E. DROOD</b>.</p> + <p>AN ADAPTATION.</p> + <p>BY ORFHEUS C. KERR</p> + <p>CHAPTER XIX.</p> + <p>THE H. AND H. OF J. BUMSTEAD.</p> + <p>The exquisitely sweet month of the perfectly delicious +summer-vacation having come, Miss CAROWTHERS' Young Ladies have +returned again, for a time, to their respective homes, MAGNOLIA +PENDRAGON has gone to the city and her brother, and FLORA POTTS is +ridiculously and absurdly alone.</p> + <p>Under the ardent sun of August, Bumsteadville slowly bakes, +like an ogre's family-dish of stuffed cottages and greens, with here +and there some slowly moving object, like a loose vegetable on a +sluggish current of tidal gravy, and the spire of the Ritualistic +church shooting-up at one end like an incorrigibly perpendicular leg of +magnified mutton.</p> + <p>Hotter and hotter comes the breath fiery of nature's cookery, +until some of the stuffing boils out of one cottage, in the shape of +the Oldest Inhabitant, who makes his usual annual remark, that this is +the Warmest Day in ninety-eight years, and then simmers away to some +cooler nook amongst the greens. More and more intolerably quivers the +atmosphere of the sylvan oven with stifling fervency, until there oozes +from beneath the shingled crust of a vegetarian country-boarding-house +a parboiled guest from the City, who, believing himself almost ready to +turn, drifts feebly to where the roads fork and there is a shade more +dun; while, to the speculative mind, each glowing field of corn, or +buckwheat, is an incipient Meal, and each chimney, or barn, a mere +temptation to guess how many Swallows there may be in it.</p> + <p>Upon the afternoon of such a day as this, Miss POTTS is +informed, by a servant, that Mr. BUMSTEAD has arrived, and, sending her +his love, would be pleased to have her come down stairs to him and +bring him a fan.</p> + <p>"Why didn't you tell him I wasn't at home, you absurd thing?" +cries the young girl, hurriedly practicing a series of agitated looks +and pensive smiles before her mirror.</p> + <p>"So I did, Miss," answers the attached menial, "but he'd seen +you looking at him with an opera-glass as he came up the path, and said +that he could hear you taking a clean handkerchief out of tho drawer, +on purpose to receive him with, before he'd got to the door."</p> + <p>"Oh, what shall I do? My hands are so red to-day!" sighs +FLCKA, holding her arms above her head, that the blood may retire from +the too pinkish members.</p> + <p>After a pause, and an adjustment of a curl over her right eye +and the scarf at her waist, to make them look innocent, she yields to +the meteorological mania so strikingly prevalent amongst all the other +characters of this narrative, and says that she will receive the +visitor in the yard, near the pump. Then, casting carelessly over her +shoulder that web-like shawl without which no woman nor spider is +complete, she arranges her lips in the glass for the last time, and, +with a garden-hat hanging from the elbow latest singed, goes down, +humming un-suspiciously, into the open-air, with the guileless bearing +of one wholly unprepared for company.</p> + <p>Resting an elbow upon a low iron patent-pump, near a rustic +seat, the Ritualistic organist, in his vast linen coat and imposing +straw hat, looks not unlike an eccentric garden statue, upon which some +prudish slave of modern conventionalities has placed the summer attire +of a western editor. The great heat of the sun upon his back makes him +irritable, and when Miss POTTS sharply smites with her fan the knuckles +of the hand which he has affably extended to take her by the chin, more +than the usual symptoms of acute inflammation appear at the end of his +nose, and he blows hurriedly upon his wounded digits.</p> + <p>"That hurt like the mischief!" he remarks, in some anger. "I +don't know when I've felt anything smart so."</p> + <p>"Then don't be so horrid," returns the pensive girl, taking a +seat before him upon the rustic settee, and abstractedly arranging her +dress so that only two-thirds of a gaiter-boot can be seen.</p> + <p>Munching cloves, the aroma of which ladens the air all around +him, Mr. BUMSTEAD contemplates her with a calmness which would be +enthralling, but for the nervous twisting of his features under the +torments of a singularly adhesive fly.</p> + <p>"I have come, dear," he observes, slowly, "to know how soon +you will be ready for me to give you your next music-lesson?"</p> + <p>"I prefer that you would not call me your 'dear,'" was the +chilling answer.</p> + <p>The organist thinks for a moment, and then nods his head +intelligently. "You are right," he says, gravely, "—there <i>might</i> +be somebody listening who could not enter into our real feelings. And +now, how about those music-lessons?"</p> + <p>"I don't want any more, thank you," says FLORA, coldly. "While +we are all in mourning for our poor, dear absurd EDDY, it seems like a +perfectly ridiculous mockery to be practicing the scales."</p> + <p>Fanning himself with his straw hat, Mr. BUMSTEAD shakes his +bushy head several times. "You do not discriminate sufficiently," he +replies. "There are kinds of music which, when performed rapidly upon +the violin, fife, or kettle-drum, certainly fill the mind with +sentiments unfavorable to the deeper anguish of human sorrow. Of such, +however, is not the kind made by young girls, which is at all times a +help to the intensity of judicious grief. Let me assure you, with the +candor of an idolized friend, that some of the saddest hours of my life +have been spent in teaching you to try to sing a humorous aria from +DONIZETTI; and the moments in which I have most sincerely regretted +ever having been born were those in which you have played, in my +hearing, the Drinking-song from <i>La Traviata</i>. Believe me, then, +my devoted pupil, there can be nothing at all inconsistent with a +prevalence of profound melancholy in your continued piano-playing; +whereas, on the contrary, your sudden and permanent cessation might at +least surprise your friends and the neighborhood into a +light-heartedness temporarily oblivious of the memory of that dear, +missing boy, to whom you could not, I hear, give the love already +bestowed upon me."</p> + <p>"I loved him ridiculously, absurdly, with my whole heart," +cries FLORA, not altogether liking what she has heard. "I'm real sorry, +too, that they think somebody has killed him."</p> + <p>Mr, BUMSTEAD folds his brown linen arms as he towers before +her, and the dark circles around his eyes appear to shrink with the +intensify of his gaze.</p> + <p>"There are occasions in life," he remarks, "when to +acknowledge that our last meeting with a friend, who has since +mysteriously disappeared, was to reject him and imply a preference for +his uncle, may be calculated to associate us unpleasantly with that +disappearance, in the minds of the censorious, and invite suspicions +tending to our early cross-examination by our Irish local magistrate. I +do not say, of course, that you actually destroyed my nephew for fear +he should try to prejudice me against you; but I cannot withhold my +earnest approval of your judicious pretence of a sentiment palpably +incompatible with the shedding of the blood of its departed object. If +you will move your dress a little, so that I can sit beside you and +allow your head to rest upon my shoulder, that fan will do for both of +us, and we may converse in whispers."</p> + <p>"My head upon <i>your</i> shoulder!" exclaims Miss POTTS, +staring swiftly about to see if anybody is looking. "I prefer to keep +my head upon my own shoulders, sir."</p> + <p>"Two heads are better than one," the Ritualistic organist +reminds her. "If a little hair-oil and powder <i>does</i> come off +upon my coat, the latter will wash, I suppose. Come, dearest, if it is +our fate to never get through this hot day alive, let us be sunstruck +together."</p> + <p>She shrinks timidly from the brown linen arm which he begins +insinuating along the back of the rustic settee, and tells him that she +couldn't have believed that he could be so absurd. He draws back his +arm, and seems hurt.</p> + <p>"FLORA," he says, tenderly, "how beautiful you are, especially +when fixed up. The more I see of yon, the less sorry I am that I have +concluded to be yours. All the time that my dear boy was trying to +induce you to relase him from his engagement, I was thinking how much +better you might do; yet, beyond an occasional encouraging wink, I +never gave the least sign of reciprocating your attachment. I did not +think it would be right"</p> + <p>The assertion, though superficially true, is so imperfect in +its delineation of habitual conduct liable to another construction, +that the agitated Flowerpot returns, with quick indignation, "your arm +was always reaching out whenever you sat in a chair anywhere near me, +and whenever I sang you always kept looking straight into my mouth +until it tickled me. You know you did, you hateful thing! Besides, it +wasn't you that I preferred, at all; it was—oh, it's too ridiculous to +tell!"</p> + <p>In her bashful confusion she is about to arise and trip shyly +away from him into the house, when he speaks again.</p> + <p>"Miss POTTS, is your friendship for Miss PENDRAGON and her +brother such, that their execution upon some Friday of next month would +be a spectacle to which you could give no pleased attention?"</p> + <p>"What do you mean, you absurd creature?"</p> + <p>"I mean," continues Mr. BUMSTEAD, "simply this: you know my +double loss. You know that, upon the person of the male PENDRAGON was +found an apple looking and tasting like one which my nephew once had. +You know, that when Miss PENDRAGON went from here she wore an alpaca +waist which looked as though it had been exposed more than once to the +rain.—See the point?"</p> + <p>FLORA gives a startled look, and says: "I don't see it."</p> + <p>"Suppose," he goes on—"suppose that I go to a magistrate, and +say: 'Judge, I voted for you, and can influence a large foreign vote +for you again. I have lost a nephew who was very fond of apples, and a +black alpaca umbrella of great value. A young Southerner, who has not +lived in this State long enough to vote, has been found in possession +of an apple singularly like the kind generally eaten by my missing +relative, and his sister has come out in a waist made of second-hand +alpaca?'—See the point now?"</p> + <p>"Mr. BUMSTEAD," exclaims FLORA, affrighted by the terrible +menace of his manner, "I don't any more believe that Mr. PENDRAGON is +guilty than I, myself, am; and as for your old umbrella—"</p> + <p>"Stop, woman!" interrupted the bereaved organist, imperiously. +"Not even your lips shall speak disrespectfully of my lost bone-handled +friend. By a chain of unanswerable argument, I have shown you that I +hold the fate of your southern acquaintances in my hands, and shall be +particularly sorry if you force me to hang Mr. PENDRAGON as a rival."</p> + <p>FLORA puts her hands to her temples, to soothe her throbbing +head and display a bracelet.</p> + <p>"Oh, what shall I do! I don't want anybody to be hung! It must +be so perfectly awful!"</p> + <p>Her touching display of generous feeling does not soften him. +On the contrary, he stands more erect, and smiles rather triumphantly +under his straw hat.</p> + <p>"Beloved one," he murmurs, in a rich voice, "I find that I +cannot induce you to make the first advance toward the mutual avowal we +are both longing for, and must therefore precipitate our happiness +myself. My poor boy would not have given you perfect satisfaction, and +your momentary liking for the male PENDRAGON was but the effect of a +temporary despair undoubtedly produced by my seeming coldness. That +coldness had nothing to do with my heart, but resulted partially from +my habit of wearing a wet towel on my head. I now propose to you—"</p> + <p>"Propose to me?" ejaculates Miss POTTS, with heightened color.</p> + <p>"—That you pick out a worthy man belonging to your own section +of the Union," he continues hastily. "Here's my Heart," he adds, going +through the motions of taking something from a pocket and placing it in +his outstretched palm, "and here's my Hand,"—placing therein an equally +imaginary object from another pocket.—"Try the H. and H. of J. +BUMSTEAD."</p> + <p>His manner is as though he were commending some patent article +of unquestionable utility.</p> + <p>"But I can't bear the sight of you!" she cries, pushing away +the brown linen arm coming after her again.</p> + <p>Taking away her fan, he pats her on the head with it, and +seems momentarily surprised at the hollow sound.</p> + <p>"Future Mrs. BUMSTEAD," he cheerfully replies, at last, "my +observation and knowledge of the women of America teach me that there +never was a wife going to Indiana for a divorce, who had not at first +sworn to love, as well as honor and obey, her husband. Such is woman +that if she had felt and said at the altar that she couldn't bear the +sight of him, it wouldn't have been in the power of masculine brutality +and dissipated habits to drive her from his side through all their +lives. There can be no better sign of our future happiness, than for +you to say, beforehand, that you utterly detest the man of your choice."</p> + <p>There is something terrible to the young girl in the original +turn of thought of this fascinating man. Say what she may, he at once +turns it into virtual devotion to himself. He appears to have a +perfectly dreadful power to hang everybody; he considers her strongest +avowal of present personal dislike the most promising indication she +can give of eternal future infatuation with him, and his powerful mode +of reasoning is more profound and composing than an article in a New +York newspaper on a War in Europe. Rendered dizzy by his metaphysical +conversation, she arises from the rustic seat, and is flying giddily +into the house, when he leaps athletically after her, and catches her +in the doorway.</p> + <p>"I merely wish to request," he says, quietly, "that you place +sufficient restraint upon your naturally happy feelings to keep our +engagement a secret from the public at present, as I can't bear to have +boys calling out after me, 'There's the feller that's goin' to get +married!

From one side of the rock in English, and from the +other in fair French.</p> + <p>I saw at once that old EK was pretty well filled.</p> + <p>Next I sang "Listen to the Mocking Bird," which it repeated +very creditably indeed, dropping but two notes on the third verse. This +it made up for, I am bound to admit, by throwing in some original +variations in the chorus.</p> + <p>But I hadn't played from my sleeve yet, so I recited HAMLET'S +Soliloquy.</p> + <p>From the wooded slope on our right came the familiar "<i>To be</i>" +of BOOTH, while from the sloping woods on our left proceeded a finely +rendered imitation of the Teutonic FECHTER, in the same.</p> + <p>This staggered me!</p> + <p>I had one more jack in my cuff, however.

I wish to +state, in confidence, that if any prominent man who can't think of +anything that sounds well, will address me, I will furnish him at the +low price of one dollar a sentence. My stock is entirely fresh and +original, and embraces such gems as—"Don't give up the ship," "Such is +Life," "How's this for high?" "I die happy," "A stitch in time saves +nine," &c., &c.</p> + <p>I am also prepared to furnish "last words of eminent men," at +a moderate compensation.</p> + <p>General GRANT has taken time by the forelock in this matter. +His "Let us have Peace," was a most brilliant effort, because nobody +ever thought of it before. "I propose to move on your works +immediately, if it takes all summer," was also a happy thought.</p> + <p>When General GRANT was in Boston he said he liked the way they +made gravy in Massachusetts. Now this in itself would not, perhaps, be +called deep, because others have said the same thing before, but, +coming from a man like GRANT, it set folks to thinking, and it is not +surprising that something of this sort went the rounds:</p> + <p style="margin-left: 40px;">We have the best authority for +stating that General GRANT, during his recent visit to Boston, remarked +that he was gratified at the manner in which gravy was produced in +Massachusetts.

I didn't hear of his +saying anything else.</p> + <p>If a popular man takes cold, the whole public sneeze.

One morning +at breakfast his tripe didn't suit him, and he immediately brained his +wife and children and set the house on fire, varying the monotony of +the scene by pitching his mother-in-law down the well, having +previously, with great consideration, touched her heart with a cheese +knife.</p> + <p>I will now quote my friends' own words:</p> + <p>"He was pronounced a hard case, manifesting no sorrow for his +act, and utterly indifferent to his approaching doom. A score of good +people had visited him with the kindest intentions, but without making +the smallest impression upon him.</p> + <p>"Without boasting, I wish to say that I knew I could touch +this man's heart. I saw a play once in which the most blood-thirsty and +brutal ruffian that ever existed was melted to tears at the mention of +his mother's name, and childhood's happy hours, and everybody knows +that what happens on the stage happens just the same in real life.</p> + <p>"I naturally congratulated myself on having seen this play, +for it gave me power to cope with this relentless disposition.</p> + <p>"He resisted all attempts at conversation, however, in the +most dogged manner, barely returning surly monosyllables to my anxious +wishes for his well being.</p> + <p>"At last, laying my hand on his shoulder, and throwing +considerable pathos into my voice, I said:</p> + <p>"My friend, it was not always thus with you.

The word seal is derived, +radically, from the German <i>Siegel,</i> so that to say a man has +"fought mit SIEGEL," is equivalent to remarking that he has assailed a +harmless and timid seal.</p> + <p>The Phocidæ, without distinction of sex, are known as +Mammafers, although it would manifestly be more correct to call the +males Papafers. Under the present classification, the confusion of +genders necessarily engenders confusion.</p> + <p>Unless AGASSIZ is gassing us, the true seal has no sign of an +ear, wherefore the deafening roar of the surf in which it delights to +sport is probably no inconvenience to it.

All the varieties of the seal seek concealment in +caverns, and their Hides are much sought after.</p> + <p>Sealing was at one time chiefly monopolized by adventurous New +Englanders, who combined the pursuit with whaling, but at present the +sealers of Salt Lake bear off the palm from all competitors, both as +regards numbers and hardihood. Whether they combine whaling with +sealing is not positively known, but probably they do. Such is the +universal passion for sealing among the people of that region, that the +old men act like Young men when engaged in this exciting occupation.</p> + <p>The Phocidæ appear to have attracted the attention of +Mankind at a very early period—Seals being frequently spoken of in the +Scriptures. St. JOHN witnessed the opening of no less than seven +varieties, and must have been well acquainted with their internal +structure.</p> + <p>The earless, or true species, are often seen in considerable +numbers on the British coast, and the Great Seal of England—only to be +found in the vicinity of the Thames—is of such remarkable size and +weight, that it never makes its appearance without producing a strong +Impression.</p> + <p>The Green Seal, a much admired variety, is peculiar to +Madeira, and seals of various colors are often seen in close proximity +to the British.

That he has come to an end, is +true—but it is to the end of his First Volume, as the <i>F.

PUNCHINELLO: I have always taken a profound interest in +Science. When a child my fond parents observed in me a decided taste +for Entomology, the wings and legs of butterflies and grasshoppers +being the objects of my special investigation. As a school-boy I +obtained (despite the frequent closing of my visual organs) +considerable Insight into Physical Science in the course of numerous +pugilistic encounters. A close Application to Optics at that time +enabled me to get some Light on the Subject.</p> + <p>I was quite a phenomenon in Astronomy. While yet an unweaned +infant I made numerous observations on the Milky Way, and when learning +to walk frequently saw stars undiscernable with the most powerful +telescope. Since my arrival at man's estate I have frequently +experimented on the Elasticity of the Precious Metals, but have +generally found it extremely difficult to make both ends meet.</p> + <p>Considering, therefore, that I had as just a claim to be +called scientific, as many who pretend to be <i>Savants</i>, I +determined to attend the late Scientific Convention at Troy. My +reception was most gratifying. On presenting my credentials to the +Convention, that learned body welcomed me with open arms, and I was +escorted to a place among the members by its distinguished head.</p> + <p>Some of the speculations of these eminent philosophers were +exceedingly profound, and it is really wonderful, Mr. PUNCHINELLO, to +what an extent theory may be carried in the advance of science.</p> + <p>Mr. GOOSEFELT read a learned and original paper—carefully +compiled from various sources—on the Steam Engine, in the course of +which he stated that his great aunt, who had been blown up on the first +steamboat that ever went down in the Mississippi, during the great +Earthquake of 1811, was still living. Also, that his godfather, the +celebrated Mr. NICODEMUS, assisted (probably in the interests of +science) in pulling down the statue of GEORGE III in the Bowling Green. +The importance of these two facts cannot be over-estimated, as they +will undoubtedly give a tremendous impulse to the wheels of science.</p> + <p>Professor GREYWACKE, the eminent Geologist, delivered an +address on Natural Petrifactions, indicating the various specimens of +Ancient Fossils by which he was surrounded, and describing their +formation. The audience was probably Petrified with astonishment at the +immense learning and research he displayed, for it observed a Stony +silence, only interrupted by an occasional snore.</p> + <p>A brilliant paper on the Illuminating Power of Gas was read by +Professor M.T. HEAD. It was a most Luminous production, and proved +conclusively that an immense expenditure of gas sometimes throws very +little Light on any Subject. The Professor is thoroughly versed in +Meters, and is the author of the "Volume of Gas" which has attracted so +much attention in the scientific world.</p> + <p>Professor SUETT addressed the Scientists on the Effect of +Tallow upon Ox(h)ides. From certain experiments made by him it appears +that the Oleaginous principle is incompatible with Water, and +unfavorable to the action of rust.</p> + <p>A member was of the opinion that this important discovery +might be turned to great practical advantage, as the application of +cart grease to rusty iron axles might possibly facilitate the rotary +motion of the wheels.</p> + <p>This novel and valuable suggestion was hailed with shouts of +applause, and the thanks of the Convention were immediately voted to +the distinguished member, whose name I have unfortunately forgotten.</p> + <p>Professor HYDRAGE read an Essay on the Transit of Mercury, +which he said would take place in the form of a Bed Precipitate in +1878. It may possibly take place before then, however, as the Faculty +of Medicine are said to be rapidly abandoning the use of calomel.</p> + <p>The State Conchologist read an extremely interesting +disquisition on the Oyster, which was divided into sections and +literally devoured by the audience. He also exhibited some Specimens of +Conchs, which were regular Sneezers in point of size.</p> + <p>An announcement which was made by the distinguished +Astronomer, Professor LOONEY, created a most profound sensation.</p> + <p>He stated that with the aid of a powerful telescope he had +discovered an immense Fissure in the Moon. He was quite positive that +he had also observed a Man in the Gap. Although unable to distinguish +the features of this individual, he thought it might possibly be JAMES +STEPHENS, the missing Fenian Head Centre.</p> + <p>When the excitement consequent upon this startling +announcement had subsided, I rose and addressed the Convention as +follows:</p> + <p>"Ladies and Gentlemen: I cannot express, in words, the +profound gratification with which I have listened to the learned and +eloquent addresses which have just been delivered. The advancement of +Science is an object which is worthy the efforts of such distinguished <i>savants</i> +as I see around me, and to this object they have brought that +profundity of learning which is only to be gathered from the perusal of +elementary text books, that almost strabismal acuteness of perception +which enables them to descry such great scientific truths as can be +discovered through an orifice in a barn door, and that wonderful power +of discrimination which enables them to distinguish between the seed of +the leguminous plant known as the bean, and the other vegetable +productions of Nature, when the bag is open.</p> + <p>As an humble member of the Brotherhood of Science, I desire to +contribute, in however insignificant a degree, to the Great Cause of +Learning. I will therefore, with Your Permission, read" (loud cries of +'No! No!' 'Put him out!' etc., to which of course I paid no attention,) +"the following papers: 'An Inquiry as to Whether Diptheria has anything +to do with the Migration of the Swallow,' 'On the possibility of +straightening the curve of the African Shin Bone.' 'On Marine Plants +and Deep Sea Currents.' 'On the Laws of Mechanics, with observations on +the Mechanic's Lien Law and the By-Laws of Trades Unions.' 'Some +Reflections on Reflection.' 'The Connection between Mathematics and +Versification, as illustrated by LOGARHYTHMS.' 'Minute Experiments with +the Hour-Glass,' and 'Important Speculations on the Sea Changes.'"</p> + <p>I proceeded to read the first of the above named papers, but +before I had got very far, Mr. PUNCHINELLO, I was interrupted by a +peculiar sound, which I at first took for subdued applause, but which, +on investigation, I found proceeded from the noses of the audience. In +short, Mr. P., both audience and Convention were in a profound slumber. +Considerably mortified, I withdrew in silence. I am determined, +however, that my theses shall not be lost to posterity. I intend to +have them published, and to send you a copy of each.</p> + <p>Profoundly yours,</p> + <p>CHINCAPIN.</p> + <br> + <hr style="width: 45%;"> <br> + <p><b>Pearing Time.</b></p> + <p>We learn that "some of the pear trees in Suffolk County are +now in blossom."
