taken the place of wheat, rye bread is
staple article of diet. Baked beans are
about as popular as ever, in the rural
districts, and are likely to hold their
own with the coming generations. But

Old Times In the West.

Brought up on the banks of the Mo-
nongahela River, in Western Pennsyl-
vanla, l remember when Ohio was q
frontier state, writes q correspondent of
the New York Times. Among nv ear
lest recollectjcns are those of the stage
coaches of Stockton and Stokes on the
old national turnpike, being the express
line between Baltimore and the west
southwest. Trains of the white-covered
emigrant wagons en- route to Ohio and
Indiana were never out of sight Later
| remember wildly what a Juror the
accounts of tho wonderful fertility of
the prairies of Illinois created and the
exodus OF settlers from Western Penn
sylvanis. A few short intervening years,
still mere boy, [ iourneyed on horse
back from the Monongahela to the banks
of the Illinois River, bearing on my per-
son the money to pay for three hundred
head of cattle. The money was in bills
of the Monongahela bank, of Browns
vile, and the Farmers and Drovers'
bank, of Waynesburg, Pa. The issues of
those banks were current in Illinois
when the bills of Eastern banks, and of
all but one bank in P1ttsburg were at dis
count. At Wheeling, W. Va, / secured
Ohio bank notes to pay my way across
the state, and repeated the exchange
for Indiana. Thank Coz, the day of
wildcat banks is gone. The three hun
dred head of cattle had been fed on the
cheap Illinois corn then often used as
fuel by the farmers of the prairie coun.
try, and were driven to Philadelphia
From the time the grass was, as the
farmers used to say, knee high to a
duck in the early spring, till late in
the fall when the corn was ripe, droves
