her dress catching on FIRE from fluid lamp

TnE CARPET FAC PARrx.

we take the following pithy article from late
number Of the Philadelphia american:
Correspondents of southern papers, writing
from Washington city at the time Of the inaueu-
ration, and few days after, attempt to depreci-
ate the appearance and character Of the great
throngs Of northern men by saying that they had
a lean and hungry look, and we're deficient in
elo'hlng, as they oil carried carpet bags. Onc
correspondent quotes railway baggage master
as saying that there was not more than one trunk
ior hundred passengers. So far rs regards
baggage, this is true. The northern people are
accustomed to travel about three times as much
~ southerners, and as time is valuable to them
.hey cannot cucumber themselves with heavy
baggage. Southerners who were 10 the habit Of
going to Washington, under former administra-
uons, TO get positions, went resolved not to be
refused, and therefore had to carry baggage
enough to provide against oil emergencies We
o. the north are Of more thrifty and business
like turn. The carpet bag is an Institution with
usi and IN the party which the Washingtonians
regarded with so much contempt, according to
these correspondents, were thousands of the most
respectable merchants and other citizens of the
north, men Of means far beyond those who
travelled with so much baggage to bore previous
administrations But were they ever so Door,
what miserable idea this is to be put forth in a
republic. Here is the inauguration of Chief
Magistrate, and the masses of the common people
are supposed by these scribes, to have no inter.
est IN 1t. No one need be ashamed to belong to
the carpet bag industry The carpet bag is the
emblem Of the business man. 1t charaeterizes
thousands who transact the vast commerce be.
tween the interior and the seaboart, carrying on
operations which amount to millions OF dollars
and building up fortunes and trade, palaces anG
cities. before which the region whence come III,
gentlemen with so many trunks must shun com
parisoR. Hitherto the interests Of these mel
have widely separated them from politics. Blu
the dawn of new era brings with 1t conseQuen
ces to them of no ordinary kind. 1t would be
good thing for Washington city lift could Away
, have such class of people visiting it by thou
sands. They would infuse into it new life"
