 Mt. Riga vs Smoking Cars.-MR EDIT oR-Not long since. we were a passenge on one of the numerous railroad train that pass through or near portion of you state. and not having anything iu particu, lar to occupy our attention, we fell to mus ing, and in the course of our cogitations we began to notice that the cars were no more than filled, and that quite a numbe of seats were occupied only by travelini bag and shawl, or perhaps an umbrella 0 some other article of hand baggage. and n' owner appearing to be present, we hegal to look about for an explanation. Soor after leaving station where several gentle men, we noticed that some of them afte securing good seats, deposited some smal article of baggage in them and then wen into the car forward divining their mo tive, we thought we would also go ant take obseryations. We entered what i called smoking car where perhaps a dog en or more gentlemen Were seated, som' smoking. some chewing tobacco, som' engaged in card playing, while others stoot looking idly on. The aroma of the room was anythihg but agreeable; it partooI somewhat of the odor of villainous cigars plug tobacco and vapor arising from pool of stale spit,le On the floor, and ether emi nations, the exact nature of which we wer unable to determine. The room at th same time was literally filled with tobacco smoke, and in this poisonous, delectah
 atmosphere gentlemen were riding and call ing 1t ep]oyment having lett comfortabl seats in the regular passenger coaches t' partake of this abominable luxury. Satis fled with our observations, We made but

Fron the observations taken, we were satisfied on these several points VIZ first that tn two passenger coaches furnished ample ac commodations for all tue passengers ol the train (and upon inquiry we learned tha this WAS the usual number of cars compos ing the regular trains, and the present nun ter of passengers fair representation o the travel on the road. Secondly that tn su oking car was hauled back and forth ol every passenger train on the road for th sole purpose of furnishing accommodation for the smokers and card players. Enter. ing into mathematical calculation, W, determined the fact that just tbiriy-lbre and one third per cent of the expense 0 running that train was incurred by the R R.
