Stepping up to them, I said: "Why, Jones, what in the deuce are you doing with this girl ?" The girl rose hastily and seated her self on the seat. W. 11. WOODS, .ATTORNEY" AT LA Jr; Llus TIM M; ..P4? "Sce, here, stranger," said the fellow, "yon are a mite mistaken i my name ain't Jones." "Why, Jones," said I, "you certainly haven't left your wife and children, and tried to palm yourself off for a single man, have you ?" "I tell you my name - ain't Jones ; it's Harper. It never was Jones—•tain't going to be, nuttier." I merely shook my head and passed on to another seat to see the rest of the fun. About the time the couple got feeling all right again, in came Elliott Gregg. Walking up to Harper, he ac costed Lim with— CA "Why; Jones, you hero? How did you leave your wife and babies ?" "Now see here, stranger, you ain't the rust man that's called me Jones to day, an' I reckon I must look awfully like him, but I ain't Jones, and moro'n that, you mustn't call me Jones. hain't got a wife nor babies either; but this ere gal an' me is going to splice, and then you can talk about my wife, and I wouldn't wonder but what, in course of time, you might talk about babies, too; but you musn't call me Jones l" This retort brought forth vociferous laughter from the spectators, and it also brought blushes to tho face of the girl that "was goin' to be spliced." "Ab, Jones," said Gregg, you'll re gret this' in the future. t pity your wife and this poor girl." "So, Mr. Harper, your real name is Jones, is it? and you've been fooling mo, have you ? Well, we ain't spliced yet, and I don't think we shall be very soon," said the girl, and her eyes flashed fire. "Jane, Jane!" said Harper, "don't you know I'm Bill Harper ? Thar ain't a darned drop of Jones blood in me, an' I'll prove it." At this moment, Jeff. Jackson, Bill Steevers, and Jonn Bayers entered, and of course, their attention was called to Harper by his loud talking. They stepped up to him, arid said— "WV, Jones, what is all this fuss about?" This was more than Harper could stand. He leaped upon a seat. "Now," said he, my "name is not Jones, an' X can lick the fellow that says it is."' By this time wo had got to H., and our friend Fred came into the ear and got Harper to keep quiet. The girl that wouldn't bo "spliced" requested Fred to help her on the train that was going back to S., which he did, and the notorious Jones, alias Harper, followed her. We learned•, afterward, that ho proved himself to be Bill Harper in stead of Bill Jones, and ho and his gal Jane got "gplieed." Da'"Well, Jim, how did you make it down South ?" "First-rate.

At 12.45 this morning, smoke was seen issuing from the third floor of the building No, 538 - Broadway; . which, to gether with No. 541, comprised Bar num's American Museum. Tke smoke was first seen curling put of the win dow casing in the extreme southern end of the building, and was soon fol lowed by a light body of flame, which was perceived by the reflection on the window panes. Some passers-by on the opposite side of the street obser ving this became . convinced that the place was on fire. They at once gave an alarm, which was quickly commu nicated to . Firemen's hall and tho Eighth Precinct Station House, both of which are situated on Illereor street, in the rear of the Museum. The fire alarm bolls rang- out signal "2," but, unfortunately, a few minutes previously an alarm had sounded for a fire at the corner of Spring and ,Renwick streets, and the apparatus in the - immediate vicinity were present at the other fire. Owing to this truly lamentable circum stance, aggravated by the fearfully bad condition of the streets, the fire gained such terrible headway that the destruction of the entire building was insured. A number of - policethen from the Eighth andFourteenthPreeincts,whoin the alarm bad attracted to the spot, aided by a still larger number of citi zen volunteers, forced open the doors of the birilding on Broadway and rush ed into. the place to arouse the inmates and save them from destruction. They wore found asleep on ono of the upper floors of the building in total ignorance of the approaching danger. They wore aroused, 'and in afew moments a stal wart Man was seen stalking from the building with an Albino infant under each . arm. Ile was soon' followed by a proceSsion of four, carrying out of 'the building the fat boy. Then came the fat woman and Miss' Shaw. the giantess, supported by three men. On reaching' the sidewalk, Miss Shaw fell, and measured her full length on the sidewalk. In' this way all the human beings in the museum were rescued and found a shelter at the Now York Dining Rooms, No. 53U Broadway, op posite. The firemen got to work with prompt ness after they had arrived, bat by the time the first stream of water was brought to boar on the burning build ing, and dense volumes of smoke and flames were pouring out of all tho up per windows, %Owing to the highly in flammable nature of the contents of the building, the flames spread with lightning-like rapidity, and before I o'- clock bad burst out through the roof. It was found impossible to save the building, and the firemen directed all their attention to the adjoining prop erty, which was greatly endangered. The building occupied as the Museum extended to Mercer street, in which portion of the building ,the stage was situated. As soon as tho fire reached the scenery and stage, the flames gain ed a now impetus, and burst out of the Mercer street side of the building with fearful violenee,the body of flame reach ing across the street and setting fire to the buildings on the opposite aide of the narrow street. The flames also extend ed to the building No. 537, adjoining, which is occupied by a number of vari ous parties, and also to the building on the upper side, No. 543. At this time a rumor was started that the Prescott louse was on fire, and on examination the rear of tho building was found burning. When the fact became known, a scone of groat exeitemen t followed. There was a grand rush of the boarders and guests of the hotel, and soon the halls and passages wore almost choked up by the fleeing boarders and their baggage. The rear of several houses on Spring street also took fire. As wo go to press the fire is still raging fiercely, and it is feared that several additional buildings will be destroyed before the flames are sub dued. The Museum proper comprised Nos. 539 and 511 Broadway, and was open ed soon after the destruction of the building at the corner of Broadway and Ann street. Despite the great exer tions of the police 'and citizens, but very few of the animals and curiosities were saved. few figures, several eases of stuffed animals, the electrical machine and a small proportion of the animals .were got out. Mr. Barnum's loss may po estimated at probably $250,900. Nothing is known of his in surance, as Mr. Barnum resides out of town, and his agent could not be found. The persons who slept in the building escaped in their night clothes, and lost all their wearing apparel and other property. The buildings were known originally as the Chinese Assembly Rooms, and were valued at $4.0,000. The owner and insurance could not be ascertained. The.police of the Eighth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Precincts were present in full force. The collection of animals belonging to Messrs. - ‘ran Am burg & Co., Mr. Barnum being one-third owner, •was unquestionably the finest in the coun try. The collection was not particu larly noted for its size, but was very completo,and embraced some very rare specimenS. Seral additions had been recently made. It is understood that the entire lot was offered • last spring to the Central Park: Commission at $lOO,OOO, and was refused, though' a short time afterwards a much larger sum was offered in Boston, but declin ed by the proprietors, as the summer travelling season was about to begin, offering better inducements thiin the proposed sale. A very' extended tour had been planned for thissummqr, and arrangements had been made to show the collection throughout; the country. In specialties this menagerie was fa mous for two of the finest Bengal ti- ( k r‘t, i, .4. , 1,, , ~ . . 7.,,,._.*.:.,, , ,:, d , .+, 1 , , gers over caged. They were male and female, of enormous size. There were two very large lions, and four beautiful lion cabs of ono litter, born in New Jersey, and very popular with the young visitors to the Museum. Of the seals, beside the Oxford graduate, the interesting learned individual, the four very handsome specimens recent ly tanked—of course, their fate was sealed. The collection of birds. was varied, and extensive, and very fine. Of these only a single silver pheasant, and two pelicans in the wilderness of monkeys were saved. We learn that the juvenile elephant, four years old, but old enough to know better than to he long in such a place, at such a time; was saved. The two camels stood not upon the order of their going, but wont at once, obedient to their driver. The giraffe demurred, kicked Officer Hickey in the eye, and was otherwise demonstrative, but was soon removed to the exterior in safety, having some severe cuts on his hind quarters. That animal, however, will bear con siderable razeoing behind, and yet stand very high in provincial estima tion. This morning, considering the cuts in the rear, ho unquestionably pre fers tho new quarters in the St. Nich olas stables to his own. That "amoosin' little ens,' as A. Ward calls him, the . kahgaroo was saved. A:japanese hog was also rescued from premature ba conism. The zebra had nc; additional stripes to bear beyond . his own, unless a few extras were laid on in getting him out, These were' all the animals saved. The "snaix," the whole mena gerie of monkeys , the Polar - bear, the gnu, the American bears, and the rest were soon stifled and died easily. There is a fiction about terrific roaring, but it is a "roorback." It is a rent loss to the cit,y',.as to the proprietors, that this fino collection of animals should be so lost. There was a melancholy and yet a mirth provoking group, temporarily harbored in the restaurant opposito the ruins of their late habitation, The gi antess, wo regret to say, mot with a fall. Three men were supporting her frail form over Broadway; but as she stepped upon the further eurbntono, she.slipped and ion across the street, forming an obstacle to traffic only equalled by the piles of dirty snow which the assiduity of Whiting collect ed in the same thoroughtitre. She was finally, however, got into the saloon by the united exertions of a sympathi aing.public without further damage, and in this refuge was joined by the fat wornan,'who contracted for this oc casion only to the dimensions of the double door. To them shortly cuter Zuruby Hannan], the Circassian girl, whose hair radiated with more than usual self-assertion, and the fat boy who was emptied into a tub and brought in on the shoulder of four men. Two pelicans were afterwards con ! veyed to the same haven; a stuffed fawn soon arrived, and the exiled curi osities ranged themselves against the wall, and poured their griefs into quo another's bosoms to their own solace, let us hope, add anyhow, to the extrav agant delight of a number of small boys who flattened their noses against the front windows, and exulted exu berantly in the possession of "a beat on Barnum." But the griefs of the curiosities shall he more sacred to us than to them. Altogether, curiosities, keepers, attendants, and watchmen, there wore from thirty to forty people who lodged in the Museum, and are made homeless by its destruction. The scene in Mercer street was scarcely less wonderful than that in Broadway. Prom the Spring street entrance to the Prescott House there formed a distracted crowd of women, and as timid men. Dross, unless that of the White Fawn mode was scarce, and scarcely protected the wearers from the cutting blast of the winter's snow. Around the corner there gath ered a motley group. Amongst these were mingled groups, that saddened the observer. The dens that surround Mercer, Greene, 'Wooster, sent forth their representatives, dissolute men and abandoned women. The ribald joke was hero the loudest. Barnum and the insurance companies, the Fee jeo Mermaid, the woolly horse, afford ed subjects for the least objectionable sneer. Mr. Barnum's Museum, which occu pied the site of tho new iler«lei build ing, was burned down July 13,1365, and his loss was then estimated at $500,000. Two days afterwards the energetic Barnum published his pro gramme for a now museum, and in a very short time afterwards he opened in the building which was burned this morning. Ho soon gathered a collec tion of curiosities in many respects su. : . perior to the first. A new and commo dious theatre was built on the roar lot. A short time afterwards he purchased the Gordon Cumming's collection, and was constantly adding rare and strange articles. Nearly the whole of these aro lost. A week ago a now stage was built in the theatre expressly- to bring out a gorgeous spectacle which has been some time in preparation, but the cul mination this morning, was a sublimer yet sadder spectacle than was looked for, with red and yellow fire enough to fit out an whole herd of white fawns. It is well known that Mr.. Barnum owns the loton the corner of roadway and Houston streets, and that ho in tended to commence the erection of a now museum. very soon.

Its little head is not looking exactly "careless and happy," but decidedly hairless and cappy and liko the proverbial Irish roll-of butter which had "only here and there a hair."

The common expression of countenance would indicate that "ha. by" had been sucking a large , size pickle, and didn't like it much, eith er. When the first infant comes; its "pa" has . to tako'a back seat. The' newly invested"ma," has no Limo to waste in caresses on anything else, and in• fact pa is looked upon as a sort of intruder if ho prosents his bill for a' kiss now and then. He does not come in for the attention .of departed days, for "ma" has to see to the making of "pap," the rollinr , of crackers and the administer. lag o?.A.Ers. Winslow's Soothing gyr nl3%. Poor Pa! although ho is proud as a peacock, still inwardly kicks against this usurpation of his rights, and tho' he sinks into nonentity on tho arrival of the first born, and tries to bear it like a hero, it takes a long time to get used to it. For instance, ho rushes home filled with a desire to attend ShakeyoUr hoof's party. He says .9.nsttn, my dear, Mrs. S. gives a German tonight j lot us go. But Susan can't see it. She looks at him as if ho had been guilty of cani- Idism,and with the air °can injured woman, says : "And leave Henry Augustus Caesar Tenkinson ? Leave our "first baby ?" Oh how can you, Charles William, think ofguch a thing, when the baby has had such a time to get those front teeth, too ? Oh, you cruel, cruel parent; you aro not fit to be the father of such .41 n angel." ' A terrible torrent of tears come in at this point, and Charles William, the miserable parent, withers into - noth• ing. in fact, there is no denying it, that the first baby walks into the affection (figuratively speaking) of the hitherto devoted wife and husband is obliged to go out in ale cold, and discuss the relative parts of "swill milk," "ono cow's milk," "skim milk," "chalk milk," &c. Ile finds a peculiar charm in regarding all the almanacs of the year that treats of (:remedy for colic," infants teething, chicken pox, nursing, sore mouth, measels, &c. And though the urchin won't wear shoos for mouths to come, Pa daily examines his toes and longs for the time to come when he can encase the little crooks in calfskin. Well, let the happy parents enjoy themselves over "our first ba bies. But while loving and tending the little lump, I bog of its happy mother not to forget that while she is devoting herself to `.`our baby," she must not neglect to give a struy, lov ing word or tender caress to ita bap py father. • _ Faithfully Yours, Roo E RAYLAND . 7 —Rochester Union.

Smith, a school teacher in the vicinity happened to pass by. Seeing the wounded man; she wont up to him and stanched his wounds, probably saving his life. She remained with him until near nightfall, when he re quested her to leave, as his ',compan ions would probably come at night and take him away. If not, she would find him there in the morning, living or dead. Ile said that ho was knowm by the name of Tucker, but that his real name was 11. C.
