C, THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 6, 185T Whole number 1213 1 y S ! MISCELLANY. TOE GREASED POLE. Shoving How Zeke Fhilvi got Surkcd in, and . and then Again how he Didn't. ... EzckicI Philot was : bora in Arperica, somewhere near the head waters of the Penobscot, and when he arrived at the age of nineteen he had got his growth and 'cut his eye teeth, a "Circumstance which was generally admitted by nil who knewyhini. One bright morning in June, Zeke placed his long body in a - clean hirt, run i.long legs through a pair of stripped trowsers, wrapped a span Dew waistcoat about his breast, hauled up his stiff cotton dickey and tied a checked gingham about his neck, and then donned his swallow tail ed coat, the brass buttons of which looked like a row of newly risen stars, Zeke was literally a pioneer in the 'Bloomer costume,' t least one would have thought o to see him as he now stood. He disdained to hiFA hie rAwoaro Tatc i)innTini m f ha mini or to have (he cuff of his coat slopping in the wash bowl, so his blue stockings peep-" eiTforth from beneath the tops, of his cow hides that looked full six. inches to the irowser bottoms, while his bony wrists had free scope from either shirt sleeve or cuff Zeke's hair, which was of no color in par ticular, but bore all the lighter shades of the vegetable kingdom, was down flat with pure bear's ile, and directly on the' top of his head he put a white hat, somewhat re sembling an inverted butler firkin, and af ter gazing at bis presentiment in the look ing glass for four and a half minutes, was heard to say: ; ! Thar, Mr. Zeke, Philpot, if you don't slide on that, then I guess what ain't what, that's all P ! 1 ". Zeke was bound for Boating, wiih a load of genuine apple sass, and he expected, ere he returned, to make a slight commotiou, if not more, in the great metropolis. The old mare was harnessed, and in due course of time Zeke and his Toad arrived is Bos ting, where the 'sass'. was disposed of to (rood advantage, and with, seventy five dol lars in his pocket, our hero began to look around to see the sights. -r 'Hel-lo I' exclaimed Zeke, as he stopped one morning before a blazing placard, which adorned one of the back walls '.in Flag Alley; 'what'n tarnation's that! A Golden Ladder a Road to Fort-u-n-e oh, fortin, that'sit a road to fortin. . . 'Zeke went on to decypher the reading beneath, and gradually he gained the in telligence that on Back Bay there was to be a pole twenty feet high, and upon the top of which the proprietor would place a prize, of $200, to be obtained by any one who could obtain it. Chances $3. . 'Well, tew hundred dollars is some' pun kins soliloquized Zeke. 'I've dumb pooty skinny trees in my day.' I'll just walk in to that feller's tew hundred, rot me ef I JeoinL 1 'With this feeling of cupidity, Zeke star ted for the scene of action,' and 'twas not till he had run down a dozen ; apple wo men that he remembered h;s entire ignor ance of where Black Bay might be, and when this information was gained, he ap peared to remember that the 'old mare' had n'r been seen to. Zeke was economical in his horse keep ing. He hired a single stall in a small shed near the Providence depot, bought his own bay and took care of his own ani mal. IThitber he hastened his steps, and having fed and watered bis beast, he took from bis wagon box an old wool card and raked down the mare in the most approved manneV. To be sure the steel teeth moved a little more harshly over the bones than iisuaJ, but then Zeke was in a hurry, for that 'few hundred' was in his eye. At length by dint of much inquiry Mr. Ezekiel Philpot found his way to a spot where the people had already began to , collect around the 'Golden Ladder.' 'Hal-low !' exclaimed Zeke, as be came up, 'whar's the chap wot keeps this ere pole?.--, ::,;:,r,t:-.-'w ' I am the man,' answered a burly fellow, with a red nose and a pimpled chin, who occupied a chair : irear. the pole. 'Want to try a chance ? Walk up, gentlemen, walk up only three dollars ! Who wants the two hundred V 'Hold on, ole feller, interrupted Zeke ; 'dew yer mean to say as heow there's tew k- hundred dollars in that 'ere bag upt' the top t o' that pole T 'Certainly. An' if I ken- get it it's mine f You can have a chance for three dol lars, Mr. Zeke.' . Zaclly. Walj'now, there's yer three .dollars, and neow here's what goes for the hull lot.' Zeke divested himself of his coat, roll ed up his shirt sleeves, and giving a-pow-. erful leap grasped the pole about ten feet from the ground. A single second no longer he staid there ; and then slipped back on terra Grma. Zeke looked at his ' hands, and then down upon his striped "trowsers. Then he looked at his hands again ; and raising them up to his nose, while a deep, long smell seeme'd to set his , doubts and queries at rest,' be uttered : , - The deuce f f Hog's fat, by thunder !' A broad laugh from the crowd soon . brought Zeke to his senses, and convinced him that, he had .. been sold. ? But ere he could find his tongue again an old . salt, , . nbout-' three sheets in the wind, paid for kia chance and essayed to climb the pole. The sailor hugged half-way up, and then , , Jie slid. The crowd lau-hed again, but ,.r this time their attention was turned from - Zeke tovthe new aspirant, and after wait log a moment m a sort of brown study our heroqiuetly slipped away, remarking to the red-nosed man, he was goin to git three dollars more, and he'd be darned of . he din't try it asaia I . In an hour Zeke was again upon the ground, i .r - ' -, Keow ole feller,' said he to the man -who took the- entrance money. I want . tew try that 'ere thing wunst more, an I ; , want yew understand, 'ot I shall jia' iake off my shews this time.' s ... , Got nothing in you stocking?' suggest ed the red nosed man. 's Nothin but my fecf retorned Zeke, as he planted thirteen inches of flesh and bone into the lap of the querist, Zeke paid his three dollars, and mi nus coat, vest and ."shews," he grasped the pota Slowly, yet steadily he crept up from the ground. He hugged like a blood-sucker to the greased pole, and by degrees he neared the top. His hand was within a foot of the bag of dollars, and he stopped to get his breath. One more lift, and then another, . and the prize was within his grasp. Zeke slid to the earth with two hundred dollars. "Thar ! know'd I could dew it. 1 hain't clum spruces and white maples all my days for nothin' ! Good bye, folks, an' If en uy of yeoti ever cum djtnwn past ? kt vnv lis st' alL ' V. r i t fZeke left the crowd In wonder, 'and made ; the best of his" way to the stable He shut the door of the shed, and then pulling up his trowsers, he untied from the inside of each knee one-half of the steel toothed leather of his old horse card ! . . . , 'Wall, old Dobbin,' said Zeke;" patting the mare affect iouately on the back, while he held the pieces of card leather in his hand, the, scattering teeth of which had been - filed sharp, rather a new guess l Ken lord to buy yeou keard now. : AFFECTING BEREAVEMENT. Oii last Wednesday a newly married couple stopped at the Spencer House, intending to remain for a day or two, and then proceeded to the residence of the bridegroom, Mr. J. Dorst, in Circle- ville.: The bride, whose name was Mis s Curtiss, and whose relatives resided in Marietta, was apparently in the best of health and spirits.. After dinner she complained of a slight headache, but at night-fall this had passed of She retir ed to rest as usual, and about 1 1 o'clock roused her husband with some incohe rent remark about his having sent for a dafetor, and in a few moments she was a corpse. Dr. Danbridge was sent for. and was promptly m attendance, but the htdy died soon after his arrival. The singular and sudden demise indu ced the holding of a post mortem exam ination, which showed that death had beeu caused by apoplexy. Mrs. Dorst as a lady- oi considerable personal at tractions, and much amiability, and has left a large circle of fri nds to mourn her sudden decease. -Cen: Times. AN INGENIOUS SWINDLER. Baltimore, Dec 3. -A few days since a gentleman residing on Charles stjeet, had sent home to him a pair ol new pants.- Immediately upon their de livery a well-dressed man applied at the door for them, stating that they had been sent in mistake, and were not the ones designed for him, but that he had called to procure and change them, . and would at once, if they -were delivered, to him, send the proper ones home. Thinking all right, the gentleman ordered his ser vant to deliver them up, but no others coming to hand he called upon the tai lor,, who was astonished at his inqui ries, inasmuch as his boy had been sent home wflh them and upon the boy being called, he verified the statement, stating further that he had been met on the -way by a man who endeavored to get possession ot the pants upon a plea of being the ' one who had ' ordered them, but that he had refused to give them to him, knowing he was not the party for whom they were made. From this it appears that the mad then followed him to the house, and in the manner stated succeeded in accomplishing his object, notwithstanding his first failure. I - ' Sun. Mr. Ericsson is reported to be still enga ged in his caloric enterprise. His new ca loric engine is forty horse power, and, com pared with its i predecessors, has been greatly simplified, and its cumbrous parts dispensed with, not only avoiding friction and diminishing expense, but effecting a great saving in space. Formerly ther were four cylinders with duplicates placed above them on pumps. The latter are done away with under the new arrangement j CULPABLE OA RLESSN ESS. I On Wednesday forenoon, the work men in McKay's ship yard at East Bos ton, Mass., were startled by the whiz zing of a shell overhead, which hurried itself in the ground close by, scattering the earth in all directions, as it burs ted. It is supposed the .shell wis fired from the navy yard, but, wherever it came from, the faring of a dangerous missile of that kind, shows a shameful disregard of the public safety. - LIME!
