What A Traeelcr Says.

Within the last twenty years, the English
language has spread to an astonishing extent
in the East This change is occasioned by
the number of English and American
travellers who visit the East, and the use Of
the language by the travellers Of ether
nationalities. French, which, until within
the last few years, was Indispensable, has
boan slowly fading into the background,
and is already less available than English for

A Bank-tciler's Balance.

1t is related that while Robert Pringlc,
the great banker Of Glasgow. was a paying
teller in Il bank in that city, IL person entered.
demanding payment ofa sum Of six pounds.
There We're several persons waiting, who
were. in turn, entitled to be served before
him; but he was extremely impatient, and
rather noisy. and being besides remarkable
StammCrcr, he became 50 annoying that
several gentlemen requested the teller to
pay him his money at once and get rid Of
him. Pringlc did 50, bat with an expression
ofimpaticnce at being obliged To attend to him
before his turn and he thought no more
of the transaction. At the end Of the year,
which was eight or nine months after, the
books Of the bank could not be made to
balance, the deficiency being exactly six
pounds. Several days and nights were
spent in endeayoring to discover the error,
but without success; when at last Pringlc
returned home much tltigued, and went to
bed. lie dreamed Of being at his place in
the bank, and the whole transaction with
the Stammcrer, as just detailed, passed be-
fore him, in all its particulars lie awoke
under fail impression that the dream was
to lead him to the discovery of what he was
so anxiouSly in search of, and on inycstiga-
ton he soon discovered that the sum paid
to this person, in the manner mentioned,
had been neglected to be inserted in the
book of interests, and that it exactly at
counted for the error in the balance.

Railroading in Early Days.

A writer in the Hartford Couram gives
"reminiscences of Rairoading in Connecticut
forty-thrce years ago. When the Hartford
and New Haven road first opened it had
very mea GRE facilities, the road bed was poor,
had only scrap rails. which were all the
while curling up and running through the
car floors, and the cars We're small and the
locomotives weak. In fact, it didn't take
much to block train in those days. Some
times an inch of snow on the rails would do
it. Henry c. White. one of the first con-
ductos ON the road, tells how he and the
baggage master used to sit in front OF the
locomotive, one on each side, and brush off
the snow from the rails with q broom as the
train slowly crawled along. Each had a
pail OF sand and sprinklcd handful on the
rail when necessary. The driving wheels
(engincs had only one pair then) used to
slip around and round, and torment them
almost to death. On one occasion train
got stuck > on the Yalesyille grade by one
inch of snow, and the wood and water gave
out before the locomotive could overcome it.
At last they got out the neighbors, yoked
four pairs of oxen to the train and drew it,
passengers, baggage, and all into Meriden
with flying colors.
In the early days of the road the stage
coach drivers used to regard the cars with
great contempt Indeed, thirty years ago
the passenger trains were three or four hours
on the road to New Haven, and the stage
coaches went in about the same. Superin-
tcndent Davidson remembers riding with
his father in carriage drawn by two
horses, in 1910 which had n race with u pas
senger train near Wallinglord, where the
turnpike and railroad are parallel for three
or four miles, and during all that time the
carriage kept even with the train. There
We're only three trains each way daily then,
both carrying passengers and freight. The
old cars were divided into three compart-
ments opened on the side, and had twenty-
four seats The locomotives had only twelve
inch cylinders, and no Gals to protect the
engineer and ircmcn from the weather.
The oldest locomotives were the Hartford
Quinnipac, Charter Oak and New Haven.
