TRAVELLING In 100.

From an illustrated paper,on" Social
Life in the Colonies" /" by Edward Egg
gleston, in the July Century, we quote
the following: 1.-The Virginia planter
of the richer sort, who was said to
live with more show and luxury than
country gentleman in England on
an estate of three or four thousand
pounds year. showed strong lik-
ing for the stately six-horse coach,
with positions but it was not until
1920 that wheeled carriages were rec
ognized in the legal price-list of the
Virginia ferries. In the other colo
MES, also, the coach was valued as a
sign of official or family dignity, and
some of the richer Carolinians car
rled 'their luxury so far as to have
carriages, horses, coachmen, and all,
imported from England but in Car
olina, and everywhere north of Vir-
ginia, the light open 'chair' or the
covered chaise was generally prefer
red. These were better suited to the
roughness and sinuosity of the roads
than the coach. The chaise was
kind of two-wheeled gig, having
top, and drawn sometimes by one,
and sometimes by two horses; the
chair had two wheels, but no top !;
the sulky, which was much used, diff
fered from the chair chiefly in having
room for but one person. All these
seem to have been hung on straps,
or thorough braces. instead of springs.
Boston ladies in the middle of the
eighteenth century took the air in
chaises or chairs, with negro drivers.
Boston gentlemen also affected negro
attendants when they drove their
chairs or rode on saddle-horses. But
in rural regions, from Pennsylvania
northward, ladies took delight in driv-
ing about alone in open chairs, to the
amusement of European travellers,
who deemed that paradise in which
women could travel without protec-
ton. Philadelphians were fond of a
long, light. covered wagon, with
benches, which would carry dozen
persons in an excursion to the coun-
try. Sedan chairs were occasionally
used in the cities. The Dutch intro
duced sleighs in New York at very
early date; but sleighs for pleasure,
though known in Boston about 100,
only came in general use in the north
ern provinces at a somewhat later Pc
Rod. The first stage wagon in the
colonies was run from Trenton to
New Brunswick, twice a week, dur
ing the summer of 1873. 1t was 8
link in the tedious land and water
journey from Philadelphia to New
York, and travellers were promised
that it would be fitted up with bench
es, and covered over, SO that pass
engers may sit easy and dry

A prominent divine who was to Of

just as the bridal party entered, with
the hymn beginning, "Come on, my

PRINCE DE JOINVILLE AT
SAVAGES STATION.

From General W. B. Franklin's ac-
count of "Rear-Guard Fighting at
Savage's Station" in July Century,
we quote the following: GA short
time after I separated from General
Mcclellan Gas mentioned above) at
the junction of the Charles City and
Quaker roads, I bade farewell to the
Prince De Joinville, who told me that
be and his nephews were about to
leave us and return to Europe. He
had always been very friendly, and
now expressed many good wishes for
my future. Holding my hand in his,
he said with great earnestness, Gen
elal, advise General Mcclellan to
concentrate his army at this point,
and fight a battle to-day; if he does,
he will be in Richmond tomorrow.
| was much impressed by his manner
and by what he said, and from the
purely military point of view the adj
vice may have been good. But it was
impracticable for me to adopt the
suggestion. General Mcclellan was
then well on his way to the James
River, and [ had no right to leave
my command. 1t was impossible to
concentrate the army there that day
early enough to give battle, and had
it been possible to risk general en-
gagement there, it would have been
contrary to General Mcclellan s
views as to his responsibility connect
ed with the safety of the army, views
which were actuating him in the very
movement then taking place. 1t is
likely from what we know now, that
had it been possible to follow the
Princes advice, his military forecast
might have proved correct. But no
one at that hour could have predicted
the paralysis of Jackson's large force
in our rear for the whole of that day,
nor General Lees ignorance of Nc
Clellan's intentions. Had a general
engagement taken place, and had we
been defeated, the army would have
reached the James River, it is true,
but instead of getting there as it did,
with it's morale unharmed, and with
slight damage to its men and materi-
al, it would have been disorganized
mob, and as an army would have per-
ished miserahly. General Mcclellan
believed that the destruction of the
Army of the Potomac at that time
would have been ruin to our cause,
and his actions, for which he alone is
responsible, were guided by that be-
lief, and by the conviction that at
any sacrifice, the preservation of the
army, at that time, was paramount

Sam Jones, the rival orator of the
south, is continually adding to his
quaint and racy displays of elo-
quence. He talked to a convention
in Atlanta the other day iu this style:
You don't want to have a fuss.

cry good man breads fuss, but he
don't fear anything that walks on the
earth. [Cheers. The church lays
back on the idea that it must have
peace. Old Joshua went out one
day and fought all day long. He
was crowding the enemy, when he
looked up and saw the sun going
down. He said: "Lord, if you will
just give me three or four more hours
of sunshine, I'll clean these fellows
off the face of the EARTH" And the
Lord just made that old sun rack
back on the dial, and Joshua won a
victory, the fame of which has lasted
until this day. Great Cheering.

HOW GENERAL BRAGG QUAR-
RELIED WITH HIMSELF.

I have heard a good story in
the old army very characteristic of
Bragg. On one occasion, when sta
toned at post of several companies,
commanded by field officer, he was
himself commanding one of the COM
panies, and at the same time acting
post quartermaster and commissary.
He was first lieutenant at the time,
but his captain was detached on 9th
er duty. AS commander of the COM
pany he made requisition upon the
Quartermaster-hi - for some
thing he wanted. AS quartermaster,
he declined to fill the requisition,
and endorsed on the back of it his
reasons for so doing. AS company
commander he responded to this, urg-
ing that his requisition called for
nothing but what he was entitled to,
and that it was the duty of the quar-
termaster to fill it. The quartermas-
ter still persisted that he was right.
In this condition of affairs Bragg re-
ferred the whole matter to the COM
manding officer. The latter when he
saw the nature of the matter refer
red, exclaimed, "My God, Mr..
Bragg, you have quarrelled with ev-
cry officer in the army, and now
you're quarrelling with yourself"

Mr.. Plummer lived but short dis
tance from the river. His house, a
rude structure, was made of cedar
logs. He said that his wife and child
years ago had been drowned in an
overflow. Since then he had lived
alone. The first morning after my
arrival he went out and killed me a
mess of squirrels. 1t seemed as tho
he could not do enough for me. He
explained how he cut cedar timber
and RATED down the river. / asked
him if he didn't know that he was Vi
olating the law. He replied with a
sharp satire on the human family:

said. "When a man cusses, he vio-

man gifts mad, he violates the law OF

A correspondent asks why we are
opposed to the national banking
system and why the: perpetuation OF
the public debt will be q benefit to
the national banks. The debt isssthe
basis OF the national banking system.
Take away the debt and we destroy
the system. We can never pay the
debt while VIC maintain that system
and, therefore, II we maintain It We
must always have public debt, and
the people must pay interest on it to
sustain il for the benefit Of the stock
holders OF national banks.
Our correspondent asks what sys-
tenn we would have? Precisely the
same system we have now, except
the banks. The government now
prints and issues every note In cir
culation, and guarantees its redemp-
ton. That is all that makes q ma
tional bank note any better than the
old state banks. But besides doing
that, the government pays interest
Oh the bOEds which the banks depOs-
it with it Us collateral. Why no. pay
of these bonds with the money that
the government issues anyhow, and
stop interest? Have NO banks ex-
cept banks OF deposit. In addition
the banks now have entire control
OF tho circulating medium. They car
decrease 1t at will, aud have done sc
whenever they have became offend
ed at the government; and this pow
er gives them unrestricted opportun.
ity to increase the rate OF interest
and in fact to ruin all the business
Of the country. No such power should
be placed in the hands OF any set Of
