TRAVELLING IN THE UNITED STATES A Hun
DRED YEARS AGO. The American advertisement,
of which we here give literal copy, is deserving
Of preservation on account of the quantness of
the inn signs, the popularity of the spelling and
dicton, the shifting" of the passengers, which it
announces, ahd the general idea it gives us of the
way in which travelling was performed in Ameri-
ca at the time when it was issued
" Philadelphia stage wagon and New York
stage boat performs their Stages twice Week.
John Butler with his Wagon, sets out on Mon
days from his House, at the sign Of the death Of
the Fox, in Strawberry ally, and drives the same
day to Trenton Ferry when Francis Holman meets
him, and proceeds on Tuesday to Brunswick and
the passengers and goods being shifted into the
Wagon of Isaac Fitzrandolph, he takes them to
the New Blazing Star to Jacob Fitzrandolp's
the same day. where Rubin FitzrandOlph with a
boat well suited, will receive them, and take them
to New York that night John Butler return
ing to Philadelphia on Tuesday with the passen-
gers and goods delivered to him by Francis Hol-
man, will again set out for Trenton Ferry on
Thursday, and Francis Holman &c., will carry
his passengers and goods with the same expedi-
ton as above 10 New York.-March IS, 1859.

BE PREPARED.-It is a bad thing to be too
happy; it makes the mind grow fat and lazy.
Griefs capital spring medicine for keeping the
brain healthy and brisk. If misfortune could be
made, like locomotive, to blow whistle before
it rushes upon US, and give us time to clear the
rails then we might sleep securely on our rose
leaves But the sour-faced jade sneaks at our
heels, pouncing upon US, we trot along, singing
She Is policeman in plain clothes, with an UNI
brella in his hand but the rattle and staff in his
pocket. Fortfy yourselves with course of mild
persecution train for the great combat, that when
the pummeling begins, you may suffer with a
pleasant smile and engaging manner. Accept ac-
commodation bills, and be sued on them and on
the day the bank breaks, the shock will be con-
siderably eased. The man who has roared with
the gout thinks groaning with rheumatism an a
greeable change of PAIN Welcome Guest

A SIMPLE word of explanation would often save
a deal of bad feelings and ugly thoughts.

Price of Justice in Russia.

1t was some time before we were so far righted
as to be able to go on, and then, when we were
making up lost time, and overlook sour friends
with their sledges, numbering probably a hun
dred, in a long line on one solitary track, it be-
came necessary to pass them if we would not be
kept at snail's pace for many hours. But the
passing was not easy. The whole line must draw
close to one side, and in some cases into the
snow, and this the men for long time refused to
do. 1t was difficult job involving risks to some,
and the road was theirs as we'll as ours. The
Russian baron, who was one Of us, at length lost
all temper and began to swear as only Russian
can. Being cold and hungry, exhausted and
much shaken, he was anxious to get some shell
ter, especially as night was now closing. Oaths
having no effect, he lost the last glimmer of pol
ish, and came out the born Tartar that he was.
Dragging the cudgel from my hand, he began be
laboring with all his might the men and horses,
dealing blows right and left, and compelling the
men to draw up to one side as fast as we came
up. For an hour this lasted before we had
passed all the sledges.
"There, you canaile !" be cried as he struck
"Take that Give the road, you lazy vermin
Make room you pigs I am baron; don't you
see? A friend of the governors Sons of dogs!
Defilement OF the earth Your mothers are
beasts p and so forth
This was his gentlest style while the blows fell
in a shower. Forty or fifty men submitted to
all this but cowed; they took the blows and in
suits of this one man as dogs take their masters
kicks. They were serfs; he was baron.
After he had recovered his seat and his BREATH
and had wiped the perspiration from his head, he
turned to me and asked, with an air of national
pride, What do you say to that, my lord ?"
81 say that had you struck the poorest of my
countrymen in that manner, they would either
have boxed you into jelly, or they would have
tied you to a sledge until they reached the first
town. and then given you up to magistrate for
an assault" "Oh, as to that, should soon get
away from magistrate. A little money would
soon do that"
"Indeed can tell you that your whole es-
tate, with dozen like it, would not buy one of
our magistrates"
This assertion only caused an incredulous
laugh, and remark from the baron that he could
buy any country magistrate in Russia for 80 ko-
pecks lis 6d)-.4H the Year Round,

It is remarkable fact, that In spite Of the
hostility Of our armies to the negroes, nearly
all our reliable Information of the enemy has
been brought By them It Is evident, also,
that the Ignorance Of the positions and num-
bcrs Of the enemy, with which our generals
have carried on this war, is due to their neg
1cct Of this means Of information. The idea
can hardly be avoided, that some Of our re-
pulses and surprises, and our delays and inac-
lion from exaggera1ing the force, fntrench-
men1s and guns Of the enemy, might have
been avoided if CUR generals hsd used the
means Of information which were ready to
their bands.
While We exclude information, the enemy s
army approach within bearing Of our un-
guarded ca1np, and there bivouac for the
night, and falls upon our surprised troops in
The morning. Shutting ont intelligence, our
genernls are blind1y guessing whether the en-
my is cyacuating, Or is heavily augmeuting
his force. The armies Of different nations
contrive to keep accurately informed of the
movements of the hostile force Our gener.
ais in their Own country, contriyc to be en-.
tirely ignorant Of the enemy. Yet they might
be as well informed Of the enemy IS the enc
nv ia of our army
