A SLOW TRAIN.

We are frequently indebted to our friend Colonel
Yard of the Monmouth Democrat for anecdotes
illustrative of the character of the peculiar people
who live in New Jersey. He sends us this:
The Hon. G.. T tells a good story of slow
railroad in the northern part of the State. He
saws he went there cunning, and came to a short
line of road on which was run a single car, the
forward end of which was parttioned of for bag
gape. He took his dog in the car with him and
mt him under the seat. Presently the conductor
came along, and insisted that the dog snoniq go
into the baggage-roOm, which, after some alterca-
ton, was done; but here the baggage master de-
manded fee of fifty cents. Which was denounc-
ed as "swindle," "put-up job" between the
conductor and the baggage-master, and that soon
er than pay it he would tie the dog to the tram
and let him "work his passage" The conductor
assented, and the dog was hitched to the rear OF
the train. The dog, so r says, Kept along
easily with the train, but the conductor began 10
get uneasy, making frequent trips to the engineer,
urging him to increase the speed OF the train and
back again to watch the effect upon the dog. The
latter began to show signs of fatigue, but after
while caught his ''second wind,' and was keeping
along as before. The conductor now ordered the
engineer to heave all the coal into the furnace and
stir up the fire, which being done, the speed was
perceptibly increased. The conductor again went
to the rear of the car to observe the effect but the
dog had disappeared, whereupon he trlumphantly
called rs attention to the fact. The latter,
after taking glance at the situation, quietly
pointed to a crack in the floor Of the car, "and
there" says he "was the dog, comfortable trottlng
along under the car, and licking the grease from

ATTEMPTED STAGE ROBBERY.

At o'clock on Monday morning, the
southern stage connecting with the Ole which
LETT here on Sunday last, and IS driven by
Bob Whitaker, was attacked by robbers on
the Aurora grade, about four miles This side
of Aurora. The robbers jumped from Al
enbankment, within a step two from the
side of the coach, and commanded the driver
to stop. Their loud voices of command
at frantic speed. The driver, in place OF
checking them, as some would have done,
laid on the whip with will, in spite of
the robbers threats to shoot, which, however,
they did not carry out, and before the driver
and passengers were cognizant of the fact,
they were safely landed ia Aurora. The
accompanied by Indians at once started in
pursuit of the road agents One of the In
dams strayed of from the rest of the party,
and soon thereafter was found shot through
the body. The superstition is, that he found
the robbers, ana fearing detection through
him, they murdered the poor devil. The peo-
pie in that section are wrought up to a high
pitch OF excitement They feel confident
that they will bag Their game, whether there
are few or many Of them, and when bagged,

CHINESE EXoDUs-About thirty Cinnamon
left on the train last night, bound for the
Sandwich Islands, where they Will work on
sugar plantations. They were all coolies, and
the debasing bondage in which they are kept
was clearly descernable in every movement of
theirs. One ChinGman, upon being asked
where he was going and what he was
going to do when he got there,
replied in pretty fair English for a
coolie, that he and the others were going to
some islands to work but he could not tell
for whom, the name of the place or what pay
they would receive. This proves that these
fellows are handled just like many oxen or
sheep by their masters, and have no more
power to act in accordance with own desires
than the former slaves of the South

eddy be received with open arms when he

Is HB INSANE "A fourteen year convict
at the State Prison, named Bob Hamilton,
who was convicted at Phoebe about two years
ago for completely in the stage robbery in which
Jack Black was killed, is either insane or has
been feigning it, for the past three weeks. About
two weeks ago, while the prisoners were be-
ing called in for the night, he hit another
stage robbing convict called Cockrill, violent
blow in the face without the slightest provo
cation, for which he was placed in solitary
confinement. A few days ago Captain Gou-
nond went into Hamlltons cell to bring him
out. No sooner did he enter than the fellow
jumped on him, and they had a regular rough
and tumble fight. Were it not that Captain
Gounond is very powerful man, the prisoner
would have done him serious injury. Yes

a tall man has recently been in the habit of
dressing himself in female apparel in the night
time, to brighten ladies who may be out at
late hour This idiot has selected the western
part of the town as the field of his insane
operations Such conduct on the part of a
being calling himself man is, to use milder
-erm than ought to be employed to express
5he contempt in which such an ass should be |
1eld inexcusabe. If any more is heard of
his fellows nocturnal caperings, We shall |
make it our business to ascertain the name |
which he disgraces and publish it, After that |
t would be well for him to look out that his |
,owardly hide does receive good tanning at |
he hands of husbands or brothers of the |
aides whom he has frightened by his idiocy. |
