WIC%\ IIV new ivvoitvij AIVI&I liMU raral districts, last week stopped at t Barnaul's Hotel, and registered as f ?, from Tennessee, and bound for t Kansas. ^ He was placed in a room by himself, which contained all the luxuries in the r way of furniture incident to a lirst class hotel. The gentlemen connected with y the office were polite and attentive ; at j the hour known in the country when j the "chickens go to roost," he desired y to turn in, and was conducted to his j room, expresing at the same time his v opinion that it was a "darned splend- r itcrous tavern." What his thoughts during the night j were, of course we are unable to divine, hut tlu next miming,long before the t Shanghais?who are said to crow half an hour earlier, because their necks are so long they see the sun J much sooner than othor chickens?our v hero was at the counter of the office. ? ? The watchman of the hotel was 011 d <thty at the time, and the following |i colloquy ensued. v . Watchman.?Arc von sick, sir or do t you want anything! r Stranger.?Wat, no, not sick, but a ii leetle dirty : I rode in the cars all day 1 and slept all night; still, if you've got a finy springs or puddle convenient I'd l like to take a splash. 0 Watchman.?It's a bath, then, sir, you r desire ? Stranger.?Yes, sorten ; I don't s know how your folks do here, hut in my o xjoutry wo wash every morning. The fact is that I've swallowed so much " dnst that a sand bar lias accumulated f' fu my throat, which will make my breakfast get aground, and require t three straight whiskeys to spar it off. ji But whar's your wash house i ** a _ Watchman.?You will find comvcn- o ces of that kiud in your room?water c wash-howl, towels, &c. r Stranye)'.?No, thar'8 nothing of e the sort, and ef you will just give ino your skillet, I'd like to splatter uiy face ami hands. In East Tennessee we c wash in a skillet, and tliein 'ere fancy 1 fixings war alittlo too nice with the maoghany atool and 9tone plate, that I rather sorter thought 'twoult| be a pity to spile or dirty ein. We were credibly informed by a ^brake of day" young man, who had iust come in, that the watchman took him back again to his room and inatructed him in the mysteries of the toilet, which, though wanting in askil let, served the purposes or ablution.
