Se ee a NES FROM LIFE SCENES; And Real Life Behind the Scenes. {By “Our Ned,” of the New York Mercury ) The Rival Ventriloquists. “*Onee upon a time,” as the “ story-tellers”’ have it, we were sailing down the great ‘father of waters,’’ the Mississippi, in the beautiful steamer ‘‘Goddessof Liberty,”’ bound from St. Louis to New Orleans. We had on board the usual variety of rs; but for some un- explainable cause, an unusual degree of mo- notony prevailed. Tis true, the card-players were at work, with their accustomed energy, and little groups of passengers were earnestly engaged over the quiet game of “‘checkers,”’ or “draughts,” while one little cirele only were absorbed in that eld, but now popular game— “ehess."” A large number of passengers were sitting in the forward saloon, gazing listlessly ateach other, apparently, in a state of stupe- faction. Being of an active temperament and fond of excitement, we could not suffer ennui upon such an occasion to get the upper hand of us; so, with a view to kicking up some kind of rumpus for our own sake and the rolief of ¢! passengers generally, we walked boldly into the captain’s office, and laid the whole matter before the distinguished commander. “* We bave no mus ¢ on board,”’ the captain remarked, ‘‘or we might wake the passengers up with a little ‘hop on the light fantastic.’ ”’ “Well,” we replied, (looking carelessly over the list on the passenger-roll) “‘ we mast have some excitement, for the passage is really wearisome.”” Just at that moment our eyes fell — a name distinguished in the annals of diadlerie —no less a personage than the celebrated wiz- ard and ventriloquist, Signor Blitz. Here was indeed reason for crying ‘‘Eureka,”’ and, forth- with we proceeded in search of the mysterious wizard. In a few moments the signor was found, quietly reposing in his state-room, and the whole difficulty (the occasion called for eloquence) eloquently laid before him. Blitz consented to create a little ‘harmless fun’’ as he termed it; but the sequel proved it more funny than harmless. But, withow anticipat- ing, the wizard entered the steward’: ment, and providing himself with a few hu, slices of bread, and obtaining some of his little animate assistants, he announced himself pre- parea, but remarked that he must select a good es for on that selection depended the fun. We entered the forward saloon noise- lessly, arm-in-arm, and advanced toward the uiet, sleepy-looking passengers, who were col- ected together without aim or object. While running our eyes rapidly around the saloon in search of a victim, our attention was attracted toward a young man dressed in a deep suit of black, who was seemingly absorbed in a book, which he was attentively perusing. We “nudged” the signor, pointed significantly at the young man, and received from the former an affirmative answer, by a quiet movement of the head. The signor picked up a atool, seated himself unceremoniously between the young stranger and the end of the table near by. This movement arrested the attention of the stranger, who looked up, inquiringly. “You seem to be much interested in your , Sir,’’ the cae eens ae * he replied, ‘a good isto me ner.” ‘ + nds upon the length of By the way, Tau not see you at the dinner table?” Stranger.—“No, air, I preferred my book.’ Signor —-One dollar is high for a single meal, I commend your economy.” Stranger (indignantly).—I eatwhen hungry whatever the price!”” Signor. —“I spoke of economy, because I ob- served some provisions in your ha Stranger (in an offended tone.—Provisiens, r? I carry no provisions with me. I always ent at the public table. and pay for it, too !"” The whole attention of the passengers was mow centred upor the speakers, and consid- erable interest manifested by the company in the peculiar subject under discussion. Signor (lifting up the young gent’s hat from his side, and passing it under the eyes of the entire group). —“I a not wish to offend you, sir: but I see here quite a supply of provis- ious!” This created not a little amusement at the expense of the stranger, which soon increased to a laugh as the wizard drew forth slice after slice of stale bread from the young manis hat. The stranger bit his lips in confusion, and fixed his gaze upon the signor; then, with a smile. got up from his seat and moved toward his state-room. “: Prightened ?"’ says one of the lookers-on, smiling at the sudden disappearance of the stranger ‘ranger, (emerging from the state-room.)— “No; not frightened exactly. I merely put away my book, because I find there is going to be some fan aboard, and when there's fun — want to be ‘counted in,” for that’s my jorte.”” Looker-on, (enthusiastically.)—*(iood ' bra- vo' bravo! Go it, little "un; you’re a match for him!” The stranger had barely finished his remarks when a loud yelping and snapping was heard at his heels, and the parsengers began to ter. thinking a rabid dog was in their midst: but « few minutes served to prove the barking and yeipjng another trick of the ventril wisi. _Daring the excitement about.the dog, the signor seemed constantly brushing something from behind his ear, and becoming much an- noyed by acontinual buzzing at his head, re- quested one of the passengers to examine his neck; for he was fearful a wasp had taken pas- Sage on the boat and was engaged in the exclu- sive business of annoying bim. An examina- tion proved the signor’s fears groundless, and the fun with the stranger continued. Now came the squealing of a pig, and, in 2 few mo- ments, the signor, to the great amusement of the crowd, produced from the stranger’s bo- som 4 snail guinea-pig, which jumped and ran around the saloon as if pleased at being re- leased from sueh an uncomfortable berth Again the signor was seized with that periodi- eal attack of the wasp, and brushed in rain with his hands to rid himself of the little tor- menter. Several of the passengers attempted to catch the refractory wasp, but each attempt proved futile, and the attacks of the insect upon the head of the signor soon became a portion of the general amusement for the pas- sengers. the buzzing of the wasp produced as — fan as any of the wizard’s wonderful feats Daring all this time the features of the stran- ger remained placid, though his brilliant black eyes flastied, and gave evidence of no iy amount of mischief lurking within. The yen- triloquis® having failed to affect the stranger, resolved to try again, apparently determined het only to bring down the boat, but to bring down the stranger also. Siguor (stepping up to the young stranger) — “Come, friend, sing us a good song, won't you? Don’t be so quiet.” Without y areal reraark, the Signor com- menced his aderful ventriloquial singing & & favorite air, with achorus ete., each note appearing to mouth of the young stranger. illusion, that the stranger preferable toa , Signor.—-That come from the So complete was the received shouts of applause at its conclusion; and, yeni his positive denial of singing single word, the passengers insisted it wae well done. During the singing, the Signor was ag tered with the buzzing in his ear of that indefatigable wasp, aod seemed utterly unable to free himself from the perti- Bacious insect _ “Now,” remarked the st: ir. “as you in- sist that I have been singing a song, though entirely unconscious of the act myself, I think it but fair that Blitz should favor us with a mg in return.”’ At the sound of Blitz’s name, all were on the que vive; and now, as the character of the in- veterate joker was understood, the party in- sisted upon a sone Blitz, (earnestly)—I tell you, gentlemen, I Chen + Ng Star. * XIV.

The boat was stepped by Blitz, started by Wy- man; Blitz got up a false alarm of fire, and Wyman burst the boiler, to the holy horror of several old maids. Blitz bolted whole potatoes at the table, Wyman stowed away chickens, alive and kicking.
