WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, JULY 19, 1858. en ot aay = ek Se ees NO. 1,713 HOW A DRY JOKER WAS JOKED. At the name of Cale Mecks, what remi cences pass before our mental vision! ld rec- ollections come crowding upon us, and we see an array of the “sold” pass before our mind’s eye, in the shape of the seekers of the mythical Frank McLaughlin, the victims of croton oil and jalap, and for the administration of which no medical reason existed, and a long line of those who have been humbugged generally, without any specific species of sell. Cale was ihe prince of dry jokers; he lived, moved, and had his being through a diurnal succession of sells; indeed, his life was one great sell, com- posed of a conglomeration of the infinitesimal sells of fifty years’ duration. Now, Nixby— Nathan Nixby—was one of Cale’s truest and staunchest business acquaintances; but he had never been introduced into the domestic circle made glad by the portly presence of Mrs. Cale, who was somewhat addicted to jealousy. The reason for this Inck of acquaintance was that she lived a secluded life, in one of the little villages on Long Island, and Nat Nixby lived in our babel of New York. Well, one day Cale was hard pushed for an object upon which to inflict a practical joke, and in his dilemma he selected Nat is victim. The manner in which Nat was sold I do not choose particuiarly to describe; suffice it tosay shat, under the play of Cale’s exuberant fanoy, Nat made a journey to Albany, and insisted that a lady there had sent an amatory epistle, which he produced. The lady became indig- nant. called in the aid of her husband, who |it- erally skinned Mr. Nat Nixby, who thereafter returned to G+tham with a very adult flea in is auricular apparatus. Ihis event happened in the early spring time, and ona beautiful day, about a week after Nat’s return from Al- any, he met Cale at Sherwood’s. The sell was disclosed by Cale, and a heerty laugh was had over Nat’s mishap, and at his still Lruised fea- tures, in which joined; but those present noticed that he didn t laugh an inch below his ebin; indeed, it was generally believed that at's mirth was entirely simulated. Now, old fellow !’’ said Cale, “ you don’t hold any malice, do you ?”’ * Not a bit,” answered Nat, “and in token of amity let us take a smile around.”’ Which thing they did in the usual manner. Pidow did you come to town?’ asked Nat “@ drove up in a light wagon,”’ replied Cale. “ And when will you return home ?”” ** About six o'clock this evening,’ responded Cale Nat thereupon pleaded an engagement, and left; buat as soon as he was out of eye-shot of his joker friend repaired to Gray’s stable, in Warren street, where he hired a fast horse and light vehicle, with which he started through a by-street to the residence of his friend Cale on Long Island. On arriving, he left his horse and wagon at a public house, and proceeded to the aforesai idence, where he inquired of the servant if Mecks was at home. Un being answered, as he knew he would, in the negative, he said : “ This is unfortunate. I wanted to pay him some money. {ff I could see Mrs. Mecks it would do as well; she could give me a receipt in the name of her husband.” Mrs. M. was frugal and industrious, and al- ways attentive to her husband’s interest. As the last remark fell from the lips of Nat, a fine looking matron called from up the stairs, to show the gentleman into the parlor, where she followed in a few minutes. Nat bowed and said : “« I desired to see Mrs. Meeks, madam.” “ Very well, Iam Mrs. Meeks,”’ eplied she. “Pardon me, madam,” said Nat, with a doabting shake of his head; ‘‘ but this is a matter of some importance—the payment of money; and you are not the lady Mr. Meeks introduced to me as his wife, last winter!’’ “ Not the lady? what!” shricked she; “do you mean to tell me that—’’ “T simply tell you, madam,” replied Nat, with icy imperturbability, ‘ that Mr. Meeks, last winter, in Broadway, near Leonard street, in- troduced me to a lady whom he called Mrs. Meeks, and you are not the lady.” “Indeed !’’ exclaimed Mrs. M., her eyes flashing fire; ‘‘ how old was she ?”’ “ Well, about twenty-five “Twenty-five; and how was she dressed ?”” “She wore her bair in ringlets, had diamond ear-rings—"’ * Diamond ear-rings !"” * A heavy silk velvet dress, very large gold bracelets, a magnificent watch and chain.’ “Well, go on,”” she said spitefully. * Silk velvet hat, feineniadl with magnificent lace, and a muff and boa.” “Bow !’’ wrenched out the now thoroughly irate dame; you had better bore your way out of this house, sir, mighty quick, or else some- body will have aheadache' No, sir, [ am not Mrs. Meeks, and I want you to leave.” “ Oh, certainly.”’ said Nat, who saw the tall- est kind of a squall brewing, and who had & reason to fear that the sturdy dame might aunch at his head a conch shell, or some other of the heavy ornaments which adorned the mantle. Nat therefore beat a retreat from off the premises, and placed himself behind a stone fence from which he could command a view of the Brooklyn turnpike. He did not wait long before he saw the able Cale driving down the road al! unconscious of the ambush of Nat. The expression upon Cale’s face was one of the greatest amiability, and exemplified that he was at peace with * all the world and the rest of mankind.” In a brief space of time Cale’s steed was given into the charge of a stable boy, and un- conscious and happy, he entered bis domicil and shut the door. “The moment he entered an attentive ear might have detected the sounds of a voice in no way mellow or expressive of endearment; and in an instant after Cale hur- riedly came through the door, with amazement on his face and a mop in his rear, the wron; end of which was under the direct and persona superintendence of a lady who was very red ia the face and very sturdy in the arms, and who strongly resembled Mrs. Meeks. The battle had commenced in the passago way. Cale’s castor, which had shone in the rays of the setting sun, as he drove down the road, was very much bruised and out of shape; indeed, it was driven down over his amiable physiognomy. > What in thunder is out?” yelled Cale. “Twenty-five years old,” shrieked the ‘nfari- ated dame, and bang, Cale caught the mop over his shoulders. ‘Corkscrew ringlets” and punk he gotitin the back, with all the strength whieh nature and anger had given to the en- raged lady. ~-D—n it, don’t do that!”’ Ext it was no use, he had to take it. “Diamond ear-rings!”” punk.

Shehed tence ran trong at’s imaginary catalogue, and, feeling her strength: departing, gathered herself for pds grand and fiual effort. Cale looked with horror upon the upraised mop; be heard the words, “Oh, the huzzy,”° shouted ia a vigorous tone; he heard’ * bustling, whizzing sound in the air, and the next instant the poor fellow’s nose was as flat asthe other p»rts of bis face. His two tor- meutors retreated into the mansjun and left him alone in his gore. Siowly, and with the most keen sensations o Cpsiache raised himself inty « sitting posture; and with many @ groan. of agony, he proceeded to inspect his personal condition ** Phis arm's broke certain! Qh! and this left shoulder must be dislocated! Good Lord, what a noise! I shan’t be able to go about again fora month! Ob, Lord, how sore I am! Now, Nat, with the most pleasurable emo- tions, had through the crevice of the fence, ob- served the whole of the little family jar which I have so freely described; and he now stood looking over the fence at the back of his dear friend. “I say, Uncle Cale,” shouted Nat. “ Hey!’’ said Cale, as he turned in some lit- tle astonishment to look upon his former victim. “ I say, Cale,”’ continued Nat, ‘‘ how do you feel about now ?” “Ob! you ,’ (I shall leave it blank.) yelled out the enraged Cale, as he sprang to his feet and made for the house, “I’II fix your flint!”’ But Nat didn’t want the flint fixed, and therefore made his way, with all celerity, up the road. Soon after there appeared upon the green sward, rendered sanguinary and sacred by the conjugal endearments, a lame man, who wore a shocking bad hat, and who had taken posses- sion of a fowling-piece loaded with buck-shot. If the lame individual meant to shoot Nat, he reckoned without his host. That worthy, thanks to a long and thin pair of legs, was out of gun- shot range. Cale from that time forth, and until he filled the grave which he now occupies so well, es- chewed dry joking, and was always sensitive on the subject of mops. For Rent and Sale.

Acorrespondent of the Savannah Republican gives the following account of the progress of the construction of the Light-house bn Minot’s Ledge, near Cohasset : The edifice is of Quincy granite, and they build it first on shore, setting up and fitting its various courses, and then are to carry it off i vessels and fix it upon the rock. It is circular in form, and while each stone of the course is dovetailed or keyed into each other, each course is to be secured to the one below it by immense iron rods, each running through several courses, ‘There are upwards of twenty course completed, making about 50 feet of the structure; yet the first and second, or foundation, are hardly com- pletely laid on the rock. This is a jagged peak of irregular form, which has to be leveled off for each stone, while on the lower course or foundation must be uneven and irregular in thickness, so that the upper surface may be even for the following course; and as the ledge is in the open bay, and under water at high tide, it is a difficult place to work. Very little wind causes the waves to break furiou it, and stops the work, even at low ti is bare. You can judge of its position, when you remember that in the gale which carried away the previous structure, which was of iron, the waves washed away a part which was ;3i) feet above the surface of the water; and, again, when I was there, the stone lighter had been lying at the wharf three weeks with a cargo of half a dozen blocks of granite on board,waiting fora suitable time to go off and lay them. They can only work three hours when tide and time suit, and for this they sometimes wait several weeks. They have been at work now about three years. The season of 1557 was a good one, and in the whole year they worked on the ledge 130) hours. In July of that year they worked 56 hours; while in the whole of the year 1356 they could work there but 96 bours in all. In the three months ending the Ist of June they mad@ but 10 hours. When the foundation is laid they can go on more rapidly, as they can work after the tide Tises if the sea is smooth. Itis a great piece of work, and a very expensive one Everything which skill and care and money can do, is ap plied to make a substantial and suitable struc- ture—one that will resist all the force of the ocean, which on Minot’s ledge exerts its wildest fury and is of almost incredible power.

The several pieces Jaid down in the Programme were then played, the effect of which was grand. Those who were fortunate enough to stand upon the south side of the mu- sic, or on the Charles strect mall, could hear distinetly. The wind was quite strong from the north, which took the sound away from jthe multitude who oceupied the flag-ataff hill. The last piece, “Hail Columbia.’’ was the crowning performance of the whole Concert. The guns of the Light Artillery were introduced with magnificent effect. With one or twoexceptions, the cannon sounded precisely in time and with wonderful rapidity. Every one was loud in praise of the Artillery for the precision with which they performed their part of the unique entertainment. At the conclusion of ‘Hail Columbia’’ three or four grand chords were iven by the Bands, accompanied by the guns. fhe multitude shouted as the Concert came tua close, and loudly called for an encore of the last piece, but it was not given. The wholo affair was a decided success. No rehearsal was had with the Artillery,except to go through the motions without the firing. The whole affair reflected great credit upon all parties who as- sisted in the Concert, and we have no doubt we shall have more of the same sort in the future. Price $1.25.
