On Saturday last, Goth ult., we
started from Columbia by the II

about us as..to who our fellow.passengers
might be, we discovered, sitting in
very dignifcd attitude, and, make be-
lieve, reading newspaper, very
finely dressed mulatto. From time to
time he rolled his eyes uneasily from
behind his paper taking notes of how
much he was noticed. He evidently
was some ill advised niger on ram
page after social equality. There be-
gan to be some feeling of annoyance
manifested by the passengers, just then
the conductor, Mr.. Gormley, came
round collecting tickets. When he
camo to this man he remarked, "hav'nt
you made mistake p "No sir, I paid
for first class ticket" "Oh, you did i,
well we'll see." On arriving ut the
first station, (Killian's) we suspected
there was something intended, such as
the election of the noxious intruder.
We we're looking intently through the
window, when the door opened behind
us and in walked an enormous negro,
black as a GOAL, greasy and dirty, and
in high state of effervescence, fat

and carrying oarpet-bag. IIo walk

now turned to the little drama, which,
we believe no negro minstrels ever
equalled. "Gwine fur :" said Sam.
"To New York;" All, to New York

a good long ride together. A-a, h-legis-

time Mister became conscious of the
fact that the whole car was in strong
commissions, when seizing his carpet
bag, he made for the door and left for
the second class car.

his sleepy eyes and slowly expanded
