ECCENTRICITIES OF • RAILWAY SPICULATOL
Tbe Bristol risen tells the following stories respecting the
lets Mr. Crawshay, the great ironmeeterr:—At the time
when the "Railway King," George Hudson, reined
triumphant, and the simmers:dal world was plunging into
a vortex of speculation, Mr. Crawahay was allotted a large
quantity of stock in concerns in which Mr. Hods= was
interested. A gentleman, well known to us, called oo the
great ironmaster one day, who showed him the scrip of
these speculations, observing, "There, I could get 40,0004
in the market for these to-morrow." " Then, why doe%
Cyou sell them, sir?" was the inquiry. " No, no," said Mr.
rawshay, "you don't know what • man that Hudson is."
The 40,000 i. was never realised, for the crash won came.
and amongst the sufferers was an old domestic .errant of
Mr. Crawshay's,who, tempted by the sworn of others. bad
invested his entire savings, amounting to between 4dri.
and 5001. " Well," said his master, on heariag of his
servenVedisaater, " a pretty fool you have made of yourself
—lost all your money, I bear, in these railways.'
"Yes, sir," was the sad response; "too true, air, as
true." " Why, how could you have been such a foil,
man?" asked Kr. Crawshay. The servant could only co-
ply that he had heard his muter had • large stun le Mr.
Hudson's railways, and he thought he could not go fu
wrong if he followed in his master's steps. " Humph,'
said Mr. Crawshay, " I thought as much—there's woe
thing in that—you shan't lose, I'll pay the money;' serf
he gave a cheque for the entire sum. Another awakes
may be told am illustrative of his eccentricity and main
humour. He was exceedingly fond of prdeniar. sad
most of the operations carried on in his gardens and hot-
houses were under his own superintendence. It was a
subject of much annoyance to him when his plisses
would not implicitly follow his directions, but prefeend
putting in practice some theory of their own. "They we
eo confoundedly conceited, " he would say, " one csn'tget
them to do as they are told." Upon one occasion,
when engaging • gardener to fill the place of ms
who had been dismissed for not acting in newel-
anoe with his master's commands, Mr. Crawshay too:
the opportunity to give the new comer a abort lecture,
which he concluded by observing :—" There, I bare told
you what to do ; but I don't suppose you'll stay bore
longbe lke all the rest, so coufaundolly 144.
headed and conceited." The man expressed his walk:.
nets to follow his master's instructions, and after he lid
been employed about a fortnight his professions of obese
ence were put to the task Mr. Crawshey Calle win t 4
garden one day iu early spring, and, pointing to a roe of
gooseberry trees, abruptly told the gardener to take thin
all up and stick the branches into the earth, leaving !le
roots turned upwards. "They don't seem to grow utst?
are," be remarked, "so nu try my plan." Mr. Clarksl
then turned away abruptly, whilst the gardener widget
making any reply, immediately sot to work. In a fee
hours the job was completed, and upon Mr. Crawsluy
turning and finding that his coo:monis bad been oillsd•
lie observed :—" That's all right ; put 'ern hack ,PM•
only did it to try ye ; you'll do ; I believe I've ;it aWe
sible fellow at last." _
