A Rich scene.

Is curious 10 see how the gentleman" ind the
"iady," as well as .he hog and the ''bear''
stick out in the httle indications which people
manifest In travelling, more Than under any 9TH
er circumstances.
The following article, taken from an ex-
change, illustrates the great necessity Of such
oracle Tor the migratory multitude:
PRETTY AND GRAcEFUL.-ft IL now
days very common affair TO see two ladies' ~
enter railroad car, half an hour before the time
for the leaving of the train, throw The back Of
Vne seat over so as to sit Wis I; Wis, lumber the
spare room with shaws, bundles, aud bandboxes.
and when the cars beginto be filled up, take ev
cry Precaullon 10 prevent any one from occupying
what should be vacant seats, and in many instan.

of accommodation would allow them comlorta-

by the conductor, thai when they buy a ticket,

None OF us bnt have had similar scenes come
under our notice. We are reminded, at this ms
ment, OF singular movement on the part OF an
individual 10 the Central Railroad cars, which
came under our observation few weeks ago--.a
movement which combined in striking degree
al once the judicial and the executive in the per-
son OF single self appointed Fighter Of human
wrongs.
Two ladies', iashonabIy dressed and apparent

pied places referred to, but all TO no purpose
When at last, an elderly gentleman and his wife,
coming in, meekly requested place, the Young
lady, who sat with her brazen face towards the
passengers, consented to allow the ladu of the
new corners 10 sit opposite her, but no mortal
would she permit TO occupy the seat by her side.
consequently the husband was compelled to find
an asylumin some remote part of the car. The
Indignation and contempt of all the passen-
gers had, by this time, attained about the muir
muring pitch, but things went on in this way,

looking chap, whosat directly opposite the elder

With ssnperciousness that was tbeautifal TO
see, her lddyship replied
"No, | thank you, Sir. want this seat for
my baggage, and shall moi give it,up to any,

from the corrugated face of the countryman, and
the young lady, with mingled alarm and indisna-
ton, fastened TO reply

I'm not to be insuted with impunity.''
I'm responsible was his only answer, as he
led the old gentleman to bis own seat and i'm
medlately commenced crowding into place BY
the side of the young lady. This movement she
resisted srenuously, when, encircing her waist
with his brawny arm, he lifted her up, as though
she were child, planted her down firmly at the
further end of the seat, and settled himself com
forIably into his place.

The reader may well suppose there were

over the sudden retribulion that had beiaen the
