E A few days since one of the Metro
politan cars was stopped for the purpose OF
taking up an elderly lady and sckly look
ing little girl. In the car were ten females,
five on a scat, and the seats will carry nine.
Every inch of room seemed occupied, for the
occupants of the car were fashionably dressed,
and their skirts expanded like peacocks' tails
No one offered the old lady seat, or made
room for her, or seemed to care whether she
was tired or rested. For moment the old
lady scanned the faces Of those before her.
and then she smiled at the want of courtesy
which characterize females of the preseat age.
81 say, you," the old lady exclaimed
nudging the knee of the nearest female, and
pointing to the little girl.
'.Did you speak to NE 2" demanded the
astonished female, on her dignity immedi-
atcly.
why, yes want to know if you would
believe this little girl Jst come out of the
ship fever hospital at Deer Island ?'
Ten hands delicately gloved were raised
toward the beil-strap, and ten voices were
shrilly raised for the cars to stop, and in less
than one minute the old lady and the girl had
the vehicle TO themselves.
'Wall. DECLARE" exclaimed the old lady,
81 forgot to tell 'em that there warn't any
patients there sick with the fever Eowev-
er, I'll let 'em know it the next time we meet.
Take seat, dear, and make yourself at
