Now Jiui show the gentlemen how you can travel. G it up! A Notorious Ventriloquist. At the depot in Chicago, a few days since there ? was great excitement over a traveler's trunk. It seems that the baggage-master was about to check it, when a voice within ex claimed: . "Let mo out or I will smother here!" Tho baggage-master looked astonished for awhile, when the voice again exclaimed: "Will you let mo out, or must I die in thus enclosure ?" ? "Hold on, I will look up the owner," said the baggage-master, and off lie started in great haste, and in the meantime a large crowd of excited people had gathered around. He re turned?the owner of the trunk could not be found: lie was about to break the lock, when the voice quickly said: "Oh, don't do that; you will kill me, Here comos my master; but don't tell him I am smuggling iuy way." At this juncture a gcntloman stepped up and claimed the trunk. "Is this your property, sir ?" said the bag gage-master. "Yes, sir, it is," replied the gentleman. "Well, sir, you are smuggling a man in it." lJ A man in my trunk ! What do you mean ?" Voice in (lie Trunk.?"lie means 1 must get out and pay iny way." Gentleman.?"How came you in my trunk?" loicc.?"You put me in here yoiusolf 1?) avoid fare." Gent.?"No. T did not." Voice.?"Yoti lie !" Baggage-master.?"No use talking, sir; you must open that trunk." Gent.?Do you intend to insult me sir?" Baggage-master.?"Not at all; but the trunk must be opened." Voice.?"Yes, for God sake, let me out?I'm nearly dead." GeilT.-?".Togratify you and the crowd, I will open the trunk." While the owner was adjusting the key to the lock, tho crowd gathered around with the expectation of seeing a suffocated man ; but ' their great astonishment when the lid was raised, the trunk contained nothing but the wardrobe belonging to Don Juan the Ventrilo quist, who perpetrated the trick. The baggage-master took with a "sudden .leaving," and the crowd shouted, "sold again." ?-L-aasa^MM? ? ?? - I - "Sura," said Patrick, rubbing his head with delight at the prospect of a present from his employer, "1 always manu to do my duty."
