What Was said on the Cars.

town, surcitcd with the praise shOwered upon the
paper which he represented, the reporter jumped
with the agility OF weli-trained acrobat upon car
No. IS OF the Broadway line, and flung OF from his
feet the filth that Captain Thorne's satellites
ought to have carted away during the sunny hours
OF last week.
The conductor Of this car was wit, o satirist
and one who bore all the appearance Of q bon Ui-
rant. He had sandy mustache, blonde impe
rial and corporation which an alderman might
have been envious of.
"What do you think Of the HERALD this morn
ing9" querled the reporter
CAR CONDUCTOR No. 35-Tnink Every person
who's come on here to-day has asked me the
same question. They seem to think I'm general
OF critic, fellow who knows every thing except
the business he's paid for Want my ideas The
thing Is splendid; shows that American journalism
is first class. But (confidentialy) this HERALD en-
terprse Is killing me- Why, sir, would sooner see
q fat negress, with basket OF unwashed clothing
upon her arm, and who was In doubt about her des-
tination, get upon the than would a WELL
dressed man who asks me my opinion about the
German letters in the HERALD Of this morning.
REGENERATION are q German, am sure; won't
you tell me something?
"DoT vATERLAND.n
CONDUCToR-Yes l am q Prussian, and would
like to be in Vienna. But what can do; am poor
and cannot 60 there. Stopl Yes, nam. Right in
the middle OF puddle, and what dirty stockings
the old woman's gotl A magnificent idea; excuse
me, sir; that's only four cents We all know
Auerbach; he's fine writer, and Miss Muhlbach is
our old love. Got in Himmel. Mr. -, the HERALD
Is a wonderful paper. Tell me frankly-another
puddle and fat femac-how many men compose Its
regiment OF correspondence
REpoRTER-only an MANTLE legion. Do you
drink lager
CONDUCTOR with emphasis)-Yes, sir.
REPoRrER-well, I'm not going to ask You to
take any, because think 1t bad, being disciple Of
temperance; but what do you hear around the
saloons
CONDUCTOR (piteeusly) No beer Well, I'm sick
OF hearing. Every one Is talking about the HERALD,
what great paper 1t is, anu what grand fellows
you must be upon 1t. As to the Vienna Exposition,
think 1t will be success in time; but they charge
too high price for admission. 1t Is only those
who are Iicn can enter.
POOR MEN MUST WAIT.
Mind that curve, sir. Yes. Won't you take
seat? I'm very tired, and, though the weather Is
wet, I'm dry as desert.
The reporter accepted the hint, entered the car
and became an unwilling victim to the insects
which ply their voracious avocatons until the
veyance reached It's terminus. Then he left, jubi-
liant with the CONSCIOUSNESS that he had done his
duty, though he had not previously advertised the
fact, as Nelson in the habit Of doing before his
battles or made known to the Jter popaAi the sad
fact that he was that most consumnats and con-
scious of nuisances, the dyspeptc interviewer vi
diurnal newspaper.
Brooklyn's Expression Of Opinion on the
Exposition Enterprise.
Although the American Department OF the Vienna
Exposition for the display OF Industry and art was
"dark, barren ana dingy like an abandoned rail-
way town on the plains" the German American
intellectual department resident OF the New
World was not doomed to such obscurty, thanks
to the enterprise ana genius OF the spirit OF prog
ress which governs the press Of the North Ameri-
can Continent. This conclusion was fully verified
by the expressions OF unboundeI admiration which
greeted the advent OF the HERALD upon every side
In the precincts OF the third city, in point OF popu
lation, in the Union, yesterday. Eight columns
OF the HERALD are printed to-day in the German
languagei What think you of that Tor enterprise

the manner bornn within earshot OF the writer, on
q Court street railroad car, rs he concluded the
task OF counting the space devoted to the Vienna
Exposition, addressing himself to o companion.
''Wel, sir" for my part am not surprised at
anything that that HERALD does In the way Of en-
terprise. Hang expenser appears to be the
motto Of the management; but news that journal

DIsTANCED ITS CONTEMPORARIES.
Say what you may, one cannot claim to be up with
the times-our times-who Deglects to read that
cosmopolitan organ at the breakfast table,"
The acquaintance thus addressed acquesced in
this sentiment, and their fellow passengers, who
lent close attention to the above remarks, smiled
approval OF their utterances.
Among the German-speaking residents OF Brook
lyn the feeling Of proud congratulation was great
indeed. Nothing could exceed their delight upon
recognizing the German text type running through
so many long and valuable columns Of space OF the
HERALD. "vass Is dass I see ~ exclaimed stall
