Bluffs, lowa, for a uonsideration per
week a trifle less than one third the value
of the whole institution; and desiring
on one occasion to be up in time to get
an early breakfast, he conceived the
glorious idca of inventing a machine
something between a perpetual motion
and a steam press which Brick i'omeroy
had once sold us at three times itrvalue;
hence it was a success. Before giving
so the unfeeling readers of the IVatchman
the medic, operandi of constructing the
simple yet beautiful contrivance alluded
I to, it is proper tc say, by way of intre
doclioo, that the Pacific (louse at Coun

real "live" hotel—live with bedbugs!

for hash and slope at the matte meal, we
should not be unfeelingly suspected of
' having been "above" it front any wick

stomach. This4ict is, after each night's
tussle with a thousand or two of those

the mornings, we were usually greatly
reduced In volume, and enjoyed a (cei
ling of pious resignaticn, as though we
should like to go "up the spout" and be
la sweet little angel with leather wings.
But we stood this till bedbug geese
verenceceased Co be a joke, and we resol
ved to wake up or die. Awl now for the
ingenious contrivance which did alkshat
was expected of it. Before venturing
into our room, we secured two tumlts, it
coil of rope, a navy revolver, six copies
of n political tract - entitled tttitiind up
for Jinks!" a deck of cards, a copy of
the "Saint's Rest," a btishel of 'beaten
bricks, an accordeon, and a lithogrilibio
impression of the child's prayer, CUM
-111/0101I1g "Now I lay me d to sleep
hope (he' hugs from me will keep," which
tatter we whistled by Cute. We then
fastened one end of the rope to the bed
post, taking a turn in it about the waist,
parsing tt three tunes around our neck,
the other end was baited with a piece of
11.1 f eo liver, well peppered and
sab. , d, and n u t out of the wintlew, we
then stepped on tip too to the window,
turned a somersault out et it, so us catch
an the sill of the window below by our
'teeth and toe nails; then in and through
the ladies' parlor, where we a , ,ionisheil
a green cough: courting, then we passed
back to the pastry cook's, ate four pies
(likes, and took a (urn about her. We
then imme'dtately returned to our
' by way of a Sue, over the roof,
down a ladder, and to "plageMf begin
ning We then unrobed our Adonis-like
form, dressy up the brooms to our elm
gent habilitnents, pants, coat and bat,
I r a the effigy on a balatiet , on tht4dge
of the table, at it_Qeltue of 15 degrees,
spread out the '•Stand up" tract and
opened the —Saint's (test' book on the
table, laid-the accordeon beside it, and
the deck of earths opposite This MeC.l7l-
mods.u „ qa for our companion.' being made
perfect% Plnd agreeable, we proceeded to
the bed, toot off the three-ounce leother
bed and stuffed it in the key bole to stop
draft, leaned the broken chair against
a splinter; took the revolver in our teeth,
a bowie knife grasped firmly by the hi t t
toe of each foot, and both e'er hands
full of bricks The light out, we then
cautiously approached our bed, made a
feint of getting in it; but we etirhi't: we
slid under it and all was still.
Morning came —aviolent jerk' The
w h o l e contrivance was a success. Dog,
below, had swallowed the liver, tried to
cough it up, got sick, started home mad,
pulled the tope, and our head nearly off.
We awoke: but what woe Ahat which
tilled our soul with wonder? Before us
see sawing on the edge of the table, was
the broom effigy, inhabited by about two
thousand D. B.'s, enjoying themselves
in evety eonoievable way—some playing
whist, others the accordeott; while the
more pious were either reading the
"Saint's Rest," the "Oland up for J.'.
tract, or were singing the doxology with
great fervor, 'nod "things was workin."
The whole, as the realer has plainly
seen, was a perfect suocess. The bed
bugs, m i rstakitig the broom effigy for
"the undersigned." bad been busy all
night with it, and 'we were left strength
enough to answer the call of the dog
