The denomination of President Har-

a misfortune for the country if the Con-

Early Railway Travelling.

The first regular train service in Eng
land commenced on the Liverpool and
Manchester railway on Friday, Sept. II,
1880, two days after the opening of the
line. It was not on very ambitious
scale; three trains each way on week
days and two on Sundays were deemed
quite sufficient. The novelty of the
thing, however, at first and very soon its
proved safety and efficiency, led at once
to a much larger traffic than had been
anticipated, and as soon as the company
could obtain more rolling stock the SER
vice was increased.
For time people who had ventured
to risk their lives by the new mode of
conveyance were the objects of admira-
ton for their courage or of contempt
for their foolh 7'diness; but one by one
the coaches hau to be taken off theroad,
and everybody went by rail.
The time occupied in the journey was
at first seldom more than two hours and
often less, the distance being thirty-one
miles; but even this rate was too fast
for some people, for a gentleman, writ
ing about six weeks after the opening of
the line, says the speed was too great to
be pleasant and caused him to feel some
what giddy. .-Cornhill Magazine.
