How They Used to Travel.

In the sixteenth year of the reign of Charles H., of England, was established the first turnpike road where toll was taken, which intersected the counties of Hertford, Cambridge and Huntingdon. Until the middle of the eighteenth cen- tury, however, most of the merchandise conveyed from place to place was trans D. rted on pack-horses through short distances. Between distant places 8 cart was used, pack-horse not being able to transport sufficient quantity of goods to pay the cost of the journey. The common carrier between Selkirk and Edinburgh, 8 distance of thirty eight miles, required a fortnight for his journey, going and returning. h 1878 8 coach for passengers between Edinburgh and Glasgow, 8 distance of forty-four miles, was drawn by six horses, and the journey to and fro was completed in six days. In 1750 the coach took thirty-six hours to the jour ney. In 1849 the sane journey was made. by route three miles longer, in one hour and a half.
 In the year 1763 there was but one stage coach between Edinburgh and London. They started once a month from each of these cities. It took a fortnight to perform the journey.
 In 1885 seven coaches started daily between London and Edinburgh, which performed the journey in less than forty eight hours
 In 1763 the number of passengers by the coaches between London and Edin- burgh could not have exceeded about twenty five monthly. In 1885 the coaches conveyed about 40 passengers daily.
 Until the close of the last century the internal transport of goods in Eng land was performed by wagon, and was so expensive as to exclude every object except manufactured articles and such as, being of light weight and small bulk in proportion to their value, would al- low high rate of transport. Thus the charge from London to Leeds was at the rate of e13 ton, being 13 1-2l. per ton per mile. Between Liverpool and Manchester it was 40s. ton, or 15d per ton per mile. Heavy articles, such as coal and other materials, could only be av-ilable for commerce where their position favored transport by sea, and consequently many of the richest dis tricts of the kingdom remained unlro- ductiVe.

Everybody can recall curious disap- pointments in meeting distinguished people, or looking on famous scenes. or tasting pleasures long coveted. Char lotte Bronte was disgusted with Thack- cray, because he eat heartily at dinner.
 An enthusiastic young lady lowered near Mrs Martineau and Mrs. Som merville to catch snatches of high literary con- verse, and heard them talking of bon nets and gowns.
 A large company of clergymen met Archdeacon Paley at dinner, hoping for instruction from his rare learning. The only remark he made during din- ner was on the best method of cook ing p1ums in pudding.
 Lord Macaulay gives comical ac- count of his experience with certain dainties of food. "When was child I had notion of it's being the most ex- quisite of treats to eat plaintains and yams, and to drink palm-wine. l have now enjoyed all, and have found, like much greater men, on more important occasions, that all is vanity. "A plain tain is very like a rotten pear, so like that would lay twenty to one that 8 person blindfolded would not discover the difference. A yam is better. It IS like an indifferent potato. I tried palm-wine at pretty village neav Madras, where spent one night. [ found it very like ginger beer in which the ginger had been sparingly used."
