He always carries the same grim, murky,
repulsivs scowl upon his ugly face, and his
impotence would shame the devil and his ia
inily. He has been upon the road until he is

community. lie seems, by his snake-like
cunning, to have SO firmly fastened himself
upon the corporate body of tho company,
that, notwithstanding the cutlery that is con-
stantly pouring forth against him, no meas
ures are adopted to relieve the public Of his
loathsome offices. His little brief authority
has made of him finished ass, and his nat
uraly sordid disposition has made him simply
hateful. I would philanthropically advise
the company to transfer him to the gravel
train MS dirt is his natural element. In an
swer to his demands for our tickets, l inform
ed him that we had none, and here a good OPP
portunity was presented for indulgence in his
servile incivility. He looked us savagely in
the face, and in voice that would make the
flesh of any Christian Creep said that he
should each charge us ten cents xtra,
for not procuring our tickets at tho office, but
collected would remain in his own eapscious
pockets or find its way to the Golfers OF the
company. Oh, no.
This we knew, however, to BIO the law of

our vision by gazing out upon tho trees and
waving fields of golden grain. The cars sped
rapidly onward through hill and vale, whzA
zing over bridges and rushing through forests
until the towering spires Of straight-laced
doomed up in the distance. As
we approached the depot the usual gathering

gentlemen buttoned up their coats, placed
their hands on their pocket books, Chose
that had Them and the children in arms, in
Iurhance, set up lusty squalls, In this, the
usual plight, we entered the depot, and then
followed a universal stampede, every person
looking out for No. and bidding the devil
lake the lindmost. Just upon reaching the
street we were beset by an army with whips,
who insisted tenaciously on our taking fifty
cents worth of carriage ride, and it was via h
he greatest difficulty that we could persuade
hem to excuse us spending our money in
hat way. We preferred omnibus transpoE-
alton at six cents head and accordingly 4

eats in the one nearest at hand, we were in |
| short time safely deposited at the Exchange
rom which we made our way directly to Wal
