ABOUT BAaoAGE.-Every traveller knows some
thing of the annoyance and perplexty there is often
experienced in having to take care Of baggage and
more especially when the individual has under his
care halt dozen lies and their trunks, band box
es, sc. This department is now reduced to such
system that on most of the eastern rail roads and
steamboats, oil that now to be done is to secure
checks on depositing the baggage, and at the end
of the Journey hand the checks to some accredited
baggage master; take his card and inform him
where you want it sent; and when you arrive at
your hotel you will frequently find that your bag
gage has preceded you and is already in the room
assigned for your accommodation. Perhaps
twenty-five or thirty-seven cents may be charged
in your bill extra, but who would grudge such q
trife for SO great an accommodation. In this way
person may have dozen articles, and Fl ON the
time he first receives his checks until he reaches
the end of the line in which he is travelling, his
resting place, he need have no apprehensions for
the safety of his baggage.
QUESTION FOR LAwYERs.-Suppose the fugi-
tive slave law Of 1850 repeats the law Of 1898,
we suppose it does. The constitution EXPIRE sly
prohibits post fdcto laws. Can the present law,
then. require the delivering up of fugitives who
escaped previous to the enactment of the present
lawP Ifit does, why should it not be viewed as
an er post tacto law?
