April 1866, there was nothing but a
turnout where Lyons factory now
stands, and | ran a big engine from
Petersburg, Va, over to Durham,
and ran it off Of the track near the
old factory on purpose, for the
Yankees were pushing us, and the
great wheels Of tie engine buried in
the ground up to the 'ash-pan'; and
curiously enough the few people
that were scattered about were UNI
able to comprehend just at that
moment the Importance Of running
the big engine off of the track; It
remained there forsome time. Besid. Q

Among optional courtesies may be
enumerated that which governs the con-
duct of persons in crowded public con-
veyances. South Of Mason and DiXon's
line no man would brave public opinion
by remaining seated when woman
maintained standing position, even
were she the humblest of her sex. 4
foreigner would argue in such "a case
that he had paid for his seat. and that
there could be no more reason for his
rising in a street car than if he were oc-
cupving a seat at the opera or at hotel
table.
In New York, which is too cosmopoli-
tan a city TO be cited as an example,
street car etiquette is decidedly
and whether or not it is necessary to va
cate a seat in a lady's favor is a much
mooted question. One thing is certain,
and that is, that youth and beauty ap-
peal TO both high and low, even the
most boorish individual being willing to
relinquish his rights in favor OF a wom-
an with pair Of bright eyes and Styl-
ish figure.
The poor wage worker, in her faded
cotton gown and with fingers showing
evidences Of toll, IL rarely the recipient
of such courtesy. The man in broad
cloth, who has been seated in his lux
urious Office most of the day, keeps his
seat without a qualm Of conscience, and
holds his paper before his face to OBJ
struct the view of the appealing eyes and
worn figure.
Women in public vehicles often ex-
hibit a remarkable selfshness and a total
disregard for the comfort of others.
Many of them accept a seat to which
they have no legal right with a saucy
toss Of the head and without recognizing
the courtesy by as much as a bow or a
thank You" An audible expression of
thanks is the least lady should offer IN
exchange for the sacrifice Of place,
and this should be rendered as freely To
the threadbare clerk as to the dude in
tine raimeln.-Jenuess-Miiler Magazine.
