HOOPS VS. BOOTS.
An unfeeling and ungallant ‘ wretch’ in Yroka, having
been forced off toe side-walk into foot deep mud, by the
exceeding amplitude of a fusbiouably.dressed lady’s crino
line, sends to the The librthent Journal the following
,; toorts,’ for which, as toe editor remarks, ho should be
hooped up in a nail keg and talked to death by ugly cross
old maids:
.Beautiful creature!
Von eail along the street like
A Missouri wood boat with a
Fifteen foot mast. You’re a hand
Some gal, and look amazing
Well when you’re fixed up. You
No doubt think you’re some, and .
You are. Rut in that' season of
The year when tho aqueous fluid
Is compound with terra firmp
To tho consistency of paste, you’re
Death on fellows who wear pol
Ished boots. You are said to be a
Daughter of Eve, but you don’t look any
More like your Motbor’ft.picture
Than a flour barrel does l like Shasta
- Butter. If she had dressed like you, fig
Leaves would have run out before
She got her hoops covered, and A
d im, like some husbands now
A days, went naked. When you go A
Long toe side walk yon make fellers git
Off in too mud—upset dry goods
Boxes, and maebe tear your dress
And raise thunder generally.
0 you’re a high old gal superficially
Considered, and briars, and nails, dui'
Pins can’t scratch you, and boys can’t
Hiss you, and calumny can’t hurt
You, because nothing can get to you.
May you over bo encircled by the im
Pregnable hoop of’ virtue, guarded by
Friends, have lots of lovers, and by
And by get married, but darn your
Infernal big hoop I Just look at my
Boots, you wiko spreading

THE DUTCHMAN’S EXPERIENCE.
“ Mine neighbor Wilhelm, yot youdinks

his neighbor, Yon Sweitzel, the Twelfth

<l I dink much," said Sweitzel, giving
his pipe a long whiff.
“ Veil, vot you dinks ?”
“ I comes to der conclusion that boli
tics is one big fool.”
<( Ah ! said Pete, after taking a draught
from his mug, “ how you make him dats
“ Very well, mine fren, I tell you,” re
phcd Sweitzel, .after a few. whiffs. “I
came to dis place ten years last evening,

smitshop. I build fine little houses I
puts, up mine hellers, I makes mine fire,
I heats mine iron, I strikes mit mine
hammer. I gets blenty work, aud makes
monish.”
“ Dat ish goot,” remarked Pete.
I say dat I make much friends,” con
tinued Wilhelm, relighting his pipe.—
“ Der peoples all say, Von Sweitzel bees
a goot man; he blows in der morning, he
strikes at night, and he minds his bisness.
So dey spraken to me many times, and it
mades me feel much good here,” slap
ping his breast.
“Yaw, yaw, dat ish goo ter,” remarked
Pete, who was an attentive listener. ■
** Veil, it goes long das way dree year.
Dree ? 'Let me see—-yon .year I makes

lawyer, vat makes such hurty speeches
about Farderlaud, bees agoing to run for

“ Twenty thousand I" exclaimed Peie,
thunderstruck. F
“ Yaw, twenty thousand.; Veil, I thinks
I must slhop der strikin, iand go to mine

and Shake bees elected; fori Congress.”
Here Von Sweitzel stopped, and fixing
his eye on the floor, puffed his pipe as if
in deep) thought.
“Veil, mine neighbor,” said Pete, after
waiting a due length of time for him to
resume, “ vot you do den, jeh ?”
“ Vell,* I ask. Mike, der swell-head

“Dinks! vy, you gets! him twenty

“ Vat you do den, neighbor ?”
“ I makes a fire in my placksmit shop,
I blows my own bellers again, I heat mine

FANCY DANCI
The Lacrosse Democrat ci .utions young
men who can’t dance the fancy dances not
to go to a ball with a young lady who can,
and adds a few suggestions as follows :
“If we have children, w s shall teach
them these facy dances, to |_ ihe neglect of
their catechism.. Not that tl ey will enjoy
the hopping around, first on one foot, and
then on the other, then bn loth, but they
will haVe such a good chbnoc to hug other
folks’ wives and sweethearts! That is the
secret of the dancing ! No one can ob
ject then, but if a fellow were to sit by
the side of his own wife ejven in a ball
room and hug her half as hard, well,
wouldn’t there be remarks ?] Guess not!
(We speak ironically I) Talk about go
ing to picnics, visiting weddings, going to
applecUts, sparking by moonlight, sitting
on the porch Sunday evenings, and steal
ing a kiss every time a star shoots, (that’s
the nicest game! sleighriding by the side
of a red checked girl, or eating happiness
with a gold spoon—all—all' these sink in
to insignificance when fahey' dancing
domes on. But then ! If a fellow don’t
know how, and takes to a party a pretty
girl what does; and if he has to sit on a
cold bench and see another fellow doing
the sweet Hoggings of that angelic cro£
ture that he paid histicket ihoneyfor,it’s
awful! Just to sit still and see anothef’s
arm where yours should be—head where
it should not bo, and—and—well, don't
take a girl to a fancy dancing party un
less you know all the ropes I”
.Speed of Bots’Sleds.— A friendin
fornra us that being in Middletown a day
or two since, he timed the Speed of the
boys’ sleds there, where epaating has been
a very popular amusement. T/It was on
Court street, and the inclination pretty
steep all the way to the riveri. He found
that the sleds went half a rule in eigh
teen seconds, dr nearly two mil is a minute ?
This is double the speed of the swiftest
express train. It is a sport rot unatten
ded with danger, especially when the sleds
come down across traveled i dads or city
streets. Witness, the fatal: accident in
Farmington the other day. In Middle
town, the boys would tie a string ofsleds
together, railroad-oar' fashion, and one of
these trains, in crossing a [road, came
against a two-horse team and threw both
hOrses down, the'sleds passing under the
horses in safety.-?- Hartford Times. Jan.

THE GREAT IBOH WAR STEABERw
The [ London Engineer gives the fol
| lowing interesting accnmt of the process
by which the iron plates for tho new En-v
I glish war-steamer are constructed : The
tests which were implied to the plates fur
nished by the builders of tho Warrior were
of the most trying character. Some plates
were fired at with 68-pounders, at 200
yards range, -and were literally cut in '
halves by balls, fired one after another, on
a line drawn on the surface, each ball
striking immediately below its predeces
sor. Upon some other plates the balls
made a circular indentation upon the sur
face nearly as deep, as the plates, exactly
of the form oi the projectile, as though a
mold had been taken ' of it in some soft
and yiblaing substance- It was only after
repeated trials that it was decided that the
plates should he* of annealed scrap iron.——
The labor involved in building up these
plates is enormous. In the first instance,
small swaps of iron are thrown into the
fires, and, when in a state of red heat, are
i subjected to severe uAder the
steam hammer, until tike whole is beaten '
and ainalgated into a solid mass of about
half a tun weight. This lump' is-then
placed on tho top of a similar mass, the
whole made red hot, and hammered and
welded together. Repeated Additions of
this kind are made until about five tuns of
metal are thus welded together; in one
huge, shapeless body. This is then
brought to a glowing white bent, and
placed under the huge hammer, tha thun
dering blows of which gradually reduce it
into shape. Again afid again the enor
mous slab is put into the furnace and ham- -
mored intd one piece, 18 feet long, $ feet
Wide', and 4} inches thick. From ten to a
dozen men are engaged in the work of
moving these ponderous masses of iron,;—
which are moved about apparently with "
the most perfect ease. Powerful cranes
swing the molten mass from the furnaces
to the hummer; a nicely adjusted balance
is provided by a massive iron lever, one
end of which is welded into'and forms part
of tho metal, and this is provided with a
dozen or more of horns or handles, by
which iron can be turned in any dir
rection; for the plates, are not only ham
mered on the broad surface; but at the
sides and at the top and* bottom. The
plates, after haying been roughly formed
into shape, are completely planed and
squared. Planing machines of enormous
size hug these plates in their resistless
arms, and hear them slowly and silently
under the sharp-cutting edges of the tools,
and. thin shavings of the metal, which, as
they are cutoff, coil up in long, bright
ringlets of iron, attest the tremendous
power of those noiseless and all hut om
nipotent machines. When the edges and
surfaces are made perfectly smoom, like
the finest jwork of the cabinet-maker, tho ’
plates are plated on an end, gripped firmly
by a mortizing maohice, and as they travel
slowly backward and forward m the frame
work against a small tongue of steel, a
groove of about one .inch > in width and
depth is formed, into which the corres
ponding projections formed on the side of
another plate will fit with the most per
fect the plates all being made to
dovetail on each of the four sides.; ■ , ;
