Travel in Old Times.

Recent chronicles of rapid transit by
our magnificent ocean steamers are in
wonderful contrast to what is related of
a Major Langbourn, aid-de-camp to the
Marquis de la Fayette, who had for his
amusement, being an American gentle
man of fortune, travelled on foot through
Great Britain, Lapland and Russia, and
intended continuing his travels in the
same way through Germany, Italy and
Turkey, and returning to England to
take his passage to America, which he
imagined would occupy him ten years to
accomplish! He is said to have met with
many hardships and had escaped from
many perils of which he did not like tc
speak. He was accompanied by faith
full travelling companions dog-and for
his available accouterments had pocket
compass, Ratchet, a pair of pistols,
sword and one shirt in his bag with
which to change that on his back -Bos-
