SMAsuINo DAaaAGE. Will the editor of
Alexandria Gazette please copy the following
article from the i.ynchbnrg News, and there
by call attention to provoking evil? The
writer has lately seen examples OF what is
below stated. A SUFFERER
PORTER, SPARE THAT Trunk at this
season the above is 4 daily and hourly request
at the station Oh all the lines Of railways; but
it is by tar too often vain request, for down
goes The trunk with crash the lock is bro
ken, and the contents Of the unfortunate re-
ceptacle are scattered over the ground to the
lislnay of the owner and the alarm Of other
travellers around, who are left to anticipate L
similar mishap to their own baggage II the
sufferer he L lady, and, as happens every now
then, without q male escort, she is obliged to
look helplcssly at her dresses and articles OF
toilette rolled in the dust and dirt and, If
gathered up and slowed away in the trunk by
some good natured person near, they are in Il
sorry plight. The porter or baggage man, IN
stead of apologizing for the mischief which he
has carclessy done, will most likely be heard
to growl as if he had duly exercised one OF his
reserved rights Baggage masters and their
assistants are often equally as reckless as the
suriy porter, of regard Tor the property en-
trusted to their charge, as shown IN the way in
which they toss about trunks and other lug
rage, or throw them from one part of the car
to another. Ladies are not the on y sufferers
by this practice. 1t may be alleged that these
eases are exceptional, and Of rare occurrence.
Most travellers will tell us, in reply, that these
are incidents witnessed on every long line Of
railroad, and especially in the summer season,
when SO many leave their homes in pursuit OF
health and pleasure Very pleasant, indeed,
to have ones trunk smashed and clothes
spoiled There seems to be 4 fixed determine
ton on the part of porters who handle luggage,
to test the strength Of trunks, and, as far as in
their power, snap the iron bands, to break off
straps, which they seize hold of in the place of
the handles, and to wrench hasps and bolts OF
locks from their taStenings. There is IN APP
parent trial to ascertain which has the greatest
power of resistance-,he trunk, or the pave
mcnt, or Che platform, when the first is brown
down as if it were in the performance OF some
symnastic Leaf for 4 wager Is 1t not time
that there should be I class OF civilized trunk
carriers--of men who understand that they
should be careful of goods entrusted tn their
care p

The WRoNG MAN.-The Fall River
Ne1Os relates the following amusing in
cident which occurred a few days since
in a neighboring city. "a worthy
couple well to do in the world few
wears ago, had q son who often strayed
from the path of rectitude, and went
on the most disgraceful spree. Marry
ing, he reformed. and for some years
has been as steady as could be desired.
A short time since an intoxicated man
tumbled into a drug store, and was
Immediately recognized by the keeper
as Mr.. s., who had been so long re-
formed. Word was Immediately sent
to his parents. and coming they took
him home. He was covered with mud
but they went to work bravely and
pulled off his clothes, washed his feet,
put on clean linen, and tum5led him
into the best bed. The mother, with
futtering heart, took her way to her
sons house to inform his wife of the
husbands disgraceful condition.
What was her smszement, when. after
telling, with tears and sobs, the sad
occurrence, to be invited into the bed
room, where her son was sleeping
soundly. having retired earlier than
usual. Careful investigation showed
the fellow sleeping carefully in her
best bed, to be one of the dirtiest and
worst drunkard in the city. His fea-
lures we're something like her sons,
but that did not save his being dragged
out of bed and escorted to the watch
house"

A PARALLEL TO THE HowLASD WILL
CAsE.-A correspondent writes to the
Pail Mall Gazette: Some years ago
gentleman was sued by one of his
friends before the Civil Court in Rome
on promissory note. The defendant
pleaded that the signature was a for
gerry. The Judge desired the attend
ants to summon Toto. q wellknown
scribe, who earned his livelihood by
writing letters for peasants and making
out petitions for aims asked by some
of his neighbors from the Judge and
other wealthy persons. Toto was de-
sired to turn expert, and help tho
judge to ascertain the truth ofthe de
fendanps plea. The plaintiff had
brought with him an unquestionable
signature of the defendants ATTACHED
to letter, and the case was adjourned
until Toto could make his report next
morning. Without any hesitation, he
said: IF the court will lay the prom
issory note upon the letter it will be
found that the two signatures cover
point for point, the same space, and
it is impossible for any man who writes
freely to make two signatures so per-
fectly identical, and [ am sure that
the promissory note was not signed by
the defendant, but that his signature
was traced from his letter. Thejudge
at once decided in favor Of the defend
ant"

. How TO GET INTo THE LADIES CAR
At the junction, clean. well-dressed
man attempted to enter the rear car of
the train, but was stopped by the
brakeman, and told to go to the next
car forward, as the rear one was re-
served for ladies, and gentlemen &C
companied by ladies. A merry twinkle
was in the young mans eye as he
stepped from the car to the platform.
He walked straight to a robust and
somewhat remarkable representative
from the land of shamrock, and very
courteously offered to assist her, in
transporting her bundles, which were
neither few nor light, to the train
The words, "May the good Lord bless
your honor" were the only ones that
reached me; but it was evident that
his kind offices were accepted. Then,
after some conversation in an under
tone, the pair who had recently, and
in plain view Of Mr.. Brakeman, become
travelling companions, approached the
forbidden car. When about to enter,
the brakeman interposed his person,
and directed them to go to the next
car. The man insisted that his lady
and himself had, under the rule laid
down, right to enter. The brakeman
replied: at is not your lady" The
traveller turning confidently to his
new-found appendage. asked, in the
most winning way, "Arn't you, my
dear 2" THE woman had cheeks Ike
cheese rind, and nose like piece of
decayed beef-steak.) Clearly, and to
the point, came the answer, "Sure, !
am, darlint." There was no resisting
such proofs. and the pair marched in
triumph to a seat, amid rosrs of laugh
ter from the passengers, who had been
attentive spectators ofthe scene.-Wis-
