had its grades and speciailtieS. Those
who were fortunate enough to secure
the patronage of the great stage lines
were the upper crust, and did not care
for other custom except the more
genteel kind. Then there were the
wagon stands pretty much mOnOpo-
LIKED by the men who drove the great
COnnestOga wagons with their six
powerful horses. As a class they were
pretty rough, some very much so,
Some were well tO-dO farmers good
deal more civil at home than abroad.
Most of them terribly prOfane and
bOisterous, and could almost annih-
late each other with threats and ges-
ticulatlOns. Ola Wise Clemmet and
Henry Poffenberger, when in good
condition were better than Barnums
sideshow, if not the show itself. The
Wagoners who made "trip or two
during the season, and there were
many such, were called "Sharp shoot
ers )" shyesters, as lawyers of i'll re-
pute are called, and how they were
hated and dispiSed by the regulars.
The contempt of a regular army Off
Ger for volunteer is not just com
parisOn. They always carried their
own beds in roll like bundle of
carpet. The bar-roOm floor was their
sleeping place, which was often pack
ed with them like cobble stones in a
street, and woe to the person who
happened to invade their lair. Then
there were the dr0yers' taverns,
preempted by the cowboys and pig
pelterS, who were generally noisy
and loud. mouthed, but manageable
as they were in the most boys. Hotel
rates were moderate, and by no
means uniform. Stage passengers,
who always received the best, were
invariably charged 50 cents per meal.
The morning receipts Of some of these
hotels would be quite large III a cur
rency that would shock business peo-
pie now. Spanish Mexican dollars,
quarters, leUieS and fps by the fist full.
The paper money hardly deserved
the Numerically majority of it was
rank counterfeit, broken banks, or I'M
der par notes. Counterfeit notes were
passed by these innocent receivers
until they became the acquaintance
of everybody, then somebody would
be the loser.
The travel and traffic on the Ma
tiOnal Road was immense up to about
1850, when they were diverted by a
railroad on either side and the con-
sumption of grain, provender and
food products also large, consequent
~ an excellent market at all times
for the producers of these cOmmOdi-
ties, who were prosperous, indus
trious and contented. There were
never happier people than those
who lived on and along this road.
But wall went up when the cruel
railroad innovation came. Ruin and
starvation were in plain view of in
experienced and narrow minds. The
engineers who were scouting on either
flank for locations for the two great
trans. AIlegany trunk roads, were
hated as savages with "paint and
knife" and 10. the change came in
due time, and without harm, but
general good. True, we sometimes
sigh for return of those good old
times" but really would we exchange
what we enjoy for those extincts,
though they are scented with precious
recollectiOns of happy past.
The next communication will be
devoted to particular hotels, and in
diYidual prOprietors.

doubling the number of grains for
each succeeding square, the quantity

the opening the managers have secured
one of the best and strongest attractions
on the road, in the Little Nugget Com
edy Company, supporting the charming
actress and vocalist Miss Josie Sisson,
who will render many of her favorite
songs. This Company recently played a
weeks engagement in Columbus, and
created such a furore that towards the
latter part of the week they were COM
PEELED to stop the sale of tickets to pre-
vent over-crowding the theatre. The
play of Little Nugget is pure comedy
of the modern class. and is full of fun,
music, and strong situations. For synop-
sis of play see small bills.
