Rough KaiIroadtng in EARLY Days.

From the Terre II2ute flud) Express.
Ia the early days of the indianapolis and
ST. Louis railway there were some pretty
rough times on the trains. The road ran
through country which was nearly all
dcrness, and some of the roIshest fellows
in the country, travelled through. The con q,
ductors generally had crews of picked brake :
man, ard whenever fight came up they
were Sin at the death" Especially was
it SO with old Bobby, passenges conduc-
tor running west. lie had two fellows,
Pat and Bill, great six-footer., who would
fight at the drop of the hat One Of
them wauld go through the train with the
"old man." and when passenger was
somewhat slow in coming up with the ticket
or the money, I,e would slap him on the
shoulder and remark. ''iierr, the old man s
waiting on you and the man generally
came 80 time. If there was any "back-

brakeman generally came Out frat best.
Then tue ''oll ma would say: Obj
good boys of mine; I'll give 'em a dollar

gave them 500 per month to do mir lighting,
while the company paid them $50 to DO
the braking. 1t was on the same principle,
however. One gave them money for brak-
lng car wheels, aud the other for breaking

occasion Pat got into difficulty at San

to his other brakeman, Bill, he asked where

right lively one it was, the old man beini
severely stabbed. He was not able to

THERE was fearful scene witnessed at
Portage, few evenings since, during the
performance Of Forepaugh's show. Every
body was there, the seats being crowded.
Ex- Mayor Brannan was there with his
little fellows to see the strictly moral Con-
or. gational camels, the Baptist sea lions,
the Uniyersalist polar bears, and the Pros
byterian monkeys which the good Mr..
Forepaugh had to show. Ali was serene,
when lady sitting near MIR. Brannan
dropped her tan through the seats, and
asked Mr.. b. if be would just climb down
and pick up her fan. Now, many men
would have declined. bat there is nothing
mean about Sam, SO no took a last fond
look at the clown and disappeared. Sam
is trihe near sighted, and he ought
never to have been sent after that fan; but
be found it, though in doing SO he lost his
bearings, aud when he handed the fan
up through the seats, he unfortunately
handed it to the wrong woman, total
stranger to him. When she saw that hand
come up through, che thought she was sent
Tor, and sauealed. Sam knew BY the
sound of the squeal that he had got into the
wrong pew, SO he backed GU. and looked
around for some familiar land mark. He
soon got his /" eye sot " on the foot Of the
lady who sent him down, and he stuck his
head through to come up. The lady, IN
the meantime, had become SO interested III
the circus performance that she had forgot
about Sam, and when he stuck his auburn
head up through the seats, she Thought the
Sacred Bull had escaped from his cage,
aud sue began to kick and scream. Sam
at once see what was not visible to aim
before, and that was that he had got to go
out around the other way, but in dong so
he ran his heal against an old mad feet
that were hanging down, aud she gave
was-whoop aud landed almost in tie ring,
and shouting that she was stabbed. The
alarm became general, and mothers clasped
his foot on guy rope, and canvass man
threw tent stick ut him, and thus the
tedious hours were whiled away, until he
got out, and quiet was restored Sam
