Conductor and Postillion

CONDUCTOR AND POSTILLION.

ON the left, (with his faithful co-partner, *Moustache*) is *Bugle*, the Conductor,—who acts as Guard, and superintends the passengers and luggage, and all things relating to the Diligence, &c.—exhibits the passports of the party in the fortified towns;—is, usually, seated on the roof;— or (being an officer of some importance) at the head of the table, during certain periodical attacks on potages, fricassees, stews, gigots, pigeons, *Bifsteks*, wine, coffee, an apology for tea,—eggs, fruit, &c., ad infinitum; and concludes the Journey by receiving from each “*voyageur*” eight francs, to be divided among the postillions and himself.

On the right, is,—not a *Journeyman Butcher*! but *Véritable*,—the postillion,—who in fact,—through the agency of a slender thong, tied to the end of a crooked stick, and by means of hooting, shouting, and grunting *Ee yew a!* is the cause of the *pell-mell* advance of the whole “*Entreprize et Compagnie*.”—
