N, Cobb Il be would jump Of the dock to awe

,h., be would to save his mother The seccnd ques-
,;on involves a matter Of female apparel Including,
suppose. hoops. bonnetss peitooats, &c. The is =
fereIt men are affected in different degrees by female
dress ard dressed females. Mr.. &. apparently has
given this branch of the subject deep attention, es be
lays great stress on ladies' dress The case as al hrs
presented, uhderstsnd follows: Mr.. Cobb, instead
Of making spread-eagle Of himself when another
male passenger enters the car, moves up and makes
room for him, chen female enters, and Mr. T.
resigns his ses.. When the car is over full
another female eutersas for that matter oil who ride
in the city know that as many as apply or en-
trance obtain it, up to a point Ct sufocston. Now
we reach the point where Mr. Cobb, on the strength
Of not making the sforementicned spfead.eagie Of
himself demands as O right that the male passenger
referred to should Immediately resign his seat TO the
last female passenger, and the gentleman refusing
MrC becomes 10 Indignant that lie writes to the papers
on the part of that particular male to give up his seat
than any other man in tho car. In European cities
this matter is regulated by law when the seats Of the
public vehicles are full sign is put up, "Full."
From that time they do not attempt to take up pas
sepger until vacant seat occurs. Enough vehicles
are put on to accommodate the public, and pays.
New for the sallsnty branch Of the subject pa.sen.
gers enter car pay their fare, and take what they
are entitled to, seat. gentleman is always willing
to accommodate lady when is put on the footing
Of special act Of poteness, but when Railroad Com.
panes make regular business of packing people in
car like behring's 10 box in order that one car may
do the business Of two, and therefore swell their
profits the Gaze becomes different. There are very
many good hearted and extremely polite men
who object to be imposed upon in this
outrageous manner. They do not wish BY their
own act to encourage the imposition. Ifevery gen
eman who rides in city car should srsbly retain
his seat and not give up to any female except under
extraordinary circumstances, however grating to their
feelings it might be- they would coon be amply repaid
by ladies obtaining seats as right instead Of as now
on sufferance or by appealing to the compassion of
perfect strangers for What is theirs by right Of pay;
ment The railroad companies, finding their game OF
imposition played out would then put on enough cars
to accommodate the public. 1t is only gentlemen IKE
Mr.. Cobb whose hearts alone not soft, that re-
'-'N '"'' POLITE MAN.
WILL NOT BIZ IMPOSED UPON.
