Getting Eve n With the Conductor

1.-THE last time I went to Boston"
confided q thin, consumptive.looking
traveller on the Eastern road 10 Inc
New Haven Register, 1.-The conductor
grew monotonous. He insisted on
examining my ticket at every station
and grew restless as we passed water
ing troughs. This time" the traveller
continued, as he looked anxiously
toward the car door, 1--WE play a
change of programme and the boxes
are all taken" AS the conductor
entered with q pompous tickets,
please" the stranger quietly present.
ed a single-trip ticket to the next
station. The next time he entered,
the unknown man presented q mile
age ticket, following later with q
sportsman's ticket for Labrador. AS
the conductor was passing him on
the next round, the traveller pressed
an emigrant's ticket for Puget Sound
into his hand, and then tried to get
him to take q f~rst-class to Sing Sing
with sleeper check. didn't l just
punch a Puget Sound ticket for you?'
demanded the astonished conductor.
Must have been another party
quietly replied the traveller. burying
himself in the Harper's. Again,
tickets, please" echoed through The
car, and the stranger confronted the
conductor with q "Florida for the
winter" excursion via. the Richmond
boats. "See here" said the enraged
official, "what does this mean? l
have punched tickets for you to all
parts of the globe. Haven't got a
child's ticket to Patagonia, or a Hong
Kong cattle show excursion, have
YOU? If you give me any more tickets
to punch I'll punch your head"
YES" replied the passenger, with
painful dignity, II usually travel on
this" presenting a directors pass,
but we understand that passengers
on your train get lame in the arms
showing their tickets, and have no
time to take in the scenery, SO l am
instructed to notify you that there is
a good vacancy on the night freight
unless we hear of an improvement"
and the director returned to Puck,
and the frightened conductor passed
two tramps 100 miles, not daring to
call for tickets.

mo, we are not hiring any tall

goes in for style, but they are toe

Of handling cars, and now the fiat
has been issued, 1.-THE tall bra KEENAN,

The altitudineus man of the wheel
Is the victim of peculiar circumstan.
ces. It was in the summer of 1882
that a man named Bradley was load
ing logs or a flat al on q side track
at Kelley's Station, in Wabash Co.,
Indiana. A freight came along with
one car about q foot higher
then freight cars usually are On the
center roof-board of this cal stood a
gay and festive brakeman six feet
three inches high, being nine ipches
higher than the average knight of the
wheel. Across the track were some
telegraph wires, the lowest Of which
hung about a foot lower than such
wires generally do. On this particu-
lar OCCASION the law of general aver
age went into temporary retirement.
The low telegraph wire caught the
tall brakeman under the chin. The
brakeman didn't give way, but the
insulator on the crOss-tree Of the first
telegraph pole did. and so did several
other non-conductors. In q few
seconds there was a large amount of
loose telegraph wire following the
train, and MI. Bradley was then and
there engaged in the laudable labor
of loading logs, and was entangled in
the wiry mesh, which pulled him
under the train, so that he was com.
PEELED to close the circuit of his days.
He didn't leave any widow; but he
left seven small children, mostly
twins, and now the Wabash legal
department is studying to e how
far proof of a wide variation of aver
ages will help them to defend a $lO,-

The Bo's'n's Whistle.
1Cincinnati EnQuirer.l

Oh, about the pipe? Yes, its the
bO's'n,s whistle, and all the routine
orders are given by its means. What
is needed is known by the various
sounds. When he begins to pipe,
every man, no matter what he is
doing, whether he is working or
talking must STOP and listen. Sailors
never whistle. It's forbidden. The
men might think on the first note it
was the bo's'n's pipe. When I first
went into the navy l was standing
looking over the side whistling q
little tune. The officer of the deck
came up and touched me on the
shoulder and said: "YOungster,
there's a man paid on this vessel to
whistle"

Special TO the Gazette.
San Antonio, April IA General
Trevino of the Mexican army, who
passed through this city last Saturday
night on his return from Europe, and
who is prominent candidate against
General Diaz for the presidency of
Mexico, it is said will pay off the sol
diers in Northern Mexico from his own
private funds. These soldiers have
not been paid for three months, and
are in a beggarly condition and suffer
ing for want of both food and clothing.
Trevino is worth several millions, and
should he obtain the good will of these
troops in the way spoken Of, they
would not forget him in his
presidential aspirations. 1t is con-
sidered political venture. III Trevino
can win over the military by personal
sacrifices, he will have better chance
to reach the goal.

The Use of Abuse.

Three of the best men in Texas have
been prominently mentioned as sue,
cessors to Governor Ireland. The first
was Peter Smith, thorough-going
business man; but no sooner was his
name mentioned than he was attacked
by several papers friendly to Governor
Ireland. Then came Sui Ross, whose
bright military record and public ser
vices command the respect Of all; yet
he received abuse from some sources.
Now comes Marion Martin to the sur
face-a man who has served his state
with credit and whose personal char
acter is above reproach but the same
over.zealous friends of Ireland are say
ing the hardest things possible against
him. Such attacks are all wrong and
cannot meet the approval of such a
man as John Ireland. Those who
make such assaults are doing him
more harm than good. The Blade
favors the reelection Of Governor Ire
land rs strongly rs any paper in TIL,
state, but does not consider it eithel
Just or polite to abuse every prOmi
nent man who does not see fit to in
dorse his administration or who ma,
have aspirations for the position h
now occupies.
