ABSENT MINDEDNEss.

The Boston Traveller says that Sunday
:, one of the churches of that city q
steady church-going man became alb
sorbed in some train of thought, not ex-
ac,ly suggested by the sermon, it is pre-
snmed, took a cigar from his pocket, put
n in his mouth, folded his arms, leaned
comtemplatively back In his seat, and was
onIv aroused from his reverie by the
courtesy of friend, who happened to sit
near.
Another story is told by the Hartford
Courant. 1t says that a gentleman of
that city, who was riding in smoking
car on a train from New York to New
Haven, noticed that man sitting direct
ly in front of him gave the conductor
81 bill to pay for his fare. Some change
was to be given back, but the conductor
handed the passenger roll of bills, and
passed on. The man who received the
money appeared no less astonished than
the Hartford gentleman, and was about
10 follow up the conductor and return
the bills, when the Hartford man sug-
cested to him to hold on while, and see
what the tcket-puncher would do. When
the train stopped at Bridgeport the pas
senger said he would step into the re-
freshment room moment and would
return, but did not make his appearance
again, having perhaps forgotten, in a fit
Of absent-mindedness, that he had the
money. This, of course, made the Hart
ford man feel little queer, as he had
stopped the fellow from paying back the
money, though with the best intentions
in the world. Very soon after the con-
ductor and the brakeman came through
the car together, and made very care
full search for something, and it is proba-
Bile that the conductor still thinks he
dropped the roll Of bills in that or some
other car, or that some rascal stole it..
Instances Of absence of mind rarely take
this form among railroad conductors.

A BAND of six masked robbers,
on the 22d inst, threw the engiue
and baggage cars Of a passenger
train from tho track OF a Railroad
running from Des Moines to
Council Bluffs, Iowa, when the
train was about IS miles west oil
the first named city. Tho acct
dent was caused by tho removal
of a rail, but fortunately the cngi
neer discovered the break in time
to partially check the speed Of the
train, SO that none Of the passen.
ger coaches wero thrown off. The
engineer was killed by the con.
custom when the engine left the
track. Tho despcradoes were well
armed with revolvors,. and fired
several shots Mt the conductor and
others, but did not wound any
one. They proceeded to rob The
express car, taking, it is thought,
about $4,000. The entire trans
action only occupied about ten
minutes, the robbers effecting al
escape. Tho Governor OF Iowa
offers a reward OF $500 for the
arrest Of each person implicated
in the robbery.
