A POLITE RAILROAD EMPLOYEE We find
the following complimentary notice Of Mr. B.
G. PAUL, in the Lynchburg News of yesterday
morning. 1t is deserved, and Mr.. Paul is not
the only officer of the passenger trains on the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad who merits
the thanks of travellers: -* -...
"On Wednesday last a circumstance occur
red on the Orange railroad, so unusual in its
character, that beg you will allow me space
IN your paper to make it public. The writer
is resident of New Orleans, and on the day
named, in company with my family, l was
returning to my home from the North, having
large quantity Of baggage (6 trunks which
were checked through to New Orleans. Deter
mining, when near Lynchburg, to stop there
for day or SO, | went to the baggage master
on the train, and requested him to change my
checks so as to permit my baggage to be put
off here. We this request he promptly and
court ously complied, without word Of OBJ
lection or complaint, although he had his re-
ceipt book already prepared for signature at
the point of transfer [ am an old traveller,
and my experience taught me to doubt the sue
cess of my application, or if granted, to have
the favor accorded surly and grudgingly, and
upon the payment of consideration in money,
and you may judge Of my surprise and gratii-
cation at the marked contrast exhibited on
this occasion. | offered to pay the baggage
master fer his trouble, but he positively refused
to accept a cent, saying that he did no more
than what his duty and courtesy to Traveller
required of him. AS | have said l AIN an old
traveller, and there arc but few roads IN the
United States upon which have, not travelled,
but have yet to fed an official OF the class
named, who, If he consented to the change OF
checks at all, land the majority of them abso-,
lutely reiuse) did so with so much cordial
courtesy and politeness as the young gentle
man speak of whose name asccrtalncd to be
Mr.. B. c. PAUL..
La the hope that this may meet his eye, that
he may see am not unmiudful of his kindness,
and thanking you for the favor accorded me in
the publication Of this note, | am yours, &C.,
\ TRAVELLER.
