food for his exeron it strikes u.s. in the vcsstudes of
railroad riding We would advise a series of cartoons
illustrative of the various stages Of exhaustion and the
different attitudes chosen for comfort by gentleman
journeyng six eight, three four hundred miles
continuously The first would represent a young and
spirited gentleman elegantly dressed and careful of ETH
quette, entering the with his carpetbag and cane.
The second after fifty miles, would exhibit his clothes
covered with DUST his hat knocked little to one side
torn paper at his feet and halfresd novel his side
One hundred miles would have elevated his feet the
next seat got the carpetbag behind him. and converted
the elegance into very dirty and doubtful condition.
The fourth cartoon would show the feet higher than the
head the hat ruined the collar spoiled the general beauty
gone, and very perceptibe state of bad temper in its
place. The plan might fill gallery. In sketch the
feet should be upon the seat and the knees in partnership
with the chin In another the position of the knees and
chin being the same, the traveller would be lying upon
his back. Now he is sleeping very uncomfortaby Anon
he wakes very angriy with pain in every bone and
