*^Fhe question naturally rirbse,'-where do they come from, aud an examination 'of the register, although it gave the residences, of all, failed, satisfactorily, to answer the enquiry. Then we thought .of the mobile disposition of the, human Tace irt general and of the Anglo American, in particular. Next we contrasted in our mind, tb'fc present generation with the past, and involuntarily spoiled, or «eemed. to smile as we thought of the .rush made by the ubi qui

toil', and rfe-

jtean host of the, then existing, onektrse hotels, upon the arival of the "mud waggon" or mail coach, 36 hours out from ludiAnapolis, iahdas many or more •'hours fromjLafayette .or .Vincennes, fringing tho la tost news,« then a week old^-And fes im Agination, we followed the bustling Landlord, through all Ins vAHoUs duties and changes, as "my very obsequious host" cleric, waiter and hbstleiy we imagined we-colild see a slight shade of difference between then and now. And after wewent home and sqt us down in-our substitute for an "e^sy chair,,'i we suffered our mind to^wander iuto the future and wondered if the next generation would smile at our old foggyism as wo do at that of the generation that is past. Would there be any method .then of more nearly annihilating space and time, Would there be any bigger hotels, any more enterprising landlords, or polite clerks, any faster Young America*, or any more rapid methods for making and wasting money, and we finely came to the sage conclusion, that we would not venture •an opinion—butpatiently-rr-ifwe can?— watt and see.
