IJeiS) PATXE i CO. A Lat in the Cam?A Fat Woman in Trov ; ~,-\d^ or two smce. jnst after the express tram left Stamford, where it had been delayed a few minutes, to wood and water, a rat ran from onq corner of the car amidst the feet of tho passengers. As soon as it was known thatthere was a rat on the floor of Ihe car, considerable cscitemeut took place among the ladies, and crinoline took a sadden rise. The passengers struck at the' rat, as he dodged from one side of the carto the other, with their umbrellas nnd canes but wjUiout any.effect?the old rat suc cessfully avoided all the kicks and thrusts, and disappeared under the seat of a Tit woman who sat at onfe end of the car, half asleep. A "com mittee of one," . self-appointed, backed up bv halfa dozen "full grown toys," suggested to the tat lady, the propriety of rising to enable them to find the rat. Now, it is fib easy matter for a two hundred and fifty pounder, encumbered by a huge mass of crinoline, to rise at a moments notice, there fore, she declined. She was duly informed of the state of affairs and of the critical position which she occupied irl the eyes of the public, at that moment. Again she was requested to rise but she positively refused?like certain distin guished politicians, she seemed determined to maintain her position,.till a broader and more comprehensive platform was available. Various suggestions as to the rat's whereabouts were made by ''the boys1' in audible whispers which made the fat woman * "Blush like a.full blown rose." and to get her eyes open. Many of the passen gers seemed to have an idea of their own, which was quite, amusing?lips Were compres sed?cheeks expanded?teeth, worth from twenty-five-dollars to untold fortunes, were ex hibited? "There was silence deep as death And the boldest held his breath Fcr a time/* But that time was decidedly short, for at this point, the lady in question gave a roll which made the car fairly groan, one or two spasmodic kicks, and the two hundred and fifty pounder shot out of her seat like a skyrocket, upsetting' babies and bandboxes, crushing crinolines and beavers, landing about six feet from her seat upon a litile old main, whom she nearly smoth ered, besides knocking off his wig and other wise disarranging his toilet?upon which he re marked to himself, that she had better "simmer ujoin the circus. After vigorously shaking her dress, amidst the laughter of the passengers, she regained her seat, and the huge mass of crinolines commenced to settlo to its proper place, and quiet once moro restored, when one of "the boys," whose mirtlifulness must be somewhat largely developed, burst out into "liorse laugh." The effect was like a spark in a magazine, the Whole car exploded and tne fat woman joined in and laughed as hearty as tho merriest. Her jolly old sides shook up and down and the car springs vibrated, keeping exact time. But what become of the rat is a question.?Ihirtford Timet,.' Dlek Uniy. Speech. Feller citizens and hosses: This is a day for the poperlation of this destrick, like a bob tailed chicken on a rickety hen-roost, to be lookin' up. A crisis have arriv'and somethin's bust! Whar are we? Heie I is, and I'd stand here and ex pirate from now till the day of synagogues if you d whoop for Daly. Feller Citizens: Jerusalem's to pay an' we haint got any pitch. Our hyperbolical and ma jesty canal of creation has unshipped her rud der, an1 the captain's broke his neck, and the cook s div down to the depth of the mighty deep in search ot dimuns. Our wigwam's torn to pieces, like a shirt on-a. brush .fence, and cities in this ere latitude is vanishing in a blue (lame. Are such things to be did? I ask you in the name of the American Eagle, who whipped the s',a?{?y headed lion, and now sits on the magnet teleeraph, if such doings is to be conglomerated? I repeat to yon *n the name of the peacock of Liberty, when he's flown over cloud-capped sum" of the Rocky Mountains, is we goin* to be ex temporaneously biggogged in this fashion? "Oh! answer hip, Let me not blush in ignorance." As Shakespeel says. Shall we bo bamboo zleficd with such unmitigated unconsciousness? Methinks I hear you yelp?"No, sir, hossfly." Then lect me to Congris an there'll be a revolu tion sartin. Feller Citizens: If I was standin' on tho ada mantine throne of Jupiter, and tholightnin' was fl?shin' round ine, I'd continue to spout. I'm full o' bilin' hot lather from Mount Etny, an* I won't be quenchedl Ive sprung a leak, and must howl like a bar with a sore bead. Flop together?jump into ranks an' hear me thru. Feller Citizenii: You know me, and rub me out Willi a mill garb if I won't stick to you like brick dust to a bar of soap. Whar's my oppo nent? He s^ 110 wharl I was brought up among ye, feller citizens, and papped in a school house, but they can't git round, me with their hifalutin big words. Hictum, strictum, nlbranto, catnip, Brazel, Englooney and Boffin's Boa?b-0-0-0-0? What d'ye think o' that? "Gb it porker?root hog or die." as Shakespeel said when Caesar stabbed him in the House of Representatives. Feller Citizens: 'Lcct me to Congris an' I'll abolish mad dogs, musketeers, bad cents au' bad whisky, and go in for the annihilation of niggers, camp-meetin's and jails. I'll repudiate crow and fustidgen hawk. I'll have poler ployin' every day, Sunday excepted, and liquor enough to swim in. Yes, feller citizens, 'lect me to Congris an' I shall be led to exclaim in the sublime, the terrific language of Bonapore, when, preachin in the wilderness, "Blchard's himself again." On, then, onward to the pols?gallop apace, ye fiery-footed steeds, and make the welkin ring' with anti-spasmodic yells for Daly. "Hence, ye brote*, broad-ar and glory." Fkjghtfi-i. Effects of a Tout Exsemble ! A man out west, in describing the blowing up of a steamboat the other day, says the "lout en umMe, was enough to shake the stoutest heart" We always thought that it was the "biters" that done the business. A chap sought shelter of a Boston officer.? tee, Cap 11, first roy father'died, and my moth er married again; an' then my mother died, and my father married again; an' somehow or other, some way I don't seem to have no parent at all, nor home, nor no nothing."
