put them, and that it is careless Tor a
baby carriage manufacturer to use
any fabric for upholstering OF which
he does not know the chemical COM
position. He says, moreover, that
the cloths spoken Of are designed to
be impervious to water, and that IN
order to keep them SO and make them
retain their elasticity, a certain
amount of white lead must be used
in the manufacture. To the question
as to whether similar complaints had
been made before, he replied: Com
plants have been made, both as to
the poisoned oil-cloths and dangerous
dyes, but to my mind accidents arise
from these sources only when those
who use the goods divert them--usu-
ally from motives of economy-from
the uses for which they were manu-
featured. Children's carriages should
be covered and lined only with leath'
er or plain vanished cloths. These
are not only wholesome, but are pre-

THE RAILROAD.

We had occasion on Tuesday, while
in New Orleans, to call on Col. Whee-
lock, at his office. He was just in re-
ceipt of aletter from one OF his frlends
in West Baton Rouge, containing, In
an Advocate slip, the interviews
which the representative of that paper
had with a number of our prominent
citizens, a few days ago.
Col. Wheelock expressed his sur
prise at the Indifference Of the cltl-
zens in regard to the location OF the
depot of the Branch Road. He
thought that they would surely be
pleased to have railroad competition
established IN Baton Rouge, in both
freights and passengers, against the
steamboats,, as the town could not
bat be the winner thereby.
Those expressions from gentlemen
whose names were prominently asso-
ciated with the Capital City, had I'M
messed him with the belief that the
depot was not wanted on the Baton
{ Rouge side of the river. After the
hot and costly fight made against his
road in West Baton Rouge, he didn't
feel like engaging in another on this
side. He had therefore ordered the
suspension of the contract for build
ing the transfer boat, which would
cost $65,0O0.
OF course, he added, if Baton Rouge
won't facilitate us, we have but one
thing to do, and that is to establish
our permanent depot across the rlv
er. By constructing the necessar!
wharves, the steamboats,, mail boats
etc., will come to transact their ou
siness with us there as they woul'
elsewhere. He couldn't we'll under
stand why the coal yard objected t
having the railroad and transfer boat
l near them, where they might be dali
purchasers. Then the employees an
laborers about the depots and trans
fer boat would necessarily spen
u their wages where they resided. Sure
. ly Baton Rouge would not wish
give that to the opposite shore.
