invented bells in America?'' "Why, yes," replied the Yankee, "we've got belli!, 'but we can't use them on our railroads. We run so fist that the tiain-i always keep ahca l of the round ; tho sound never reaches the village till after the train cots by." "Indeed I" exclaimed the Englishman. "Fact," said the Yankee. "Had to irive up bells then we tried
fitcutn whistle?, but thev wouldn't answer, either. I wa3 on a locomotive when a whistle was hied. We were going at a tremendous rats hurricanes are nowhere, and I had to hold my hair on. We saw a two horeic wagon crossing the track
ibout five mibs ahead, and the
engineer let the whistle on, screech
ing like a trooper. It screamed awfully, but it wasn't no us;. The next thing I knew I was picking my.sclf out of a hole in the wayside, amid the fragments of the locomotive, dead horse?, broken wagon and lead engineer lying beside me. Just then the whistle came along, mixed up with some frightful oaths that I heard the euginoer use when he first saw the horses. "Poor fellow ! he was dead before his voice got to him. After that we tried lights, supposing they would travel faster than sound. We got one so powerful that, the children woke all along t'ae road, supposing it to be morning. But
th locomotive kept ahead of it
still, and was in the darkness when
tlie light was dose behind it. i iiemhabit jnts petitioned agaiust it. They couldn't sleep with so much light in the right-time. Finally
we had to station electric telegraphs along the road, with signal men to telegraph when the train w;is in sight, and I have heard that some of the fast traias beat the lightning fifteen minute: every forty miles. But I can't say as that is true the rest I know to be so."

readinir-room of an express en-rine,
"Railroiwl men learn the lessou of punctualitjr very thoroughly. It won't do to be late, er the train won't start on time, and then an awful row is certain. One time. I was at Albany, and that afternoon the Hudson 'iUvcr, Boston ind Central trains all started at 5 o'clock. Well, the conductors of the trains and the engineers, too, went down the river on a little propellor tlie
Julia, 1 ttnnk she was called, we turned around in plenty of time, but about, ten miles below Albanv,
we ran aground. Wo were in a nice scrape. There wasn't a 'inductor at the depot to take any one's place, and the tide w&3 fiilling. Williams, a splendid, orreat big
fellow, became desperate ; jumped in
to the river, put has shoulders uadf r
the stern when? the propellor had
caught on a mud bank, and as the boat was about nine cat powtr only,
and he was a perfect Hercules, he
actually lifted her on and we arrived at Albany just in time only Williams hud to run tj Syracuse with his wet clotl.es or. "It's a queer existence, too, Tunning day after day through a lot of little places that you don't taku any interest in, or know anything about, more than that the stations are called f-uch stations. It isn't soeh a dangerous life, either. Accident insurance companies don't rate passenger conductors very high, but if ever you want to feci how helpless a mortal you are in the hands of the Almighty, just get on an express engine, and get the engineer to 'open everything' on a dark
night. It's ositively awful to see your headlight boring into darkness, and to think that between you and
instant death there s only the chance
of the two pieces of iron you're
traveling on beinsr continuous and
clear; that if somebody hits just
pried up a rail since tie last, train went over, or anchored sonK'thing on the track, your friends won't
know your bdy when tlie eorceers
jury cdls them as witnef-sess t your
identity. I hat s toe w.y l tnougut the first time I tried it, bub the engineer was smoking a pipe, and the fireman was whistling Mim-a-long Josey.' "When a conductor runs a train out of town and runs another in again the same day, it isn't such a queer life as when he runs u train out one day and in the next. Then he lives two lives. One night he's a married man at one place; the next night he's a bacht lcr at another place, and the next night a married man again and so on, see-saw. "There's a. kind of feeling of re
sponsibility, having three or four
hundred nves in your, kceptog. But then, there's the rules. If you keep to them, if anything happens
it isn't your fault. Waen you are oat of time and have to wait, you're sure to be cross, and sure to be badgered by question s. A foreigner
onoe told me that one ot the most surprising things he'd seen in America, was the respect paid to conductors, and the wty they were obeyed by passengers. But passengers will ask questions when you're waiting, and it's provoking. One day I was out of time, and ran off on a switch to wait either the down train or a telegram io come on. By and by, a lwmixm?" saan conies to me
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. There's a sine' track here,
and she has the right of way.' " 'But suppose the uown train is, behind, too.' "'Then I'll get a telegram "'But suppose they don't telegraph von, how long will vou wait V " 'Iill ihke vfteeh rust ok" said I. "He went back to the coach k growling something about having an engagement in town at the hour the train was due, and I afterward found out that he was the Vich President of the road. But he was. a .'sensible old fellow, though quicktern jiered, d1 I stood better with the officers for wltat I had said.. He used to puke heavy fu at me
