BAGGAGE.--The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is a
noble work, and, in its passage over the AeghaOies
has along its line some very fue natural scenery; but
improvement required in its of the luggage of
its passengers. Several gentlemen who had their
for their destination, found them wanting on arrival,
and had to bear expense trouble and delay before they
were recovered. Another, who had seen his trunk
slowed in the baggage-car was saved from the same
misfortune by friend, who recognized it after it had
been thrown out again. and Insisted on its being
stored to IFS place in the car.
BAD HoTnLs.-Wheelingi is a town of some preten-
sions but it las not hotel fit to stop i'll. There are
two pretty large houses there and the only difference
between them is that one is worse than the other.
Not only they dirty, but shifless. large party,
principally Of NewYorkers, spent the night at one OF
them and, on leaving in the morning. with ride OF
some go miles before them could not get so much as
a CUP Of coffee or q piece Of bread and butter.
CAR VENTILATIOS.-On the Little Miami Railroad,
from Columbus to Cincinnati, we were placed IN car
ventilated by the system invented by DR.. FOote OF
Buffalo mot DIR. L. of THE COmmerctaI). This sys-
TEN consists in large longitudinal archamber under
the car, with grated openings to let air IN through the
floor. Transversey across this air-chamber Is
reservoir of water, with pump on one side OF the
car driven by the wheels, to raise it to the top, so
that it can fall back through passage on the other
side Air is admitted on the top of the car, by the
rapid motion of which it Is forced down along with the
falling water into the airchamber beneath. the water
in its fall is thus converted into shower and the air
is not only deprived of its dust bat perfectly cooled,
aud on the hottest day renders the perfectly agree
able. The side-windows may be partially opened but
the draft is all outward and dust enters. 1t is an
admirable invention, and should be generally applied
We learn that the apparatus costs about $3.50 for a
single car.
DRr.-HaviDg now seen some twenty of the prin-
cpal towns of the Northern States, justice requires us
TO declare that there is not which can compare
with New-York in the astonishing and iudescnbable
thiness Of its streets. This fact must be borne in
upon every returning NewYorker with irresistible
force We live in not only of the largest, but in
the very nastiest city of Christendom.
