Now, In view Of the fact that, except

The attempt OF the Democrat and
New Era TO conceal fact that must

How Conductors are ''Spotted."

Perhaps there is no class Of employees
who have greater inducements or better
opportunities to pilfer, with less fear of
detection, than conductors on steam rail
roads. They receive great deal of
money, and must necessarily be left to
render their own account Of it, and the
correctness OF their returns consequently
depends in great degree upon their hon
esty. The well-established weakness of
human nature requires that some sort of
surveillance be exercised upon them, and
this is done by "spotters," detectives who
make running a railroad" a business,
and are extensively employed by the diff
ferent railroad companies.
"To "r run road" successfully requires
the outlay of considerable capital, as the
operation consumes from three weeks to
three months, and requires the services of
from six to dozen men, or even more,
according to the length of the road ope-
rated upon, and the number of its
branches. There must also be taken into
consideration the number of trains run
daily to and from certain points, and the
average number of cars in train, as each
car has to be covered by certain number
of operatives.
Upon starting out to run road each
operative is furnished with written in
structions, printed blanks, which specify
the number of the "run," the points to and
from, the time of departure and arrival
of the train, the car he is to enter, whether
passenger, baggage. or smoking car its
Location in the train, the seat he is to oc-
cupy, either right side or left, and its num-
Der counting from the forward end of the
car, the end nearest the engine.
Each operative is furnished with an
outfit of stationery, which includes report
and expense paper, blank cards, envelopes,
pens, and lead pencils. Thus prepared,
the detectives leave their quarters for the
place agreed upon for starting point,
each one going singly and by different
route, so as not to excite suspicion. Upon
arriving at the train, each operative enters
the car and takes the seat assigned him in
his instructions. If he is late in reaching
the train, and finds the seat already occu-
pied, he takes the next nearest unoccuped
one and keeps it till he reaches his jour
ney's end, unless otherwise ordered.
The least experienced "spotter" is
placed in the forward part of the car,
about the fourth or fifth seat from the
front; the next most experienced is placed
on the opposite side, in about the eighth
seat, while the most experienced one takes
his seat in the extreme end Of the car
Neither Of the operatives is expected to
make notes of fares other than those paid
by passengers occupying seats between
himself and the operative ahead Of him ;
although il often occurs that the operative
in the forward part Of the car will see a
fare paid in the rear end Of 1t sufficiently
plainly tn enable him to make correct
report Of il. But an operative in trying to
note fares paid by passengers in the rear
of him, must use extra care and caution,
30 that he does not excite the suspicion of
either the conductor or passengers for

Rips Philosophy.

Van Winkle, when his wife reminds him
of the farm that he drank up.
"NO, it amt"

if was you. I'd let them bodder bout it
vot it belongs to EN-"
While there should be lesson in the
career of Rip by which he lost his acres,
there is much sense in his philosophy
The world abounds in people who are
bordering" themselves about what don't
belong to them. Sometimes it is riches
that have taken unto themselves wings, at
other times lost opportunities that were
not taken advantage of, and again it is
youth forever gone. Men sometimes spend
sufficient time in mourning lost fortune
to make another, miss fifty opportunities
of the present bewailing one that is passed,
and render their old age miserable, repin.
ing because their youth had fled. In all
such cases they need a little of Rips phil
osophy, though they need not draw 1t
from the same source, and "iet them bod

THE OLD RED GATE
BY DORA DAVIS.

ONCE more in the dying day.
By the old red gate stand:
The clover lies green at my feet.
It's blossoms are white in my hand {,
While shadows the locusts are waving,
With a dull, unacknowledged pain,
For time to come back | am wishing,
With the gift of my youth again
Oh TO stand in the amber light.
With my beautiful dark-eyed love,
When the clover lay green at our feet,
And the locusts were blooming above
To hold a white hand at parting,
And touch the red lips of the girl.
When the moon rose over the lakelet.
Which shone like an Orient pearl.
She is lying asleep in the churchyard,
Meath blossom. and bow. ana vine:
Ny name is inscribed on the eadstone-
The name that was hers and mine;
And garlands of wild clematis
Are shrouding the dark eyed Kate,
Whose lips met mine when we parted,
Way down by the old red gate.
The daisies were whitening the hillside,
And Cemming like stars the heath.
When I stood with my pale-faced darling
Close down by the waves of death;
So close that heard in fancy
The rush of the itful tide,
And the dripping oars of the boat1nan
Who waited away my bride.
All, well; the years that have fingered,
SO freighted with sorrow and care,
For the saint-white face in the coffin
Have silvered the brown of my hair.
am looking from life's west window,
The sky is cloudless and clear:
But know by the lengthening shadows
The sunset of death is near.
When the bells that rang at my wedding
For iOy. shall sOlem1ly toll:
And the fortress. so frail and stricken,
No longer shall prison my soul;
In The light OF the glad tom orrow,
I'll go from the old red gate,
To fiuf in the great hereafter
Nv beautiful, dark-eyed Kate.

Invited to his Wife's Wedding.

A DAY or two ago letter directed to the
POSTMASTER, Buffalo, New York." bear
ing the signature, Your friend" was re-
ceived at the office in this city. The letter
was mailed at Winchenden, Mass, and
was in the words following, to wit;
"Mr o. B-d: Your wife is soon
to be married. If you wish to come to
her wedding, come soon."
And then followed-on the reverse-the
following request:
"Plesse to hand this to B---d if he
can be found in the place. He is ma
chinist by trade"
We do not know where to find B--d
just now but would say to him that the
least he could possibly do, under the cir.
cumstances, would be to accept the invita-.
ton and attend the nuptials. If man
won't accept an invitation to his own
wife's wedding, we'd like to know what
he would accept. According to our way
Of thinking, it is the best thing he could
possibly do.-Byfdlo Commercial.

COOP MANNERS NECESSARY IN OFFICIALS
The New York Times says; The President OF
the United States on i casual visit TO this city
passing from Long Branch to the Hudson river
summer residence of Secretary Fish had occa
sion on Tuesday to call, alone, on business at
the Office of the United States District Attor-
ney Judge Pierrepont, it seems was out OF
town, but to arrive at this fact, and the further
information as to when he would be in the city,
the President was subjected to several very curt,
not to say rude, replies from one OF Judge
Pierrepont's assistants. In the sequel the
identity OF the President was discovered, and
an awkward apology rendered, as it would not
have BEEN probably. TO less conspicuous per-
sonage, though really due to any gentleman
who might have taken exception to the incivil-
ity OF this thoughtless deputy servant of the
Government. We hope the lesson in good
manners growing out OF this incident may be
properly improved, and that hereafter all civil
applicants, whether of low or high degree, for
informstion at our public Offices will be met

FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST Is.

EIopEMENT OF. A YOUNG GIRL WITH NJ
GRO MINSTREL. particulars of the elopc-
mcnt of Miss Lena Warren Brown, pretty
girl fifteen years of age with one Lewis Cole,
who is about twenty years old and q negro
minstrel BY profession, are given in the Boston
papers. 1t appears that Cole was in the habit
OF calling at the house of Mrs. Brown on va
rious errands, and thus became acquainted
with Lena. No suspicion was entertained by
the family that the girl looked upon Cole other
than as an acquaintance, and no spec al watch
was kept upon either of them. On Tuesday
evening last Cole called at the house and while
he was there Lena put on her bonnet and
slipped out OF doors, followed shortly after by
Cole. The couple went directly to the Old
Colony depot and took the 9 o'clock boat train
for New York. The iugitiyes were traced.to
the residence of Coles mother in New York by
the police, and when the girls mother arrived
in New York the marriage certificate was pro-
duced, and, OF course, her efforts to save the
child were all in vain. To the tears, eutIeatles
and prayers Of her mother to return home,
Lena proved uuyielding, but we understand
that efforts will be made to prove that the
marriage was consummated under false repre-
sentation, and thus obtain a separation Of the
clipping couple.
