SI ti AN EXASPERATED CONDUCTOR; s "AIN'T THIS STEWART'S CRDSSIN6 ?" wi oel BY A BAY STREET DRIJ .1ER. -0 We find the following little nar. rative going the rounds of our ex- S changes, and as there is so much of "human nature," in its unculti vated stage, we give it as related,c as it is more than probable an ac tual fact. Here it is as related by) the author :u Formerly we could never tell 'why so many good things were related of steamboat captains an d clerks. We understand in our eldere days, and can readily see how con tact with all sorts of people natu rally brought awkward positions to those frequently brough t in con- r tact with all manner of charac ters. Gradually the gooi things are Dow falling to conductors-rail-* 'way travel having almost brought steamers to the banks. And, of the conductors on the Georgia b railroads, it seems that those on the Southwestern Railroad, while c they have, possibly, the most gen eral run, suffer more from "out landish folk," traveling south ward to see kinfolk, than any class which I have noticed. Some days, sinice, just before the h train ran out. from the car-shed,In in Macon, I was disturbed while reading the morning paper, by the I entrance of an old lady, who wase slightly deaf, wondrously fussy, and fearfully made ; in fact, very fearfully made for an old lady. Chignon, painer, flounces, and all t those indescribable things whichi the younger of fashions' devotees s so patiently bear, were hiui around her in profusion rare.s After the train moved out, the conductor appeared at the door, and "tickets" came reverberating adown the ailse. I took advan - o tage of the occasion to find out for what point Mrs. J-was bound, and saw that the ticket she handed the conductor was from "Macon to Americas," but she re- C quested the conductor to let her know when the tr-ain arrived ati Stewart's Crossing-which is about four miles above A mericus. Thisa he of course r-eadily agreced to do. I engaged the old lady in con versation, and found that she had been married to Mr. J--about two c months; that she was his third t wia n ehr eodhsad wfe,nheheroe sertndthsatd e v.wharmnea i nuortained that I I-hem was the object of her - .V. v She seemed anxious to n :iS trood an impression on 'i m 'S possible, as she told me ii the iaocence of her heart, be nuze thy were not as well pleased , lhey should have been at his hi l marria(ge. especially as he ,ad4 m1-arried rather an old lady. We chatted pleasantly until we eached Jackson-about the third ta!ion from Macon, I think vien I left the old lady to medi ations. The next station was )owersville, and when the train enehed that point she called the onductor to her and asked him if hat was Stewart's Crossing. [ie replied that it was not, and old her to give herself no trouble, s he would tell her when they eacbed Stewart's Crossing. In iet. that as it was not a regular tation. he would coi e'to her and t her get ready in time. I could L'e. however, that she was ner ots, restless and excited. The train stopped at Fo.rt Va Iv. when she gr'abbed her reti ule, and, calling the conductor, -anted to know if that was Stew t's Crossing. ris reply was cry brief, but to the point: "It is not, malame." Off went the train again, and as e whistle sounded for Marshall. lle, the old lady again grabbed ie precious reticule and called the nducter. 'Mr. Conductor, is this Stew t's Crossing?" "No, madame, I will tell yon hen we get there," was the mused conductor's reply. Away we sped, and Marshall ille vanished, only to bring us, )mewhat behind time, however. >Montezuma. The reticule was rabbed again, and again the con ctor called. In le came. "Is this Stewart's Crossing, Mis r Conductor?" "It is not, ifyou please, maQjame. will certainly let you know when e get there; so you need not ask c." said the irritated conductor. Oglethorpe was passed without ic annoyance, but when Auder nvile was sounded, the old lady as at the highest pitch of excite ent, and as the conductor- was sisting a lady with three bMbies rough the car, she grasped his ceve with one nervous hand and .tiule with the other, and asked ith all the earnestness of' her titable nature : "Mr. Conductor, ain't this Ste art's Crossing ?" The usually good-natured pub functuary was vexed, you could e it all over his smoothly-.shaven ce. "No ma'am, this is not Stewart's rossing. I have told you I wvould t you know when we got there, >be quiet and give yourself' no acasiness." The old lady was tw itching all er with excitement as we steam I away and left Andersonville anishing behind. The conductor ime and took a seat by mec and hile discussing the comp)arative terits of' broad guage and narrow tilroads, forgot everything else. .t length he looked out of' the 'indow,and immediately grabbing >e bell line, exclaimed: "Bless my life, we've passed tewart's at least a mile." topping the train, however, he ad motion reversed, and we ran ver a mile back to Stewart's rossing, when he went to the Id lady. "Ste wart's Crossing, ma'am ?" "Are we there?" she asked. "Yes ma'am; hurry up and get f' as soon as possiblec; we are b id time, and had to 'rn back early two miles for' you," The old lady seemed wondr'ous Scalmed, and said with the great st simplicity: "I don't want to get off here. want to go to Americus." "Don't want to get off here?" bundered the conductor : "what i the thunder did you want us to top here for ?" "Ididn't want you to stop her e." he meekly replied. "What did you want to know thecn we got here for' then ?" "Because," smilingly said the d girl, "my old man told me hlen [ got to Stewart's Crossing If' you never heard a roar you uhit to have been on that train. Lunid the f'uss the bell cord had oe of the most violent pulis had experienced in some time. The old lady r'eached Americus d was met by some kin, who ok her off' the conductor's and s. He, however, pondered over it ell, and I overheard him tell the onductor of the up-train, when hey met, that he never could treat toothiess woman with that v'en ration which they deserved again -especially if she had a reticule nd wan ted to know when he pass J .1 way station.
