G THE DAILY EVKfllNO TELEGRAPH--PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JUNE G, 1871. FUN FROM HARPER'S "DRAWER." To one of the most distinguished of liv ing American comedians the "Drawer" ia in debted for tha following: In consequence of some difSoultyin arriv ing at an amicable conclusion in reference to poliiieal matters, in a Western bar-room, one of the parties, in the nsnal knife dispute that ensued, L i his intestines cut out. A learned M. D. wre had been called in stated the extent of toe injury done in learned techni calities, peppered with membranes, carlilsges, epigastriums, etc., to an extent ao overpower ing that one of his auditors, horrified at the description, rushed ont, and meeting a friend, who asked him, "Is Jim muoh hurt If" replied, "Hurt! Yon bet he's hurt. Why, uil Vie Latin part of his botccis is clean out " That the schoolmaster is Tory much abroad in some portions of onr common country may be interred from the following notice, which a correspondent saw at the post office, in Montgomery, Alabama. It is an extract from the printed circular of an educator who proposed opening nn evening school: "Americans, recollect that it was by noc turnal lucubrations that your own immortal Franklin made the lightning of heaven sub servient to his will, and with his fragile arm confined in the gauzy shreds of a handker chief that subtile yet irresistible fluid that rent asunder the giant oaks of your primeval forests and mocked mortal man in all his wonted strength by frittering into atoms the most impregnable fabric of his inventive genius. , "Teacher." Concerning the "Form of Solemnization of Matrimony, as it is called in the Episco pal Church, or the "Sacrament of Marriage," in the Church of Rome, or simply the "Mar , riage Contract," as it is entitled in the com mon law of the State, there seems to obtain in the State of Nebraska some sort of nuptial arrangement peouliar to that region. So, at least, we infer from the following advertise ment in one of the organs of publid opinion publibhed in Dakota City: HON. K. W. FK1ZER, Probate Judge, and ex-offlclo Justice of the Peace, with jurisdiction or cases below I3U0. Office corner of Broadway and Thirteenth street. Judge Fracer la empowered to perform the mar riage contract between parties of the opposite $ex who are legally eligible to the Important state. Dakota City, Nebraska, August 6th, 1870. The temporary inconvenience frequently experienced by gentlemen who give them selves up to the enjoyment of afavorite beve rage was recently illustrated in Stewart county, Tennessee, where a prosperous old farmer named Knmfeldt had a habit of attend ing regularly the County Court at Dover, but who stldom turned his face homeward until he had swallowed more whisky than his skin could well hold or his legs oould conveniently carry. On one occasion he got on bis level early, and about the middle of a hot July afternoon started for home. He had not gone far, however, when he was seized with an uncontrollable desire to take a nap. lie dis mounted from his horse, turned him loose to graze, and rolled himself into a fenoe corner. He was Bleeping very sweetly when he was espied by a buzzard which was sailing about the vioinity, hunting for something to eat. Smaller and smaller grew his circles, cau tiously taking observations. At last, but still in some doubt, the bird, lit on the ground near its expected feast. About this time Humfeldt became aware that something was going on, and he partially opened one eye and saw the buzzard, but still too drunk to take any active measures to drive it away. He, however, kept a close watch. The buz zard strutted around him, all the time in specting Rumfeldt closely and cautiously to ascertain positively that he was dead. He finally became satisfied that the corpus before him was indeed a carcass, and, consequently, "his meat;" whereupon he advanced delibe rately to Ilumfeldt's head and gave him a severe peck in the face. This aroused Ilum feldt, and striking out lazily with his, hand to prevent a repetition of the attack, he ex claimed, "Look 'ere; you're a 1-e-e-tle too smart I ain't dead yet. A bright young priest of the lloman Catholic Church relates to the Drawer an in stance of the naiveness and self-confidence of an Amerioan firl, who, just before the reoent revolution in the Holy City, was pre sented to the Pope. Of course she was charmed with the simple and benignant man ner of the Pontiff, and, gathering confidence as the conversation proceeded, finally said: "I think that the people of the United States are the most religious people in the world." "Why so, my child?" mildly asked the Pope. "Because," answered the young lady, "they have more denominations" His Holiness smiled a little smile, but evinced no desire to discuss the proposition. During the late unpleasantness an impor tant part of naval detail between vessels of the same squadron was necessarily dene by signal. One of the humorous results of this signal way of doing things, as it occurred when a part of one of our squadrons was lying oil Edenton, North Caroliaa, is related by a naval officer, as follows: A message was sent from the shore to Captain Maoomb, commander of the fleet, announcing that the ceremony of public baptism would be per formed at two o'clock. The captain, ever cour teous and considerate, supposed that some of his officers might wish to witness this little episode in the tedious monotony of block ading, and directed that the fact sheuld be communicated by signal to the other vessels. The naval signal-book was forthwith brought out and searched, but the word "baptism" was not to be found. Here was a quandary, and time was rapidly passing, but the captain was not to be foiled. The quartermaster of the watch was set to work, and in a few minutes the Lright-oolored signal-flags of the Shamrock were at the mast-head, and ' the astonished officers of the other ships read: "There will be 'religious diving' on shore at 2 r. h. We doubt the aoonracy of the statement of that prejudiced New England man wuq said that he "ledged the most pwin train that run into 'SLecawgo' was the one that stopt fifteen minits for divorce." If anything cpuli justify such a supposition it might be the popularity in that region of such little emana tions of genius as tee following: WHEN YOIB CH8AP DIVOKCK IS GRANTED, "When your cheap divorce It granted, Mother, anu you levs the West, Shm I stay with yoa or falser? Tell me, mother, which the bstt He'll b much surprised, 1 fear nve, When lie knows what you have Hied, And uult4 jou hover n ar me He'll auropiUte your child.
