CARPETN.

= B. MARTIN q CO.
If you would step into the
upholstering room on the third
floor OF the store you would
meet, ten hours in the day and
oftentines in the evening, a
busy throng of workpeoplc.
This has been the busiest Janu-
ary in our carpet business since
the stores birth, and all the car.
pets sold and to be laid by US
are taken up to this room and
prepared. We are sorry to
make this assertion, neverthe-
less it is a positive fact, that
there are parlors in this city,
containing the finest quality OF
carpets, that have been fitted
and laid down by people who
have never learned the
trade, not even served an ap.
premiership, and the result can
be seen in ridges at the seams,
the ill.ftting border especially
at the fireplace and bay win
dow, the heavy cross joins, the
reversal of the nap, &c. Our
head upholsterer is the highest
salaried nan in the store, and
his duty consists Of matching
the carpet and border to its best
advantage, so that the customer
is not compelled to pay for
extra waste I; after that, to mitre
the border correctly and then
to distribute the sizing on back
OF carpet so that when laid 1t
does not wrinkle. The carpet
then goes to the sewers, and a
complicated iitde- sewing ma
chine, by the way the only one
in this city, is run along the
seams and does the work quick.
ly and thoroughly, completely
outdoing hand sewing. This
patented carpet sewer has been
adopted by all the largest car.
pet houses throughoutthe coun.
try. Next appearance of the
carpet is at the customers
house in charge Of the carpe,
layers. The first thing these in
dustrious people do is to empty
a paper Of carpet tacks In theil
mouths, and the lightning rapid
ity a tack is plucked from the
mouth, stuck into a carpet and
driven home with a hammer Is
a modern wonder. Tap, tap
tap, all around the room. and
when the job is completed there
is not a show for a word of com.
plant. No puffs here and no
puffs there, no nap reversed,
not drawn too tightly, but per.
feet. The carpet has gone
through the hands of thorough
mechanics, from the fitting to
the laying, and perfection must
be the result.

MIR. THOMAS U ZIMMERMAN, editor Ol
the Reading Times, has produced an en-
tirsly new transiAtion OF Schiller's soug OF
the Boil. 1t WAS read by Mayor Kenney
at the Harmonic Mennsrchor entertain
ment In Reading, and published for the
first tmo in tho Rslding 1Smes and Dis
patch on Thursday. Mr.. VIM. RosenthsI,
after reviewing foundations BY Dr.. Furness,
Sir, Bulwer l.ytton, Elliot and other IN
pous writers, said "It has been well ss,d,
inst an English Schiller himself would moi
DO able to do full Justice to the German
original Oft tho Bell In the English language.
When /, in face OF oil these celebrated
translations, emphatioally express my own
opinion that Thomss q. Zlmmerman's
work Is not excelled by any one
30 far rendered, aud II superior In
many fiae points, l assure you, that Il ID
not personal admiration, but true con.
viction, that prompts me 10 proclaim this
my judgment from this stand. 1t 10 an
entirely Inew and original work It is, In itu
metrcai adaptation TO the original poem,
almost perfect; Its poetioal form and ex-
preston ia chAste. true and lofty, aud tie
co.emporaueous surroundings of Q century

would rt ieot, have diligently been osrch cd,
and thus enabled the author to present Q
more faithful adherence to the German
original than most of his CO. translstols
have succseded In doing"
Introduced with this warm praise the
translation commands the attention OF Gil
lovers OF poetry, snd ~ reproducing with
accuracy and iorcs the poetic thought of
schiller's masterpiece, II II . notable work.
In the minds OF great many however the
only right Of poetry to exist depends upon
the melody OF the language used and 1t
has been found almost impossible for even
the greatest poets TO translate poem with
exact adherence to the thought and an
equal care for the sound effect IL has been
said that Lnngfellow sacrificed sense to
sound, and Zimmerman may be taxed with
the smaller fault OF reversing the sscrifce
and preserving the vlgor and beauty OF the
thought II the English language cannot
accommodate itself 70 Schiller 90 much the
worse Tor the language. In many passages,
