"Out'with it, old said we.
"Anything at all will Po acceptable, so

In Q. moment he' was gone, and we
sot our heads together to form a'fAttn.
"I have it, boys," said Bill Steevors:
"we Must make the girl tliink that her
lover is married-L"
"'That's it, Bill—that's it," said wo,
,not giving him tinie to finish.
"That he is a married man, and the
father of ehildren," said 13111.
'lt devolved - upon me to commence

and he, for the purpose of protecting
her, had thrown his arm around_ her

er's style. 1111 this I gathered at a
glance. 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.

"Sce, here, stranger," said the fellow,
"yon are a mite mistaken i my name

"Why, Jones," said I, "you certainly

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

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—

"Why; Jones, you hero? How did
you leave your wife and babies ?"
"Now see here, stranger, you ain't

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. Made
plenty of money," 'What did you do
with it?" "Laid it out in houses and

-PERSEVERE.-
Barnum's Museum Destroyed by Fire.
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

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

finally, however, got into the saloon
by the united exertions of a sympathi

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

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

yet sadder spectacle than was looked
for, with red and yellow fire enough to
fit out an whole herd of white fawns.

Our First Baby,
Bless its dear little bald head ! Was
there ever such a baby since the world
begun ? Only look at the wonderful
little red face ! all puckered *and twist
ed and wrinkled, looking first like a
head of magenta colored cabbage
a startling contrast to the smothering
quantity of laces, frills, tucks, and puffs
in which the little highly tinted won
der is arrayed. 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." If there is ono point, on which
'the "ma" is touchy it is concerning
baby's hair, so the least said about
the canary colored down the better.
Our first baby ! 'Heaven bless the
little red lump ; what a dear little nose
it has—not a bit bigger than a good
sized wart! and such eyes—oh, such
eyes—"beautiful eyes," mamma says,
but in reality the "twin beauties" gen
erally look like a pair of badly work
ed button holes, for fresh babies sel
dom aro inclined to open their "peep
ers" wide enough to lot any ono see
whether they are green or yellow. All
babies look alike• to most mon, though
women have a peculiar talent for dis
tiguishing between them. Babies aro
generally supposed to resemble either
of the parents, though I- must consci
entiously say that I never could see
any groat likeness to either one in the
little pursed up phiz presented for - in

countenance would indicate that "ha.

pickle, and didn't like it much, eith

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.

But Susan can't see it. She looks at
him as if ho had been guilty of cani-

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

A WAR INCIDENT.—During Price's
raid into Missouri in 1864, a skirmish
took place on the line of Charlton and
IloWard counties, in which ono of the
Confederates was left ,on the ground
dangerously wounded in the neck.—
While in this condition Miss Sarah J.
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. McDonald, and
that ha was from Louisville,Kentueky.
Next . morning McDonald Was gone,
and Miss Smith knew nothing:eoncern
ing hint afterward. A few' dtiys ago,
the Glasgow -,"M0.,) gay's, Miss
Smith, who still resides in the neigh
borhood, received a letter from the ad
ministriitor of 11. C. McDonald, Sr., in
forming her that she was named in the
will of the deceased as the legatos 'of
fifty thousand dollars, in consideration
of her having saved the life of his
nephew and only heir, the It. C. Me-
Donald-named in connecaori with the
incident of 1864. ' ""
