“I have always thonght I'd like to be a_ railroad conductor—for a little while at least.” R T'he old conductor smiled and knockledthe ashes off bis cigar. - “Well,” said he, I believe almost everybody has had that fecling at one time or another. There is something fascinating to a sober business man in the idea of doing business and carning your living at 30 miles an_ hour, and the spieccof “danger that you may at any moment be sent to kingdom come by “lightning exprees,” is just vagae enough not to frighten, but attract.— But to a conductor it’s a prosaic business enough. So it is to engineers and brakemen, Don’t you remember that, ‘at the inquest over the Norwich Bridge .accident, it was shown that the engineer was in the habit of opening everything, and then readiug a newspaper. He wasneglecting his busihess, ‘of course, but it shows what habit will do ; ’twill make a reading-room of an expresg engine. ' “Railroad men learn, the lesson of punctuality very thoroughly. It won’t do to be late, or the train won’t start on time, and then an awful row i 8 certain. One time I was at Albany, and that afternoon the Hudson River, Boston and Central trains all started at soo’clock. . Well, the conduactors of the trains, and the engineers, too, went down the river on a little propellor—the Julia, I think she was ‘called. We turned around in plenty of time, but about ten miles below Albany we ran aground. We were in a nice serape. There wasn’ta conductor at the depot to take any one’s place, and the tide was falling. Williams, a splendid, great big fellow, got desperate, jumped into the river, put his shoulder under the stern, where the pro%ellor had struck a mud bank, and as the boat was about nine cat power only, and he was a perfect Hercules, he actually, lifted her off, and we got to Albany just in time—only Williams had to run to ‘Syracuse with his wet clothes ‘on. v : i

“It's a queer existence, running day after day through a lot of little places that you don’t take any interest in, or know anything about, more than that the stations are called such stations.— Itisn't such a dangerous life, either. Accident insurance companies don’t rate passenger conductors very high; but if you want to feel how helpless a mortal you are in the hands of the Al~mighty, just get on an express engine, and get the engineer to “open everything” on a dark night. It’s positively awful to see your head-light 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 being continuous and clear; that if somebody had just pried up a rail since the last train ~went over, or anchored something on the track, your friends won’t know your body when the coroner’s jury calls them a 8 witnesses to your identi.ty.. That’s the way I thought the first time I tried it, but the engineer wag smoking a }»ipe" ‘and the fireman ‘was whistling *Jim-a-long Josey. - “When a conductor runs a-train out -of town and another in again the same “day, it isn’t such a queer life a 8 when . ~he runs a 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 nigh the’s a_bachelor at a;ndtbuglace, : aqg the next a married man again=—and so_ o, seo saw. ~ “There's a kind of foeling 6 doopon, .;ibﬁtmy;;wa“ three or four Lsmi hﬁ-ﬁ gw%ﬁsﬁlﬂ f,{g“ f g et ‘wait, you're sure to be cross, and sure o Dadgored by quostons.

L 0 SLR Ed. T R BNRR W, o ReR g cigner_once told me that, one iﬁ( mest ’g things be'd seensin America was the reapest pard ta. poeductors, and ﬁm% ey moﬁeﬁd by passengers. But' passengers will ask questions ‘when you’re waiting, and . ‘(i}s"a provoking. One day I wasout of time, and ran off on:a switch to' wait for either the down train ora telegram to come on. By and by aipom-: pous man comes to me as I was sitting onthe fatied, « 508 sVo v | “Mr. Conductor,” gays. he, what are we waiting for 2”7 ,f g ' «For the down train—we'ré out of time. Thete’s a single track liere, and she has the right of way.” = " ißut suppose the down train is bethind; to 0.” /% i v iHey “Then I'll get & telegram.” 1 . “But suppose they don’t telgrapk you, how long will you wait ?” “Tull the wheels rust off;’. said L~ “He ‘went back to the coach, grow}k ing something about having an e ‘gagement in town at thehour the train was dne, ‘and T afterward- fotimd | that he was Viec Presidént of the road. DBut he was a'esensible 'old fellow, ' though: gick' tempered, ‘and I stood better with the officers for what I bad gaid. .He used to poke heavy fun at me sometimes, and recommend to wet the wheels and they would rust off sooner. _ £y

“It’s astonishing; how reckless some railroad men become, I was on a side track waiting out of time once, and a fellow comes to mé 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 T had never seen, because he’d just come on the road.— He was courting a girl on the line of the road, I_afterwa.r(fs found out, and had an engagement to go to a ball with her that night, which this lay over interfered with. e So he says, very guickly, “No. they ain’t ;” and when Iq?l()oke‘d surprised, he says, “I’m: the Superintendent of this road, and 1. tell you you’vé time to get over this bit of single traek and have three minutes tospare before the down train reachesit. I have, calenlated and know.” . iy “I've got my printed orders, Mr. Superintendent,” says I, and he broke right in— = LT e e “Never mind your prinfed orders, I order you tosgo ahead.” ik w 1 19 @ Well, F'wouldn’t, and he was awful mad, and swore'that I.should not run a week longer on that road. Probably afrer’he’had. got cooled down he would have never gaid a word about the matter, for he was ~ eleardy.in .the wrong. Three minutes is too close a shave on time when six or seven hundred people’s lives are interested, and regular printed orders are to be obeyed till other regular printed’ orders are issued. © But I thought, at firat, he'd complain to the President, and I was buuud tv hiave the firat ¢alk I pOSBIDIC,

The President heard my story, and sent for the Superintendent. He denied that he had ordered me at all, or made any threats,. but he had told me I had fen minutes to spare. * 8o 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‘ it L L 4 All at once a gentleman who had been sitting with a newspaper held in front of his face at tho back of the office, came forward. A g

“Mr. President,” said he, “I happenéd to be standing by these two men when they had that talk: The conductor is right, and the other man lies. - If the {rain had gene on I had made. up.my mind to walk back o the last station ; the chance of an aceident seemed 8o gremt:”’ ¢ i by Then the President was mad. ©

“Why, good heavens!” sgaid he, “my wife and family were on' that train. Mr. Superintendent; go and draw _your wages to the first ' of next smonth, and leave the road now!” But sometimes a conduetor i 3 put in such a position that the rules won’t guide him. - Then the responsibility is very great. I remember once; being so placed, and T thought at the'time my hair onght'to have turned white that night with anxiety. B It was when the Hudson River Railroad was jugt built, . There was no telegraph-along the line then, and everything was quite primitive - compared to what it is now. The flhgmen had got on a sort of "astrike! abont those days, too, ko that'yod trusted 16 luck for safe running, I was ‘;jinﬁigg asort of way-train between New York and Poughkeepsie then. Runpingan express is much pleasanter.than run-: ning a.way train, you.mp,rm}l{!.i@-’; agine. An express’ sométimes don’t stop for an hour at‘a’‘time,’ ‘and ai.ffér you've “worked” your coaches oncé, you have nothing 1 Qo but fo st dows and carnyour money thaf easy way. Then when you_ reach, the next station, if your brakemen mind their bus: iness,. .they can tell you how: many passengers have got into each icoach;: and then you are always-ablé to'pick’ thenr out, because they havn't pot the settled ait of the old passengers. “Bfit: a way-train conduetor has mﬁéﬁ% har derWork. = o 0 in Lt ieananit ‘Well, I ran the train ontof f‘%ﬂaw‘ York: one afternoon, and I'had for the' driver of the' engine a mat who was’ famous for the accurate way 1? whﬁh , he would come up to his stations,’ He would stop any named coach almost to a foot where he said he would ; but' on this occasion he .appeared to have poor luek. He ran past his stations and liad to back.down, and then-again he would stop so short that tbe%ngme would be in front of the stasion ‘and the rear coach an eiglith of & mile back, and it raining hard, too. .
