An Editor who Paid fßis Fare.

f • It is evident that Bro. Carr, of tho'GyfoTd Tribune, has act been able to secure a new adve' tising contract-v.ith the “Meson’’ eom--1 pnr.'y. He has been traveling on FbljarTwdrTaFßynnid r chanting'the praises of their lunuii a.s _£oaches and gentlemanly and Aibliging trainmen, as in the lialcvon days when Inter-State commerce bills were not. he breaks forth with this bitter wail: We had the-pleasure of riding on a “fdonon” passenger car recentl.vi doubtless’designed it for 'a grain car red it was used for that purpose ~ becoming toe shaky-for grainit waj used for a lime car.- Becoming too old for this it teas' changed into a passenger coafch witn holes cut in the sides for windows, and wooden boxes for seats,.

After the printer had been duly initialed the pious editor de-; sired to know if he,’ the printer, j was baptized. An affirmative ans- I wer was given. : “I don’t believe you,’’ said the pious publisher. The printer replied that he was there and knew what he was talking about. “I believe you are lytog,” says p p. “You lie your--self.” “Mnoop.” “Hell.” x * * # > x On the next tiain was a passenger for Afonticello.
