The Smoking-Car and the Hog-Pen

By Editor

The Boston Transcript says: "There may be filthier places than the American smoking-car, but it has not been our ill fortune to find them." Our experience has not been identical with that of the editor of the Transcript; we have seen some hog-pens that were even worse than any smoking-car we ever saw. They were very few, however. But then farmers take better care of their hogs than they used to, and besides we have not seen all the smoking-cars. We are not disposed to dispute the matter; perhaps for filthiness the smoking-car does discount the hog-pen.
