"" Dlckenw' Trip by itngeconch From Cleveland to Sandaaky. When Charles Dickens visited America In 1342, he traveled by stagecoach from Cleveland to Sandusky, O. Describing his experience, he wrote: "At one time we were all thrown together In a heap at the bottom of the conch, nnd at another we were crushing our heads against the roof. Now the coach was lying on the tnils of the two wheelers, nnd now It was rearing up In the air. The driver, who certainly got over the ground in u manner quite miraculous, so twisted nnd turned the team in forcing a pussage corkscrew fashion through the hogs nnd , swnmps that it was a common clrcum- , stance on looking out of the window to see tho coachman with the ends of a pair of reins in his hands, apparently driving nothing, nnd the leaders staring unexpectedly at one from the back of the coach, as If they had some idea of getting up behind. "A great portion of the way wns over Wlint is called n 'corduroy road,' which Is ninde by throwing trunks of trees Into a marsh nnd leaving them to settle there. The very slightest of the jolts with which the ponderous carriage fell from log to log was enough, It seemed, to have dislocated all tho bones in the human body. It would be Impossible to experience a similar set of sensations in any other circumstances unless perhaps in attempting to go up to tho top of St. Paul's in an omnibus." This description serves to illustrate the condition of our country ronds, generally speaking, as they were half a century ago except in a few wealthy communities. There has been a wonderful change since then. Mo Call For Lelaaro. "What, you bock to work, Pete? When 1 saw you fall off the building yesterday, I never expected to see you worjt ngnlu."

Fond Rcrollrctloni of tlio Day* ot in? norcnke nnd Klnpjnclts. With pood meal nnd n cook following the lessons nnd traditions of the old regime delicious bread may be bnked of lndinn meal. But we have grave doubts whether It can be bnked as well In a stove as In an open fireplace; but, alas, of the latter only n few remain. The ashenke, of course, must have nshes. They are Indispensable. As well try to produce a mint julep without mint. On the other hand, "flapJacks" need only a well greased frying pan, but skill is required to turn them. That Is done by pitching them out of the pan Into the nlr nnd making thorn come down flap on the other side. The corn pone may be cooked in a stove or range. The hoeenkc was originally cooked on a hoe in the fields and in the negro cabin. A skillet will do well enough for it, but must be well greased at the bottom. So, too, with respect to egg or batter bread. As for corn mufilns, the appliances of a range arc admirably adapted to them. Wo wish some millionaire would fit up n Virginia country home in antebellum style nnd among other things have In it a big open fireplace, a black cook in a gingham dress, with a red bandanna on her head, nnd qjso have a half here mint bed, an icehouse and an old time garden filled with raspberries nnd gooseberries, thyme, Bage, currants nnd all the ordinary table vegetables. When one of those old time homes and gardens nnd kitchens is restored nnd the host nnd hostess have entered Into possession, we desire to be listed as a frequent guest, with a reserved sent in the chimney corner. Then all we shall want will be tlie zest, the appetite, the voraciousness we possessed when we could eat eighteen rolls nnd six eggs for breakfast and consume a whole wntermelon between inenls. But, nlns, It would be easier to restore old walls nnd open fireplaces than to bring back the digestion and storago capacity of n youth that's gone, of a time that's pnBi ana never can return.?illcbmoud Dispatch.
