An Excited Conductor.

An Excited Conductor.
We had always thought that Capt.
ISaacs, conductor on the c. & G. rail
road was so we'll balanced that nothing
short of first class earthquake could
shake him out Of his elegant poise.
We remember once seeing him emerge
from smash up, cool, calm, collected.
He crawled out of the debris with his
accustomed dignity and viewed the
'swreck Of matter" as if lie were used
to it, much to our admiration. We
never saw him the central figure at a
dog fight, one OF the most exciting
scenes we imagine on top the green
earth, and consequently cannot tell
how he would behave under such try
inc circumstances, but our confidence
in him was such that we thought him
equal eyen,to that. Friday afternoon,
however, showed him to be but hui
man. When his train stopped at New
berry. about three hundred negroes
boarded it, on their way to Prosperi-
ty, and pandemonium seemed loose :;
the Captain saw that his time had
come. He did not retire to his private
sanctum to weep, because he had no
sanctum to retire to, but ne went for
the darkies, or rather their tickets and
their money. 1t was scene which
battles description his voice was husky
from crying tickets, money, money,
tickets. The, negroes were circus
struck, they had seen the elephants,
the entire ten, even the one the darkey
knocked down in Charlotte; they were
slow to respond; the distance to Pros
perity was hut seven miles; the train
was slowed; the Captains voice was
thick, and the beads gathered on his
brow, and dropped to the floor, he
could not wipe them off, so they had
to drop; it looked as if he would never
get through. But he did; as the train
rolled into Prosperity the last ticket
was received, and the Captain fetched
sigh which reyerberated through the
crowded car and ratified the window
panes; the agony was over.

SCOTT LEIGHTON.
a Good Story About Gamecock.

Our readers will all remember Scott Leigh
ton, the artist, formerly OF this city, now Of
Boston. The Post says: 1--WE all remember
the story OF the Athenian artist, who painted
cherries so naturally that even the birds were
deceived and came 10 peck at them. An incl
dent which came recently under my notice, IL
Illustrates i'll q somewhat similar manner the
power OF pictorial art to deceive, and, going
further, would seem to show a good deal OF
reasoning intelligence in at least one member
OF the ieathered tribe. Mr. Scott Leighton,
the artist. tells the story concerning pet
gameeock which be kept in his studio. Hav-
ing, at one time, to paint the portrait OF a
large-sized game bird for a patron, the ret
bird suffered good deal from the domineer-
ing spirit Of his larger companion, and got SO
that he could never see him without flying
into rage. After the picture was completed
and the bird which was its subject had
been removed, the canvas remained in the
studio, standing on the floor. Oae day the
little gamecock happened 10 be picking his
way about the studio, when he suddenly
caught sight of the counterfeit prssentment of
his former enemy. With a scream of rage he
Sofc OHo iC2pt alAu plStufes pant
ed his spurs into it again and again before he
could be restrained. The next time that he
was given an opportunity he repeated the at
tack, and for some time it was the almost daily
amusement of the artist and his friends TO
witness these impromptu cock fights between
live bird and dummy. At last one day the
little fellow, resting moment from an unus-
ually spirited attack, happened, in cooking his
head on one side, to get look behind the pic
ture. He was for an instant dumbfounded.
Then he looked in front and saw his old en-
envy, as large as life; another glance behind
and he was more than ever puzzled. He then
deliberately walked behind and around the
picture several times, carefully surveying it.,
and finally with spitefnl flirt, and with an
air Of disgust that would have done credit 10 a
human being, marched away and MD himself.
Never after that day could he be persuaded TO
attack the picture or, indeed, to pay the slight
est attention to it., notwithstanding the most
strenuous efforts that we're made to incfe him.
He had penetrated the sham, and would have
no more of it."
