RATHER IsaulsIrrvE We heard a friend relate the
accompanying incident the other day with little
zest and to the amusement Of good many bysiandeIs:
Jumping into od.fashioned sage-coach last month,
company with nine others, jostle ten miles Of
unfinished road between Pitlsburg and Philadelphia,
very much amused with the following characteristic
dialogue between regular question: asking "down-
er" and hig hheeled southernsr. We were scarcely
seated before our Yankee began:
Travelling East expec,'"
"Goin' to Philadelphia, reckon'"
"No, sir"
"oh, ali to New York, mayber
"Yes, SIR"
"Calc'la,in' 10 buy goods, presume /"
"No, sir
Never ben there before, wouldn't wonder'"
mo, sir, never"
"New York is wonderful place"
"Snch is my impression, SIR"
SCOT letters, eypecti"
"Yes. sir; am provided with letters of introduction"
"Wolldn't mind shown you reOund myself spell, if
q" thank you sir; but shall not require your assist
ance"
This last remark of the polite but reserved stranger
poser; and the "inquisitor" fell back moment to
take breath and change his tactics The half
smile upon the faces of le other passengers aroused
the Yankee to still further exerons and he began again
Stranger. perhaps you are not aware how almighty
hard ii Is for Yankee 10 control his curiosity. You'll
please excuse me, but | really would like to know
your name and residence, and the business you follow
expect you amt ashamed OF either OF EN-; so now
won't you just obleege me |"
This last appeal brought out our southern friend who
rising up 10 tue EXTREMIST height allowed by the COACH
and throwing back his shoulders, replied
my name is General Andrew Washington | reside
in the State of Mississippi am gentleman Of leisure
and am glad TO be able 10 say OF extensive means
have heard much OF New York, and am now on my
way TO see it and if like well as am led TO sus
peel, intend io-buyi"
Then was heard shout of sentoran laughter through
out the stage coach ard this the last OF that con
versation.
