A Scared Conductor,

a
Sweet are the uses of retributive JUS
tice. In passing through a train on the
New York Central Railroad to collect
tickets, the conductor encountered, east
of Utica, q colored man who had neither
ticket nor medium of exchange, and,
after desultory discussion, stopped the
cars and kicked him off the platform.
A few weeks afterward, the conductor
took a chair in barber-shop in Albany,
under the ministration of colored man.
The barber covered his customers face
with lather, whipped out glittering
razor, and, while he was improving its
edge by means of a strop that dangled
from the wall, remarked to the gentleman
in the chair: "Say, boss, you doesn't
know me, does you? Does you remem-
ber de fellah you lambed from your
train up at Tribes Hill? Dat was bad
thing for you to do, sab, an remembers
it we'll" Right here the conductor
bounded from his chair and danced
around the room with the latherdripping
from his chin and his hair standing on
end. He was finally induced to resume
his seat, on the barber's pledging him
self to do no mischief, but he did not en-
Joy the shave, and breathed more freely
when he was outside of the shop.
