THE CONDUCTOR'S STORY BY REBECCA HA ft PI SO DAVIS. Good arable? Yes, sir; and if you can look at it in the way of scenery it's as pretty a piece of land as you'll find in Kent County. That stretch now ahead. By the way, there was a queer thing happened on the track just there, three years ago come ThankR giving as queer as ever came in my way since I ve been railroading. It occurred in this way : I'll have time to tell it I reckon. We have to switch off for the express at the next station, and lay by awhile. " " This branch road, you see, was built for the local peach business. I was put on as conductor of the firt train that was run. By George 1 how the engine woke the country up! The Dclawareaus re geuuine Southerners lazy and hospitable. They were hos pitable to the very train, in a way commercial people couldn't under stand ! It wasu't a matter of business ; it was a home nflkir to them, lilcc their church or their darkeys; something to chuckle and gossip over, and bouts t about. The stations used to be crowd el with young fellows iu flushy neck tits, aud their sweethearts, nice, mod' est little girls, loaded with cheap fine ry, who had made up purlies aud come down from the interior to see the train go by. Every did farmer on the route thought he owued the engine (the Gen eral Jackson It was), and knew each separate car as well as he did his own bulls and sheep. ; They'd treat their wives to a few links ride as you town people would rnn over to Europe with yours. Of course, sir, I was" at home here on the road in two weeks. Everybody called me Dick.' There were scores of places where. I could drop iu for an odd meal. ' 1 began to doubt whether they were my uncles and cousins or uot. Besides, a man here, after fifty, has no other business but loafing. All the old fellows got free parses over the road, and forsook their corners by the tavern fire fur the baggage car. There they smoked day after day, and told queer stories of their neighbors' families for the benefit of anybody who chose to listen. I knew all the gosaip by heart directly. It was just when the peach es were in bloom, too, when I went on the road, and I soou was punching open buils with my thumb-nail, and talking learnedly of Early Blush und Morris White with the rest.' Its a cu rious sight to sec that piuk flush above the early spring mud, from tine end of the stale to the other, and to think that the crop is the Cui matter of life and death to the people. The peaches had come and gone, though, when uue day, about a month before Thanksgiving, an old fellow came on board ith his family, who hud a pass for two down to St. Gcooge's. saw at a glance he was one of my us ual deadhead squad. A thiu, wiry old man, white-headed, but as active as a boy of sixteen, and with the true Del awurean kuack of finding friends aud showing himself friendly. He was a reporter oil some Philadelphia penny paper, aud had his ttote-book out ev ery mttiuto, pumping rue aboyt the Wilmington whipping post, Sluau s fish-breeding experiment, aud the cun dition of tl:e freed negroes.

'Newspaper work," ho said, "pay handsomely, compared to my owu pro fession. We get on quite comfortably on my salary ; quite comfortably." I noticed, however, that both he and his womeu folks were thinly andshab bily dressed. I did not pay much at tention to the wonivii, but there was a boy, Dan, the old mau's grandson a little chap of four that I took an odd fancy to from the first. He had a homely face, but I think on of the most honest aud loveable I ever saw Tanner that was the old roan's name told mo that he had brought his wife and daughter down to keep Thanksgiving ia this village, where salary.

But D was one of those women who seem have uo life out-ide of the one or twj people they love. Well 1 Thanksgiving eve came, and Tanner was aboard going home, but I had n time to talk to hira, as the train was crowned with people who had been up in Wilmington laying iu supplies of the holidav. Even the passenger-cars were heaped with bas kets atd bundles. Tanner had lils lit tle package, too something for Dan. I saw him peeping into it with his eyes twinkling ouce or twice. I remember how pleased he was when I brought him a monster turkey for MrsTanner. rhe old lady, although she had only seen me on the train as it whisked by. had taken an anxious iuterest icasore throat I had, and sent me a bottle of myrrh tea by the old gentleman. I don't know whetheritwasbecau.se I had come from a part of thecouutry where they never keepThanksgiving.or because of the horror that followed.but I remember that afternoon as one of the brightest and cheerful lest of my life. The air was cold and crisp. There was a red mist over the hills; in the cars and stations there was nothing nut good humor aud friendly pood wishes. I dou't think much of serious things, yet it seemed to me that day the people came with one accord near er to God because of Thanksgiving. Cue old gentleman on board had the sumo ider I .uprose: for. as I sat down behind hinTnrVb . ,.llin,, I saw hi tn watching the passengers ami j houses we passed wltmrii amused smile aud, turning to his companion, hp .aid "There's something very wlioleaome in the effect of these holidays, Colonel. They awaken men to a sense of depend ence and gratitude.as a year's sermons can not do." Tlio other was so long in replying that I locked up at him. "When a mau has a home or home j ties to give thanks for, the holiday is useful, no doubt. It was so quoer and cold an answer that I felt a curiosity about the man. He went back to his newspaper (which was an English one, I noticed), alul began to talk immediately about the duties on silks and linens. I soon found that he was largely interested I in both ; had traveled over a good his hat, asked leave to ride on the en gine, in order to see the scenery. Now the rules of the road were slip shod enough, but that was n thing that I never allowed. However I had ta ken a curious interest in the man, and I liked his courteous manner so I nod ded and went before him through the batrgage car, and over the tender to see him safely acros. To my surprise, Joe Fenton, our engineer, met him as an oid acquaintance. Joe had been a llan a week, I private in his regiment during the war, They shook hands again and again, and Fenton was in such a hurry to tell that he was married and the fath er of twins, that he stammered. The Colonel laughed pleased. He was a different man from the one I had seen on the car. I waited a moment to point out Brock's model farm to him, when Joe said : "You used to come down to these parts for fishing aften, I remember, Colonel I" ' . "Yes." "Where is your good lady now, sir ; and the child? He was as peart a youngster as I ever k unwed." 'I he gentleman replied but by ges ure with his hand. What, both T" ganpe l Joe.

He had the air of a man ac customed to command, and to a life of ease. He was a middle-aired, stnutly- built mau, with a clean shaved, power ful face, aud shrewd, pleasant eyes. I noticed through all his conversation he tried to avoid seeing the happy groups of people who were incessantly getting on or otr the train ; and mice, when a child in passing pulled at his cano, he turned his back roughly on it. Yet I had a fancy I don't know why that the people and Thanksgiving mattered more to tiim than any of us. His friend said to him presently, "You are not well, Colonel ?" 'Never was better. But the truth is, Venn, this country is all familiar to me, and anything which recalls aid limes makes me nervons aud irritable. It's a weak ness which I will outgrow probably.

Yet he said a cool as could be, "It would be deuth, 1 rockou ; but if a man could swing himsell dowu from the cow-catcher " I pushed forward, but the Colonel licIJ me back. "I've nothing to lose," he said, and as swift as a cat he passed round the ledge, aud threw himself headlong ou the track iu frout. I shut my eyes. The engine and the whole train thundered on, slackened at lust, aud slopped. I remember how slowly I climbed down and looked over lo a field. I did uot know what I would tread into ou ihe track or sec. The people poured nut of thu train. Iu the clay lay the Coining like one dead clear of the track, sir. He held the child alive aud unhurt, still clutched iu both huuds. He was only stunnud, and came to in a minute, aud stood up; but he did not seem to see the train, or the crowd of men about him ; nothing but the boy, over whose face he was passing hi hand. "God Almighty 1" he ciied. "It's my Dan!" Then I saw the child's mother down ou the ground with both arms about her husband's knees, and poor old Tanner, pale as a ghost, pulling at bis The Amazons. According to a very ancient tradi tion, the Amcziii8 were a nation of women, who suffered no men to re main among them, but marched to battle under the command of their queen, and formed for a long time a formidable state. They hclu occasion al intercourse with the men .of the neighhorif g states. If boys were born to them, they either sent them to llu-ir fin hers, or killed them.' But they brought up the girls for war, and burned oh" their right breasts, that they might not he prevented from bending thu bow. From ibis custom they received the name Amazon, that is. "breastlcss." Such is the ordinary talc; the origin of which is perhaps to be accounted for by supposing that vague reports, exaggerated and poet ically embellished, had reached the Greeks of the peculiar way : in which the women of var.nus Cuucnsian (lis tricts lived, performing military du ties which elswhere devolved ou hus bands, and also of the numerous ex amples of female heroism which trav elers inform 113, still distinguish the wn men of that region.

The Hartford C'ournnt says: During the Grand Duke Alexis' walks through the Bridgeport cnrtndgo fuetnry the other day, ho pointed to several work ingtnen and inquired of Governor. lew ell, "Are these men what yu call the common people?" The Governor re plied that they were a fab specimen of the wort' ing classes in this country. "But du you mean to say that these get into nfllciul position?" further asked the imperial scion, "Perhaps not any of these men," rejoined Governor Jew ell ; "but men of their clai-sdo; they are educated men, mnst of them that is they can all probably read and write, and most of them take and read the newspapers." "Do you know of any enses where such men have actual ly been elected tn i.flice?" again que ried the curious Alexis. "O, certain ly," the Governor said ; "I myself, worked in the shop as u tanner till I was twenty years of age;" anil the an nouncement seemed to puzzle the Duke a good deal. Here was the Governor of a State, as well dressed and as well appearing as himself, who had actually worked in a shop, and this man was welcoming him in behalf of a hundred thousand voters ; it was mure of an enigma than he had ciphered on pre viously ; but as be. goes through the country he will ascertain, upon inqj'ir i ig, that very many of the public meu here have come direct frojn the work shop.
