BY A BLUE JACKET. “Well, I don’t know,” said little Herrick, the senior midshipman of our mess, “I have ten every mortal thing that crawls, flies, or swims, from a turtle to a lizard, and from a hippopotamus to a perriwinkle.”’ “ pers have,’’ said our Carterer, inter- rupting ‘Ay; and what’s more,” he continued, “I’m uncommon curious in my ite, for, as youn, Skilton, the clerk, knows, I once cooked old Nipcheese’s brace Id fish over @ crock psceogae and broiled his two canaries jin same way, just to ify m; and ‘my appetite at the same ~ Lathe biomed er I heard of a fellow stuffing himself ont — stewed cockatoos, and eabey broth be- fore.”? ‘* P’raps you didn’t,”’ di 1, Carterer; but I tell ye we a more than a month for all that.”’ « Where ?”* ‘* Where?”’ echoed the Carterer; ‘why, on the coast of Borneo, to be sure, when I was in the Dolphin, surveying.” “Oh, ah! likely joke! Come, come, you're not going to cram us like that, I can tell ye; so mind now, for I ve been on that coast as well as you. So just tell us what’s your pri- vate ‘pinion about the shrimps, there, eh? That will soon tell me whether you're inning erg or working to windward of truth,”’ re- jo young Herrick, triumphantly; “ for there’s something uncommon odd about the shrimps, as you must know if you have been there.” “My private opinion about the shrimps on that coast,’’ replied the Caterer, coolly, suck- ing his woodville, * that they are the finest in the world; and to enjoy ‘em to perfection a man ought to have a throat a mile long, and every inch of it palate.” ‘*All right,” said Herrick, ‘‘ but how big are they ? Come to particulars, if you please.’ “How big? Why, every full grown shrimp is a foot long if he is an inch.”” “‘Gammon !—my eye '—oh, oh!’ shouted every reefer in the berth, at Caterer’s re- mark. ‘‘ Silence, gentlemen, if you please.’’ said Herrick, the *‘ Caterer’s right. Now, I’meon- vinced he has spoken the truth; they are a foot long.’” “A foot long! a shrimp a foot long !”” screamed the whole mess in one voice ‘A foot long,”’ replied the senior mildly, “T vouch for that. Talk about shrimps, there's nothing like ’em anywhere ; and they do mea- sure a foot from the end of the tail to the tip of the nose.’’ “* P’raps they are lobsters ... ‘No, real shrimps, without claws; and I cap tell ye, if you ever go to Borneo. and fall in with any of them, you'll think the litte bits of husky things you get in England no better than boiled earwigs.”’ “ Capital '—hab! hah! hah!”’ laughed the merry young dogs. * But come,”’ said Herrick, ‘now I’m con- vinced you have been sticking to the truth ; go on with your yarn,”’ ‘* What about—about the cockatoo and mon- key soup?”’ “No, no; we admit that. No; tell us about that odd dish you once had in Germany.”’ “Oh, ah,’’ replied the Caterer, throwing his lead and his thoughts back at the same time, and taking a severe suck at his ‘** woodville,’”” he went on. ‘ You all remember, that just aiter we made that splendid run home from the Guinea coast. and I went to- visit some of my cousins German on the Rhine. Well, one day, I'd taken an uncommon long stroll, and lost my way; and as I was located in a quiet wilderness of a place, covered with sand furze bushes, where a town was a rarity, and the lit- tle bits of rugged villages are stowed away in ravines and gorges, like as if they were y- ing at hide and scek, you might suppose that getting a dinner under such circumstances wasn’t done ing minute. At last I happened to spy the top of a village steeple sticking out of a ravine, and I was soon alongside the con- gregation of mud and timber huts in sevdgeom | pass for houses. You may be sure that, as Sweltered down the village, all but withered by the ee ve ve power of the sun, I looked fora butehe: but not a carcase was to be seen, and it appeared to me, from the sleepy look of the place, that there was nothing to had to eat but hot stones and dust. However, at last I saw a door of a hovel open, in which the commerce of the village was carried on, and I found that I could be supplied with all sorts of coffee, nails, suasages, tape, chocolate, and, of course, tobaceo, sour wine, oils, and other rancid commodities, adapted to German appetites, but nothing else. However, the people directed me to the only hotel in the place ; and in afew minutes after I was seated in Zum Brannen Hirsch.’’ ‘* What's that?” said the Mentor, or, as he was called, the tor-mentor of the mess. “Oh! it’s the name of a gasthaus, er small tavern, and means the Brown Stag.”” ‘: And did you get anything to eat—eh ?”’ “‘ Wait a bit,’” said the Caterer, ‘and I'll introduce you to adainty dish, I promise ye.”’ ‘*Guten morgen,’ said the burgomaster who was landlord of the hotel. ‘** Guten morgen,”’ said I, brisking up at the sight of the plump, ruddy face, which was overflowing with the milk and honey of a thousand pleasing associations. ‘I’m as hun- gry as a wolf.” ‘So,’ exclaimed the burgomaster.”’ “I did not like his so,”’ eontinued our Cat- erer; ‘it had a shuffling, evasive sound, and rognosticated an empty larder. ‘Got any eef—eh ?”’ I demanded. A negative answer. ** Any mutton ?"° “ No; he had no mutton’’ “ Any veal ’’’ said I, testily, hopes of a dinner vanished. ‘*No,”’ replied the landlord, with provoking Rarity, “my last bit of veal was eaten to-day. jut I have a dish worth all the beef, veal, or mutton in the universe.’’ And the burgomas- ter went through a regular pantomine of de- light, smacking his lips, and looking as happy as possible.”’ “‘ What in the name of Mrs. Glass can it be made of.”’ «* Der Igel,’’ said mine host, in a low, con- fidential whisper, looking quite oily as he knowingly winked his eye. “Der [gel?”’ I muttered ponderingly. And the burgomaster solemnly muttered ‘Der Igel,”’ in reply. While [ was consider- ing whether his delicacy was fish, flesh, fowl, or red herring, he guessed I was an English- man, and attempted to describe the animal ; “but,’? said the caterer, “I could make neither head nor tail to it.’ ‘Well, my lads,’’ he continued, “you know I can digest a tenpenny nail ona pinch; but 1 confess to have a prejudice against cats, and I always have my misgivings on the Continent when a dish is introduced that is made from neither beef, mutton, nor veal. But in thix ease it was impossible to help myzelf, for my inward lamentations had by this time settled into an awful and continuous rumbling, like the mutterings of distant thnnder—so [ or- dered up Der Igel, and a schoppen of wine to wash him down. ** The burgomaster bolted, and soon returned in a sort of civil hurry, with a smoking dish in his hands—a cross between a hosh and an frish stew—which he, as I thought, placed triumphantly on the board. “ Eat, mien herr, and own youreelf a lucky «I obeyed himvinstantly,”” said cur Caterer, our upon ’em for on finding my *‘and dipping m into the tuceen, con- Bh town h liquid, freighted with fragments of meat and bones, to wy plate.

Has it a long, a very long tail ?”’ “Ne, no—decidediy not. Der Igel has neither ears nor tail.’ “« How odd,” said I, completely baffied, and I flung myself back in my chair, and felt my- self as sick as a dog. __‘‘How long [ should have remained, chew- ing not the ‘cud of sweet and bitter fi ag but the amber mouth-piece of my cigar-tube, I can’t pretend to say,’ continued our cater- er, ‘but I was aroused out of my reverie bya group of Prussian officers; as they came up stairs, their long cavalry swords dangli on their heels, made as much noise as i oe had flung down a dozen sets of fire- rons. ‘*Now,”’ said I, ‘ we shall settle the identi- ty of this troublesome Der Igel,”’ for 1 know that mcst German officers are well educated men; but, alas! not one of them knew the English name of this vexing animal. I soon found that matters had p from bad to worse, for I had inocula‘ the officers with my desire to know on what I had dined, and their frenzied efforts to enlighten me brought on such a clamorous j in German gutter- als, mixed up with jagged, epluttering conso- nants that = nto have a b vady noel ence upon that undigested portion of I so recently had swallowed.

Well that shows how much you know about the matter. He whines, if you like.” This last remark brought forth a host of pshas' chuts! chiktzs' and other interjec- tions, every one of which was sent hissing out of their mouths with force enough to blow their front teeth out. “* Come, come,”’ said I, interrupting them; ‘‘never mind about his voice—what are his habits?” ‘- He prowls only at night,”” said one. “te I’ve seen him in the day time,”’ said an- other. Some described him as preferring the land, some the woods, and some the water. One rash young cornet, heedless of the consequences, suggested that ‘‘ Der Igel might possibly be amphibious.’ Poor fellow! his meddling ob- servation brought down upon him such a shower of harsh, grating epithets, bristlin, with jagged German consonants, as woul: have split the drum of any ear, except a Ger- man’s, into infinitesimal splinters. Matters had arrived at this pass, when an officer said that he had just remembered a ———— of Der Igel that had escaped us all. ** What is it ?"* ** Der Igel burrows.’ “So does a fox,s rabbit, and a marmot, but none of these are like Der ag ** What does he eat?” ied some one. “Roots,” vociferated the young cornet. “‘Game,”’ shouted another. “*Carbage,”’ chimed in the landlord. ‘* At this last observation a sic! sen- sation crept over me,”’ said our Caterer, “I began to that the oily-looking burgo- master, for the sake of the miserable florins, my Ginner came to, had allowed me to cram myself with a polecat, an otter, or a tic. sloat or weazle.

Puzzling as this remark was, it nevertheless proved to be a step in the right direction, for the muddle-headed burgo~ master now recollected, for the first time while we were discussing the nature of Der Igel’a coat, that he had preserved his skin; and he abused himse!f almost as much as I did for not thinking of it before. “Bray Jp with it!” “Now you'll see who's right!” and similar phrases flew about in all directions, for by this time the Officers, as well as myself, were gasping with excitement, when in the midst of the hubbub, the burgomaster entered the room, produced the skin, and lo' it was—”’ ‘**What’’’ exclaimed the “mess,” as ong man. “Guess,” said our Caterer. “We give it up.” “(A Hepee-Hog.” = + Trpocrarmicar Distunuance.—As a pro- Cession Was passing the steeets of Detroit, on the 4th inst., the members of the Printers* Union, who were in it, with a fiag anda it~ ing press, were hissed, insulted, and attacked by the hands working in the newspaper offices denominated as from their being mo gomg its rules.
