Railroad men. brakeman sees that he has a seat ; that his baggage is not bursted open every trip he takes, and the conductor does not wake him up out of his sleep every five minutes to ask for his ticket. But ask a pursy, lordly individual, whose lack of brains is atoned for by the capacity of his stomach, who never asks for any thing, always orders it, and who always praises the last road he was on. And d — s the one he is now on ; or ask a vinegar-looking, hatchet- faced old maid, who has eig...ht bandboxes, a parasol, an um- brella, a loose pair of gloves, a work-bag and a poodle dog, who always has either such a cold that she knows she *' shall die unless that window in front is put down, " or else is certain that she " shall suflfocate unless more air is let into the car, " and who is continually asking whoever she sees with a badge on, whether the " biler is going to bust, " or if " that last station ain't the one she bought her ticket for ? " — ask either of these (and there are a great many travelers who, should they see this, would de- clare that I meant to be personal), and they will tell you that railroad men are " rascals, sir !
