Phases of Gotham Courtesy.

Giving up seats to women has almost
entirely gone out of fashion in the elevated
cars. Whether or not the reason is the
cushioned comfort which must be relin-
pushed in order to obey the old custom,
or that there is a general decline in pratical
tenderness toward the gentle sex, the cor
respondent does not explain. No matter
how young or handsome q woman may be,
he asserts, or how well dressed, she is usual
ly left standing in q crowded car. Wall
street brokers, professional men on their
way home from down town, merchants
with excellent manners-all these now sit
complacently while women stand at their
very knees. Old women are an exception
to this new rule of city ~railroading, and
there is one other, according to this observ-
err. During the hours of the late afternoon,
when the cars are full of mechanics and
working women mixed in with shoppers
in finery. the men in the garb Of labor will
r%elinquish their seats readily to those whose
dress similarly betokens toll. but never to
those who are arrayed for leisure.

On the Courthouse blackboard was to be
seen yesterday a drawing intended to
represent Raines' and Ennor's ranches
with q house on each. the track Of the E.
d P. Railroad and q hog. There could
be no mistake about this figure in the
sketch, as underneath it was plainly writ
ten-"The festive hog" 'The old white
SOW" was intended. II is pleasant TO note
that the legal gentleman who executed the
work is not exclusively tied to his books of
law lore but, devotes some portion of his
leisure TO the cultivation OF an art for
which he possesses q large imagination.
His ideas OF proportion are de-
lightfully original and fanciful. The
railroad track appears nearly as
wide as either Of the ranches. and the
hogs head is so engrossed that both fore
wheels Of q narrow-gauge engine might
strike it at once. It's tail stands higher in
the air than any house-chimney in the
drawing, while the whole hog is bigger
than either Raines' or Ennor's entire
ranch. The Importance Of the ''old white
SOW" in the suit doubtless suggested this
exaggeration for logical reasons. 1t was q
stroke of real genius in the Hon. George
W. Baker to make her the conspicuous
figure.
