her with the force of an Erie locomotive, and just one minute by the City Hall clock, that girl had turned a back somersault over the clothes-basket, and was crawling away on her hands and knees in search of a place to die, accompanied by the goat who butted her on the bustle ground every third second. It is probable he would have kept on butting her for the next ’two weeks if Mrs. Burdock, who had been a witness of the unfortunate affair, had not arm ed herself with the family poker and hurried to the rescue. “Merciful goodness ! Annie,do get up on your feet !” she exclaimed, aiming a murdurous blow at the beast’s head, and missing it by a few of the shortest kind of inches. It was not repeated owing to the goat suddenly rising up on his hind feet, waltzing toward her and striking her in the small of the back, hard eoougti to loosen her finger nails and destroy her faith in glorious im mortality. When Mrs. Burdock returned to con sciousness, she crawled out from behind the grindstone, had been toss ed, and made for the house stopping on ly once, when the goat came after and butted her, head first, into the grape arbor. Once inside the house, the door was locked, and the unfortunates sought the solitude of their own rooms, and such comfort as they could extract from rub bing and growling, while the goat wan dered around the garden, like Satan in the book of Job, seeking what he could devour, and the eleven little Bobiink boys fairly hugged themselves with pleasure over the performance. By the time Burdock returned home that eveniug, a.d learned all the par ticulars from his arnica-soaked wife, the goat had *eaten nearly all the week’s washing, half the grapevine, and one side out of the clothes-basket. “Why io thunder didn’t you put him out, and not leave him there to destroy everything ?” he demanded angrily. “Because he wouldn’t go, and I was □ot going to stay there and be killed, that’s why I” answered the wife exeited “Wouldn’t fiddlesticks !” he exclaim ed, making for the garden, followed by the entire family. “Get out of here you thief!” he shouted, as he came into the garden and caught Bight of the shaggy and highly., pertumed visitor. The goat bit off another mouthful of the basket, and regarded him with a mischievous twinkle of his eyes. “You won’t go, hey ?” exclaimed Burdock, trying to kick a hole in the enemy’s ribs. “I’ll show you wheth—” The sentence was left unfinished, as the goat just then dropped his head on Burdock’s shirUbosom, and before he could recover his equilibrium he had been butted seven times in seven fresh spots, and was down ou his knees crawL ing around in a very undignified man-* ner, to the horror of the family aud the infinite glee of the eleven yoing Bob olinks next door. “Look out he don’t hurt you 1” screamed Mrs. Burdock, as the goat sent him flying into a snow pile. When Burdock had got his bald head out of the snow, he was mad all over his clotbes.and tried to clutch the brute by the horns, but desisted after he’d lost two front tsetb, aud been rolled in the mud. “Don’t make a living show of your self before the neighbors,” advised his wife. “Come io, pa, and let him be,” beg" ged his daughter. “Golly, dad, lookout; he’s cornin’ agin !” shouted his son, enthusiasticaly. Then Burdock waxed profane, and swore oaths in such rapid succession that his familv held their breaths, and a pious old lady, who lived in a house in the rear, shut up her win dows and sent out the cook to hunt for a policeman or a missionary. “Run for it, dad,” advised his son, a moment later, when the goat’s attention seemed to be turned avay. Burdock sprang to his feet and fol lowed l.is offspring’s suggestion. He was legging in superb style, and the chances of his reaching the house seem ed excellent, when the fragrant brute suddenly clapped on more steam, gained rapidly, and darting between his legs capsized him into the ash.box. His fam’ly dragged him inside, an other candidate for rubbing, arnica, and a blessed haven of rest. The back of the house has been her metically sealed,aud be now proposes ex tending an invition to the militia regi ments of Brooklyn to come down and practice workmanship off the roof, promising to furnish a live goat for a target, and a silverplated napkin ring as the first prize. The goat still holds the fort. How They Were Taken In. This is the story as told by the Bos ton Herald : Not many weeks ago a gentleman engaged apartments at one of our fashionable family hotels. In appearance he was not preposessing, he had an unpleasant manner and an un gainly figure, and possessed none of those qualities calculated io recommend one to the gentler sex. After several days sojourn be had succeeded in mak ing himself dissagreeable to all those he came in contact with. On the elev enth day after his arrival, a middle aged and a young lady entered he ho*, tel office and registering tbeir names as mother and daughter, engaged an apart ment. Their appearance in the dining room on the morning after their arrival caused quite a sensation among the eligible young bachelors, the young la* dy proving exceedingly attractive, and before many days considerable rivalry sprang up among the young men and marriageable ones, each endeavoring to ineratitate himself in the young lady’s affections She received their atten tions with a haughty dignity and cold., ness which proved very discouraging to the less determined and faint-hearted males. Our awkward frieud, the first arrival, was amoDg the candidates for the damsel’s favor. His repeated advancements and ob trusive remarks to her brought dowu on him the justly merited ridicule of all, especially those interested, and more patticular of one young man, who was possessed of considerable wealth, and a limited supply of brains. He declared that the ugly fellow’s attentions were iu suiting to she fair lady.while the home ly member of the race thought that he was more acceptable in the young lady’s eyes than any other man in the hotel, and with a taunting boast, offered to bet the rich young man SSOO that be fore twenty-four hours he wouid be on familiar terms with the lady, and would accompany her to the theatre. Foolish as it may seem, the young Q*an took the bet, and SI,OOO were placed in the hands of the hotel clerk. True to his boast, within the prescribed time, the ugly man took the handsome woman to the Globe Thea*r<\ On returning to the hotel the clerk handed him SI,OOO. Going up stairs the lady was overheard asking, “How much was the bet ?” “One thousand dollars,” he replied “Stupid little husband,” she said, “why didn’t you double it ?” Next morning three persous had an early breakfast at that hotel, then folded their tents and stole away.
