A smart station ARenf.

Some years ago, shortly after the intro
duction of The Illinois Central road through
that portion Of Illinois known as i" Egypt"
an honest countryman. who had lived
some forty years or thereabout in blissful
ignorance Of everything pertaining to the
'kers,' was appointed station agent at
c., one of those little out-of- tne-way
places where. as Dickens says, "no one
corld by any possibility want to get of or
on" On receiving his instructions he
was told. among other things, that, as
c. was merely a" flag station" trains
would stop only when some one wished to
get of or on; and that if he wanted to
stop any train he must g flag" it.
Shortly after his appointment, accor-
dinghy, rs the Email L. came laundering
on. he placed the magic red flag in posi-
tion-the signal to stop.
As the car drew up to the station the
conductor jumped off on the platform. with
his accustomed ..All aboard 2" Ut tie same
ii ne asking if there were "any passen-
gers to get on!"
"Waal, not as knows Of" was the
puzzled agents reply.
s'sThen what did you stop the train for"
shouted the irate conductor.
II didn't know but some un might want
to get off :" said the obliging "agent" in
q conscious tone Of injured innocence.

LONDON correspondent. gives the follow
ing anecdote of Nathan Rothschild
The bank OF. England having refused to
discount large bill drawn on him. he
gathered all the five pound notes he could
procure in England and on the continent,
and presented himself at the bank. He
drew from his pocket-book a Ave pound
note. and they naturally counted out five
sovcregns The baron examined one by
one the coins. and put them into little
canvas bag, then drawing out another note.
"A third-a tenth-a huudredth, he never
put the pieces Of gold into the bag without
scrupulously examining them, and in some
instances trying them in the balance, as, he
said, "the law gave HIM the right to do so.
The first pocket book being emptied, and
the first bag full. he passed them to his
clerk, and received q secont, and thus con-
tinued till the close of the bank. The
baron had employed seven hours to change
eel ZOO. But as he had also nine employees
Of his house engaged in the same manner,
it resulted that the house Of Rothschild had
drawn eel 900 in gold from the bank, and
that he so occupied the tellers that no other
person could change . single note. The
next day he returned, much to the amuse-
ment Of the people at his pique. but they
laughed no longer when the king of bankers
said, with ironic simplicity, these geatle
men refuse 70 pay my bills, and | have
sworn not to keep theirs. A; their leisure,
only. notify them that | have enough to
employ them for two months
...For two months?'
".Eleven millions in gold drawn from

ssed =
:. The bank took alarm; there was some
thing to be done. The next morning notice
appeared in the journals that henceforth
the bank would pay Rothschild's bills the

A very good story is told Of railroad
conductor, running train not a thousand
miles from Buffalo. A certain "chap !"
was found on board his train one day,
who "had not time to get ticket" and
compelled the conductor to make change.
The passenger handed the conductor .
$500 7.3O. on which had accrued four or
FIVE months interest. This was the
smallest change he had" "Never
mind" said the conductor, very coolly, at
the same time drawing from his "other
pocket large roll Of greenbacks. The
.change" was speedily made. and the
conductor resumed his call for . tickets. !"
That interest,"" cried tho passenger.
" Not due yet," says the conductor, and
went on his way-$l5 or $40 better of,
on account Of his unlucky passenger.
