An Eccentric Passenger.

ICbicago Correspondence Troy Times,l
A few evenings since, one of the large
open horse cays on the Cottage Grove Ave-
nue. Line started out from Randolph street
on its way southwark, an elderly gentleman
of apparently about sixty>hye years ot age
secured sitting on the front seat. Ronnd-
ing the corner of MAdison street aud Wabash
avenue the conductor went to the forward
end of the car as usual To collect fares. Tho
elderly gentleman was the first passenger ho
encountered. and what was his surprise upon
being quietly asked how many passengers
there were on the car and what the entiro
number of fares amounted TO. Tho cOnduo-
tor hastily counted them and answered,
-" Fifty-seSen passengers, and the fares
amount to 81 S5.' In an instant the old
gentleman counted out the proper amount
and quietly remarked. "If anyone else gets
on please come to me- for his fare" All this
was done so quietly and so quickly shat on!y
tht s, directly near were aware Of anything
unusual until the conductor began to ring
the fifty. seven numbers on his register bell,
when, of course, the curiosity of all was ex>
cited. The astOnishment was increased when
the conductor in passing along to the rear OF
the car announced to all who offered their
fare, +" Your fare is paid-a gentleman III
front paid it," As the car rolled along sOuth>
ward on Wabash avenue, and one after
another got on or off the conductor would go
to the old gentleman, and without the least
hesitation he would hand out the right
amount and thank the conductor for coming.
This was kept up for a distance of nearly
four miles, or to the intersection of Cotager
Grove avenue and Douglas avenue. where
the strange and liberal passenger nlyhted
and was lost to view in the vicinity OF the
Douglas monument. During all the ride
there was not n passenger who knew the
eccentric benefactOr. and the conductor never
remembered having seen his face before =
He was evidently an entire stranger In every
one. When interviewed und asked the rcAsou
of his desire to save the nickels ot his f"l'"w'
passengers, no simply smiled kindly smild
and answered nothing. Altogether, during
the entire trip, he paid seventy ono fares, or
S3 So 1t was amusing to note the nstnnish-
meut of many of tho passengers as they got
aboard the car and offered their fare :" tho
conductOr, when he informed them, " Your
fare is paid" 1t was fun for those who rode
the entire trip and had been posted it was
fun for the conductor, and it was evidently
enjoyable to the old gentleman, who took
such a singular method of calling down, the
email thanks Of a number of people.

A Ghcstly Bit of Tactics.

1t was grim aud ghostly bit of deccp~
tion, surely but when we remember that
the poor mother bad been turned from house
after house because cxacting landlords would
not admit children TO their teuCments, we
may certainly fad excuse for her. The day
was wearing away, and her poor strength
was wearing and failing with it. At length,
she saw the sign TO Let," exposed in the
window of a comfortable looking tenement
near to the little, old stone church, and while
she stood and considered, an idea entered
her head. She bade her children go irto
the church yard every one. and look at tho
headstones and monuments until she called
them and when she had them-six of them
all beyond the stile, she turned her steps
towards the advertised tenement. An alarm
upon the iron knocker brought sharp faced,
beetle. browed man to the door. to whom sio
made known her business. She would liko
to hire the tenement that was under the roof

The bargain was made, and put ib black
