a WASTE OF EGGS.

Melancholy Adventure which Befcu m
Couple Of selfish Passengers.
Railway pigs do not always secure happi-
ness for themselves by making their fellow
passengers comfortable, writes q Boston
correspondent. A friend OF your corre-
spondent chanced TO witness q melancholy
adventure which befell two OF the breed on
asuburban train the other day. Pig No.
was unjustihably occupying two seats
while other people were compelled to stand
for want OF sitting room. To keep the sec
ond place at his side he had deposited there
on good-sizcd paper bag full OF something.
The train drew up at station on its way
INTO town and pig No. 2 entered the car with
slam. Pig No. was a selfish pig, whereas
pig No. was an aggressive pig. Both
varieties are only too familiar. Now cnsued
atragedy in one act Pig No. made his
way along the aisle until he came TO the
bench occupied by pig No for the accom-
modation OF himself and his paper bag.
Then he paused and glared. Doubtless IL he
had asked pig No. TO remove the offending
parcel and make room for him, rig No.
would have acquiesced and all would have
been peaceful and lovely. Pig No. 9, howev.
er, did not choose to make any such polite
request He simply spread his coat-tails and
sat down upon the paper bag with the pom
derous emphasis Of about $50 pounds av-
oirdupois. Squashi Pigs Nos. and Q
leaped 70 their feet simultaneously. On the
countenance of the former was an ex-
preston OF pardonable anger, on that OF the
latter were written emotions OF horror and
alarm. At the same time the passengers
near by observed that pig No. was liter
ally covered as TO bis rear with fluid of
chrome yellow tint, which tricklcd down
the legs Of bis trousers to the floor. The
seat he had so suddenly vacated was pud-
die of the same.
''5irl" exclaimed pig No. /, wrathfully,
show dare you smash my eggsiH
"Jackassl' replied pig No. 2, with equal
heat, ''what do you mean by setting trap
with your Internal hen fruit for decent
people 10 sit down uponI''
1.-Two dozen and half, fresh laid,n said
pig No. l. 'rll thank you to pay me for
them.n
"a brand new. pair OF fourteen dollar
pantaloons," reioined pig No. Q. "Replace
them or fight"
1t was the brakeman who intorfered and
put an untimely stop to what promised 10
be an unusually interesting scrimmage.
And at the last view the writer's friend
had of the combatants, as the train came to
full stopin the Boston depot, PIC No. | was
leaving tho car breathing awful threats OF
action for assault while pig No. 2 was be-
ing wiped OF with newspapers by tho brake
man aforesaid. Most OF the passengers,
strange 10 say, appeared 10 be grieved that
the two had not been permitted to wipe
each other out unmolested. There are
plenty Of railway pigs TO spare In these
