An Astonished Boston Man.

Boston Transcript. To a Bostonian traveling ' through this western country some things look very queer. A little incident I saw at Quincy, HI., I thought worth while to write you about We arrived at the depot hard on midnight, and made our way to the foot of the depot to a row of omnibuses, and entered one. When full, to our astonishment, a rather preposessing young lady came to the door and asked for our baggage checks, and later for our coach fare, after collecting which she alighted and called to the driver: “All right, Charley.” Inquiry revealed to us the fact that this girl had “just bought out the bus line and runs the business.” Think of a Boston girl doing this! New Jersey is trying to claim Noah, because he was a New-ark man. Yes, but yon know he looked out of his Arkansaw land. Give the South a fair show in this thing./
