THE COSDUOTOE'S STOET.
We were smoking one night before the
hatei siujtiu? room grate, when one ma:i
said :
' I Iiave always thought I'd like to be a
railroad conductor for a little while at
Last.""
The old couJuetor smiled and knocked
the ashes off his cigar. -
' Well," said he, "I believe almost every
body has ba 1 that feeling at one time or an
other. There is something faciiiating to a
eoler bui-iness man in the idea of doing
business and earning your living at 30 miles
an tour, and the spice of danger that you
way at any moment be sent to kingdom
cmr.c by TigbttHi.g express, is just vague
enough ti not frighten but attract. But to
a conductor it's prosaic buness enough.
So it is to engineers and Irakmen. Dou't
yva remember that, at the inquest over the
Norwich Bridge accident, it was shown that
the cngiuuer was in the habit of opening
everything and then reading a newspaper?
He- was neglectir.g his business, of course ;
but it thrws what habit will do ; 'twill make
a reading-room of an express engine."
"Railroad men learn the lesson of punctu
ality very thoroughly. It won't do to be
lute, or the train won't Mart on time, and
then an awful row is certain. One time I
was at Albany, and that afternoon the Hud
son River, Boston and Central trains all
started at Eve o'clock. Well, the conduc
t'Tsot the trains, and the engineers, too,
went down the river on a Iirtlo propeller
the Julia, I think she was called. We turn
ed rouiid In plenty of time, but about ten
milaa below Albany we ran aground. We
were in a nice scrape. There wasn't a con
ductor at the depot to take any one's place,
and the ,'lide was falling. Williams, a
fplenlid, gr'-at big fellow, got desperate,
jumped into the river, put his shoulder un
dcr the stern, where the propeller had
eanht on a mud bank, and as the boat was
a'l'Ut nine cat power only, and be was a
perfect Hercules, ha actually lifted her off,
and we got to Albany just in time ouly
Williams had to run to Syracuse with his
wet clothes on."
"It's a queer existence, too, running day
after day through a lot of little places that
you dou't take aiiy 'interest in, or know any
thing about, more than the stations are call
ed such stations. It isn't such a dangerous
lift either. Acvident insurance companies
Wt rate passenger conductors very high,
tutifevfryou want to feel how helpless a
mortal yuu are in the hands of the Almigh
ty, get on an express engine, and get the
engineer to 'opei everything' on a dark
tight. It is positively awful to see your
Wilijfht boring into darkness, and to
thitk that between you a"?d instant death
tiere's oc'y the chance of the two pieces of
iron you are traveling on bsin j coctinous
aai clear ; tLt if somebody has just pried
ni rail since the last train went over, or
anchored something on the track, your
friend? won't know your bdy when the
c-iroair's jury calls them as witnesses to
your identity. That is the way I thought
thefir.-t lime I tried it, but the engineer
v sai iiiuij a pipe, and the fireman was
whitr.u 'Jim t. !ong-Jcsy.' "
' hvn a eomlu.'t r runs a train out of
t'j'n and runs another ii: again the 'same
uy. it in't such a queer life as when he
runjatiain out one day aud in the next.
Then he lives two lives. One night ha is a
fi-arri--d man at one place ; the next night
le i i bi.dielor at another ."place, and the
E-'t i i,;ln. a niarn'jd u.ari aaiu aud so on,
tt saw. '
"I litre i-. a kind of a feeling of responsi
bility, huviug three or four hund.-ed lives in
? "iir w-!:iii. But thin there's the rules.
l yuu keep them, if anythi'lg happens it
--u t year tauit. When you are out of time
vtii lave to wait, you're sure to be cross,
and sure to be badgered by questions. A
ijreij.n.-r once told me that one of the most
irpri.-iu things be hal been in America
M the respect paid to conductors and the
they were obeyed by passengers. But
pa-Hiugeri will a-k questions when you are
'-tiuS. and it is provoking. One day I
as out of time, and run off on a switch to
a.t :-r either the down train or a telegram
income on. By and by a pompous man
W'tu -'j to tue as I was sitting on the fence."
'Mr. Conductor,' says he, 'what are you
waiting for?' '
" 'For the down train we're out of time,
Thire is a sinxle track here, and she has the
r't.'ht of way. "
' 'Hat suppose the down train is behind
too." "
Then 1 11 get a teles-ram.' "
Hut suppose they don't telegraph you,
now long will you wait?' "
" 'Till the wheels rust o J, said L"
He went back to the coach, growling
Bething about having-an eugagement in
to" at the hour the train was due, and I
afterwards found out that he was the Vice
President of the road. But he was a sensi
ble oid fellow, though quick tempered, and
I stood better with the officers for what I
had said. He used to poke heavy fun at
me sometimes, and recommended me to wet
the wheels and they would rust off sooner."
"It is astonishing how reckless some rail
road men become. I was on a side track
waitine out of time once, and a fellow comes
to me and says, 'Why don't you go on ?'
'Cause my orders are to stay,' I said rather
sharply."
"He was the new superintendent, a young
fellow whom I had never seen because he'd
just come on to the road. He was courting
a girl on the line of the road, I afterwards
found out, and had an engagement to go to
a ball with her that night, which this 'lay
over' interfered with."
"So he says, very quickly, 'No they are
not and when I looked surprised, he says,
'I'm the superintendent of this road, and I
tell you you've time to get over this bit of
single track and have three minutes to spare
before the down train reaches it. I have
calculated and know.' "
', I've got my printed orders, Mr. Su
perintendent,' says I, and he broke right
in "
" 'Never mind your printed orders, I or
der you to go ahead.' "
"Well, I would not and he was awfully
mad, and swore I should not run a week
longer on that road. Probably, after be had
cooled down he would have never said a
word about the matter, for he was clearly
wrong. Three minutes is too close a shave
on time when six or seven hundred people's
lives are interested, and regular printed or
ders are to be obeyed till other regular print
ed orders are issued. But I thought, at
first, he'd complain to the President, and I
was bound to have the first talk, if possible.
"The President heard my story and sent
for the superintendent. He denied that he
had ordered me at all, or made any threats,
but said he had told me I bad ten minutes
to spare. So it was a question of veracity,
and I began to think I would be sent back
to run my train, and that running a train
on that road would not be my business very
long,"
"All at once a gentleman who had been
sitting with a newspaper held in frout of
his face at the back of the office, came for
ward." " 'Mr. President,' said he. 'I happened
to be standing by these two men when they
had that talk. The couductor is right, and
the other man lies. If the train had gone
on I had made up my mind to walk back to
t he last station ; the chance of an accident
seemed so great.' "
"Then the President was mad."
"'Why, good heavens!' said he, 'my,
wife and family were on that train. Mr.
Superintendent, go and draw your wages to
the. first of next month, and leave the road
uow?"
"But sometimes a conductor is put in such
a position that the rules wou't guide him.
Then the responsibility is very great. I re
member once being so placed, and I thought
at the, time that my hair ought to have
turned white that night with anxiety. "
"It was when the Hudson River Railroad
was jut built. There was no teU'firaph
along the line then, and everything was
quite primative compared to what it is low.
The flagmen bad got on a sort of a strike
about those days, too, S3 that you trusted
to luck for safe running. I was running a
sort of way-train between New York aud
Pougbkeepsie then. Running an express
is much pleasanter than running a way, you
may easily imagine. An express sometimes
don't stop for an hour at a time, and, after
you've worked your coaches once, you have
nothing to do but to sit down and earn your
money that easy way. Then, when you
reach the next station, if your brakesmen
mind their business, they can tell you how
manv passengers have got into each coach,
and then you are always able to pick them
out, because they have not got the settled
air of the old passengers. But a way train
conductor has much harder work."
"Well I ran the train out of New York
one afternoon, and I had for my driver a
tnau who wan iauious for the accurate way
in which he would come up to his stations,
lie would stop any named coach almost to a
foot where he said he would ; but on this
occasion he appeared to have very poor
luck. He ran past his stations and had to
backalown, and then again he would stop so
short that the engine would be in frout of
the station and the rear coach an eighth of
a mile back, and it raining hard, too. Then
he would start up again, just as the passen
gers were getting out. So we kept running
behind time all tbe while. There was a
sort of a lightning express came out of New
York about an hour after us, and we were
gradually working back into its time."
"We got near Fishkill, and, having made
an awful bad shot at the depot, I said to the
baggage-master: 'Mack has bad luck at
making his stations to-day. Wonder what
is the matter ?' "
"The baggage-master turned round on me
quickly and said :
" 'If you want to know what I think, I
think Mack is drunk.' "
" 'It can't be,' says I, 'I never saw him
touch a drop of liquor or smell of it in any
way.' "
" 'That is so,' said the man, 'but I think
he is drunk to day. ne was in the car here
a little while ago, and picked up all the
brakesmen's lanterns and slung them in a
bunch at me. I dodged, aud they went out
of the car door and smashed. Then he
chuckled and went back to tbe engine,' "
"I did not like the idea of a drunken en
gineer, but had to laugh at the fate of tbe
lanterns. If I had known how I was going
to groan over their fate soon. I would not
have laughed then."
"When I got above Fishkill, I thought I
would let those who got on at one of the
little stations ride free to the next station,
while I rode on the engine and investi
gated." -"So I got on tbe 'Corning,' and Mack
looked black enough instead of as civil as
usual. I joked him about bis bad luck in
making his stations, and he growled out a
curse. I asked him if he knew how far ho
had got back into the lightening express
time, and he said he knew his own business.
The man was evidently drunk and surly. I
happened to put my hand down under the
cushion of the seat and felt a bottle. Pull
ing the cork out I smelled whiskey, and
quietly threw it overboard. But Mack saw
me and cursed me for destroying his prop
erty. "What did you throw that bottle
away for ; it wasn't your rum V be said at
the end of an awful swear."
" 'I'll toil you why,' said I ; 'I ara con
ductor of this train, and you are too drunk
to do jour business right, and you'd get
worse and worse if you had a bottl:.' "
"Then be grinned a savage sort of a grin,
and quieted down into a silent state, but he
looked dangerous about the eyas."
"You're conductor of this train, are you?
I'll show you how much you have to do with
running it," says he.and began to 'slow up,'
and we behind time already you know: I
didn't know exactly what to do we were
getting quite dangerously near the lighten
ing express time and while I was debating,
he suddenly 'blew brakes,' with a fiendish
chuckle, and slopped at a station that the
train never stopped at before. I looked at
my watch and determined to send a brake
man back with a lantern and stop the ex
press. Just then a thought struck me that
made my hair stand on end. There wasn't
a lantern on the train the drunken beast
had smashed them all there wasn't a soul
at the station, which was miles away from
its village ; the express didn't stop before it
reached Pougbkeepsie, so that I couldn't
leave word to caution it, and just then I
heard its whistle a mile or two back. The
engineer beard it too, and laughed a diabol
ical laugh.
"That decided me. I caught up a wrench
and hit him back of his ear,and he dropped
like dead. I dragged his body (I didn't
know then whether I was handling a corpse
or not) off the engine and threw it down by
the roadside and jumped on the engine.
"Jimmy," said I, "'the express is after
us. Mack smashed all the lanterns so we
can't stop her. Our only chance is running
away from her so cram ou the wood and
I'll open everything."
"I knew, by observation, bow to open
and how to shut off, but of course couldn't
graduate the '.speed like a professional. I
'opened eyervtKng,' you may be sure, and
away we jumped. It was a curious chase.
To be hunted by a locomotive don't full to
tbe lot of every one. Our engine was not so
powerful as the express engine, and our train
was quite long; so we crammed in the fuel
and depended upon the . high pressure for
our salvation, s Of course, I never thought
for a moment of stopping that side of Pough
keepsie ; so we speeded past the stations.all
lighted and filled with wondering faces."
"Just after passing the second the gong
on the engine struck some one had pulied
the safety 'rope. The . fireman's hand
went instintive'y to the whistle to 'blow
brakes,' but I caught it- . It was the most
anxious minute of my life. If I did not
mind the signal, and something'was wrong
and an accident should occur, I should al
ways be blamed, even if I didn't blame my
self. But if I stopped, the express might
probably would run right into us. The
pull didn't sound professional like a brake
man's. It probably was a jerk at the rope
by a passenger who had been carried by his
station so I'd chance it.
. "All this went through ray mind like
lightening, as you may imagine one thinks
quickly On such occasions and I caught tbe
fireman's arm. He bad never heard of such
a thing as disobeying the gong, and stared.
I was too excited to speak, but pointed to
the fire, and he put in more wood quietly.
"Well to make a long story short, I nev
er 'blew brakes,' till the engine was oppsite
the station. Then I shut off, blew one
whistle, and went slitting up the road. Just
as we stopped, the express, whose station
whistle I had heard just behind me, came
up to the depot, and stopped where the
trains usually do. If I had minded the
gong, or stopped in front of the depot, I'd
been smashed.
"You see there was no way to do but run
for it. We hadn't a red light for the rear
car; we hadn't a lantern, nor couldn't get
one, to send back to signal ; the flagmen
were on a strike, and the express didn't stop
anywhere till it reached Pougbkeepsie, and
she had got so close to as when the engineer
cut up as he did, that I couldn't stop at
tbe station and send a man back. Before
he could have got far enough away they'd
have been so close that they couldn't have
'broke up' in time, but would have come
into us.
"I didn't know whether I had kUled
Mack or not, and took the 'owl train' back,
and found him all right as regards death,
but very sick from the dip I'd given him.
"The company gave me this watch when
they heard of it."
Two women were having some hard words
together, when the daughter of one of them
popped her bead out of the door and cried,
"Be quick, mother, and call her a thief be
fore she call you one."
Voyage on the "Mary Ann."
Pale lana was just disappearing behind a
distant hay stack, and the hands on my two J
dollar watch were pointed at the solemn hour
of twelve where they bad been pointing for
two months- when the fast and romroodious
steamer, Mary Ann, with a snort like the
dying groan of a dime novel hero, steamed
up to Bayville wharf and made fast. I was
there. I was with my friend Jeremiah, and
we were going away. Yes, I had kissed my
Miranda adieu, and he had dittoed with his
Araminta, and we were off. He was the
friend of my bosom was Jeremiah, and he
carried a black bottle in his breast pocket
That's what breast-pockets are made foT.
The bottle contained "soothing syrup" for
children of a mature growth. My baggage
consisted as follows :
One shirt, one box velocipede collars, one
comb, one cigar, and one bottle of "soothing
syrup" likelJereuiiah's. We both thought
we'd need soothing before we reached our
destination. We felt so inwardly.
"All aboard!" ycllec the Captain of the
Mary Ann, who was a chap of much stom
ach, and had a voice like a Pennsylvania
dinner horn. "Draw in your gang plank,
throw off your bow line, put your helm bard
down, ring op on her, and tnke a reef in the
cook's waterfall." His orders were obeyed.
As we paced the deck of the Mary Ann I
came to the conclusion that tbe noble steam
er would be an excellent thing to go to a
funeral ia. Jeremiah said he didnt think it
was fast enough, and after I bad given the
matter due consideration,! come to tbe same
conclusion, likewise.
.Jeremiah said be felt like being soothed,
I said I felt ditto. Jeremiah produced his
black bottle,and wc soothed. I said I felt bad
about parting from my Miranda, and Jere
miah said be felt likewise about dittoing
with his Araminta, so we soothed once more,
and went below.
Met a slim roirter with much side whia
kers.whosaid as follows : "Fare.gentlemen."
"All right," said we,
"One dollar each," said he.
Forked over tbe stamps and asked for
bunks. He showed us bunks and we turned
in. Warm bunks these, warm as as well,
as a fresh baked doughnut Felt like sooth
ing a few, and called J. up. J. was in ; we
soothed some, and turned in and tried to
sleep. In a very few moments I had a bite
a big bite a bite what hurt Then di
rectly I bad another bite, then about a dozen
bites.
"Say," said J. to tho slim rooster, "have
these bedbugs paid their fare?" but s. r.
passed away and replid not
Proposed to set up and soothe. J. was
in, so we got up aud soothed. Went on
deck to view nature by starlight Nature
looked about as usual. J. said he was feel
ing badly about his Araminta and wanted
to soothe. Soothed much. "Soothing syr
up" was disappearing fast as dew before the
morning sun.
Discovered a solitary female sitting alone
by herself, viewing the stars and things and
saying nothing to nobody. Her form was
beautiful, not to say striking, but her face
was turned away. Her thoughts were on
the little starses in the sky, and her eyeses
looked in those direction. I seated myself
by her Fide, but still she looked not upon me,
"Beauteous maiden," said I with a ten
der sigh, "doth vieweth the little starses
that twinkle and blink in the blue arch above
like tallow dips at a woods meeting?"
She turned her face full upon me, and
she was as black as a bat.
"Thing3 are not as they should be," I
thought, and I arose from those seat and
wended my way to Jeremiah.
"W list soothe?"
"Yea," said I, and we soothed.
Looked around and saw a lovely fair one
who was running much to waist I made
my way unto her side, and spoke as follows :
"Fair one, wilst let me occupy, for a few
short moments, those seat by thy side, and
permit me to converse unto thee of nature
and things what surround us ?"
When she looked up into my face and re
plied: "Nix-for-sthay."
I said no more to those female, but joined
Jeremiah and soothed. Saw another girl
alone with herself viewing the moon with
herchin in her hand. "Loveliest being," I
said, "dost enjoy natures scenes and things?"
She said, "I dost,"
"I do likewise," I replied, seating myself
near her, "nature has been my study since
emerged from my fifth year. Yes, I lov
eth nature much. I love her skyses. her
starses, her treeses; and all her other work
ses, and I love to sit by the side of an ap
preciating child of nature of the female de
nomination, and converse of these things
and sich."
"Indeed !" said she.
"Ah, yes," I returned, with a sigh what
busted the top button from my pants, "it is
fully thus more than thus."
At that moment a chap that was much
large, and wore a mustache about the size of
a shoe brush, stepped up unto my side and
spoke as follows : "Young man, arise from
those seat, and immediately entice thyself
away from the side of my wife."
I enticed immegiately from the side of
them wife and those man, and I wish not to
sec them again. Soothed with J. and turned
in. "Shood" all the bedbugs down to J'a
bunk while he reposed. Wrapped myself
in a U. S. blanket.and let my thoughts drift
to my Miranda. Thusly I fell asleep. When
I awoke I found the bedbugs had lifted J.
froj) his bunk, and were debating whether
to remove him by way of the window or the
door. I seized a boot and drove them off,
after which J. waked, and we soothed, and
waited for morning. Reader, take my ad
rice and don't travel on a steamboat.
, Moss Agates. . j
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial at Shermam, Black Hills, Wyo
ming territory, writes :
"Nearly every visitor to these hills and
the plains is an anxious and excited seeker
after mws agates' a name applied to a
species of silicious formation that has been
wonderfully and beautifully figured and
flowered through the united agencies of iron
solutions penetrating it, and then, becoming
exposed to the action of the air, going thro'
a surj.and wind drying process after the wa
ters of some river bed or lake had evapora
ted. Some of these moss asates are very
tastefully inlaid with exact imitations of
pine trees, vioas.codar forests, hedges trains
of cars,staffs, figures, tnd almost every im
aginable drawing. The agates found along
the line of the' Union Pacific are of four
different colors, partaking of the names of
places where found, as follows : tbe Chey
CJne brown agate, Granger water agate,
Church Buttes light blue agate and the
Sweetwater cream agate. The two latter
are the most valuable and most delicately
formed.
"I he most extensive agate beds are found
in the vicinity of Church Buttes and Gran
ger, distant about eight hundred aud eighty
miles west of Oinaha. These beds are about
fifty yards wide and one hundred long, be
ing is jlated from each other at a distance of
from one to two miles. As you approach
them you'. observe a large patch of smooth,
round, black cobble stones, and between
these lie, almost concealed, the different
sized and shaped moss agates, and occasions
ally sparkling among them, a bright to pas
and brown and yellow streaked cornelian.
The intrinsic value of the agate consists in
its display of moss, the vine and cedar for
est being the most prized for jewelry sets.
In one hour's tin he I have gathered a half
gallon, some of which are extremely pretty,
and I know of no pleasure, either in hunt
ing buffalo or catching trout, half so excit
ing and so full of glory as the finding of a
choice agate. I have seen staid old men
search in silence for a few minutes for a
'real shiner,' and when they came upon it
pick it up suddenly, take off their hats,
swing them in tbe air, jump up and shout
aloud, like schoolboys that bad just been
let out for a two week's vacatron. The
very novelty of finding precious stones a
ruong black rocks, far out on the plains,
many miles from home or habitation, is a
delight so pleasant and intoxicating, that it
takes a mighty nerve to resist the pressure of
one's making a stupendous fool of himself.
Good agates are worth, as jewels.frora three
to five dollars a piece. As novelties they
are invaluable.
Luck. "I don't have any good luck."
Fudge. What do you expect, you mere
grumbler? Is the world to turn from its
way and business to sweeten you up, put
you on pins, and then return to its own af
fairs? Not if it knows itself, and the popu
lar prejudice is that it has some experience
in that line. If you expect "luck" as it's
termed, without working like a goodfcllow
for it, you will simply be disappointed. And
you ought to be. It would be nothing else
but a swindle. Luck is a product not a
chance. It is born of toil ; does not fall
ready at baud. It comes to thoss who work
and win, and . not those who lazily wait.
There is nothing more foolish than for
young men to believe in luck. It is a Taith
without foundation, and sadly ruinous in
its consequence.
A farmer's son had for a long time been
ostensibly studying Latin in a popular acad
emy. The farmer not being satisfied with
the coarse of the young hopeful, recalled
him from school, and placing him by tho
side of a cart, one day, thus addressed him :
"Now Joseph, here is a fork, and there is a
heap of manure and a cart ; what do you
call them in Latin ?" "Forkibns, cartibus,
et manuribus," said Joseph. "Well, now."
said the old man, "if you do Dot take that
forkibus pietty quickibus, and pitch that
manuribus into that cartibus, I will break
your lazy backibus." Joseph went to work-
ibus forth witbibus.
A worthy deacon in a town somewhere in
North America, gave notice at a prayer
meeting, the other night, of a church-meeting
that was to be held immediately after,
and unconsciously added : "There is do ob
jection to the fe jaale brethern remaining 1"
This was equaled by a clergyman who told
in his sermon of a very affecting scene,
where "there was not a dry tear in the
house!"
Josh Billings says: "You ain't obliged to
ask a gal's mammy if you may go home with
her from a partce ; git the gal's konccut,
and sail in ; its proper euuff to ask her to
takeyure arm, but mind yon, you have got
no right to put yuro arm around her waste
unless you meet a bear on tbe rode, and,
then you are bound to take ynre arm away
jest as won as the bear gets safely by."
A little youngster, two and one-half years
old. who had heard some complaint in the
family about pegs in shoes hurting the feet
approached hts mother the other day. with
his fingers in. his mouth, and said : "Mam
ma, me dot pegs tumming in my mouf, and
dey hurt me." And sure enough the little
fallow was cutting two or three nice teeth.
Josh Billings, with characteristic non
sensical common sense, remarketh: '"There
is lots of folks in this world, who rather
than not find any fault at all, wouldn't hesi
tate to say to an angle worm that his tail
was altogether tew long for his body."
A very small pattern of a man lately so
licited the hand of a fine buxom girl. "Oh,
no," said the fair lady, "I can't think of it
for a moment ; the fact is, Tommy, you are
a little too bisr to be put in a cradle, and a
little too small to b6 put to bed."
