REUBEN WRITES TO FLANEUR.-- The following letter from Walton, , signed "Reuber," and written to " Flaneur," sppeared in last Satur- , day's Mall and Empire : " Dear Flaneur,—Ae there were a great , many people the other morning going down from our locality to your ex- .1,pibitlon, f thought d would also take n the trip, and, thinking over my visit to the city, I thought I could not do , better than write to you, .whose ppge I enjoy eo much every week, and tell you what a delightful time I spent in your city. Being a et,[anger and entirely dependent on the courtesy of the citizens of Toronto for information in regard to any locality or place of interest, wo were charmed with the unfailing courtesy with whioh we were everywhere met, from the burly policeman to the small boy on the street corner. Everyone was kind, courteous and obliging and, where information was asked for, one would be dense, indeed, did one not understand the very definite directions which were always given. In one of the large stores this was particularly noticeable, and, indeed, in this store the system and attend• ante is so complete that shopping, which is genarallya wearisome task, GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY SYSTEM.

We have often beard reflections cast on the manners of the city salespeople, bat some uf our elerke in towns and villages would do well to Imitate these people, whose lives are neceaurtly so much more arduous than thein. We not- iced a rather amusing instance In this store one evening. Two ladies ball- ed a gentleman In the furniture de- partment, and one of them explained that she had lost a 50 -cent piece, which she was positive was under, one of the massive refrigerators. The gentleman, good-naturedly, oom- meneed removing the refrigerators,. but his search proved unavailing. Presently he went in search of assist. ante, and returned with a portly gentleman, who was, es nearly as we could gather, the manager of the department. This gentleman threw his dignity to the winds and, getting down on his hands and knees, com- menced a vigorous search for the missing coin. Imagine the lady's • chagrin, the gentleman's disgust, and the bystanders' amusement when the gentleman finally drew from the dust under one of the refrigerators the loot coin, which proved to be a one -cent piece, The lady was pro- fuse in her apologies, which were graciously accepted by her victim. Another clave who we were pleased to see, preserved their equanimity under very trying eircamstances, were the elevator men. More than once, when the elevator was going at a rapid rate, we have seen some unfortunate creature, unused to the rapid transit (and, by the way, generally a man), grab the man at the wheel in such a manner as to utterly disable him for a few mom- enta. The embraces, however, were recetved with unfailing good -humor, although they must have been rather Inconvenient. We must not forget to mention the street car employes Although harassed with enquhioe on every hand, these men preserved an outwardly calm exterior, though inwardly, we have no doubt, they were as ravening wolves. On one occasion the conductor passed his hox to a newly -arrived passenger. He was obliged in so doing to stand in a poaltion from which he was unable to command a view of the passenger. After waiting for what seemed to us, before whom his brawny aria was stretched, an interminable tune, we were all amused to see him lean forward and say, 'Hold on, madam, this box is not for transfers.' The lady had folded up her transfer and was patiently trying to push It inti the hex. But It would take to long to tell you all the funny things we saw and heard, but we are firmly resolved that if we have the pumpkins , threshed in time next year we will ' again take in the glorious exhibition."
