Interesting conversations are frequently

One night not many weeks ego Major
uohn II. Montague was riding over 10 Man
chester in a street-car. There were four
or Eve other gentlemen In the car. Major
Montague Is one OF the best takers in
Richmond. and he was in his best humor
that night. Looking out upon the river as
the car moved slowly across the Free
bridge he said;
"Do you know that rode on the first
car that ever ran on railroad IN Viz
ginia2"
How was that7" asked O friend.
"The cars used 10 run from the Mid
lothian coal-mines, or, as they used to call
them, pits" said the Mayor. They ran
on tramway and came down by force Of
gravitation. They were then carried back
by mules"
BEPoRE THE DAYS OF STEAM.
"when did you first ride on these
carsf"
:" In 1927, two years before steam-car was
ever run in the United States, remember
standing near the track when the cars
came down the tramway and my father ex-
planned 10 me the reasons of locomotlon.
Mr.. Wright, the superintendent of the

20 take trip over the road with him the

afterwards broke the road mp, and all signs

MoRsE's FIRST WIFE.
Il am reminded said Mr.. Ben. M.
Cuarles. who was on the same car, or
some old.time things myself. My father
and myself were in Washington about the
time Morse completed his telegraph line 70
baltimore, and my father sent a dispatch
from Washington 70 Baltimore over that
Identical line. The method used for the
Transmission Of messages was very differ
ant from that Of to-day. A cumbersome
machine printed the message on narrow
strips of white paper in the characters
that Morse used to represent the alphabet
OF our language
Mr.. Quarles also said that ne renemDet-
ed when the merchants used to form clubs
OF ten or twelve, and leaving the city by
vay of Broad street in old-fashioDed
stage-coaches, set out for New York Tor
the purpose Of buying goods. There were
no bank facilities in those days, and the
merchants travelled in numbers for pro
lection, carrying their money girded
around them in belts.
