RICHARD ADAMS New BAKERY. We
were greatly pleased to-day to find SO
much interest felt in the Inauguration of
Mr.. Adams's new bakery. Some hundreds
of persons called to examine the new ma
chinery and partake of the bountiful colla-
tion there supplied. The bakery. with its
new outfit, is capable Of converting eighty
barrels of -four daily into bread. The
reel or revolving oven is the peculiar fea-
ture, and is designed especially for baking
crackers and other light work. This oven
revolves vertically in heated apartment,
and bakes rapidly and evenly in manner
to captivate the cooks. Mr.. Adams de-
serves liberal patronage for his energy
and enterprise in bringing new and expen-
sive machinery to bear upon this branch
Of production. We trust he will meet
with the success he deserves. The new
bakery is on Twelfth street, between Main
and Cary.

About Carpet.Raggers.

General Blair uttered on Monday in the
Senate another of his yells against "carpet-
baggers."
He ought not to make himself so dis
agreeable to his party friends. How does
he suppose his insulting remarks affect
Mr.. S. Cox, who brought his little
carpet-bag all the way from Ohio to this
city, and at once went to Congress from
New York f?
1t is not fair or right that the "harmon-
ious Democracy" should thus hurt each
others feelings. We might make out a
long list of Democratic carpet-baggers, but
the instance we have mentioned will, we
trust, suffice to show Mr.. Blair that he
does wrong.
Besides, what is he but carpet bagger
himself? He was not born in Missouri; !;
he did not pass his youth there; he is only
carpet-bagger. And no doubt there are
thousands of Missourians who think just
as little of him as he does of Mr.. Cox or
any other carpet bagger
To US this foolish talk about carpet
baggers seems thoroughly un-American.
This country was settled by people who
brought their carpet-bags and very little
else from Europe. The West was in like
manner settled by people from the East
ern States The migration between the
States shows how active has been ths
movement Of population and this free
dom of movement has been main
source of our rapid increase in wealth
and culture. General Blair ought to
be above such narrow minded notions
as those he now speaks out 10 the
Senate. He was once capable of better
things and if be cannot discuss principles
without importing into his speeches the
bitterness of sectional prejudices, and what
is even worse and narrower, prejudices of
birth and antecedents, he had better, for
the credit of the name he bears, remain si-
lent. What would General B!air's father
have said had any one stigmatized General
jackson as a carpet-bagger Yet be was
literally that. John A. Quitman, great
Democratic light, was carpet-bagger
from New York to Mississippi. Henry
Clay was carpet-bagger.- = Chronicle.

LITERARY REUNION AT HON. HoRATIo
KING's--AN INTERESTING DIssERTA-
TIoN ON THE FINE ARTS.

TO the Editor of the Chronicle.
No finer entertainment has been offered
this season than the one given by Hon.
Horatio King, on Saturday evening last,
to those attendant on his literary reunions.
Although the night was inclement, yet
goodly. number of scientific and literary
people braved the elements and were amply
repaid. Mr.. Kaufman, our we'll known
artist, gave dissertation on art. An ar tist
in theory as well as practice, conversant
with all the principles and history of art,
raised in its lest schools, and enjoying a
wide celebrity both at home and abroad,
with keen observational powers, it required
no stretch of the imagination 10 believe
nothing but an instructive, entertaining
lecture would be given. Mr.. Kaufman,
although German, and not yet thorough
ly master of our language, made use of
fine expressions and choice words that
served to give zest to the entertainment by
the pronunciation not thoroughly Anglo
cised
Mr.. Kaufman commenced by saying
there was really no such thing as distinct
American art. Although we have Ameri-
can artists, yet their works are only a
reflex of old European art. He contended
that art has as yet absolutely no place in
the great processes Of our public life.
He spoke of the works of the so-called
cold masters" and characterized them as
"blackened pieces of old canvas, with
awkward figures thereon" that no one
would pay single dollar for. Leaving
the name, cold masters" be spoke of his
early experience among European artists,
where be had found the same hypocrisy in
art. He said that no particular training
was necessary for thorough appreciation
of art, but to judge of it only the faculties
fostered by ordinary education are required.
He spoke of the age of Raphael when art
had reached its highest perfection, as ex-
hibited in the Madonna" and closed by
proving that art and general development
were coeval The whole essay was char
acterized by terseness and force, and was a
happy effort, both as regards composition
and delivery.
Captain Almont Barnes followed in some
recitations, loriginal.) HIS poems, "Vic-
toria, my Queen" "Infelx," and "Little
Maud" were exceedingly well received.
Captain Barnes, although contributing to
Harper, Scribner, the Galaxy, and other of
our best periodicals, is almost unknown to
the public as poet, for his contributions
never appear over bis own name. His
poem "Anchises to Venus" published some
years since in the Home Journal, N P.
Willis declared ''one of the finest poems of
our day. Classic in style, yet appealing

Gently purchased in Philadelphia, was
tested on Bollingbrook street yesterday
afternoon. The trial was witnessed by a
large number Of citizens, including the fire
COMMITTEES and several members of the
council. An inch and a quarter stream
was thrown over 200 feet, with only fifty
pounds. of steam. The trial was perfectly
satiss fory.
During the trial of the engine, Hamlin

struck by the stream with such force as to
carry him forward about ten feet, severely
bruising his face and injuring his left eye
to such an extent as to tenn porariy de-
prive him of its sight.

"The Virginians.v

Thackeray, who wrote so genially of
our Revolutionary times, ought to be lv-
ing to describe the thrilling scene last
night at the Continental hotel, when Penn
sylvania welcomed Virginia to Philadel-
phia. No other pen could do justice to
the event. Our regret is not less sincere
that the people of the whole country could
not have heard what was so well and SO
heartily said by our Southern guests.
They were the masters of the evening
The programme was their own, and never
before was the reputation of the Old Do
minion for eloquence SO successfully sus-
tanned. Mayor Fox presided with dignity
and tact, aided by State Senator Roller, of
the Virginia Legislature.
What was said by the four leading
speakers selected by our friends is else
where summarized. We wish it could
have been deliberately reported No words
would 60 more directly to the heart of the
country The sentiment of devotion to
the American Union and to its perpetu-
ity, spoken by Southern men with all their
fascinating rhetoric, and spoken without
reference to the recent and the bitter past,
was taken up by the Northern men with
an enthusiasm that sealed the all-pervad-
ing fraternity of the evening. Apart from
the mere sentiment of the occasion was
the practical lesson read and recognized by
our Southern visitors in their survey of
Philadelphia.
They saw for themselves the amazing
growth of the mechanic arts 10 this city.
They had Just seen the power of the Penn
sylvania Central in pushing forth its resist
less branches into the South. They had
visited our vast manufacturing hives, and
had weighed the tremendous fact that the
products of these establishments amounted
to three hundred and twenty millions
year. They had realized the other fact
that there are $50 miles of total railroad
tracks in this State, with nearly 400
miles of tributary roads partly inside of our
borders.
The example is equal. They teach us
lesson of rare magnanmity, and we re-
veal to them not merely reciprocal feel
ing, but harvest of home work, industry
and prosperity.
And SO Virginia leads the way for the
celebration of the Hundredth Anniversary
of the Independence which she boldly in-
augurated aud bravely persevered in. She
has lost nothing of pride. Her sons were
asked and received as equals. They were
entertained as brothers. They will ever
be remembered with affection. ~ PhiiadeL-

ONE of the tricks by which rogues rob
the people, is the locking up of currency,
whereby prices are suddenly and violently
changed, and the rogues aforesaid fill their
pockets out of the peoples The New
York Mercantile Journal another long,
time supporter Of the interchangeabiity of
bonds and greenbacks, which is embodied
in the currency bill introduced by General
Butler, claims that the passage Of the bill
will check all this, by allowing the people
themselves to expend or contract the cur
rency according to the needs Of trade.

SILK CULTURE.

Among the many future industries of
this State which must be in time properly
developed, we may be allowed to men
tion that of silk culture as one which Is
destined to be not only prominent, but ben
eficial and lucrative, in commercial way
besides opening up channels of labor here
tofore neglected.
In and around our city the ailanthus
tree fourshes In profusion, and the cynthia
worm can be raised by thousands and mil
lions, and as there is market in New
York for the cocoons, at cash prices, we
can see no reason why they should not be
extensively cultivated. They are hardy and
require little or no care. The only ex-
pense is the planting of few trees, and
the netting to cover the trees to protect
them from the birds. Hundreds and
thousands OF women and children can
make this lucrative pursuit, and as 1t
only occupies the summer months, make a
purse for themselves to keep want from
the door In winter.
1t is an industry of vast Importance to
the South, where SO many facilities arc
offered, and where nature has done so
much. 1t is a necessary industry, for it
will give employment to hundreds of poor
people, who will find 1t remunerative. 1t
Is pursuit which should be fostered and
encouraged by the Legislature. An ap-
preparation should be made to distribute
the eggs through the country. and thus
help to build up this important branch OF
domestic industry.
Mr.. Warren, New York correspondent
of the Land and Water, and member OF
the Silk Supply Association of London, Is
In the city, and if invited by our citizens,
would address them upon this subject.
He has extensive collections of cocoons
and silk, and drawings of the growth
of the worm in all its stages.

HarYietoaon-W think it but Just and
due to the good people of the thriving little
village of Harvietown, formerly known as
Camp jackson and Camp Grant, to call espe-
cial and immediate attention to an open and
exposed well, perhaps forty to sixty feet deep,
where all of the neighborhood children are
being educated. This well should be covered
over or filled up at once, before some of the
children are plunged to the bottom, without
the possibility of being extricated in time to
save life. Will Mr.. John Perry, or some other
interested party, see to this? This well is near

The Old Blues Reorganized. The meet
ing last night at ST. Adams hall, resulted in
reorganization of this ancient and popular
corps the pride and boast of the city. The
venerable General William II. Richardson was
present and took an active part in the proceed
ings. A committee was appointed to wait on
the Governor to acquaint him of the organizs-
tion, and procure commissions for the officers,
viz: Charles Purcell Bigger, captain; E. j.
Levy, first lieutenant; George W. Jarvis,
senior second lieutenant, and Robert J. Nc
Dowell. junior second lieutenant. Only por-
ton of the non-commissioned officers were
elected last night. DIR. G. w. @. Brock was
elected surgeon.
We understand at the coming anniversary
Of the company, the 10th of May next, it is
expected that the Blues will parade in uniform,
and it is hoped that the Governor will be en-
abled ere that time to supply them with arms
and equipments.
Now let all our former crack companies fo-
low the example of the Blues, and our city
will have regiment of which the State will
feel proud.
