THE WESTERN STAGE-Driver.

IT must be remembered that we are here in a land of stage-drivers and highwaymen—a land, in that sense, like England a hundred years ago. The highway robber -road-agent he is quaintly called-is still busy in these parts. The cultus of the stage-coachman always flourishes highest when there are thieves on the road, and where the guard travels armed; and the stage is not only a link between the country and the city and the vehicle of news, but has a faint warfaring aroma, like a man who should be brother to a soldier. California boasts her famous stage-drivers, and among these the famous Foss is not forgotten. Along the unfenced, abominable mountain roads, he launches his team with small regard to human life or the doctrine of probabilities. Flinching travellers, who behold themselves coasting eternity at every corner, look with natural admiration at their driver's huge, impassive, fleshy countenance. He has the very face for the driver in Sam Weller's anecdote, who upset the election party at the required point. Wonderful tales are told of his readiness and skill. One in particular, of how one of his horses fell at a ticklish passage of the road, and how Foss let slip the reins, and, driving over the fallen animal, arrived at the next stage with only three. This I relate as I heard it, without guarantee.
