ENGLAND HAS CHANGED!
The poor man in England who, forty years ago, had ever left his home was some, what of a prodig}’; now nearly half of his sub, stance goes in excursion fares. A dissent, ing minister used be an object of abhorrence and contempt; now he is quoted in Parliament by politicians. A lord used to be an. object of dread and reverence ; now lie is hardly better than a foreign count. In the England that X remember third class passengers on the then newly-built railroads stood in boxes like cattle; now they sit op cushioned seats, the third class cars being so like the first class that the gentry have t;iken largely to using them.—E- L. Godkin, in the 'New York Evening Post.’
