l should experience IN an elni sra0t train
across the plains. To make the matter
wore was informed by railroad of
ficia! that | mi ht Oe twenty days "n the
road instead of six or seven, as | had
previously been in the express train.
How, Yer, "what cant be cured must be
endured" 10 made up my MUD to meet
my fate, aad started On my journey from
Sacrament.
The passengers from San Francisco no.
having arrived by the steamer at the hour
they were due, the train which was to
have left ut 7 A. NJ. was detained, but was
attached to the express tram, which lott
at 3P. NJ instead. So whisking off at the
rate Of twenty miles AN hour, we were
agreeably surprised to find ourselves
some four hundred miles ON our journey
In the next twenty four hours.
Instead of poor, sickly women and cry.
ing babies, as l had anticipated, we had
very respectable company of passen-
gers, who mad selected that mode of con-
veyance mainly because it was supposed
to Le more agreeable than the travelling
of the express trains, and us afford
ing better opportunity of seeing the
country, besides being less restrained
there In the other cars. Among our com.
pany was Colonel Of the United States
Army; fine, genial gentleman, a scholar
and great traveller. His experiences in
the world afforded very interesting and
Instructive lessons of men and manners
In regions not often visited by even re-
nowned travellers. Then we had half a
dozen jolly tars, just paid off from U.
3. inau-of-war, some of whom displayed
qualities Of mind and heart that will ever
be remembered by me with pleasure.
There were, too, a husband and wife, the
former an Italian and the latter German
more gentle man or kinder husband |
never met, and more tyranuical and
violent woman ] never saw. Notwith-
standing her cOarseness, vulgarity for
she would swear like trOoper), he wait
ed upon her like aChi nese servant. and
Obeyed her every command, till some.
times was ashamed of his apparent want
of manliness.
One of the first of our operations was
to establish an 'Anti.swearlng club" and
elected one Of the Jack tars, who had
given vent to few explosives of very
pronounced character, as President, and
the principle Of womsn's rights being
acknowledged by all, the German WON.
an was elected Vice. She filled the posi-
ton exactly. Our President never swore
afterwards, but our Vice was incorrigible,
and was called to order so often that a,
length she Nushed, and apologized, and
said "sbe couldn't help it," and after tina,
seemed to try to check herself, but il
was of no avail, the Gaths could tumb
out of her mouth in spite Of ever, thing
and ever ;body. She was a character
that could have been studied to advsi-
tage. She was very Kind to poor little
children who came 10 sell milk or cake.
or apples, aud gave them freely whatever
she had, and occasionally had loving fits
upon her, when sh. would fundle and ks.

baby, instead Of finely developed
man: whatever che did che did In
