O. Crescent "Hear Undertakes to Keep Hotel City Hotel, N. O., " ' . - May 20, '6S, J "IIV a pretty good fellow but he can't keep hotel' is an old expression but a good one. Laying no claims to being a "clever feller," I nevertheless thought I could 'keep hotel,' so I hired the oue above named for one uay, anu iriea my nana at n. 1 am not keeping any hotel any more, it isn't niy Mortc edzactly. I think I can do better at newspaper writing, or picking up in chips in a ship yard, or scouring knives a'id forks. However humiliating thd con ft'Kssiou may be, I will tell you of some of my experience during the day and night I undertook to run a hotel. I arose early in the morning, put on my .Sunday go-to-meeting' clothe, a span new. biled white shirt with frills, my diamond pin which I bought of 'the original JV .cob..44 a new scarf with all the colors of the rainbow, and boots that reflected my face. In this garo I went behind the counter. Up stepped a man to register, and Hetthitn put his name down. I asked him if he had any baggage, and he said "I should think so, you milksop!44 He point ed to a trunk which it took two potters to carry up stairs. I ascertained afterwards that he stayed two weeks in the hotel on that trunk, aod then left. The trunk was aold jut auction, and was found full of bricks anil lightwood. Hut I obeyed tho Bible injunction: He was a stranger and I- lAokJiiiQ in. I , That ain4t all. He took me in! The next that came to get a room was A colored member of the legislature. I told him we kept a white man's hotel and couldn't accommodate him. He got in dignant, and asked me 'if I went back on the Constitution which guarantied equal rights tu all.4 I told him I had never read it. H opened his carpet bag, took out a bound copy of the wine and told me to refuse biur a room if I dared. I dared, tad he went to U. S. commissioner Shan non right off, Rather than shed the blood of a man with whom I had fought, bled anil died for my country, and to have .my license revoked, I was obliged to give the colored gentleman a room, "all of which is respectably submitted.4' The result was a row, in which all of my old boarders re fused longer to eat hash in my house, no matter how fine had it chewed up. Then come another who was dissatisfied with his room. So I rung the bell several times, when op come the porter, cook, watchman, baggage master and 2 or 3 bell boys. I told them to remove John Smith's baggage from $5 to 87. They did i t.!

I got in a huff. I rung for the porter, and rung so many times it broueht the cook. I wanted the watchman, but called the chambermaid. I sent baggage up Red River that ought to have gone to Mobile, and sent the owner of it off on the Jackson Railroad ! I got the baggage out of a lady's room and sentjit off with a Texan to - Gal veston, and when he got there, he had no thing but an extra bonnet, a hoop skirt, two sets of corsets and some a change! The Texan threatens to lasso me the next time he catches me. In the evening, among the other guests at tea,-was a raw Frenchman, who could not speak English. He wanted a waiter to bring him something, and so he sung out 44 Garcon, xarcoA!" and beckoned with his finger. The waiter came up, and he came up, and he, repeated it "srarconT1 The waiter, who was ot noble birth (from Lim erick), looked up at the gas-light and ex claimed, indignantly, "There's gars on now; what d'ye want of any more gars on V The Frenchman "didn't see it in that light!" Of course he appealed to me, and as I talk French fluidly (having learned it in the French market), I explained to him that my waiters' did not understand French, out they wera tame on' "Greek!" The Frenchman thought I referred to Greek fire and that myj servants were all Fenians, and so he left without paying his bill. I begun to get furious, and as I didn't care to attack anybody bigger than I was, I commenced on my boy Sidney, and threw all the blame on ,him. But my guests were so uncharitable and mean as to say chat I "didn't know mr business," and I "better go to Algiers and go to settin. hens for. a livin,4' or "driviti geese to water," and all such unchivalric (Suggestions. When I went through tho pantry and other places, the fellahs sung out jto me to "pay my footin," until X had a notion of footin every one of 'cm. Then, somebody stole the key to tne wine room, and everybody got drunk. The chamber-maids got on a "strike," and the bar-keepers got on a strike, too, and "struck out from the shoulder." A man from the country, who occupied one of the rooms, blew his gas out and died on my hands without a cent to bury him with .A slop Jonet and IndV. and J ill,..

There is a lesson Vfor' us here. The mightiest work in the Uni verse is InBmostunpbtrusive. Foreign Customs. We clip the follow- ing irom a lecture recently delivered on street life in Europe: 'A man run wnlt through the capitals of Europe and learn much that he would not otherwise learn. One thing that is noticeable in the streets of Europe is the greater independence or individuality of the people. In America public opinion rules everything. Men here think before they speak, and then speak in accordance with public sentiment. In England one will find a degree of blunt ness that will often be thought uncourte ous. There is the same independence in dress. In seven cases out of ten a man's occupation can at once be found from his attire, in Europe. In this country it is not so. j In passing the guard at Paris he had a cap on. The guard told him he could not pass, because none but servants wore caps, and he only got admission after he had assured the man that he had a hat at home. There is in Europe more frankness than in this country. In America people desire to avoid what they call a 'scene.' He had seen a father, in Boston, in separa ting at the cars from his daughter, refuse to kiss hor when she asked him, because the bystanders would see it. But in Paris he had seen whole crowds of people buried in kisses.' r- A reporter having dined with some friends, attended a lecture afterwards and favored the public afterwards .with the following report; "The lecture last evening was a brilliant affair. The hall ought to have been filled, but we are sorry to say only forty persons were present. The speaker commenced by saying that he was by birth an ecclesiasti cal deduction; gave a learned description of Satan, and his skill in sawing trees. Among other things he stated that the Pa triarch Abraham taught Cecrops arithme thic. We trust the eloquent divine may be induced to repeat the lecture at some future day," What tho Lecturer said to the Re porter: Dear Sir In a report of my lecture In your beautiful city, you have made some mistakes, which I wish to correct. You make me speak of myself as by birth an 'ecclesiastical deduction.' What I said was, that I was not by birth, but only ec clesiastically, a Dutchman. Instead of speaking of Satan as 'sawing trees' I spoke, of him as sowing tares. I said nothing of tho 'Patriarch Abraham teaching arithme tic" but spoke of the Arabians, as nomades of patriarchal simplicity, and said that Ce crops was the founder, of Athens, and in structed the people in agriculture.

EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY. , Not many years ago two Frenchmen, one wealthy and in the possession of ready cash, and the other poor and penniless, occupied, by chance, the same room in a hotel. In the morning the 'seedy' one arose first, took from his pocket a pistol, and holding it to his own forehead, and -backing against the door, exclaimed to 'his terrified companion: It is my last desperate resource; I am pen niless and tired of life! givo me five hun dred francs, or I will instantly blow out my brains, and yoa will be arrested as a mur derer! The other lodger found himself the hero of an unpleasant dilemma, but the cogency of his companion's argument struck him 'cold.' He quietly crept to his pantaloons, handed over the amount, and the other vamosed, after locking the door on the outside. Hearing of this, another Frenchman, of very savage aspect, one night tried to room with a tall, raw-boned gentleman of Arkansas, who had been ra ther free with his money during the day, and evidently had plenty mora behind. Next morning, Pike' awakening, discover ed his room-mate standing over him with a pistol levelled at his own head, and evi dently quaking with agitation. 'What the deuce are you standin' thar for in the cold? said Pike, propping himself on his elbow, and coolly surveying the Gaul. I am des perate!' was the reply. You give me one hundred dollar, or I will blow out my brain!' Well, then, blow and bo darned!' replied Pike, turning over. 4Bot you will be arrested for ze murdaire! persisted the Gaul, earnestly. 4Eh, what'a that?' said Pike. Oh, I see!' and suddenly drawing a revolver and a fivepound bowie from un der his pillow, ho sat upright. A man may as well be hung for a sheep as a Iamb,' he coolly remarked; and at the word he started for the Gaul. But the latter was too nimble; for the 'boss-pistol,' innocent of lead, exploded in the air, and with one frantic leap our little Frenchman was stand ing in his night-robe at the foot of the stair case a proof that what will suit one lati tude will not answer for another. Dr. wants to know if you'll please to pay this bill now?' Old gentle man looks over the items, and replies: 4Tell Dr. I'll pay him for his medi cines, and return his visits.' uicxopeoines in his private apartments ru.i,uuwn 0,1(1 Uu'n His repast is of the most modest kind and m,,,crs wo take them lL T 1 ... v WIWUIV i aiways enas with a sweetmeat of which Tam M,,PS are built, t oil Italians are fond.

It isfctaled that a German lawmaker has recently made a remarkable d He has invented a telescope, or mnrrnifvincT gltfis, by means of which the most jntricato nerv es and vessels inside of the body may be seen lro.7 tI-' outside. In fact the whole arrangement anu1 action of the interior or gans may, by means of thisgksj, be distin guished. The discovery wiii' probably be of immense benefit to mankind, as by means of it the physician will be able to tell, with unvarying accuracy, the nature of any par ticular disease, and the proper manner for treating the same. The name of the inven tor, who will probably realize a fortune from his discovey, is Gottleib Juntz. He is very poor, but a well-read and highly in telligent man. He has an aged mother an invalid wife, six children and a blind sister, all dependent upon him for support. His mother was well acquainted with the poet Goethe.'and it was probably her many anec dotes of this illustrious person which first inspired her son to do something to win the respect and esteem of his fellow men, Tho glass hehtsmade probably placeshlm among the first rank of inventors, and wins for him the esteem o(who!e nations. By means of this invention he has already cured his wife. Six months ago a well known doctor said she cruld not live, and pronounced her dis- ease an atlection ot the heart. Juntx has however proven to Mm, by tne aid of his wonderful telescope, that he was entirely mistaken the stomach being the part af- lecieu. A Cockney Rigut for Oxce. An Englishman stepped into Jin apothecary store not five thousand miles off, one fine morning, to make a small purchase, follow ed by a valuable dog. While the master was busy before tne counter, the dog, keen on a sceut behind it, discovered and speed ily swallowed some meat heavily dosed with strychnine, left thera for the benefit of troublesome rats. The proprietor of tho store perceived the fatal mistake of tho animal too late to prevent it, and hasti ly waited on his master, hoping be would leave before the denouements but the poi son worked quicker than the apothecrry, and in a moment or two Fido was no more. 4 Was he subject to fits?' inquired the phar maceutist, with an innocent expression of anxiety on his face. 0h no replied the Cockney. 4he never had a fit before, and now (dropping the h) I think it was the eat of the store The apothecary rather thought it wat, but kept siliot New Bed ford Mereary, I NO. 115.
