He Wanted Some Scenery"

On train coming East over the Michigan
Central road the other day was a Caifor
nisn bound fot Nv Jersey, and the train
bad scarcely left Chicago bahind when he
stopped the conductor and said:
'On which side of the car can I best
see ,ha mountains 2"
The conductor told him that there were
ne mountains along the route, and the
man indignantly replied:
"What in blazes did you build the road
for What do you suppose I'm travelling
f,; This must be one horse road II j,
dont take in at least one ,noun,ainw
He cooled down after awhile, but in half
an hour lie tackled tho brakeman with
the query:
Does this road pass BY any old ruins
of interest Z"
The brakeman couldn't remember any
ruins except an old log house here and
there, aud the Californian was mad in a
minute.
DO you think shipped on this road
as freight or live stock g. he called out.
II you don't ran past any old ruins, why
don't yoa say so on thu tine.cards, and
not be dscriyIng people" ?"
Wh@n tn conductor next came along
the Californian was looking from tho
window to catch sight Of the bridges, and
he turned and said
"lf we come to any bridges over 500
feet long just give me the word. don't
care about seeing any shorter ones"
The conductor had to admit that the
road was trying to get along with few
short bridges, and the passenger bobbsd
around in his seat and replied
What did you build your old road
for If you haven't any long bridges on
the line, why didn't you hunt for new
one 2"
About thirty miles west Of Detroit the
Cahfarnian caught sight Of q lake afar off,
and going out on the platform, he asked
the brak man:
Don't we run along the shore Of that
lake over there?" -~
mo; we are as near it as we shall co."
"Yau are, eh? Then that settles this
road with me! When l come back I'll
ride in a lumber wagon. You can take
vonr eonfoundsd old railroad and eat it,
bnt you can't fool me again. Looks to
M as If the folks who built it simply
wanted to connect Detroit and Chicago,
and didn't care cen, for scenery. I'll
get off at the next station and walk"

by hundral>; they are OF every sort and
degree. They are in the Departments, at

where that man can be found, seducet|,
or frightened. Their missions are multi
farons, ard their movements mysterious
They are seeking positions; they are lob

claims. They need personal, pnIi,ics j.,
prcuniary assistance, indeed, ali kinds,
except the moral kind. Mos, Of them are

treacherous that public men Of reputation
or means are afraid Of, and always on tue
alert against ,h'm.
The late Salmon T. Chase would never
during his official life at the Capital, see
woman he did not know intimately,
except in the presence Of witnesses
Many congressman. Senators, and other
office holders have also made it a rule to
receive no visits from women alone
Senator Chandler, though not noted for
d~l;cacy, is particularly careful on this
poiut. So is Ben. Butler, despite his
andac,y and reckIesspess. These and
other public men refuse to see women at
their rooms, or houses, OF anywhere else,
without third persons. The experience
of others, It not their own, has made
them wary and apprthensiye. There
are, doubtless, many men not afraid Of
any man. We question if there BE- any
man not afraid of women If there b.,
he has spre'v never been in Washington.
