4 NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1875 —QUADRU PLE SHEET. — QN A CATICE TRAIN. Deseription of the Transportation of Live Stock by Rail. THE HUMOROUS AND GROTESQUE. Vivid Experience of the Life of a “Shipper.” Cruelties Practised on the Dumb Prisoners. “Working a Passage” from Buffalo. Let two iotellizent men wancer into the mazes ofa large cattle yard, and I venture to assert that they will soon flau themselves as utterly lost as the babes in the wood. In the first place, the ordinary noise and bustle of the place are contustog to @ degree to tue uamitiated, A strongly imag- inative person might easily ‘ancy himself in the spirit land of tae Uld Testamont—at the camping ground where those royal cattle thieves, Saul and Jonathan, herded “the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlimgs and the lambs,’ which they bad raided from the rich pa ture lands of Agag, King of the Amalek- ite, And tne denizens of the place, too, do their best to create ® modorao Babel; for mea and boys, of every nationality and dialect, shout themselves hoarse and purple tn the fave in thetr frantte endeavors to manage the unruly desecudants of the famous fat monarchs of Bashan, Thue, what with the snouting, the bellow- ing of the cattle, the Dieatiag of the sheep, and the incessant grunting and squealing of the thousands of hogs, @ chorus of discord is dinned into au unhappy stranger’s ears which Is more than apt to produce temporary distraction, Again, all the yards and communicating passage ways are partitioned off with board fencing some eight feet hich; an arrangement which inter‘ores sadiy wilh apything ike a panoramic view of the surroundings to those ordinary mortals Who are wot provided with woat Sam Weiler calla “patent double-miltion maegulfyiag gas pDicrosvopes of hextra power,” A sbort time ago T stood In one o! [hese perpiex+ ing passage ways in the heart of the cattic yard at Buffalo trying to determine which would be the best way for me to go lo order to reach a certain part of the yards. Iwas fairiy pazaied, but had especial reasons jor desiring not to appear other wise than quite at home, Efforts in such @ direc- tion, Bowever, are seldom rewarded, and | bave & strong suspicion that on this Gecasion mine failed ignominiousiy. A plank, laid flat, runs along the top of the fencing, and as I locked drat in one direction and then tm another a burly drover, who | was perched on the fence just above me, began to whistic the tane of “Littie Bo-Peop has lost bor sheep and don't know where to fiad ‘em,’ in What seenied to me @ very jeering way. It ‘s poserbic, however, that 1 was mistaken, and that his musteal education had been suMcrently negiected to render him entirely unconscious of the melodious satire, And tuere, in spite of his whistiing, I coutioued to stand—the picture of despair, ana as disconsolate as Tom Moore's Fert at the gate of Hden—till a storm of yells und hoot. ings ioused in’, 1 turned bastily—to see & bullock coming fall sewing down the passage way in the eentre of which | (ood, and already within a distance of ten or fifteen yarisof me.

Not so the man waose Dnilock had broken away, and who bad fondiy hop that I would have stopped nim, He culled me @ “God-damned, great, ngiy losier;” sata he had half a mind to knock me of the jeuce with bis pole, and made some very acompiimeniary criticistas on my not knowing iliinois sceers, which are tolerably do- cile, from Texa# stccrs, which aro proverbially wild and yus and are provided witn the most alarming }20 gzhorns, Me wound up by ierting Of a justiade of Cathe and imprecations, both at me end the recalcitrant bullock, whieh had by this time been stopped and brougnt back, and he farther reireved his feelings by continually goading te uofortun animal till he Wes lo:t to view. kiug that after t tw or me to attempt to sppearances any longer with the man be y eked him where [ could find e ® lot of cattie which 1 off for New Yorr. js the wan Woo travels with the stock aitcr it duciag the journey, &c.) “Way, thav'a him ae Just been a cusatn’ you so,” he repied.

He said that he would “get along all right” and that ne did not want me. I told him that | was @ poor devil trying to get to New York, and made an earnest appeal to him to take me with him, He debated the matter in his own mind, My offer was, | thought, aa advantageous one for him; for itis nard work looking after a large lot of cattle, Finally he said be would je what coud do about @ pass, and told me to walk up to the bridge over the track, bout half a mile away, where the caboose was standing, and there await his coming.
