KENSINGTON RAILWAY.
To the Editor.
Sib,—l was pleased to see that one of our Bex (when I say our sex, of course its understood) has bad the courage to write about our xailway management. Why does that horrid manager not put. up a ; board upon the wall of our. station at Kensington ? A washing board would do if he cannot get abetter, and it would suit our purpose just as well as the best railway board in the world; we would also like him to put on a good-looking guard, and to see he is always well provided with small change! For my own part ido not think the manager could do better than to em-, ploy a woman, and I am sure he would not nave much difficulty in finding one. An advertisement posted on the washing-board would procure a few applicants (myself amongst the number); and then what a splendid chance it would be for a clever woman! Why, she might nail the manager himself, and then he, blessed man, would have some one to fight his battles with your fair correspondents. I know that if he were a married man, I, for one, would not dare to write a single word about him. Without presuming to advise the manager, I really think he should consider these suggestions—in short, if he does not, we will make him. Fancy a deputation of twenty or thirty matrons, accompanied by an average of three squalling innocents each, calling upon our gallant Super. Why the amiable man that he is would soon come to terms, and then, perhaps, the manager would feel sorry that he hadn’t hashed up every time-table in his department for our convenience. We don’t want the entire control of the , railway—not by any means, but we would like to have our say in the matter. Dear me I why won’t the men propose ?—I am, &c., Wane Jilson,
